Book Description
“After the peace treaty was signed at Armistice Hall, several groups were formed to take care of the restless situation in Korea. One of the teams was the Custodian Force, of which, I was fortunately part of! When I boarded the special train to Madras with my fellow members, there were already thirty cameramen eager to cover the news at the station. The civilians assembled with flags and shouted ‘Jai Hind!’ When I was posted in Vietnam, I had to go to the China Border to give a surprise visit to make sure that no weapons were being smuggled from China to North Vietnam. By the end of 1987, I had explored so many new and charismatic places in my own country. But while we were in Fatehpur Sikri, the only thought that daunted me in the evening was – Will we see the next day? Is this the end of us? Then again in 1998, I got bored of my hometown and decided to explore another new state to quench my wander thirst.” The facts in this book are of noted & ordinary citizens who have unleashed the spirit within, with extraordinary consequences, radically changing society for the better. Their ideas for action and their stories will inspire all at a profound level. This book uncovers some powerful notes/discoveries. This book also gives us some important advice as well as boosts us. This is not only a light book, but a book that encourages others also.

Mysterious, funny, insightful, and heartbreaking, these are tales of expatriates and exiles, wise children and straying saints. Together they compose a secret history, at once intimate and panoramic, of modern times.

Book Description
Regarded as one of the most outstanding commanding officers on the Western Front, Wilfrid Abel Smith commanded an elite unit of 1,000 of the finest soldiers in the British Army. Educated at Eton and Sandhurst, Smith was a career soldier who led his battalion of Grenadiers with distinction through the First Battle of Ypres and the winter trench warfare of 1914–15. He died of wounds received at the Battle of Festubert in May 1915.The letters and diaries provide a vivid, first-hand account of the fighting and suffering on the front line, written by a compassionate commander and affectionate family man. Most of his brother officers were Old Etonians, including his brigade commander, Lord Cavan, and his second-in-command, George ‘Ma’ Jeffreys. Smith’s account offers a poignant insight into the way in which the privileged world of a Guards officer responded, with the highest sense of duty and courage, to the unprecedented demands of industrial warfare.From Eton to Ypres is edited by his great-grandson, Charles Abel Smith.

Book Description
When war broke out in 1914 there was a widespread sense of optimism among the British public. Fired by patriotic fervour and pride in their nation, many were convinced that &‘it would all be over by Christmas' and young men rushed to join the army and share in the &‘honour and glory' of war. These illusions were swiftly lost as a war of attrition developed; advances on both sides were small and casualties high. Even with this background, the slaughter on 1 July 1916 of thousands of British soldiers, who went over the top to their deaths on the Somme, shocked a world increasingly conditioned to the realities of armed conflict. Nick Thornicroft delves into the heart of the British Army on the blackest day in its history and gives a vivid portrayal of Gloucestershire soldiers in the heat of battle; these ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances, fighting with incredible bravery for their country's future.Through assiduous research and compassion for his subject, Nick Thornicroft has woven the experiences of Gloucestershire and North Bristol's soldiers into the wider military story, and in doing so brings a human aspect to one of the most inhuman battles in history. The author has also written about the Somme experiences of other men from the South West in his book Cornwall's Fallen: The Road to the Somme, also available from The History Press (ISBN 978 0 7524 4528 1).

Book Description
A generation raised on the British Empire confronted the unexpected horrors of modern war. Never were a nation's expectations so different from the coming clash of the First World War. Expecting a vigorous romp to victory, soldiers endured a brutal quagmire. Presenting letters & diaries of soldiers themselves, many unseen for nearly a hundred years, Smith allows men from Field Marshall "Douggy" Haig to plain Private Smith to have a clear voice. With enough narrative to recall how the Great War unfolded, a wealth of vivid detail brings the miserable life in the trenches back to life. What began with high hopes and horses ended with disillusion and tanks. From the build up at the beginning of the war until the immediate post-war reduction, Letters from the Front: Letters and Diaries from the BEF in Flanders and France 1914-1918 is enlivened with fascinating details and makes a moving, entertaining and informative read.
