Yet historians have been reluctant to undertake the task of chronicling the history of the nation in its entirety. This distinguished volume, first published in Welsh as Hanes Cymru in 1990, traces the history of Wales from the earliest times to the late twentieth century ~ from the first Welshmen at Ffynnon Beuno to the miners' strike, from the Red Lady of Paviland to the establishment of the Welsh television channel, from the end of the Ice Age to the politics of our day. Never before has there been so comprehensive and detailed a study of the whole span of the history of Wales.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. London. Allen Lane/Penguin Group. 2014. First Edition/First Printing (001 printed under first published 2014 to copyright page). Hard Cover. Demy 8vo, 8¾" x 5½" [22 x 14 cm] approx. Dark grey boards with black titles to the spine. Pale blue endpapers. Black and white frontispiece of Flora Thompson. Hint of toning to the text block but the book is fine. Cover artwork to dust wrapper by Millie Marotta. Unclipped at £16.99 and also fine. While the Lark Rise to Candleford trilogy, Flora Thompson's much-loved portrait of life in the English countryside, has inspired a hit television series, relatively little is known about the author herself. In this highly original book, bestselling biographer and nature writer Richard Mabey sympathetically retraces her life and her transformation from a post-office clerk who left school at fourteen to a sophisticated professional writer. Revealing how a formidable imagination can arise from the humblest of beginnings, Dreams of the Good Life paints a poignant, unforgettable portrait of a working-class woman writer's struggle for creative expression. The dust jacket will be protected with a new inert archival quality sleeve which is removable. Please contact us if you would like any more information or additional images. Postage price quoted outside the UK is for a book up to 1kg using UPS. For books sent within the UK, there will be no extra charge for books up to 2kg which are sent by Royal Mail. Postage quoted in the UK is the actual cost (£3.45). All books are sent in protective packing and custom book box. If your book is intended as a gift, please let us know and we will gift wrap it free of charge with a card and any message.

Zelda la Grange grew up in South Africa as a white Afrikaner who supported the rules of segregation. Yet just a few years after the end of Apartheid she would become a most trusted assistant to Nelson Mandela, growing to respect and cherish the man she had been taught was the enemy. Her life, beliefs, prejudices and everything she once believed in was transformed by the greatest man of her time. She became the President's most loyal and devoted servant, spending most of her adult working life travelling with, supporting and caring for the man she would come to call 'Khulu', or 'grandfather'. Zelda pays tribute to Nelson Mandela as she knew him - a teacher who gave her the most valuable lessons of her life.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Illus. With Photos (illustrator). 1st Edition. London. Allen Lane/Penguin Group. 2007.

Dark red boards with black titles to the spine. Black and white glossy photographs in the text. The much less common UK first printing of this text. No wear to book or jacket; both are fine. Since its creation in 1947, the CIA has been a byword for everything that is sinister and ruthless about America's projection of power during the Cold War and with the 'war on terror'. There have been few major political events around the world in which the hidden hand of the Agency has not been seen. In countless movies and books, the CIA has been shown as decisive, brilliant and in control of its own secret world: the image of omnipotence. But this is an illusion. In reality, the CIA has been incompetent, naive, chaotic, and a danger to American interests for sixty years. Legacy of Ashes is both a horrifying and a richly enjoyable book. Tim Weiner's immense research reveals a startlingly consistent level of failure. The general dismay at the CIA's failure to see the fall of the Soviet Union, the end of the Cold War, the invasion of Kuwait, the events of 9/11, its wholly false assessment of Saddam's WMD and its role in the 'rendition' of innocent suspects implies that it has fallen from some bygone golden age. Legacy of Ashes makes clear that the CIA has always been a blundering, ruinously incapable organization, with each decade providing its own low points. Legacy of Ashes is as gripping and powerful a narrative as its fictional movie counterparts, but the story it has to tell is a lot less comforting.

Spring 1917 on the Western Front. How were the Allies to discover where the Germans were going to make their next push, which parts of the line they were reinforcing? In this first full account of an Allied spying operation behind enemy lines during the First World War, Morgan describes how British military intelligence set up its Paris office in 1917 and persuaded a Luxembourg woman of remarkable courage to return as a spy to her native country to watch over the crucial railway marshalling yards there. To join her they sent Albert Baschwitz Meau, one of the most dashing, brave and colourful characters of this or any other war, who was floated one dark night in spring 1918 in an unpowered balloon over German lines. Morgan reveals how the Allies recruited agents in Europe and ran their operations in enemy controlled territory. But as well as the espionage story, she also tells the personal stories of the individual men and women who worked under such intense pressure and in such exceptional circumstances. Quite scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).
