The dawn of 1921 finds Mary Russell, Sherlock Holmes’s brilliant young apprentice, about to come into a considerable inheritance. Nevertheless, she still enjoys her nighttime prowls in disguise through London’s grimy streets, where one night she encounters an old friend, now a charity worker among the poor. Veronica Beaconsfield introduces Russell to the New Temple of God, led by the enigmatic, electrifying Margery Childe. Part suffragette, part mystic, she lives quite well for a woman of God from supposedly humble origins. Despite herself, Russell is drawn ever deeper into Childe’s circle. When Veronica has a near-fatal accident–and turns out to be the fourth bluestocking in the group to meet with misadventure after changing her will–Russell and Holmes launch a quiet investigation. But the Temple may bring the newly rich Russell far closer to heaven than she would like....

This third and final part of the three-volume history of the Queen’s Own Royal West Kent Regiment'tells of the last decade in the unit’s existence before it was amalgamated with its neighbouring unit, the Royal East Kent Regiment - the Buffs - to form the Royal Kent Regiment in 1961. The final ten years in the old unit’s life was as eventful as any in its history as it held the line while Britain gave independence to many of its former colonies.The regiment’s First Battalion saw service from April 1951 to February 1954, in the ‘Malayan Emergency’ - Britain’s successful containment of a Communist guerilla campaign. The First Battalion also took part in a far less happy post-colonial episode, the Anglo-French occupation of Egypt’s Suez Canal in 1956. Almost immediately, It then embarked from Port Said for Cyprus to help deal with the Emergency caused by the Greek Cypriot guerilla group EOKA and its campaign for unity (‘Enosis’) with Greece. The book concludes with the smooth amalgamation of the two Kent regiments, each with their own distinguished history. With ten appendices listing honours, awards, memorials etc. four maps and 33 photographs.

They were the youngest US Army Division to serve in Europe in World War II. They were called the "Diaper Division", averaging just 18 or 19 years old. They had limited training and were considered unsuitable for combat. This is the story of the men of Company H, 2nd Battalion, 291st Regiment, 75th Infantry Division: their bravery, sacrifices, and the bonds of friendship that kept them alive and helped them to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny. These young men entered combat at a critical point in the Battle of the Bulge, lacking food, supplies, and winter clothing; in fact the only thing they did not lack was courage. The 75th Division defended the American Army's flank from a direct assault by two German SS Panzer Divisions. Their contribution to the battle resulted in the collapse of the German Bulge, earning their place in history as the "Bulge Busters." They went on to fight a fierce battle high in the Vosges Mountains of Colmar, France and pushed out the remnants of the German Army from French soil. They moved through Holland, crossed the Rhine, and fought a major battle in Central Germany in a town called Castrop-Rauxel, that was the center of German industry in the Ruhr Valley. They went to war as green kids, but truly became unlikely heroes.

With the Iron Brigade on campaign and battlefield For students of the American Civil War, the name Rufus Dawes will be forever associated with the famous Iron Brigade of the Union Army-that hardy and courageous assembly of regiments from the western states whose steadfastness in the thickest of battlefield conflicts earned them their descriptive nickname. Born in 1838, Dawes was just 23 years old when the Civil War broke out and he became a captain in the 6th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, the regiment he would, in time, come to famously command. Dawes was always an ardent and aggressive battlefield commander. He served with the regiment at Groveton, Antietam, Fredericksburg and through the Chancellorsville campaign. At Gettysburg he notably led the counter-attack on Davis's Confederate brigade sheltering in a railway cutting and there took some 200 prisoners. Dawes served at Mine Run, the Wilderness Campaign, the sieges of Petersburg and Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor in 1864. Worn out physically and mentally, Dawes was mustered out after three years of the most intensive combat-he was just 26 years old. The following year he was promoted to brevet brigadier general. This book, Dawes' own account of his regiment of 'Black Hats' of the Iron Brigade, is an acknowledged classic of the period. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
