Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - An adventure across time and a love that follows. From the savage years of the English Civil War to the uncertainties of a post Brexit Britain and a criminal organisation intent on ruling the UK. Two Royalist friends escape from the slaughter of what was know as the Battle of Naseby in 1645 and are pursued by a troop of Roundhead soldiers. Hoping to evade their pursuers they seek sanctuary in a remote castle with only an old man as the single occupant. They finally become trapped in the castle with the Roundheads closing in and with no other way of escape they are forced to make a leap into the unknown. Finding themselves in a world not of their own they are befriended by a father and daughter who take them into their own home. While adapting to their new way of life they witness an attempt to assassinate a national figure and in their effort to prevent it happening come face to face with their original Roundhead pursuers with unexpected consequences. One of the pair finds himself returned to his own time where he finds his family has suffered death and abuse at the hands of some Roundhead soldiers. Full of self-reproach and smouldering with a deep anger he sets out on a mission of vengeance to make the perpetrator suffer for their actions.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - After the British withdrawal from Aden in 1967 the war in Dhofar was a major step in the fight against the spread of communist domination in the Gulf. Dissidents in rebellion against the feudal rule of the old Sultan of Oman exploited the poverty and want in the countryside in order to win converts to their cause and found backing from the communist Yemen. With the help of the British, alarmed by such a threat, the Sultan's son Qaboos deposed his father and promptly set about the modernization of his country and the alleviation of poverty.At the same time Britain sent out a small team from 22 Special Air Service Regiment to aid the Sultan's Armed Forces in their fight against a communist enemy in the Dhofar region of Oman. But an army is only as good as its supplies. However inaccessible the places the patrols were fighting in they had to receive essential supplies. Air Despatch units came into being during the Second World War dropping arms and equipment to Resistance Fighters and Special Forces in Europe and other theatres' of war. They also played a vital role at Arnhem, the jungles of Burma and later Malaya and Borneo and also in the deserts of the Middle East. By the time of Dhofar 55 Air Despatch Squadron RCT, to which the author belonged, was a seasoned unit with an exemplary record of performance and several medals for gallantry. In his very readable recollections of the war, David (Geordie) Arkless recounts his sorties flying into extreme danger and of his encounters with the enemy. He also describes the day to day difficulties of living in the desert, and the methods of grappling with the complicated and intricate tasks in dropping a variety of vital supplies to the troops on the ground. First published in 1988 this second edition has been extended to include more detailed accounts of various actions along with the names of those who took part. It also contains many photographs including some not previously published.
