Book Description
During its seventy-one years of existence, the 17th/21st Lancers became one of the best known British cavalry regiments of all time. Beloved by the Press as the 'Death or Glory Boys', their renowned skull and crossbones 'Motto', was one of the most recognised cap badges of the British Army. This volume, written by a former member of the Regiment, tells their complete story for the first time; much of which is in the words of those who served. The Regiment's role during the Second World War---on the Home Front, in North Africa and Italy; Austria; Greece, and Palestine in the aftermath of the war; its four years of service in Northern Ireland at the height of the 'Troubles'; and the Gulf War, where one of its crews achieved the longest ever direct-fire tank kill, are all covered in considerable detail. Personal accounts add colour to descriptions of routine life for a cavalry regiment in Egypt and India; and an armoured regiment during the Cold War, serving in Germany, Hong Kong, Libya, Yemen and Belize. Eleven sketch maps and 128 photographs illustrate the text. Appendices include, a definitive Roll of Honour; all Commanding Officers, Colonels of the Regiment and RSMs.

Book Description
The epic story of how the Second World War was won. On 4 January 1945, General ‘Blood and Guts’ Patton confided gloomily to his diary, ‘We can still lose the war.’ The Nazis were attacking in Eastern France, Luxembourg and Belgium. General Eisenhower’s allied armies had lost over 300,000 men in battle (with a similar number of non-battle casualties) and they were still in the same positions they had first captured three months before. Would the German will to resist never be broken? Veteran military historian Charles Whiting assembled individual stories from the frontline as the war entered its last bloody, but ultimately victorious phase. From material such as diaries, interviews and battalion journals he vividly builds up a picture of the soldiers and combatants. As the greatest conflict of them all came to its epic crescendo, those on the ground knew that paths that lead to glory could also lead to death... Perfect for fans of Anthony Beevor, Richard Overy and Damien Lewis.

Book Description
An ungodly quest spawned deep in the Caves of Medmenham in the 18C. - A marriage of Dionysian Dismemberment cults and German Supremist philosophy in emerging 20C offers mass sacrifice on Flanders Killing Fields and by Nazi atrocities to invoke the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to invoke prophesies of the Book of Revelations, The Rapture-The Tribulation-The End Time; create a New World Order ruled over by 'The New Man', the Anti-Christ. A reformed occult sect, Hindenburg Society led by the 'Chosen Man', an octogenarian multi-media mogul planning his Great End Plan. A global descent into the black chaos of extreme terrorism that threatens Third World War, Britain gripped in mass public riots and disorder. Two brothers branded by a family shame, a Great War veteran witness to the Angel of Mons, and an enigmatic investigative journalist with a secret agenda launch a desperate, violent confrontation with the End Timers and the ultimate atrocity, 'HELLFIRE'.
