The twentieth century saw two world wars & many other conflicts characterised by technological change & severity of casualties. Medicine has adapted quickly to deal with such challenges & new medical innovations in the military field have had advantages in civil medicine. There has thus been interplay between war & medicine that has not only been confined to the armed forces & military medicine, but which has impacted on health & medicine for us all. These themes will be examined from the Boer War to the dawn of a new century, & a 'war against terror;' the experiences of individuals as doctors, nurses & patients, are highlighted, with personal, sometimes graphic, first-hand accounts bringing home the realities of medical treatment in wartime. ...

Long before Rodney Marsh, or Derek Dougan, Tim Coleman invented football's awkward squad. At the beginning of the twentieth century footballers were poorly paid wage slaves to the stern club owners. But Coleman led the first players' strike. He was a joker, a card
- perhaps also the first ever media-literate footballer who knew the importance of a sparky"e in the right place
- but he would not be taken advantage of. He stood up for himself, & for others. Then, in 1914, playing for Nottingham Forest after successful spells with Arsenal & Everton, he joined up with the Footballers' Battalion, & found himself on the Western Front in the run-up to the Somme. There he won the Military Medal for bravery. But he also participated in some of the most remarkable football matches ever played, when, scratch teams played on improvised pitches & contested the Army Cup
- right alongside the trenches & shell holes of the front line. In later life he quietly sank into obscurity, cleaning windows in Kent, his illustrious past unknown to those around him. This is the first biography of one of British football's most remarkable figures: a virtually unknown individual who nevertheless achieved things beyond the experience & the character of most players. This is the story of a forgotten sporting hero to follow up Aurum's successful All-Round Genius. This is the remarkable story of those who played football on the Western Front. It is a contender for the 2009 William Hill. It is about one of Arsenal's earliest heroes.

In February 2015, Tim Locks headed to Kurdistan to fight ISIS. After watching images of the Yazidi people being slaughtered, he couldnt sit back & do nothing. Having worked as a prison officer & a bouncer, he knew how to handle himself
- & had a huge protective streak. He sold his house to raise money, put himself through arms training & bought his equipment on e Bay.

In this gripping book he reveals what it is like to fight alongside the Kurds as well as British & American ex-military. He has cleared the enemy from occupied villages, come under mortar & small-arms fire, & witnessed the horrific atrocities committed by ISIS. He also describes how Wi Fi on the front line allows todays soldiers to communicate, how they always find time for selfies, even when under attack, & how the Kurds are so used to this way of life they stop mid-firefight to have a cup of chai & play Candy Crush while manning the mortars.

As cultures clash, & the bullets start flying, Tim shares his adventures with honesty & black humour.

Product Description

The German war in Russia was so brutal in all its extremes that all past experiences paled beside it.

Everything in Russia
- the l&, the climate, the distances & above all the people
- were harder, harsher, more unforgiving & more deadly than anything the German soldier had ever faced before.

One panzer-grenadier who fought in the West & in Russia summed it up: ‘ In the West war was the same honourable old game; nobody went out of his way to be vicious, & fighting stopped often by five in the afternoon. But in the East, the Russians were trying to kill you
- all the time.’

The four detailed reports of campaigning in Russia included in this invaluable book (Russian Combat Methods in WWII, Effects of Climate on Combat in European Russia, Combat in Russian Forests & Swamps & Warfare in the Far North) were written in the late 1940s & early 1950s, as part of the US Army programme to record the German strategies & tactics of World War II directly from the commanders.
