  Sailor Soldier - David Tyndale-Biscoe - 2006 - Paperback in very good, clean and tight condition. Based on Commander Tyndale-Biscoe's diaries, the author, who is related, has written a narrative and also looked into his medals. Tyndale-Biscoe was at the siege of Ladysmith and also a member of the pioneer column. The following is taken from Major Frank Johnson's Book, 'Great Days, the autobiography of an Empire Pioneer,' (p. 152). "I had told Biscoe to take his Naval men and cut the straightest tree he could find, by no means an easy task, when practically the only trees were massasah-growing far from straight. All those present paraded at 10 a.m. on Saturday, September 13, all the land claimed by Lo Bengula as described in the Rhodes-Rudd Concession was annexed to the British Empire. Biscoe then hoisted the Union Jack." Thus it fell to Biscoe to raise the Flag on the site of Salisbury for the first time. Major Frank Johnson was Commander of the Pioneer Column, Frederick Courteney Selous Intelligence Officer to the Pioneer Column, and Lieutenant Edward. C. Tyndale-Biscoe, Naval Brigade, C Troop, Pioneer Column, in charge of the search light and apparatus used to instil awe and wonder into the Matabele.

ABOUT FACE is the extraordinary story of the life of one of America's most unique fighting men. On June 27, 1971, David Hackworth became the US Army's most outspoken critic, denouncing on network television the American war effort in Vietnam as tragically misguided. Hackworth says in About Face that he never would have believed it if someone had told him he would be 'checking out of the Army any way but feet first'. Hackworth's incredible life story has been a consistent bestseller for over six years in the US. It is a remarkable account of a man whose unmatched battlefield achievements have made him a living legend. But the medals and accolades did not counter his growing disillusionment with the Vietnam War, which he came to see as immoral and unwinnable. Finally, ABOUT FACE is a stunning indictment, not just of the Pentagon's fundamental misunderstanding of the Vietnam conflict, but of the bureaucracy and self-interest that fueled that lost war.  

Springboks, Troepies and Cadres tells the story of the SA army in telling the stories of the men who shaped it. A divergent group of soldiers, from general officers to ordinary foot soldiers, tells of the tragedies and triumphs of the battles they took part in. Their first-hand accounts vividly bring home the realities of being a soldier, while some of the officers divulge and discuss military strategy. Softcover. English. Tafelberg. 2012.

No soldier is courageous enough to take on the task, at least not until little David walks onto the scene. David stoops down and gathers five smooth stones and stands in Faith to fight the giant! Meanwhile, at the feet of the humans, another huge drama unfolds as Buggelsville, the tiny bug town, is threatened with total destruction from the cracked and leaking water dam. Spud, the potato-bug civil engineer, has figured out a way for someone to plug up the hole before the dam breaks but who will be brave enough to try? Can Megan, the town's school-teacher ant, gather enough courage to accomplish the job? "A Giant Problem" teaches the importance of courage and faith.   Starring: Animation   Category: Animation, Biblical   Age Restriction: ALL AGES
