The dust jacket is mostly clean and bright, but there is a small semi-closed tear to the bottom front flap joint. "Beginning as a Cornet at Waterloo, Matthew Hervey of the 6th Light Dragoons, and son of the vicar of Horningsham finds himself in many of the colonial military actions thereafter, including Ireland, Canada, India, South Africa, Burma and the Balkans. His climb through the ranks is neither fast nor easy, as the son of a vicar does not have the private means to readily buy promotion. His romantic life is also more turbulent than might be expected of a vicar's son. Despite his personal trials he makes a very human effort to remain a man of honor, and the adversities he faces change him perceptively as a character throughout the series. As the impressionable cornet is tried and tested his touchstone remains his fellow dragoons, to several of whom he becomes very close. " (from Wikipedia).

Condition: First edition, New in dj, Chris Collingwood (illustrator). London: Bantam Press:, 2003. First edition, New in dj, 320 pp. Cover artwork by: Chris Collingwood This new novel stars Mallinson's Matthew Hervey. Hervey is a very popular character. The scene is India of the early nineteenth century. Hervey commands a troop of British cavalry. Their mission is to take a virtually impregnable fortress that has withstood all previous attacks. That's not his only problem: the successor to the Raj has been usurped, various warmongers are amassing troops, and it's uncomfortable hot. Not exactly George Macdonald Fraser. "This elegant writer, a serving cavalry officer himself, is so steeped in the history of the British cavalry, so skillful in evoking the period of Wellington and Napoleon, so sound in his knowledge of horsemanship and technical detail, that his tales are not only believable, but delightfully informative.".

Soon, Hervey and his troop are in the midst of hot and bloody action once again. The fourth Matthew Hervey adventure.

Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, spine slightly faded, very slight yellowing to page block, top corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 326pp. Captain Matthew Hervey has faced many tests both on and off the battlefield, but when he returns to his beloved Sixth Light Dragoons he must address a new challenge from a totally unexpected quarter. It is the spring of 1817, and Matthew Hervey is home from India to rejoin his regiment, and to marry at last, Henrietta. England is not the place he knew, however. The clamour for parliamentary and economic reform is bringing the country close to revolution. Every day the newspapers report conspiracies, violent assemblies, machine breaking, arson and murder. There is no professional constabulary, and the onerous task of policing falls increasingly to the army, especially the cavalry. In the Sixth Light Dragoons, too, things are not as they were. There is a new commanding officer, rich, vain, arrogant, cruel and with a dark secret. His dislike of Hervey is immediate and intense. Yet Matthew Hervey must somehow earn this man's recommendation for promotion, or else he will have to retire on half pay. Hervey faces a year of trials, in his marriage, his loyalty to his men, his professional skill. The mistakes begin to tell when the regiment is sent urgently to Canada. The third Matthew Hervey adventure.

Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, some very slight browning to page block, not price clipped ((£17.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 351pp. Captain Sir Laughton Peto, recently engaged to Matthew Hervey¿s sister, Elizabeth, has just taken command of HMS Prince Rupert, the only three decker ship in commission. He is the proud master of a wooden fortress whose formidable firepower is the equal of Bonaparte¿s grand battery at Waterloo. But his passage to the Ionian, where Admiral Codrington is assembling an Anglo Russian French fleet to evict the Turks from Greek waters will not be smooth sailing. First he must exercise his crew, most of whom have not seen action before. He has also been entrusted with the safe passage to Malta of the Admiral's youngest daughter. Six months on, and Matthew Hervey is in London recovering from another bout of malaria and the wound from his battle with the Zulu. All is set fair for his marriage to the eminently suitable Lady Lankester, and his subsequent return to active duty at the Cape. But trouble lies ahead as familial commitments clash with affairs of the heart, and Hervey finds himself embroiled in a military enquiry that can, at best, spell personal embarrassment, and that could result in public humiliation. As the cataclysmic battle of Navarino Bay looms ever closer for Peto and his crew, the full outcome of which is not known in London even six months later, Hervey faces a crisis that could change both his life and his military career.

Epic in scope, Marge Piercy's sweeping novel encompasses the wide range of people and places marked by the Second World War. Each of her ten narrators has a unique and compelling story that powerfully depicts his or her personality, desires, and fears. Special attention is given to the women of the war effort, like Bernice, who rebels against her domineering father to become a fighter pilot, and Naomi, a Parisian sent to live with relatives in Detroit, whose twin sister, Jacqueline, still in France, joins the resistance against the Nazis. The horrors of the concentration camps, the heroism of soldiers on the beaches of Okinawa, the skies above London and the seas of the Mediterranean, the brilliance of code breakers and the resilience of families waiting for the return of sons, brothers and fathers, are all conveyed through powerful, poignant prose that resonates beyond the page. 'Gone to Soldiers' is a testament to the ordinary people, with their flaws and inner strife, who rose to defend liberty during the most extraordinary times. It has become a modern classic and a scarce book. A large heavy book, extra postage may be required.
