Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. ## THE ROMAN AGE: Everyone A Witness 1977 by A F Scott ## ~#~ THIS BOOK: Classified NEAR FINE: This is a 1977 Edition. First Published in 1977. The cover is a creamy white, the text in black and the title in purple. There is minor shelf wear, but the book is clean and tidy. Over one hundred illustrations to enhance the text and reading enjoyment. ## ## THE ROMAN AGE in Britain spanned nearly five hundred years, yet few visible memorials to that time remain. For after the Roman Age came a nightmare of darkness. The destruction of Roman Britain by pitiless bands of invading Saxons was almost complete. This devastation of cities and countryside is why so few Roman buildings remain in Britain and why that splendour must be found in those other parts of the Roman Empire pictured here. ## ## Unlike any others of its kind, this book ? though centred on the Romanisation of Britain ? gives a wide range of current information about the Roman Empire, of which Britain was simply the furthermost province. What was known in Rome and other Empire provinces became known in Britain? Architecture, engineering, cultivation, the arts, warfare and everything else were much the same throughout. Shown in the most apposite text and the many informative and revealing illustrations. Of a Roman civilisation seen through Roman eyes. Here in one book, is the very essence of a vital period in the history of Britain and humankind. ## #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.

Card Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st White Lion Edition. Hardback. Tommy Atkins. Ex-library with ex-library markings. Slightly rolled spine. Slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. Sunned spine to D/J. The story of the English soldier is an epic of incredible loyalty and devotion to duty; and of almost unbroken eventual success. Life was often made intolerable for him - yet again and again he cheerfully fought and won against appalling odds. Successive governments misused his talents and his loylalties - and he died without compalint to save them from their follies. His superiors often treated him with sickening brutality - and he repaid them with devotion, even affection. Poorly fed, poorly housed, woefully equipped, mercilessly worked, over-loaded and underpaid, this unique individualist continued to win battles and the unstinted respect - and even the friendship - of his foes, as well as his allies, all over the world.

Book First Edition
Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. The Lady in the Cellar. Murder , Scandal and Insanity in Victorian Bloomsbury. The discovery of a well-dressed lady's body in the coal cellar of 4, Euston Square gripped tje public imagination in Victorian London and shocked wider society as a whole. However, this macabre find was just the beginning of this scandalous story. The police investigation of the murder, led by Inspector Charles Hagen, a rising star of the recently formed Criminal Investigation Department (CID), exposed a sinister web f sexual intrigue and shone a spotlight on the lives of prime suspects: housemaid Hannah Dobbs, landlord Severin Baqstendorff, his wife and brothers. The murder case quicklly became a cause celebre, sparking public debate on questions of private morality, class conflict and European immigration, and led to the publication of possibly the first sensational 'kiss and tell' tabloid story. In this book the author expertly delves into the archives, fllowing the police inquiry, the criminal trials pertaining to the case and provides the first full-length account of one of Victorian London's most scandalous murder cases. Illustrated. 312 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 23 cm. 222, illus., sources, index. Includes four black and white illustrations. DJ has some creasing, soiling, and tears. Book has some page darkening/discoloration. Alan McCrae Moorehead, AO, OBE (22 July 1910 - 29 September 1983) was a war correspondent and historian, most notably two books on the nineteenth-century exploration of the Nile, The White Nile (1960) and The Blue Nile (1962). During World War II he won an international reputation for his coverage of campaigns in the Middle East and Asia, the Mediterranean and Northwest Europe. He was twice mentioned in dispatches and was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. According to the critic Clive James, "Moorehead was there for the battles and the conferences through North Africa, Italy and Normandy all the way to the end. The hefty but unputdownable African Trilogy, still in print today, is perhaps the best example of Moorehead's characteristic virtue as a war correspondent: he could widen the local story to include its global implications." And James further affirmed, "His copy was world-famous at the time and has stayed good; he was a far better reporter on combat than his friend Ernest Hemingway." Moorehead's 1946 biography of Montgomery also remains well considered - "Moorehead was well able to see - as Wilmot calamitously didn't - that Eisenhower was Montgomery's superior in character and judgment." In September 1945, a young cipher clerk at the Russian Embassy in Ottawa decided to defect to the West. His action ultimately led to the arrest for espionage of three very different men, Klaus Fuchs, Allan Nunn May, and Bruno Pontecorvo. What was it in their backgrounds and personalities that led these men--all of them brilliant and highly respected physicists--to sell atomic secrets to a foreign power? The author suggests some explanations in this book. This is derived from a Kirkus review: A highly intelligent introduction to the three atomic traitors Allan Nunn May, Klans Fuchs and Doctor Bruno Pontecervo, which is not just an airing of the facts in their cases- fascinating as they are, but an inquiry into the moral content of their treason, the political climate which prompted it, and the concept of loyalty and freedom, such betrayals jeopardized. These three, educated men rather than mercenaries and professionals, directed by a sense of a mission however misguided, present a curious study in personality: Allan Nunn May, an unremarkable little man who was a senior reader in physics at King's College London, at the time of his arrest, but prior to that had been an active informer in Montreal; Klaus Fuchs, detached, shy, serious, a scientist of international standing at the British atomic center in Harwell, and a man whose conscience led him to turn over his knowledge of the uranium bomb, the plutonium bomb and its detonating lens, to the Russians; and finally Pontecervo, also at Harwell, charming, sociable, whose happy-go-lucky holiday in Europe with his family preceded a final disappearance behind the Iron Curtain. An exiting interrogation into character and conduct, handled with style and a speculative thoughtfulness. White Lion Edition [Stated]. Presumed first printing thus.
