London: Hodder and Stoughton, 2003. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First edition, first impression. xiv + 322 pages. 47 illustrations. In this searching and intimate autobiography, Joan Bakewell retraces the paths she has taken and reveals what lay behind the public image and the choices she made. Recreating her working-class roots, she vividly depicts her childhood in Stockport and the impact of the war, and relives her escape from the tensions at home to Cambridge University, where she was part of the stellar generation that included Peter Hall, Frederic Raphael and Claire Tomalin. She describes what it was like to make her BBC television debut during the Cuban missile crisis; to be the only woman on 'Late Night Line Up', with its eclectic roster of guests; and to be dubbed 'the thinking man's crumpet'. Here, too, is how it felt to see her affair with Harold Pinter transmuted into his play 'Betrayal'. B2D. First Edition.… Read More

London: Grafton Books, 1986. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a few marks to top edge) with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. xix + 588 pages. 64 illustrations. Throughout the Second World War and the Cold War which followed, Britain's Secret Service was compromised by a group of privileged, Cambridge-educated Englishmen who consistently betrayed their country by working for Stalin's Russia. Two Sunday Times writers have investigated the astonishing story of Anthony Blunt and his accomplices, who included Burgess, Maclean and Philby. Their book shows how deeply the Blunt network penetrated the British Establishment on behalf of the Russians. Anthony Blunt, Keeper of the Queen's Pictures, friend of the royal family, Director of the Courtauld Institute of Art, was born in Bournemouth in 1907, the son of an Anglican clergyman. This solid middle-class background made him an unlikely agent, but at Cambridge, after meeting Guy Burges, a fellow member of the Apostles… Read More

Arriving in the Congo in 1953, Dr. Helen Roseveare started her own hospital and medical centre from a disused leper colony, and set up clinics in lonely villages. During the crises in 1960 and 1964, she refused to leave the country, although many of her friends and colleagues had been brutally slaughtered. The most astounding part of her story is that, having endured terror, humiliation, rape and split-second escape from death, she would , after a few months back home in England, choose to return to resume her work in the Congo. Today, the central station she founded, with its flying doctors, teaching school and operating theatres, is unique in Africa. **** NOT EX LIB **** 21. First Edition. Hard Cover.

Lewes, East Sussex: The Book Guild, 1991. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. The author was born in Danzig, where he practised as a barrister until Nazi persecution forced him to flee to England, arriving three weeks before the outbreak of war, where eventually he was released from internment and entered the catering business, rising to managerial status in the Grand Metropolitan chain. This biography tells of his marriage of convenience so that he can find domestic employment and his subsequent internment on the Isle of Man hastens the arrangement's failure and he begins to work towards a reunion with his wife and son, the family from whom the political situation in Germany had imposed his divorce. From his earliest days as a boy soldier at the end of the First World War to the present, life's harshest experiences have not daunted his stoical acceptance of hardship and his story is told with uncompromising honesty and fortitude. 3.
