This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 12 working days Best-selling and Pulitzer Prize winning historian Rick Atkinson's new book is a masterly history of the American War of Independence. With its start-to-finish battle narratives, the book captures the experience of the war and the profound emotional depths on display from the beginning. History at its most compelling. In June 1773, King George III attended a grand celebration of his reign over the greatest, richest empire since ancient Rome. Less than two years later, Britain's bright future turned dark: after a series of provocations, the king's soldiers took up arms against his rebellious colonies in America. The war would last eight years, and though at least one in ten of the Americans who fought for independence would die for that cause, the prize was valuable beyond measure: freedom from oppression and the creation of a new republic. Rick Atkinson, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning An Army at Dawn and two other superb books about the Second World War has long been admired for his unparalleled ability to write deeply researched, stunningly vivid narrative history. In this new book, he tells the story of the first twenty-one months of America's violent effort to forge a new nation. From the battles at Lexington and Concord in spring 1775 to those at Trenton and Princeton in winter 1776-77, American militiamen and then the ragged Continental Army take on the world's most formidable fighting force and struggle to avoid annihilation. It is a gripping saga alive with astonishing characters: Henry Knox, the former bookseller with an uncanny understanding of artillery; Nathanael Greene, the blue-eyed bumpkin who becomes one of America's greatest battle captains; Benjamin Franklin, the self-made man who proves himself the nation's wiliest diplomat; George Washington, the commander in chief who learns the difficult art of leadership when the war seems all but lost. Full of riveting details and untold stories, The British Are Coming is a tale of heroes and knaves, of sacrifice and blunder, of redemption and profound suffering. Rick Atkinson has given stirring new life to the first act of America's creation drama.

British aviators John Alcock and Arthur Brown made the first non-stop transatlantic flight in June 1919. They flew a modified First World War Vickers Vimy bomber from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Clifden, Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. The Secretary of State for Air, Winston Churchill, presented them with the Daily Mail prize for the first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by aeroplane in "less than 72 consecutive hours". A small amount of mail was carried on the flight, making it the first transatlantic airmail flight. The two aviators were awarded the honour of Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE) a week later by King George V at Windsor Castle.

(This title is available on demand: expected date of dispatch will be 4-7 working days once ordered) Gods Without Men is Hari Kunzru's epic novel of intertwined lives and a vast expanse of American desert. In the Californian desert...A four-year-old boy goes missing. A British rock star goes quietly mad. An alien-worshipping cult is born. An Iraqi teenager takes part in a war game. In a remote town, near a rock formation known as The Pinnacles, lives intertwine, stories echo, and the universal search for meaning and connection continues. "Kunzru's great American novel". (Independent). "Readers speak of it in hushed tones as conveying the secrets of the universe". (Newsday). "Extraordinary, smart, innovative, a revelation. Has the counterculture feel of a late-1960s US campus hit - something by Vonnegut or Pynchon or Wolfe. Genuinely interesting and exhilarating. Extremely enjoyable". (Guardian). "Astonishing, mind-blowing. One of the most original novels I've read in years". (Counterpunch). "One of the most socially observant and skilful novelists around. Consistently gripping and entertaining". (Literary Review). "A great sprawling narrative, as vast as the canvas on which it is written". (Washington Post). "Reverberates long after you finish reading it". (New Yorker). Hari Kunzru is the author of the novels The Impressionist, Transmission, My Revolutions and Gods Without Men, and the story collection Noise. He lives in New York. Format:Paperback Pages:400

  (W) Steve MacManus In 1973, twenty-year-old Steve MacManus joined Fleetway Publications in London as a sub-editor on one of the UK's top adventure titles,  Valiant. Within six years, he would rise to become editor of the company's most celebrated weekly,  2000 AD, shepherding it through its "Golden Age" as he commissioned numerous hit series such as  The Ballad of Halo Jones,  Sláine,  Bad Company,  Rogue Trooper,  Nemesis the Warlock, and more, ensuring its place as the most influential comic Britain has ever produced. In this warm and witty memoir, MacManus lifts the lid on the fiercely creative environment that was British comics in the 1970s and '80s - from the hugely successful launch of  Battle  to the controversial censorship of  Action, from the brief life of  Starlord  to the stellar rise of  2000 AD  and  Judge Dredd.
