Loomis, Stanley
A Crime of Passion
New York: Avon 1973 Book. Fine. Pbk. 1st Pbk Edition. The true story of the murder of the Duchess de Praslin in 1847 a blood thirsty and scandalous crime that rocked Paris. In the grey dawn of August 18 the Duc de Praslin bloodily murdered his Duchesse in her father's Paris 'hotel particulier'. The crime was premeditated but stupidly executed. A Paris policeman viewing the murder scene said : "This was not the work of a professional; this was the act of a gentleman." This crime - one of the events which sparked the revolution of 1848 - has been the subject of novels and articles ever since. But for half a century no-one seemed to have studied thoroughly the actual evidence and letters in the French Archives; the author was the first. We know what happened. The bloody reticule the battered candlestick the knife the rope the Duc's stained 'robe de chambre' are all visible evidence still in the Archives if one is permitted to see them. Now we can at least give an educated guess at a conundrum which has fascinated writers dramatists lawyers and laymen for more than a century. 303p. bibliography index Crisp unmarked copy.

Crowdy, Terry
French Resistance Fighter: France's Secret Army Warrior
London: Osprey Publishing 2007 Book. New. Soft cover. Osprey's study of French Resistance fighters of World War II 1939-1945. Working as an underground force the French Resistance was initially formed spontaneously from scattered groups of men and women inspired by the leadership of men like Charles de Gaulle. As the war progressed the Resistance developed into a secret army terrorizing the forces of occupation and would-be collaborators alike despite being excluded from the protection of the Geneva Convention which left them facing torture and execution if captured. Striking photographs coupled with first-hand accounts of capture and its terrible consequences depict an engaging and human history of the French Resistance fighter. Terry Crowdy details the military achievements tactics backgrounds and motivations of the men and women of the Resistance whose actions helped to ensure the success of the D-Day landings and the liberation of France. 64p. illus index.

MacKay Donald
Flight from Famine: The Coming of the Irish to Canada
Toronto: Natural Heritage /Dundurn Press 2009 Book. New. Trade Paperback. 2nd Edition. One of Canada's founding peoples the Irish arrived in the Newfoundland fishing stations as early as the seventeenth century. By the eighteenth century they were establishing farms and settlements from Nova Scotia to the Great Lakes. Then in the 1840s came the failures of Ireland's potato crop which people in the west of Ireland had depended on for survival. "And that" wrote a Sligo countryman "was the beginning of the great trouble and famine that destroyed Ireland." Flight from Famine is the moving account of a Victorian-era tragedy that has echoes in our own time but seems hardly credible in the light of Ireland's modern prosperity. The famine survivors who helped build Canada in the years that followed Black '47 provide a testament to courage resilience and perseverance. By the time of Confederation the Irish population of Canada was second only to the French and four million Canadians can claim proud Irish descent 367p.illus maps. bibliography.index.
