Book Description
Jack had survived great perils as a boy, and more as a guard at Dudley Castle. But the sowrd-wound that he'd sustained rendered him fit only for a desk-job and cooking. Bored with the humdrum work, and dissatisfied with his marriage, he enlists as an archer in King Edward's army. But this time, in addition to the human antagonists, he encounters others from the realms of Magic, Saints and Demons. How will he meet these latest challenges?

King's Counsel: A Memoir of War, Espionage, and Diplomacy in the Middle East
Author: Jack O'Connell
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393088030
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
A CIA station chief, later Jordan's lawyer in Washington, reveals the secret history of a lost peace. Jack O'Connell possessed an uncanny ability to be at the center of things. On his arrival in Jordan in 1958, he unraveled a coup aimed at the young King Hussein, who would become America's most reliable Middle East ally. Over time, their bond of trust and friendship deepened. His narrative contains secrets that will revise our understanding of the Middle East. In 1967, O'Connell tipped off Hussein that Israel would invade Egypt the next morning. Later, as Hussein's Washington counselor, O'Connell learned of Henry Kissinger's surprising role in the Yom Kippur War. The book's leitmotif is betrayal. Hussein, the Middle East's only bona fide peacemaker, wanted simply the return of the West Bank, seized in the Six-Day War. Despite American promises, the clear directive of UN Resolution 242, and the years of secret negotiations with Israel, that never happened. Hussein's dying wish was that O'Connell tell the unknown story in this book.

Jack of All Trades
Author: Peter Inchbald
Publisher: Guy Inchbald
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Born into privilege, Peter Inchbald was an intellectual who spent the latter part of World War II as an Army Captain and the sole white man for miles around in the foothills of the Karakorums and the Himalaya. He became a minor artist of the postwar era before becoming an equally minor industrialist who helped bring modern design to the silverware and cutlery trade. Later in life he published a series of detective stories. There are really three books in here. The first is a personal memoir, the second a family history - an Appendix provides several family trees. The third is a serious record, full of fascinating historical detail. Inchbald wrote his memoir for many kinds of reader, from those who knew him intimately to distant cousins who had never heard of him and people, some not yet born, to whom he is a dim figure from the past.
