If you had an ancestor who fought on the western front in 1918, have you ever wondered about the conditions they fought in and the military regime they fought under? Whilst specific to the 6th Battalion Dorsetshire Regiment, Mud Blood and Bayonet, the book describes the daily life that would have been typical for the soldiers who fought in 1918. From the murderous onslaught of the German Spring Offensive to the final push and victory on the 11th November 1918. The information has been collated from battalion, regimental and person diaries. http://amzn.to/2jE2WGd #WW1OnThisDay #ww1centenary #ww1

Managing the world’s richest diamond mine in former German South West Africa, Harvey Tremayne clashes with a colonial resistance group, intent on restoring their homeland. They smuggle diamonds destined for the Nazi military rearmament programme. Tremayne got in their way. They killed his wife. Driven by revenge, he’s now hunting for them. His search takes him to places even more dangerous than the terror-filled trenches of his WW1 service. In the process, he is drawn into the shadowy world of British Secret Intelligence. They are hunting the same enemy but for a different reason. Amid sizzling tensions, days before World War 2 is declared, the web of intrigue and murder he uncovers stretches from Tangier to the diamond-rich Forbidden Zone in the blistering Namib Desert. This land is merciless and treats the hunter and the hunted with equal contempt. Brought alive by a vibrant backdrop and warts-and-all characters, this fast-paced action thriller delivers from the start until its startling and dramatic finale. |
