"Here for the first time is the incredible true story of one of Hitler's most diabolical plans: to wreak havoc and terror in America's cities through the hands of carefully trained German agents whose goal was to sabotage manufacturing plants, cut off New York City's water supply, and bomb train stations and Jewish-owned department stores. "Shadow Enemies" follows the incredible facts of this episode, from the recuitment and training of the agents to their landing on the shores of New York and Florida and their successful infiltration into American society, and from there to the desperate attempts of the FBI to apprehend them before they could put their plans into effect. With exclusive access to previously classified material, the authors of "Shadow Enemies" present a unique account that not only follows the unfolding of the plot from the outside but also affords a fascinating glimpse of the interior motivations and fears of a key member of the Nazi cell. Equaly fascinating is the second part of the story. Fearful that a civilian jury might be led to find the defendants innocent, President Roosevelt ordered that, since the agents had been captured in the act of espionage during wartime, they had no civil rights and could thus be tried by a hitherto unknown military tribunal. The resulting trial led to the execution of six of the eight conspirators only two months after their arrest." — Stock No. 6194 — £16.00

But the tenure of an official post, held during ten years under the late Sultan and during the Regency of the late Vizier Ben Moussa, imposed a silence which it was intended should never be broken, least of all to advocate the introduction of foreign control into the internal administration of Morocco. But when it is persistently rumoured road that it is in contemplation to give another great Power the preponderating influence in Morocco over every other Power, and when the newspapers in France never cease to refer to the coming ascendency of their country in the counsels the empire, it is no longer a breach of loyalty to advocate that Great Britain should be associated in any importation of foreign control." — Stock No. 2032 — £80.00

From the Preface: "This book is intended as a record of those dramatic days my brother and myself passed with the Turkish Army in Thrace during the battle of Lule Burgas and in the subsequent retreat on the lines of Chataldja ... Since the last chapter was in print the revolt of the Young Turkish part against Kiamil's Government, because of its decision to surrender to surrender Adrianople to the Bulgarians -- foreshadowed in the last chapter -- has actually taken place, and Nazim Pasha, the late minister of War, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army, has been assassinated. Whether the Young Turks will endeavour to carry on the war only the future can show, but all the arguments set forth in the concluding chapter against such a course of action still hold good, and a revolution in Constantinople in no wise alters the strategical and financial objections to a renewal of the campaign. Turkey's European Provinces and the fortress of Adrianople are irrevocably lost, and any effort to regain them can only lead to further disasters." Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett was the eldest son of Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett (1849-1902). Born in 1881, he was educated at Marlborough College. In 1897, at the age of 17, he accompanied his father to Turkey as the guest of the Sultan and followed the Turkish army in its campaign against the Greeks. At one point the party was arrested by the Greeks as spies. Ashmead-Bartlett had begun studying to become a barrister when he left with his regiment for the South African War in February 1900. At the end of May he was taken ill, sent home and spent 7 months in hospital. By early in 1901 he was in Marseilles and Monte Carlo, supposedly for recuperation (A/3), and in May 1901 he returned to London to stay with his uncle and aunt, the Burdett-Coutts, and continued his legal studies. It was not until 1904 that he began his career as a war correspondent by covering the siege of the Russian port of Port Arthur by the Japanese, entering the city with the victors. His account, Port Arthur: the siege and capitulation (London 1906) was well received. For the next few years he mixed a full social life in London and the country and in Paris (as described in his diaries) with periods as a war correspondent and writer and a developing political career. As Reuters' special correspondent he accompanied the French army in Morocco (1907-08), the Spanish in Morocco (1909) and the Italians in Tripoli (1911). At home he fought the safe Labour seat of Normanton in Yorkshire for the Conservatives in January 1910 and the Liberal seat of Poplar in December 1910. He was then employed by the Daily Telegraph to be its correspondent in the Balkans and he covered the two Balkan wars of 1912-1913. — Stock No. 1919 — £220.00

From the Prologue: "The Army in Mesopotamia was the Forgotten Army of the First World War, or so it seemed to those who were there. All it got was anything that was too old, too worn or too inadequate for use elsewhere; even the ammunition was labeled "Made in the USA. For practice only." All this perhaps, the men could have endured and still smiled, but the tide of war had turned against them. Kut had fallen - fallen in spite pf all the desperate and costly efforts made to break through to its gallant defenders. The men in Mesopotamia were exhausted physically and mentally; failure and frustration lay heavy upon them. When Allah made Hell, runs the Arab proverb, he did not find it bad enough, so he made Mesopotamia - and added flies. What was a British Army doing in this Godforsaken place and how had it all come about? From the Epilogue: "By the spring of 1916, the ugly rumors circulating in Britain about the sufferings of the wounded, and the inadequate administrative arrangements in Mesopotamia, had aroused considerable feelings of anxiety, indignation and alarm. During the anxious weeks when Kut lay under siege, criticism of the way the campaign was being run swelled to a volume that the authorities in Whitehall found impossible to ignore. Largely to propitiate the press, a Commission of public inquiry, was appointed to "examine the origin, inception and conduct of the operation" in Mesopotamia and where the evidence warranted it, "apportion" blame and responsibility. The Commission's report was published in August 1917 and the storm of indignation which it created can only be compared with that which followed the loss of the Minorca in 1756 and resulted in the execution of Admiral Byng on the quarterdeck of the 'Monarque'."

Utley, Trutz von Trotha, Glenn Anthony May, Sabine Dabringhaus. From the dust-jacket: "The essays in Anticipating Total War explore the discourse on war in Germany and the United States between 1871 and 1914. The concept of "total war" provides the analytical focus. The essays reveal vigorous discussions of warfare in several forums among soldiers, statesmen, women's groups, and educators on both sides of the Atlantic. Predictions of long, cataclysmic wars were not uncommon in these discussions, while the involvement of German and American soldiers in colonial warfare suggested that future combat would not spare civilians. Despite these "anticipations of total war," virtually no one realized the practical implications in planning for war in the early twentieth century." — Stock No. 1086 — £90.00
