Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. Numerous photographs, maps. 183 pages. This book is a remarkable example of what can be achieved when two very different kinds of creative talent are set to work on the same important task. In this case, to record the astonishing sequence of events leading up to Germany's attack on France in May 1940, and the no less astonishing conquest that followed. Looking back after 50 years, it is now clear that Hitler's triumph must stand as one of the most important and far-reaching military victories in the whole of Europe's long history. Lt Col George Forty, a professional soldier now retired, is a military historian of considerable stature, an indefatigable researcher and a man who has the soldier's distrust of rhetoric and analysis.

Oxford: Blackwell. Good. 1947. First Edition. Hard Cover. 8vo Remains of dust jacket. Blue cloth gilt lettering on spine. Water damage to cover. 184 pages clean and tight. In this commentary, First Peter is treated as a post-Apostolic work composed by a leader of the church in Asia Minor about the beginning of the second century. It is interpreted on the basis of the theory (advocated by the late Canon Streeter and others) that it is a composite work: a Baptismal Discourse (1:3 to 4:11), which has for its primary theme the nature of the Christian life as lived in the midst of a pagan society, is incorporated in a brief circular letter addressed to the Asian churches at the outbreak of a fearful persecution-probably the persecution which began in Bithynia and Pontus when Pliny was sent out by Trajan as governor of that province. The Introduction deals chiefly with the historical setting and literary relationships of the Epistle, and with the theology of its author. The commentary, though… Read More

The Chichester Festival Theatre, the first major British theatre to have a thrust stage, is still one of the most exciting theatrical spaces in the country. Since it opened in 1962, we have forgotten how difficult it was first of all to bring it into existence, and then to keep it alive - the hostility and criticism which it endured have largely been lost in the delight of the millions who have visited it. Other theatres have been built without a proscenium, but none of them have come to be so important in our theatrical life, with large audiences sitting in close and intimate circles about the performances of our finest actors, in productions by our best directors. Ronald Hayman tells the story of how an unconventional theatre - the dream of one… Read More
