Price clipped. 294pp. Product Description: The story of two sisters who landed on Planet Pop and how they survived thanks to each other. Since they first hit the charts in 1997 with the All Saints, the Appletons have lived, loved and squabbled in the full glare of the tabloids. In this biography they tell of their struggles and successes - the amazing highs of stardom and its dangerous lows. How, despite making records that topped the charts and had the critics cheering, there were tensions in the group from the start, and how the music industry - obsessed with image and control - would put extraordinary pressure on the girls and their loved ones. They talk about the people in their lives, including Robbie Williams, Jamie Theakston and Liam Gallagher. And they explain the unique bonds of love and sisterhood that have kept them together.

Red Road from Stalingrad: Recollections of a Soviet Infantryman

Mint condition. Pen & Sword Military, 2004. First UK edition-first printing. Brown hardback(gilt lettering to the spine) with Dj(very small nick/tear and scratch on the edges of the Dj cover), both in mint condition. Illustrated with b/w photos, maps. The book is new with a small nick on the edge of the pages. 204pp including Appendices I-III and index. Price un-clipped. First edition. Product Description: Mansur Abdulin fought in the front ranks of the Soviet infantry against the German invaders at Stalingrad, Kursk and on the banks of the Dnieper. This is his extraordinary story. n nHis vivid inside view of a ruthless war on the Eastern Front gives a rare insight into the reality of the fighting and into the tactics and mentality of the Red Army's soldiers. In his own words, and with a remarkable clarity of recall, he describes what combat was like on the ground, face to face with a skilled, deadly and increasingly desperate enemy. The terrifying moments of action, the discomfort of existence at the front, the humorous moments, the absurdities and cruelties of army organization, and the sheer physical and psychological harshness of the campaign - all these aspects of a Soviet soldier's experience during the Great Patriotic War are brought dramatically to life in Mansur Abdulin's memoirs. n nOf special interest is the insight he offers into ordinary operations and daily life in the lower ranks of the Soviet army. As he tells his story he reveals much about the thinking of the men, their attitude to the war and their loyalties. He also sheds light on the tense relationships between the disparate national groups that were thrown together to create a huge fighting force. But most memorable are his honest, horrifying descriptions of combat, of being bombed and shelled, of trench warfare, of enduring tank attacks and friendly fire, and of coping with the wounded and the dead. n nThe Author Mansur Gizzatulovich Abdulin was born a Tatar in Anzhero-Sudzhensk, near Tomsk in central Siberia, in 1923. He worked as a miner before volunteering to fight for the Red Army in June 1942. After completing his course at the Tashkent infantry school, he fought on the Stalingrad front, during the encirclement of the German 6th Army, participated in the bitter, decisive battle at Kursk and harried the Germans as they retreated across the Steppes to the banks of the Dnieper river where he was seriously wounded. After the war he returned to his work as a miner and he now lives in retirement at Novotroitsk near Orenburg in the Urals. As New/As New. ISBN: 9781844151455

The Accidental President

Mint condition. Doubleday, 2018. First UK edition-2nd printing (3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2). Black hardback (gilt lettering to the spine) with Dj (small nick on the edges of the Dj cover), both in mint condition. Illustrated with b/w photos. The book is new. 441pp including Timeline, notes, index. Price un-clipped. Heavy book. Book Description: The remarkable story of President Harry Truman's first four months in office when this unlikely, small-town, Washington outsider had to take on Germany, Japan, Stalin and the atomic bomb, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance - one of the most extraordinary challenges in American presidential history. Heroes are often defined as ordinary characters who find themselves facing extraordinary circumstances and, through courage and a dash of luck, cement their place in history. Chosen as President Roosevelt's fourth term Vice President for his admired work ethic, good judgement and lack of enemies, Harry S. Truman was the prototypical ordinary man from small-town America. That is, until he was thrust in over his head following the sudden death of Roosevelt. With the world still caught up in the inferno of the Second World War, Truman found himself playing the roles of both judge and jury during the founding of the UN, the Potsdam Conference, the Manhattan Project, the German surrender, the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and the decision to drop the Bomb and bring the war to the end. Tightly focused, meticulously researched and drawing on documentation not available to previous biographers, The Accidental President escorts readers into the situation room with Truman during this tumultuous, history-making four months - when the stakes were high and the challenges even higher. .
