The extraordinary story of the deserters of the Second World War. What made them run? & what happened after they fled? During the Second World War, the British lost 100, 000 troops to desertion, & the Americans 40, 000. Commonwealth forces from Canada, Australia, New Zeal&, South Africa & Britain's colonial empire also left the ranks in their thousands. The overwhelming majority of deserters from all armies were front-line infantry troops; without them, the war was harder to win. Many of these men were captured & court martialled, while others were never apprehended. Some remain wanted to this day. Why did these men decide to flee their ranks? In ' Deserter', veteran reporter & historian Charles Glass follows a group of British & American deserters into the heat of battle & explores what motivated them to take their fateful decision to run away. The result is a highly emotional & engaging study of an under-explored area of World War II history. ...

This is a unique moment for British design. The generation which shaped the emergence of design in the post war years, from Robin Day & Kenneth Grange to Terence Conran, is still active at the same time as young designers born half a century later are coming to prominence with innovative explorations of the implications for design of a very different technological & social climate. Design in Britain discusses the major figures that have led the way & those who have turned it on its head. Divided by subject matter, chapters include: Architecture
- how the shape of commercial rebuilding has evolved in Britain; Identity
- how the logos & marks measure out the history of Britain; After the Object
- the web-based expansion of the definition of what constitutes design; Fashion
- a measured account of the ideas & the reality behind British fashion; Graphic Design
- an account of the successive creative waves of graphic design in Britain; Furniture Design
- a view of what it is that has made British design special from the outside; Industrial Design
- a critical response to the interaction between design in the commercial sense, & in the cultural sphere, &, Car Design
- how Britain is building more cars than ever, but in foreign owned factories. With each chapter written by an international expert in that field, this really is the most comprehensive account of what it is that has given Britain a special place in design.
