- hold on a minute
- that's not a simple idea at all. & when you throw in incompetent airline officials amorous Argentine Colonels' wives cunning Bajan drug dealers gay Australian waiters overzealous American anti-terrorist police idiot Welshmen dressed as Santa Claus Archbishop Desmond Tutu & whole armies of pitch-invading Antarctic penguins you quickly arrive at a whole lot more than you bargained for. Harry Thompson's hilarious book tells the story of one of those great idiotic enterprises that only an Englishman could have dreamed up & only a bunch of Englishmen could possibly have wished to carry out.

Peninsular War Atlas
£28.80
The Peninsular War saw some of the bloodiest fighting of the Napoleonic Wars. Despite the exposure given this theatre the soldiers who fought there have received little public recognition. The bicentennial commemorations of this war aim to bring the war to wider recognition bringing the Spanish Portuguese & British together in remembering the dead & re-examining the war in a balanced way. This atlas has been put together over the last decade by Colonel Nick Lipscombe of the British Army who is based in Spain & is the chairman for the official organisation in charge of the commemorations. His 30 years of military service have allowed him to bring a unique perspective to this first complete atlas of the war. The mapping is of very high standard & he has re-evaluated several battles in collaboration with Spanish authorities & academics & presents new interpretations of the sources. The 160 maps are accompanied by a text narrating the entire war. This title is a must for anyone interested in Napoleonic history. ...
