The Forgotten Highlander, The Red On Revolution, Devil Dogs & [Hardcover] War How Conflict Shaped Us 4 Books Collection Set

Description

War How Conflict Shaped Us [Hardcover]:
In War, Professor Margaret MacMillan explores the deep links between society and war and the questions they raise. We learn when war began - whether among early homo sapiens or later, as we began to organise ourselves into tribes and settle in communities.

The Forgotten Highlander:
Alistair Urquhart was a soldier in the Gordon Highlanders captured by the Japanese in Singapore. He not only survived working on the notorious Bridge on the River Kwai , but he was subsequently taken on one of the Japanese 'hellships' which was torpedoed. Nearly everyone else on board died and Urquhart spent 5 days alone on a raft in the South China Sea before being rescued by a whaling ship.

The Red on Revolution:
Are you struggling to sustain the commitment needed to achieve your goals? Coach Mike – a trainer of champions, a leader of leaders, the coach with the ear of the elite and the man credited with revolutionising the way the army trains today – is ready to help YOU.

Devil Dogs:
The ‘Devil Dogs’ of K Company, 3/5 Marines, were part of the legendary first Marine Division. They landed on the beaches of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands in 1942 – the first US ground offensive of the war – and were present when Okinawa, Japan’s most southerly prefecture, finally fell to American troops after a bitter struggle in June 1945.
