In the summer of 1940 the Germans prepared to launch Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of England. The British, barely recovered from Dunkirk, rallied their defenses.

Both sides operated in great secrecy and, because the invasion never took place, the dramatic preparations for what would have been one of the watershed battles of history faded from memory.

Not, however, before Peter Fleming rescued this fascinating story from military archives and the recollections of survivors who were involved.

!1: Best Buy Ian Fleming's brother Peter wrote this charming account of German amphibious invasion plans after Dunkirk, and Britain's plans to repel any invasion they might try. Fleming was peripherally involved in these plans, having been assigned during the dangerous post-Dunkirk period to preparing to wage guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines if the Boche took the beaches and moved inland, but this book is not a personal account but a broad history of the political, military, and psychological factors that went into invasion preparations on both sides, and the final German decision to back off.

Contrary to other reviews, this is not a book about the Battle of Britain. In Fleming's chapter on the Battle of Britain, he notes that the subject is covered extensively elsewhere and he only gives it attention as it relates to the Germans' plans for what they'd do after they won that battle, and on why they decided not to invade. It's more about what might have happened than about what did happen.

Fleming's favorite themes are the indomitability of the English mood at the time (which he amusedly puts down as much to cultural momentum as to courage) and Hitler's fatal misjudgment of it. He makes a convincing case that Hitler put off invading because he thought, wildly incorrectly, that the British were terrified and on the verge of making terms. He also persuasively posits that it was ironically good for the Reich that Hitler hesitated to implement Operation Sea Lion, because the invasion plan was doomed to fail. But Fleming's theses aside, this book is best read for his evocative and witty description of Britain's national mood between Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain -- a mood he underlines with illustrations drawn from the cartoons in contemporary Punch magazines. You can't help but respect the British and envy their courage after reading this entertaining book. on Sale!

±1±: Best Buy My great grandparents, whom I didn't see often, sent me this book a few years after it was first published. I was about 6 & was instantly in love with this book. It was very different from the others I'd read. The illustrations are romantic fantasy with a gorgeous depth of color & detail; their beauty captivated me, I would sit & delve into each one, getting lost in them. The story was simple & true, faithful to his love for Blue the butterfly, despite the obvious differences in them, Lion searches for his Blue & is rewarded for his faithfulness in the end. When I was a child & feeling alone or missing my friend who I loved who would move from across the country to an Army base to home again every other year, I went to this book for solace. It has stayed with me through the years & when I lost that book in a house fire, I cried. Years later when I had my own son, I found another copy, even though I had to pay it was worth it. I've read this to my son a number of times & he too loves the illustrations & time will tell if the message sticks with him too.
I highly recommend this book for anyone with small children, it's beauty in both concept & art is outstanding. on Sale!

"Belongs on the shelf of classics about surviving degradation with dignity and even humor." Time
In March 1985, Terry Anderson was swept up in the violent conflict of a turbulent era. At the mercy of Shiite captors for nearly seven years, he lived in chains, wondering fearfully if each day would be his last. But his spirit soared beyond captivity, and he never gave up. Nor did those who loved him. And now, a free man again, he tells the harrowing and poignant story of a hostage's survival and final triumph.

From the Paperback edition.

±1±: Best Buy I do not want this to sound insensitive, but the one thing I kept thinking as I was reading this book is why was he there? The U.S. government was telling U.S. citizens to leave, the Lebanese government did not care, his employer wanted him to leave, and there were increasing hostage incidents. The book his the story of his capture and the seven years he spent as a captive of this militant group. He does a good job in describing the locations he was in, the people that were his captors, and the other persons that he was with. I thought the most interesting parts of the book detailed his conversations with some of his captors and their views on the situation.

The book is a very interesting view of what happened to the author. The details are rich and he does a good job of painting the scenes for us. He also did a good job of explaining the depression of being a captive and what it is like to loss seven years of your life, although I do not think any author could truly express the emotional pain that he must have gone through. If you are interested in this part of the world or this story, this is a great book. It is also interesting given the current climate in the Middle East to read about what was happening 20 years ago. on Sale!

The Lion Bridge, Selected Poems 1972-1995 offers for the first time a comprehensive view of Michael Palmer's extraordinary poetry. Dense and haunting, analytic and lyrical, classical and profoundly avant-garde, Palmer's work has a matchless beauty, difficult to describe: as Common Knowledge remarked, "Even more than its music, it emanates silence." The poet himself has culled the 118 poems of The Lion Bridge from his great body of work. This generous chronological selection includes individual poems, selections from serial poems, and two complete serial poems. Together the poems form a bridge, a kind of work-biography which takes a long look at an extraordinary achievement and gives a new view of a body of work as the poet himself wishes it to be seen. It also rescues from limbo so much material that has gone out of print. The Lion Bridge presents work from seven of his books: Blake's Newton, The Circular Gates, Without Music, Notes for Echo Lake, First Figure, Sun, and At Passages.

±1±: Best Buy As something of a freelance poet, Michael Palmer is someone I've turned to for inspiration. I don't know any pseudo-intellectual words to describe it, but his manipulation of words and ability to touch people with even really abstract work astounds me. He moves me. For an example of some of the brilliant work in this collection, try looking at "The Sun" online. (...)

P.S. Who is the moron that copied and pasted rave reviews but didn't star them? It really deflated the score. on Sale!

±1±: Best Buy This is the author's second book in The Norman Trilogy. It is an intriguing and well written work of historical fiction and a wonderful follow-up to the first book in the trilogy, "The Bastard King".

In this second book, the author continues the story of the legacy of William the Conqueror, known as the bastard king. His son, William Rufus, followed him as King of England and his other son, Robert, as Duke of Normandy. The youngest son, Henry, in keeping with the fate of most youngest sons, was left landless and all but penniless. A handsome and shrewd individual with a lawyerlike mind, the Normans called him "Henri Beauclerc".

When William Rufus found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, his reign was effectively ended. A twist of fate, however, found Henry in the right place at the right time. Having always coveted the throne of England, Henry lost no time in asserting his claim before his older brother, Robert, the Duke of Normandy, could assert his own, more rightful, claim. Thus, began the reign of Henry I of England.

Henry married Princess Edith of Scotland whom he renamed Matilda, so that the Normans might forget her Saxon origins. When his brother, Robert, finally asserted his claim to the throne of England, Henry defeated him and took over the Duchy of Normandy. King Henry and Queen Matilda would go on to have two children, William and Matilda, who would bring much joy and much sadness.

The author, also known to millions of devoted readers as Victoria Holt, masterfully tells the story of Henry, the man who would be king. She recounts his life and loves, painting a portrait of a lusty, ambitious, and ruthless man who would brook no opposition. He would leave England a better place for his reign. It is a spellbinding tale, woven with sufficient historical detail so as to make it enjoyable for all those who love historical fiction. on Sale!
