Douglas Bader, E-bok
Douglas Bader was a legend in his lifetime and remains one today 100 years after his birth. A charismatic leader and fearless pilot, he refused to let his severe disability (loss of both legs in a flying accident) ground him. He fought the authorities as ruthless as he did the enemy and not only managed to return to the front line but became a top scoring ace. His innovative tactics (The Big Wing) ensured his promotion and he led a key group of squadrons during the dark days of the Battle of Britain.His luck ran out when he was shot down and captured; he only escaped his burning fighter by cutting away one of his artificial legs.As a POW he was a thorn in the Germans side and he was sent to Colditz Castle.As this perceptive book reveals Bader, the hero, was at times a difficult overbearing man, no doubt in part due to the pain he suffered. But his strengths far outweighed his weaknesses and his place in the annuals of British history is secure.This is a timely republication of an important biography.EPUB3: Reflowable
Douglas Haig, E-bok
As a young officer in the prestigious 21st Lancers (motto Death or Glory) Douglas Haig played a leading role in Kitcheners bold expedition which ended in the defeat of the Khalifa of Sudan at Omdurman. He described the action, as he did the whole campaign, vividly in words and diagrams which survived virtually untouched at the family home Bemersyde in the Borders.These letters and diaries allow the reader to trace Haig's career and developing character. What they reveal may well surprise his critics.Field Marshal Lord Haig will remain a hugely controversial figure due to his preeminent role during The Great War. He was a hugely popular public figure in the post WW1 years and revered by those who served under him. His death in 1928 was a major occasion for mourning. Only later was he heavily criticized for the slaughter of the trenches.
Freya Douglas Morris: This star I give to you
The first publication on the work of London-based artist Freya Douglas-Morris documents her first solo exhibition with Alexander Berggruen, New York, in autumn 2023. This star I give to you is the first publication on the work of London-based artist Freya Douglas-Morris, presenting a body of paintings exploring the poetry, beauty and magic of landscapes and the natural world. Born in London in 1980, Douglas-Morris spent several of her childhood years in a village near the coast on the Isle of Wight before she and her family moved back to London. These experiences of the land, sea and sky contributed to her fascination with these subjects in her painting practice: ‘I think my love of being outdoors started then’ she remarks during her interview with British publisher Matt Price for this publication. The interview, which was held in the artist’s East-London studio shortly before Douglas-Morris’s solo exhibition of the same name at Alexander Berggruen, New York, in autumn 2023, explores

Nash Falls
Walter Nash is a mild-mannered, happy and successful businessman with a loving family. He has never lifted a weight or fired a gun in anger, and he has no special physical or investigatory skills. The dark world is not a place he knows – until the FBI comes calling on the very day of his estranged Vietnam veteran father’s funeral. They tell him that the company he works for is actually a criminal organization. And they need his help in a risky endeavour to bring it all down. In doing so, Nash’s perfect world is destroyed. And in seeking justice and revenge, Nash must become someone else: a man of violence and physicality who must find traction and purpose in the same dark world that invaded and crushed everything near and dear to him. Can Walter Nash reinvent himself into a weapon of righteousness and justice? The odds are not with him. But bet against Walter Nash at your peril . . .
