Addison, Paul— Churchill : The Unexpected Hero— Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005— 5½” x 8¾”. [xi] + 308pp. Black cloth gilt in d/j, As New. From the dust-jacket: "During the Second World War, Winston Churchill won two resounding victories. The first was a victory over Nazi Germany, the second a victory over the legion of sceptics who had derided his judgement, denied his claims to greatness, and excluded him from high office on the grounds that he was sure to be a danger to King and Country. Churchill was the only British politician of the twentieth century to become an enduring national hero. The curious thing is that it happened at the age of 65, at a time when he was considered to be a spent force, with a track-record of disastrous decisions. All but the most hostile of his adversaries conceded that he possessed great abilities, remarkable eloquence, and a streak of genius. But it was almost universally agreed that he was a shameless egotist, an opportunist without principles or convictions, an unreliable colleague, an erratic policy-maker who lacked judgement, and a reckless amateur strategist with a dangerous passion for war and bloodshed. At one time or another in his career, he had offended every party and faction in the land, yet despite this he became the embodiment of national unity, an uncrowned king who threatened to eclipse the monarchy. In this incisive new biography, Paul Addison tells the story of Churchill's life in parallel with the history of his reputation. He seeks to explain why Churchill was transformed into a national hero, and why his heroic status has endured ever since in spite of the attempts of iconoclasts to debunk him. He argues that we are now in a position to reach beyond the mythology - both positive and negative - to see the real Winston Churchill, a warrior-statesman whose qualities were remarkably consistent through all the vicissitudes of his career."— Stock No. 6170— £18.00

Black cloth gilt, no d/j, covers marked and rubbed, otherwise Very Good. In March, 1919, an American newspaper man named Lowell Thomas began a series of lectures at the Century Theater in New York City. His subject was the then unknown Englishman, T.E. Lawrence, who, according to Thomas, had performed incredible feats of courage in aiding the Arab revolt against the Turks. The lectures soon became a best-selling book ["With Lawrence in Arabia" (1924)], and the myth of T.E. Lawrence of Arabia was launched full blown into the world.  Since this time there have been several biographies of Lawrence and incessant controversy. A man of seemingly deliberate mystery, there was much about Lawrence and his fabulous legend to raise doubts and inquiries. Now, some twenty years after his death, Richard Aldington has taken a long hard look at the famous legend. Just how much of it, he asked, is true? Was Lawrence actually a modern Hamlet, the hero compelled to act but dogged by self-distrust and self-disgust? Working incisively through the morass of fancy, half-truths, facts and legend, he suggested that the brilliant adventurer-hero, the famed author of "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" was a neurotic and deliberate self-publicist. Collins, his publisher, was approached by Arnold Lawrence and others to stop publication. The book sent the entire British literary public into an uproar. While Mr. Aldington does not pretend to have an exhaustive answer to all the questions, he throws a valuable and provocative light on much of the Lawrence myth that had be obscured up till now.— Stock No. 2958— £30.00

Asher, Michael— Lawrence : The Uncrowned King of Arabia— London: Viking, 1998— 6¼” x 9½”. [xix] + 419pp, illustrations, maps. Red cloth gilt in d/j, As New. T.E. Lawrence, "Lawrence of Arabia", began his role in World War I as a map clerk and ended it as one of the greatest military heroes of the century. He altered the face of the Middle East, helped the Arabs gain their freedom after 500 years of domination by the Ottoman Turks, and almost single-handedly formulated many of the precepts of modern guerilla warfare. Yet he refused any honors for his achievements and spent much of the rest of his life in the ranks of the army and the Royal Air Force, in near obscurity. A brilliant propagandist, rhetorician, and manipulator, Lawrence deliberately turned his life into a conundrum and set out to mystify those who came after him, thereby insuring his place as a mythical cult figure for posterity. He saw himself as an intellectual rather than a soldier, a wanderer after sensations rather than a man of action; he was obsessed throughout his life by the idea of pain and had an abnormal fear of being hurt, yet emerged from the most devastating war in history as the ideal of heroism and courage. A man whose sensitivity allowed him to adjust his personality according to the company he was with, he wore and endless series of masks. But who was the real man behind the masks? Desert explorer and Arab scholar Michael Asher set out to solve this riddle of appearances. Retracing many of Lawrence's desert journeys, he gained startling new insights into his character. The result is an extraordinary biography combining the techniques of the detective story, travelogue, epic history, and high drama. It clears away some of the false trails, captures the authentic atmosphere of the Arab Revolt, and for the first time removes a cloud of film from Lawrence's life.— Stock No. 225— £36.00

Blue cloth gilt in d/j, As New. From the dust-jacket: "For many years the story of Francis Cromie has been overshadowed by histories of the greater tragedy found on the Western Front in World War I. Yet, like TE. Lawrence, Cromie's individual exploits reveal a classic British hero: noble, tenacious and beloved by all who served under him. Churchill called him `a man of exceptional gifts'. Captain Francis Cromie became a submarine commander at the remarkably young age of 24. By this time he had already seen action in the Boxer Rebellion, received the China Medal and had been mentioned in despatches. His compassion and care for his men had already gained him the Royal Humane Society's Bronze Medal, when he almost lost hislife attempting to save a drowning sailor. In 1915 he was chosen to head a flotilla of submarines to attack German shipping in the Baltic Sea. Here,he achieved great success despite the hazardous nature of the climate and the threat of the German navy. He was decorated three times by the Czar of Russia and received the DSO. During his three years in the Baltic he became fluent in Russian. He only survived the difficulties of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 because of his consummate skills as a mediator and diplomat. His murder in the British Embassy in 1918 at the age of 37 remained a tragic mystery for many years - until now. Roy Bainton's extensive researcheshave revealed why Cromie has previously been omitted from official histories of that difficult period. The circumstances surrounding his murder exposed facts about his complex character, his relationship with the Bolsheviks and the British Establishment- and importantly the story uncovers the duplicity of the allies as they struggled to formulate a reaction to the tidal wave of the Russian Revolution."— Stock No. 6202— £28.00

Gertrude Bell died peacefully in her sleep on 12 July 1926. Including two Historical Summaries, written by Maj.-Gen. Sir Percy Cox and Sir Henry Dobbs, of the years during which Gertrude Bell worked under them in the East. "Rarely has a woman found her place to be in so many spheres of life and activity. Gertrude Bell belonged wherever she chose to be; she had the gift of innate grace which endeared her to her acquaintances of whatever race, rank or creed. In her adventurous life she travelled far, but it was in the Near East and Middle East, the adopted lands of [Sir Richard] Burton, [Charles M.] Doughty and [T. E.] Lawrence, that she chose to linger. Syria, Persia and Iraq laid firm hold on her affections and she came to understand them as few Westerners can. She was scholar, poet, historian, archaeologist, art critic, mountaineer, explorer, naturalist, distinguished servant of the State, and these many facets of a brilliant personality are mirrored in her letters." Gertrude Bell, who with T. E. Lawrence and Sir Percy Cox created the kingdom of Iraq, was a remarkable woman. To wealth and position, she added wit, intelligence and good looks. Despite the conventions of the 1890s she excelled in mountain climbing, in modern history at Oxford, and in writing both prose and verse. A visit to the Middle East roused what became an unquenchable love of the East. She studied Persian and Arabic and set off to explore to visit desert tribes, learn their customs, made maps and delved into history and archaeology. Traveller, historian, linguist, archaeologist, geographer and prodigious writer. She became the most famous contemporary English figure in Arabia until history was swamped by the legend of T.E. Lawrence. Bell & Lawrence both became involved with Middle East affairs i.e. Military Intelligence during the war and politics afterwards.— Stock No. 4516— £40.00

Red cloth in d/j, As New. This book is an imaginatively-edited version of the eleven volumes and more than three thousand pages of the diarist's original work. Ella Bickersteth began to put it together for her six sons, because one of them was in Australia at the outbreak of war. By the spring of 1915, four of her boys were on active service. She persevered year after year with her task - and we are now presented with a vivid mixture of English social, military and family history from r9r4-r9r8. There are graphic accounts of firing squads and trench warfare and narrow escapes; of how an intelligence officer gallops around a battlefield under fire, and a sensitive chaplain ministers to dying men through days of bitter fighting. But the long inactive periods which war entails, the deep sadness a brother's death brings to a united family, and the way an imaginative padre sets about his priestly work at the Front are also faithfully described. Interwoven with all this are reflections on church and state politics, theological musings and matter-of-fact details of how an anxious mother who was also a busy vicar's wife, kept going through the huge upheaval which the war brought to the life of a middle-class, late-Victorian clerical household. One of the most important and revealing sets of diaries to emerge from the First World War, its significance is rightly pointed out by the distinguished military historian John Terraine in his introduction; and a former Archbishop of Canterbury contributes a perceptive and very personal foreword. One was in the 1st Royal Dragoons, another was a chaplain, altogether a wonderful presentation of the thought and feelings of British soldiers at war.— Stock No. 1424— £32.00

"This book has been written at the earnest request of many comrades and the kindly insistence of a friendly publisher. It was not, perhaps, until I had written it that I realised what an eventful period is bridged in less than half a century. The Ireland of my boyhood has passed away and a New Country has arisen in its stead. The Dublin Medical School continues to flourish, but under very changed conditions to the eighties. The Army to-day is very different to the archaic institution which I joined and loved. In medicine a new outlook on disease has arisen, and many mysterious diseases of my youth have been traced to their source. In surgery the teaching of Lister has been developed to such an extent that Lister himself would hardly understand the methods of the modern surgeon. The whole Empire has passed through the furnace of a World War. Everything is changed and changing. It is good, perhaps, to recall the lovable peasantry of Donegal, the days before motor cars and telephones in medical practice, the night schools of Dublin, and the days when the Army wore scarlet, blue and gold. A generation has risen which missed the War, and it may be good to show them that Great Adventure from a new angle. Indeed, it may not be out of place to try to depict the horrors of peace for the "old soldier men back from the wars." Enough and to spare has been written of the sordid side of soldiering. I would like to point out that there are still men in this country, like the Rajputs in India, who will accept no service but that of the Sword. Let those who say that there is no romance in modern war recall the, gallant soldier referred to in these pages, who, by his personality and toy drums, infused hope and courage into disheartened men. Let them remember the priceless friendships made in the dugouts of the Somme and the mud of Flanders. God knows, no one wants war, least of all those who have had first-hand experience of it. But let us not forget the gallant fellows who spent the best years of their lives acquiring that knowledge which saved this country from foreign dominion."— Stock No. 2657— £48.00

The outbreak of war changed Blunden's life, like that of so many others. Within months he was training as a volunteer with the Royal Sussex Regiment and in 1916, a temporary Second-Lieutenant, he crossed to France. He took part in some of the worst fighting of the war (carrying in his pack a copy of Julius Caesar's "De Bello Gallico") and, as soon as it was over, sat down to write his own personal history of the last three years. This, entitled "De Bello Germanico", he soon abandoned, but ten years later returned to the subject in a book to be called "Undertones of War". The change of title -- from magniloquent Latin to the modesty of "Undertones" -- is typical of the man who was to present himself (in the last sentence of the later work) as "a harmless young shepherd in a soldier's coat." In his "War Books", Cyril Falls awarded three stars and wrote: "It is probably the only single book of its kind we have had in English that reaches the stature of its subject.

Cyril Falls: "Of all the more considerable figures among British soldiers in the late War, Sir Stanley Maude remains one of the least known. To the general public he was quite unfamiliar until he received the command in Mesopotamia. His first command was, in fact, only that of an infantry brigade, but thereafter his rise was meteoric. He took over command in Mesopotamia when affairs were black, and he transformed the situation. It must not be forgotten, however, that he was given the means lacking to his predecessor; indeed, it is his immense superiority in numbers and resources which prevents us from estimating how great was really his military genius. But whether only a very competent soldier, or a great commander, as some have claimed, it is indisputable that his first operations were masterly. When he died his work was done. Sir Charles Callwell's life is on the whole a good one, but he does not quite reveal the secret of his hero, and he wrote his book before all the information regarding the enemy was available."— Stock No. 1158— £80.00
