Small dampstain top of DJ and book spine, small stain top page edges near spine, price clipped DJ ; A bright solid, book, DJ in Mylar ; 253 pages; Frank W. Abagnale, alias Frank Williams, Robert Conrad, Frank Adams, and Robert Monjo, was one of the most daring con men, forgers, imposters, and escape artists in history. In his brief but notorious criminal career, Abagnale donned a pilot's uniform and copiloted a Pan Am jet, masqueraded as the supervising resident of a hospital, practiced law without a license, passed himself off as a college sociology professor, and cashed over $2.5 million in forged checks, all before he was twenty-one. Known by the police of twenty-six foreign countries and all fifty states as "The Skywayman," Abagnale lived a sumptuous life on the lam-until the law caught up with him. He is now recognized as the nation's leading authority on financial foul play.

Adkins, Roy Nelson's Trafalgar The Battle That Changed the World
New York Viking Adult 2005 0670034487 Second Printing Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket Illustrated by B&W Plates
Light edge wear; DJ in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped. A bright, solid book ; 1.6 x 9.1 x 6.3 Inches; 392 pages; On October 21, 1805, as Britain’s Royal Navy under the command of Horatio Nelson clashed with Napoleon’s forces in an epic sea battle off the coast of Spain, the fate of Europe hung in the balance. Though the cost was high, and Nelson himself was killed, the British victory prevented Napoleon from invading Britain and paved the way for the eventual defeat of the French emperor. Without Trafalgar there would have been no Waterloo. The Battle of Trafalgar set Britain on its vast imperial course. Now, on the battle’s 200th anniversary, Roy Adkins offers readers a brutally vivid, gunport-level account of the battle. For more than five hours the crews of the British, French, and Spanish ships struggled under the constant barrage of cannon and musket fire amid choking fumes, and ear-splitting explosions. While the men maneuvered the ships and kept the cannons firing, the women tended the sick and helped the boys carry gunpowder cartridges to the gun decks. Capturing as never before the harsh conditions in which sailors lived and died, the mechanics of nautical warfare, and the relentless violence of 19th century naval combat, 'Nelson’s Trafalgar' is a must read for fans of military history and Patrick O’Brian.

Light edge wear, a little creasing of fore corners ; A tight solid book. Undated but circa 1935 ; Trade PB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 64 pages; The Story Of Saxon And Norman Britain Told In Pictures - BY C. W. AIRNE - 1. THE ANGLO-SAXONS. A.D. 410-1066. The Anglo-Saxon or English Conquest A.D. 440-618 marks the beginning of our natioral history, as it destroyed the Roman Civilization in Britain and establish the English race and nation with its own distinctive lanqiage, society, institutions and government. The early English were pagans inferior to the Romans, but they were not barbarians. They iunderstood the Hontan Civilization, but discarded it as unsuited to essentially agricultural cornmunitics. Upon their conversion to Christianity A.D. 597-664, their civilization rapidly improved their cultural progress being directed by the Christian Church, whose efficient organization ably assisted the civil governments, instituted maturer systems of law and justice, fostered religious and secular learning and encouraged craftsmanship and the arts, especially literature and music. The English were characterized by their intense love of freedom, their reliance upon the ties of kinship and their inherent capacity for co-operation and unity. In Britain, they instituted a complete system of self-government which became in practice a rude constitutional monarchy conducted by a King and a Witan or national council, composed chiefly of eorls or nobles of hereditary rank and gcsiths or professional warriors, who afterwards formed a lower nobility aa Ulegns or thanes by acquiring minimum holdings of land. The main body of the people ranked aa ceorb or free landowners, but there was also a large class of serfs or theows composed of prisoners of war and men enslaved through debt or crime. Local government was administered by moots or meetings attended by freemen or their representatives, but in the course of time, these moob passed into the hands of the local earls, the thegns and the Kings reeves or representatives. In principle, government was simple. In practice it became involved, as the common rights of the varioua classes were supplemented by common responsibilities, the most exacting being military service..............

Airth, Rennie The Blood-Dimmed Tide

Remainder mark bottom page edges, light edge wear, some scuffing of DJ ; A bright, solid book, DJ in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped. ; 1.26 x 9.06 x 5.91 Inches; 341 pages; With The New York Times Notable Book 'River of Darkness', Rennie Airth established himself as a formidable master of suspense. Now, in 'The Blood-Dimmed Tide', Airth returns with a macabre tale, filled with fascinating historical detail, of the social struggles of post–World War I Britain and the looming menace of Hitler’s Germany. It is 1932, and former Inspector John Madden leads a quiet life in rural England with his wife and children - until a young village girl is savagely murdered. The crime catapults Madden into the grisly world of a brutal killer. Along with his former colleagues at Scotland Yard, Madden soon finds himself enlisting the help of the British secret service and the German police. Together they use the burgeoning science of criminal psychology in order to grasp the workings of the twisted mind of a cunning, sophisticated murderer - but can Madden prevent him from killing again?
