THE SMOKE AND THE FIRE
by John Terraine

Myths of warfare, 1861-1945. Terraine looks at the Tank in WWI, British Generals of WWI, The Angel of Mons, and the myths of the American Civil War. The author argues that the truth can only be approached by looking at that war in the light of others which resemble it. This is an attempt to push aside the mythology surrounding warfare.

A VOICE FROM THE CHORUS
by Abram Tertz

Based on the letters of Andrey Sinyavsky written under his pen name to his wife. They were written during his imprisonment in a Soviet Forced Labour camp between 1966 and 1971. Because of the strict censorship on what prisoners were allowed to write the letters contain only oblique references to the conditions in the camp, instead we follow the authors inner thoughts and reflections on a wide range of topics in miniature essays from such things as Russian icons, the Russian Criminal world, Byzantine Enmperors and the writings of Swift and Defoe amongst many others.
