Price un-clipped. A collectable first edition. This is another paragraph Product Description: In the late 1980s when she began keeping a diary Edwina Currie was the second most prominent woman in British politics - after Margaret Thatcher. Indeed she was often spoken of as a potential prime minister. Her outspokenness and her lively media-friendly personality won her a much higher profile than her status as a junior minister would otherwise have commanded. When she was forced to resign from the Government after warning of the danger signs of salmonella infection in eggs she was already a national figure. The appearance of these diaries is a significant publishing event. Like Alan Clark's diaries they provide an insight into politics at the top by a writer with an observant eye and a sharp sense of humour.</p> Little, Brown hardcover‎

‎Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Uebersicht des Inhalts -- Während Darius am Euphrat ein Heer sammelte, zog Alexander, der sich bereits die Westküste und den westlichen Theil der Südküste von Kleinasien unterworfen hatte, nach dem Innern desselben, um auch hier seine Herrschaft zu begründen. Demnächst begann der Zug nach dem östlicheren Asien. Alexander verfolgte dabei die gewöhnliche grosse Strasse und gelangte fast ohne Hindernisse nach Tarsus. Hier ward er indess durch einen gefährlichen Krankheitsanfall aufgehalten. Auf die Nachricht davon rückte Darius eiligst heran, um den Feind in dem schwierigen Terrain von Cilicien zu überraschen. Allein er verfehlte seinen Zweck. Denn als er bei Issus in Cilicien eindrang, hatte Alexander, der durch seinen Arzt Philipp schnell wiederhergestellt war, sein Heer bereits durch die schwierigsten Pässe zwischen Cilicien und Syrien hindurchgeführt. So sah sich Darius gezwungen, den Kampf auf einem für ihn höchst ungünstigen Terrain anzunehmen. Als der Ausgang bedenklich zu werden drohte, da floh Darius und vernichtete so selbst jede Hoffnung auf eine glückliche Entscheidung. Alexanders Edelsinn bewährte sich in der Behandlung der Gefangenen, unter denen die nächsten Angehörigen des Darius sich befanden. Eine Folge des Sieges war, dass Damascus mit des Königs Schätzen durch Verrath in Parmenio's Hände fiel. - Curtius verfasste in lateinischer Sprache eine zehn Bücher umfassende ?Geschichte Alexanders des Großen? (Historiae Alexandri Magni Macedonis), von der die ersten beiden Bücher verloren gegangen sind.[11] Teile der Bücher 3, 5, 6 und 10 fehlen ebenfalls. Es ist damit dennoch das einzige umfassendere lateinische Geschichtswerk über Alexander, das mehr oder weniger vollständig überliefert ist. ISBN 9783487060040‎

‎The Invisible Soldier: Captain W.A.P. Durie, His Life and Afterlife‎

‎In November, 1915, a shy, cosseted and rather pompous bank clerk left Canada to fight as a lieutenant on the battlefields of Europe. Despite genteel poverty, his mother had raised him to be the heir to both military greatness and aristocratic splendour. She even followed him to Europe in an attempt to manipulate his destiny. But in the awful killing ground of the Ypres Salient, and subsequently at Vimy and Passchendaele, William Arthur Peel Durie came to understand something of the man he was, instead of the man he was supposed to be. Mother was not pleased. When her son died in the trenches of France, Anna Durie could once again control his fate. Despite the dictates of Britain and the Empire stating that soldiers who fell in the Great War must rest with their comrades, she made up her mind to steal his body from its grave in the military cemetery near Lens and smuggle it home to the Toronto family plot. Veronica Cusack has unearthed a treasure trove of letters, memoirs, and war records and used them to brilliantly recreate a soldier finding himself in battle and a woman driven by her maternal obsession.205p. plates Book‎
