Hereward
Stroud United Kingdom: Alan Sutton Publishing 1995. Book has 182 pages with illustrations. In the year 1070 four years after the Battle of Hastings Saxon England lay prostrate under the heel of William the Conqueror. In the enveloping gloom of Norman oppression only one last centre of resistance remained - the Isle of Ely in the Fens of East Anglia. From this refuge emerged a leader destined to struggle against enormous odds in his defiance of Norman attacks; a man whose achievements cast him in the heroic mould yet whose very existence remains a mystery. Much has been written about Hereward as a character of fiction or myth but few attempts have been made to delve beneath the legend and discover why an apparently obscure Saxon thane became the embodiment of resistance to the Norman invader. This book attempts to fill the gaps and brings Hereward out of shadowy legend into the light of reality. It presents the evidence in a clear and concise manner discusses the various versions and interpretations of his story and explains the enduring fascination that made Hereward the progenitor of Robin Hood and a figure of significance to literature and folklore. The tale of Hereward and his descendants is woven so firmly into the story of England that it brings together characters as disparate as the Conqueror himself Lady Godiva the Black Prince and the Fair Maid of Kent. Intriguingly one genealogist carries the Hereward story across the Atlantic to Massachusetts where a supposed descendant John Harvard of Southwark settled in the seventeenth century and there founded Harvard University. .

The violent disintegration of the former Yugoslavia and the war in Kosovo have highlighted the importance of a detailed understanding of the Balkan region. The political outlook and behavior of the Serbs and Serbian elites has been particularly bewildering to Western citizens and decision-makers. This book provides an analysis of Serbian politics from 1987 to 2000 that centers on an examination of Slobodan Milosevic's rise to power and his pattern of rule up to and including the recent war in Kosovo. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Westview Press hardcover

New York: St Martins 1964. 242 pages. illus maps bibliog index. On hearing the news of Napoleon's abdication in April 1814 an Englishwoman wrote in her journal: "I can scarce believe it possible that we are going to have peace and quiet and an end to Bonaparte's horrors and dominion. I dread his starting up again." But one year from that date saw Napoleon in supreme control the Bourbon princelings humiliated and dethroned and large and powerful armies at his command. For us knowing the end of the story on the field of Waterloo it is difficult to recapture the atmosphere of tension terror elation and despair which prevailed at that time in Europe. . First Edition.

Mythic Ireland
United Kingdom: Thames & Hudson 1992. 272 pages 152 Illustrations. The age of the myth lives on in Ireland - in folk tales and literature in place-names and language in ceremonies and monuments. This work explores Ireland's four provinces to discover the places at the root of Irish myth and legend. Focal mythic sites such as St Patrick's Purgatory in Ulster Loster Gur in Munster and Dublin in Leinster are described in detail. Finally Ireland is surveyed from a fifth province "Mide" where the entire island is seen to be held in a web of pre-historic sites aligned with solar-lunar events. Ireland's sacred locations take on contemporary relevance as the book shows that the underlying concerns of myth - conservation and recurrence - are increasingly present concerns. First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Thames & Hudson hardcover
