Windlass Swordsman Buckler
Small companion shields like this were used throughout Europe during the late Medieval and Renaissance periods. Our swordsman buckler is hand forged of steel and sports a 5” central boss along with six raised supports in a sunray pattern. The face has been given a decorative acid bath, giving the shield an added ornamental finish. A generous metal handle covered with wood gives you a sure grip in any fight that may come along.

Julius Buckler: Malaula! The Battle Cry of Jasta 17, E-bok
This important work was first published in German in late 1939, no doubt timed to impress the young Luftwaffe fighter pilots who were embarking on the second major air war in history. Buckler initially served with the army when the Great War began, until he was wounded and moved to the air service to train as a pilot. Following a baptism of fire flying two-seat reconnaissance missions over France, he became a fighter pilot, joining Jasta 17 in late 1916. Despite receiving several more wounds, he continued in action, finally being awarded the highest decoration of the Pour le Mérite, and ending the war with 36 victories over British and French aircraft. Not so much a war diary, his book is more a collection of memories told in a refreshing and entertaining manner. Renowned air historian Norman Franks has placed these in context and added accurate and authenticated details of what Buckler achieved. However, the fighter ace’s original words remain largely unchanged, and Adam Wait’s expert translation gives a valuable insight into what it was like to fly over the Western Front from the other side of the line.

He provides a year by year account of The Jam's progress whilst describing what it was like being a part of the music industry during the 70's and 80's and some of the characters who he met along the way including the Ramones, John Enwistle, Sid Vicious, Blondie, Boy George and Paul McCartney. Rick shares his own experiences and thoughts about what it was like to be in one of the UK's most successful bands who spent a great deal of time recording, performing and touring. Following The Jam's split in 1982, Rick gives a candid account of how he coped and his subsequent relationship with Paul and Bruce. All three members of The Jam stayed within the music

Love With a Passion Called Hate: The Inside Story of The Jam
THE JAM WERE THE RUNTS WHO BECAME KINGS. Initially derided by New Wavers for being uncool suburbanites, Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler unexpectedly proceeded to fulfil every promise ever made by punk as they took social protest and cultural authenticity to the top of the charts. The three-piece from Woking, Surrey racked up 18 hits, among them the timeless likes of In the City, Down in the Tube Station at Midnight, Going Underground and Town Called Malice. Their classic albums included Setting Sons and Sound Affects. Yet their musical excellence was only the half of it: they prided themselves on remaining accessible to their fans, disdaining Americanisation and spurning commercial compromise. Although it was a blow to their army of followers, their split at the end of 1982 was hailed as the perfect illustration of their integrity: a bowing out at the top, regardless of financial temptation. Their story, though, was more complicated and sometimes less honourable than how it
Medieval Combat, E-bok
Talhoffer's professional fencing manual of 1467 illustrates the intricacies of the medieval art of fighting, covering both the 'judicial duel' (an officially sanctioned fight to resolve a legal dispute) and personal combat. Combatants in the Middle Ages used footwork, avoidance, and the ability to judge and manipulate timing and distance to exploit and enhance the sword's inherent cutting and thrusting capabilities. These skills were supplemented with techniques for grappling, wrestling, kicking and throwing the opponent, as well as disarming him by seizing his weapon. Every attack contained a defence and every defence a counter-attack. Talhoffer reveals the techniques for wrestling, unarmoured fighting with the long sword, pole-axe, dagger, sword and buckler, and mounted combat. This unparalleled guide to medieval combat, illustrated with 268 contemporary images, provides a glimpse of real people fighting with skill, sophistication and ruthlessness. This is one of the most popular and influential manuals of its kind.
5-minuters deckare. Leo Carring: Den gröna kofferten. Detektivhistoria. Återutgivning av text från 1924, E-bok
Efter några groggar för mycket börjar svensk-amerikanen Buckler och grosshandlaren Tobiason debattera om vem som har bästa deckarna. De slår därför vad och gör en fejkad kupp i Tobiasons konsthandel. Sedan anlitas Leo Carring för att se om han kan lösa det hela. Det här är en av de många korta novellerna om den svenske privatdetektiven Leo Carring som publicerades i svenska dagstidningar. Novellen ingår i vår serie ”5-minuters deckare” som är korta och snabblästa. Berättelserna om Carring startade den första svenska deckarvågen och han kallas ofta för ”Sveriges Sherlock Holmes”. De flesta äventyr med detektiven Leo Carring utspelar sig i Stockholm, förutom spännande skildringar av dåtidens brottslighet i huvudstaden så får man också också en inblick i den tidens nöjes- och vardagsliv. Författare till texten är Samuel August Duse (1873–1933). Han började karriären som yrkesofficer vid artilleriet och skrev sina första böcker om sin äventyrliga expedition till Antarktis år 1901. Hans största succé kom med böckerna om Leo Carring, som gavs ut i mängder av upplagor och som också översattes till ett dussintal olika språk. Den här texten publicerades ursprungligen i september år 1924 i tidningen ”Provinstidningen Dalsland” med titeln ”Den gröna kofferten. Detektivhistoria”.I den här e-boken publicerar vi originalets text ordagrant och helt utan ändringar; alla namn, uttryck och till och med felstavningar har behållits.
Buckley
'A magnificent achievement--a long, gripping, and enthralling account of the life of America's premier conservative polemicist of the twentieth century.'--Max Boot, author of Reagan: His Life and Legend 'Not only a psychologically astute and subtle biography of a seminal figure, Buckley is now the definitive intellectual history of the conservative movement.'--John Ganz, author of When the Clock Broke: Con Men, Conspiracists, and How America Cracked Up in the Early 1990s In 1951, with the publication of God and Man at Yale, a scathing attack on his alma mater, twenty-five-year-old William F. Buckley, Jr., seized the public stage--and commanded it for the next half century as he led a new generation of conservative activists and ideologues to the peak of political power and cultural influence. Ten years before his death in 2008, Buckley chose prize-winning biographer Sam Tanenhaus to tell the full, uncensored story of his life and times, granting him extensive interviews and exclusive
Buckled
I protect what's mine.The ranch, my family, our buried secrets.Nothing will stop me from reassembling the life that went terribly wrong.Not the law.Not our enemies.Not even Maybe Quinn.The gorgeous, quarrelsome journalist shouldn't have meddled.I shouldn't have let her stay.But she's hiding something in those deceptive blue eyes.Something deeper than her thirst for a news story.I make a deal with her to buy time.To unravel her lies. To play with her. To satisfy my darker appetites.When she buckles beneath my belt, I'll send her away.Unless I buckle first.
