‎Arnold-Forster, Mark‎

‎World at War The‎

‎Glasgow: Fontana/Collins 1974. Remainder Mark; Light Creasing on Front Rear Covers; Front Rear Covers Spine Lightly Chipped; Slight Yellowing Due to Age. SYNOPSIS: "For it is evil things that we shall be fighting against brute force bad faith injustice oppression and persecution. And against these I am certain that the right will prevail." With these words Prime Minster Chamberlain ended his fateful broadcast to the nation on the morning of Sunday 3 September 1939. Britain was at war with Germany in a struggle that was to become truly global. From Russia to North Africa from the Pacific to the Atlantic the battles were fought and the terrible casualties inflicted: 20 million Russians 5-1/2 million Jews 405000 Americans 357000 British - including 60000 civilians. In The World at War - now the subject of a major TV series - Mark Arnold-Forster describes the strategies campaigns and offensives on land sea and in the air that finally brought the Axis powers to defeat. Drawing on Cabinet minutes official histories personal interviews and his own knowledge of war as a motor torpedo boat commander he has produced what will become the outstanding concise history of the years 1939-45. The book includes a twenty-two page Chronology of the War Biographical Notes on the principal commanders and politicians and detailed maps of the major campaigns and battles. Mark Arnold-Forster was born in 1920 and is therefore just old enough to have served throughout World War II first as a merchant seaman and then in the Royal Navy. He spent most of the war in command of motor torpedo boats and of MTB flotillas based at Dover attacking German coastal convoys and minelaying in the continental estuaries. He was awarded the DSO the DSC was three times mentioned in despatches and was demobilized as a reserve Lieutenant in 1946. As a newspaperman he was blockaded in Berlin in 1948 and has reported on post-war Europe. He is now chief editorial writer on The Guardian. First Thus 1st Printing. Mass Market Paperback. Fine. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Remainder. Fontana/Collins Paperback‎

‎Osmont, Marie-Louise‎

‎Normandy Diary of Marie-Louise Osmont: 1940-1944 The‎

‎New York: Random House Inc./The Discovery Channel Press 1994. BOOK: Spine Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards. DUST JACKET: Lightly Creased; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. INTRODUCTION BY: John Keegan. FOREWORD BY: Rebecca Farwell. TRANSLATED BY: George L. Newman. ILLUSTRATIONS AND MAPS BY: Gerald Quinn. TV TIE-IN: This book was the centerpiece of the 1994 Made-for-Television documentary on The Discovery Channel entitled Normandy: The Great Crusade. SYNOPSIS: The diary of Marie-Louise Osmont was discovered and preserved by the city of Caen and the Memorial Caen Normandie. In this extraordinary diary Marie-Louise Osmont describes in riveting detail what life was like from the moment six German soldiers arrived at the door of her chateau in 1940 through the occupation of her home and country by both Axis and Allied troops. She shows us what the occupation and invasion of Normandy was like for those whose homeland became a momentous battlefield that changed the course of World War II. With gripping immediacy Madame Osmont chronicles the horror and banality of war acted out against the background of everyday rural life. Terrifying midnight raids are followed by mornings of radiant beauty; the agony of a shrapnel wound is contrasted with the sheer luxury of a warm bath; the scent of rose bushes on a summer evening gives way to the acrid stench of anti-aircraft guns; battle-hardened soldiers show her photographs of their children and weep. Unearthed by a film producer in search of a voice representing the French civilians who lived through the Allied invasion Madame Osmont's diary - the centerpiece of a documentary on The Discovery Channel - is a powerful and moving contribution to the history of this century. Marie-Louise Osmont was born in Paris in 1890. After serving as a nurse and ambulance driver in World War I she moved to her husband's Normandy village of Periers. Her husband a surgeon died in 1937 after which Madame Osmont lived alone in Chateau Periers. In 1940 her home was occupied first by German troops and later after the Allied invasion by the British. Thus throughout the war she shared her chateau with foreign armies defending her home one tiny part of France. John Keegan was for many years senior lecturer in military history at the Royal Military Academy in England and is now the defense editor of The Daily Telegraph. He is the author of many books including The Face of Battle and The History of Warfare which won the prestigious Duff Cooper Prize. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
