Index of Proper Names. Maps. Signed by the author on the half-title. Sticker residue on half-title. Cover has small tear at top of spine, some tape, and other wear and soiling. Slightly cocked. "War Stories, Utah Beach to Pleiku," is a collection of the memories of veterans and their service in the 4th Infantry Division. The book covers the period of World War II, The Cold War, and Vietnam--more than thirty-years of rich history from 1940 through 1970. In "War Stories," there are 325 accounts from WWII veterans. In them, they describe their early training as they prepared for a war that they knew was coming, but had no name for. In great detail they portray the bloody assault on Utah Beach, on D-Day, June 6, 1944 and their subsequent fight through the hedgerows of Normandy. They were the first division to enter Paris, and they rightfully lay claim to the honor of liberating that famous city. More

This is one of the Control of Nature Series. Initial copyright date is 1995. Larry Badash was a UCSB professor emeritus and one of the nation’s most respected historians of science. The author of seven books and numerous articles, Larry taught generations of students during his 36-year career at UCSB. Larry specialized in history of physics and specifically nuclear weapons. Larry’s popular class on “The Bomb” led to the publication of his book Scientists and the Development of Nuclear Weapons: From Fission to the Limited Test Ban Treaty, 1939-1963 (1995). Larry expanded his research on the history of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are a product of scientists assembled during World War II at the now legendary Los Alamos laboratory. In 1975 he organized a series of weekly lectures delivered by members of the Los Alamos Project. The gathering included George B. Kistiakowsky, Richard P. Feynman, and Norris Bradbury. More

Parliament and Politics in the Age of Churchill and Attlee; The Headlam Diaries 1935–1951
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1999. First Published 1999 [Stated]. Presumed first printing. Hardcover. The format is approximately 5.625 inches by 8.75 inches. x, [4], 665, [1] pages. Footnotes. Maps. Index. DJ is in a plastic sleeve This is Volume 14 of the Camden Fifth Series. It was published for The Royal Historical Society. This volume publishes the private diary of a senior Conservative Member of Parliament, Sir Cuthbert Headlam, during the period of the Second World War. Clearly written and highly readable, it gives a fascinating inside view of British public life in those years. Because of its length and coverage, this political diary is uniquely important. It covers the period of 'appeasement' and the coming of the war, the conflict itself, and post-war Labour government and the development of the Cold War. It has much to say about figures such as Winston Churchill, Anthony Eden and Harold Macmillan. Stuart Ryan Ball, CBE, FRHistS, is a political historian who retired in 2016 as professor of Modern British History at the University of Leicester, having taught there for 37 years; he is now emeritus professor of Modern History there. He specializes in the history of the Conservative Party. In 1990, he was elected Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. As of 2017, he is Historical Consultant to the Conservative Party Archive at the Bodleian Library, sits on the editorial committee of the journal Parliamentary History, and is treasurer of the Parliamentary History Trust. In the 2018 New Year Honours, Ball was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for service to political history. More
