  On 24 August 1916, a young subaltern, Havillard Le Mesurier, was killed on the Somme, whilst leading his platoon into action. He was 22 years old and an Oxford scholar with a promising future, evidenced by his prolific output of essays and letters from the trenches. He wrote with insight and an understanding of the human condition, which belied his years. He left a legacy that is as relevant now as it was in the beginning of the last century. Letters From France uses letters and essays as a pivotal commentary to the historical events, from the assassination in Sarajevo, through the fateful Battle of the Somme some two years later.Besides the essential writings of Havilland Le Mesurier, this DVD also benefits from unique original and comprehensive archive material and the result is an emotive, yet factual, account of a war which, in so many ways, is representative of man’s conflict throughout history.

  Classic Commercial Vehicles - TrucksThe world is developing rapidly every day leading to major changes throughout the world. For almost 100 years the UK's road networks was buzzing with the sounds of haulage and delivery vehicles that were almost exclusively made up of trucks built on home soil. From the emergence of trucks in the 1920's right through to the 1960's British truck manufacturers became renowned across the world for their production of reliable workaday Lorries and for their quality engineering. The likes of Albion Commer Foden and Scammell would become household names which greatly contributed to the economic growth as well as playing major roles in time of conflict especially during the two World Wars. However in the 21st century a truck that is proudly carrying the badge of a British company is not often seen and it is even rarer to see one made on British soil only the very few such as the Leyland and Dennis has survived. Little Book Of Trucks (128 Pages)For almost a century the United Kingdom's road network rumbled to the sound of haulage and delivery vehicles almost exclusively made up of trucks built on home soil. From the 1920s right through to the 1960s British manufacturers became renowned the world over for their production of reliable workaday Lorries and quite rightly earned a reputation for quality engineering. The likes of Albion Commer Foden and Scammell would eventually become household names yet in the 21st Century a truck proudly carrying the badge of a British company is seldom seen and furthermore it is even rarer to find one that has actually been built in this country. Once the domain of the Atkinson Bedford and ERF today's highways and byways are plied by MANs DAFs and Ivecos. Richly illustrated with over 100 previously unpublished images the Little Book of Trucks charts the history of the King of the Road from the humble steam wagon to giant diesel-powered juggernauts.

Ultimate guide to Scooters celebrates the passion and enjoyment that has created a way of life and has secured the scooter's survival on our roads and in our hearts. This will quickly become 'your ultimate guide'! Little Book Of Scooters (128 Pages)The scooter can trace its origins right back to the late-19th Century when vehicle invention and experimentation was still in its infancy. But early step through motorised two-wheelers were already finding favour with buyers over the relatively heavier and more cumbersome motorcycle. Throughout the 1920s many firms were founded to build these lightweight machines but it was not until the 1950s that the scooter as we know it today had become an established cheap-to buy cheap-to-run mode of transport. In the following decade the scooter was an intrinsic part of a youth movement that encompassed a quite separate genre of music unique fashion and a social lifestyle adopted by a large sector of Britain's young adults. Whilst Lambretta and Vespa are now household names long forgotten makes such as Alwin James Kenilworth and Salsbury have all helped to chart the development of this often disparaged slice of motoring history and an iconic era in British popular culture.

  Steam Classics Flying Scotsman'Flying Scotsman' is known as the most famous steam locomotive in the world. There are few people have not heard of this magnificent machine but far fewer know the complicated story of how 'Flying Scotsman' became a National Treasure. Illustrated by evocative footage of the engine working on the British railway network in various guises this programme traces the story from the time when the locomotive returned from Australia after achieving its most recent record - the world's longest non-stop run behind steam - up to its acquisition by the nation and the National Railway Museum at York. In this programme we see 'Flying Scotsman' with single and double-chimney fittings 'German' smoke deflectors and LNER Apple Greene and British Railways' Brunswick Green liveries working from Carnforth in the North to Salisbury in the South as well as on the 'Ride the Legend' excursions to Scarborough. Little Book Of Steam Classics (128 Pages)Presented in chronological order the last locomotive class featured in this volume of 60 classic engines is the British Railways standard 2-10-0 9F freight class which included Evening Star the last steam locomotive built by British Railways. Withdrawn in 1965 Evening Star had a very short working life in common with most of the other standard classes included in the 15 000 engines scrapped by British Railways in the decade up to 1968. As a tribute to the success of that preservation industry representatives of virtually all the 60 engines included in this book can still be seen whether working on heritage railways as static exhibits in museums or even running on mainline specials. A chronological record the engines featured in this book are important for either technological innovation or else simple workmanlike efficiency such as the ubiquitous 0-6-0 freight engines built in their thousands and confirming their durability by remaining in service for 50 60 or even in some cases 70 years.

• The JFK Conspiracies DVD/Book Gift Set | DVD | (14/10/2013) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  THE JFK ASSASSINATION: Amazing archive footage brings to life the brilliant iconic American President whose ideals, actions and accessibility stand in stark contrast to recent administrations. In this engaging documentary, with insight and erudition, we trace JFK's early political career, candidacy, presidency, and examine his enduring popularity. With JFK candidacy, presidency and Kennedy era footage we authentically retell the events and circumstances in the lead up to the assassination on that fateful November day in 1963. THE KENNEDY CURSE: The Kennedy family is one of the most famous families in the world, but their history has been plagued by tragedies commonly known as The Kennedy Curse. But for all of the family's wealth, power and influence over the United States of America and the world, they have suffered through some of the greatest personal and public tragedies. THE LITTLE BOOK OF JFK CONSPIRACIES: The assassination of John F Kennedy is one of the defining moments of the 1960s, and one of the most shocking events of modern times. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested shortly after the assassination for the murder of a policeman, but he too was killed before he could be brought to trial. The murder, committed on live television while Oswald was being transferred to jail, was carried out by part-time criminal and nightclub owner Jack Ruby. Was he acting on behalf of the mob to silence Oswald? This book, which includes quality black and white photographs of the assassination, investigates and analyses the pertinent conspiracy theories to decide once and for all if Oswald was involved, whether he was a lone gunman, or if there were other assassins in Dealey Plaza in November 1963.

• Story of Enigma | DVD | (14/09/2015) from £9.98   |  Saving you £3.02 (23.20%)   |  RRP £13.00

  The Story of Enigma: The story of the Enigma began in the 1920s when German military began using the machine, developed for the business market, to communicate in unintelligible coded messages. It worked by allowing its operator to type a message and then scramble it. During WWII, the Nazis believed its secret codes for radio messages were indecipherable to the Allies so they used the machine for battlefield, naval and diplomatic communications. It was during the 1940 Norwegian campaign that the painstaking work of code breakers cracked the code. Their work began to pay off in 1941 when they were able to gather evidence of planned invasions of Greece. This is the story of how the meticulous work of code breakers based at Britain s Bletchley Park cracked the secrets of German wartime communication and played a crucial role in the final defeat of Germany.
