Savannah Heat  by Kat Martin     Despite her disguise as Silver Jones, tavern maid, Lady Selena Hardwich-Jones was captured by bounty hunters combing the Georgia cost for the runaway with hair pale as spun silver and eyes like soft brown velvet. Forced onto a ship headed for her home in the West Indies, Silver vowed to make her break for freedom. But in the vessel's brash owner she found a will to match her own. Major Morgan Trask was determined to deliver his lovely human cargo safely to the aristocrat he had long admired. Was the ship's dashing captain Silver's stern captor--or her gallant protector? Tormented by doubts, tantalized by desire, Silver's emotions were in turmoil. For a secret shame kept her from telling Morgan. Trask the real reason for her flight, all the while fearing--and yearning --to trust him. As they sailed into treacherous waters, their very lives in peril, Silver and Morgan could no longer deny their hunger for each other... as they surrendered to a passion that burned hotter than the Savannah heat             SOME WEAR AND TEAR

The Jungle Fighter is a refreshing, revealing portrait of the life of PETER EKANDJO. It traces his history, from a village boy and battle tested fighter to a lone clandestine operative inside Namibia. It is a refreshing autobiography of a gallant peoples Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) fighter, who spent seven years operating inside Namibia. Five years were spent engaging the colonial security forces in various battles, while two years were spent on clandestine assignments in Windhoek, Walvisbay, Luderitz, Grootfontein, Oshakati, Ondangwa, and other places across the northern part of Namibia. The book also provides an insight on how Peter Ekandjo ended up in enemy hands on the 1st May 1986 after his former comrade had betrayed him. He was arrested whilst on his way to Walvisbay on a clandestine mission. Further, the book attempts to detail how he planned his miraculous escape  under life-threatening circumstances when he was wounded by enemy fire during his audacious escape from an enemy cell in Oshakati on the midnight of 30 October 1986.  The book recounts attempts by enemy forces to either re-arrest or kill him after his escape. The enemy forces launched manhunt operations, of foot soldiers backed by aeroplanes, to either re-capture or kill him. During the operations, aeroplanes dropped leaflets with Ekandjos Photos, urging the public to give information that would lead to his re-capture or elimination. The enemy forces offered R280 000.00 for information leading to his re-capture and R170 000.00 for getting him killed.  The book is a thrilling narration of a man who went through untold humiliations at the hand of the colonial troops and traces a torturous experience and his undoubted strength and courage under extreme pressure a testimony of a spirit of never surrender. You are encouraged to read this book as part of the history of the armed liberation struggle against the colonial apartheid regime of South Africa in Namibia by the people of Namibia under the leadership of SWAPO of Namibia.  Peter Ekandjo holds a Masters In Business Management (Masstricht School of Management, The Netherlands); Bachelor of Business Management (University of South Africa; National Diploma in Commerce (Polytechnic of Namibia); Diploma in Political Science (Rostock Institute of Political Science in the Former East Germany) and numerous Certificates in diverse fields of studies.  SOFTCOVER, 324 pages. 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINT

1991. Hard cover with dust cover; 144 pages. Very good condition. Tightly bound, neat and clean. Under 1kg. When he wrote this little classic, which historians of the period rank alongside Morris's more famous Washing of the Spears, sir Reginald Coupland was the foremost living authority on the history of the British Empire.   In Zulu Battle Piece he describes,with swift and vivid strokes, the situation between whites and blacks, the great military qualities and terrifying military tactics of the Zulu warriors and the characters of the Englishmen, soldiers and politicians, involved in the disaster: and then having the consummate art and scholarship prepared the reader, he sets the great action in that strange,eerie land, until the reader can truly feel that he has lived through it himself. The aftermath brings him to Rorke's Drift and the gallant British stand that averted irretrieveable disater.   In his new introduction to this readable and concise work, Ian Knight discusses Coupland's thinking and sets the book in its proper historical and literary perspective. 

  The Longest Siege - Tobruk, The Battle that saved North Africa by Robert Lyman   Beginning on 10th April 1941, and lasting for 240 days, the siege of Tobruk is a mesmerising tale of human endurance and heroism. It is an epic story of extraordinary resilience as the Libyan port's 24,000 defenders met increasingly desperate attempts by Rommel's Panzer divisions to break through the hurriedly thrown-up defences. It was a battle of bayonets and grenades against tanks, of David versus Goliath. The eventual allied victory came against overwhelming odds, plus the morale sapping knowledge that the defenders were surrounded on one side by the sea, and on the other by Hitler's men and machines (who, only the year before, had brought Western Europe to its knees). Tobruk was defended in the main by the Australian 9th Division, followed by the British 70th Infantry Division who then linked up with the advancing 8th Army. The Royal Navy also played an important role in Tobruk's defence. By December 1941 Rommel had been beaten and forced to withdraw his forces from Cyrenaica. The siege was lifted and the exhausted, gallant defenders able to march out in triumph.   First edition softcover published 2009, 310 pages illustrated with black and white photographs. In read but otherwise good condition with minor foxing.

 Boer War: Handwritten Letter with Poems dedicated to Col. Baden-Powell,  by a veteran of the First Boer War of 1881.   This item is an ORIGINAL period piece,  hand written around 1900 - dedicated to praising the exploits of Col. Baden-Powell in his defence of Mafikeng by the besieging Boer forces. The author has penned multiple short poems, in which he promotes Baden-Powell as the epitome of British stoicism in the face of adversity. References are made to the Boer General Cronje, describing him in a non-flattering manner.   Baden-Powell's gallant defence of the town is noted as being worthy of the Victoria Cross as seen fit by an individual who once fought against the Boer forces 20 years prior.   A personalised and reflective item - which captures the essence of British public opinion during 1900, as the course of the conflict was unfolding. This representation of tangible history is ideal for those who wish to own a vestige of Boer War memorabilia that is not readily available.   FOREIGN BIDDERS TO PAY USING BOB BUCKS - QUOTED SHIPPING  NO COLLECTIONS  PAYMENT IN 7 DAYS OR SNC  SEE SHIPPING
