We'LL Be in Your Mountains, We'LL Be in Your Songs: A Navajo Woman Sings

Albuquerque, University of New Mexico Press. 2001, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0826322174). Hard Cover, with dust jacket, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. When the Holy People gave the Navajos the gift of music, they said, "We'll be in your mountains, we'll be in your songs". This collection of Navajo music and the accompanying recording is a remarkable collaboration between a university music professor and her one-time student, a traditional Navajo who teaches on the reservation. It is an in-depth examination of twelve Navajo social songs and includes rich, detailed explanations of the culture and customs that surround both contemporary and traditional Navajo music. Marilyn Help, crowned Miss Navajo in 1977, offers direct insight into what it is like to be a Navajo woman living within the challenges of a contemporary society. At the same time, she is a cultural beacon striving to pass on traditional Navajo ways to her family, students, and friends. The book also includes explanations of traditional Navajo dance steps, notations on hand movements for selected songs, a discography, and sources for recordings and videos. Includes a CD of twelve songs sung by Marilyn Help, this book is designed for people of all ages seeking to celebrate Navajo music and culture. Very Good/Very Good.

JOHNATHAN BRACKEN

The Verdun Regiment: Into the Furnace: The 151st Infantry Regiment in the Battle of Verdun 1916

Barnsley, Pen & Sword Military. 2018, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9781526710291). Hard Cover, with dust jacket, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Although the French fielded the largest number of Allied troops on the Western Front in the First World War, the story of their soldiers is little known to English readers. The immense size of the French armies, the number of battles they fought, and the enormous losses they incurred, make it difficult for us to comprehend their experience. But we can gain a genuine insight by focusing on one of the defining battles of that war, at Verdun in 1916, and by looking at it through the eyes of a small group of soldiers who served there. That is what Johnathan Bracken does in this meticulously researched, detailed and vivid account. The French 151st Infantry Regiment spent fifty days under fire at Verdun in 1916 and another thirty-five in 1917, and lost 3,200 soldiers killed or wounded. Yet their ordeal was no different from that of hundreds of other infantry units that fought and endured in this meat-grinder of a battle. Their diaries and memoirs tell their story in the most compelling way, and through their words the larger human story of the French soldier during the war comes to life. New/New.

CHARMIAN BRINSON & MARIAN MALET (EDITORS)

Exile in and from Czechoslovakia During the 1930s and 1940s: The Yearbook of the Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies Vol. 11 (2009)

Amsterdam, Editions Rodopi BV. 2009, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9789042029590). Paperback, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. The covers have a touch of edge wear. This volume focuses on a previously under-researched area, namely exile in and from Czechoslovakia in the years prior to the Second World War as well as during the wartime and post-war periods. The study considers, firstly, the refugees from Germany and Austria who fled to Czechoslovakia during the 1930s; secondly, the refugees from Czechoslovakia, both German and Czech-speaking, who arrived in Britain in or around 1938 as refugees from Fascism; and thirdly, those who fled from Communism in 1948. From a variety of perspectives, the book examines the refugees' activities and achievements in a range of fields, both on a collective and an individual basis. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of twentieth century history, politics and cultural studies as well as those involved in Central European Studies and Exile Studies. It will also appeal to a general readership with an interest in Britain and Europe in the 1930s and 1940s. Very Good.
