On a cold, moonlit night in January 1944, Anne-Marie Walters, just 20 years old, parachuted into southwest France to work with the Resistance in preparation for the long-awaited Allied invasion. The daughter of a British father and a French mother, she was to act as a courier for George Starr, head of the WHEELWRIGHT circuit of SOE. Over the next seven months Anne-Marie criss-crossed the region, carrying messages, delivering explosives, arranging the escape of downed airmen and receiving parachute drops of arms and personnel at dead of night - living in constant fear of capture and torture by the Gestapo. Then, on the very eve of liberation, she was sent off on foot over the Pyrenees to Spain, carrying urgent despatches for London. Anne-Marie Walters wrote Moondrop to Gascony immediately after the war, while the events were still vivid in her mind. It is a tale of high adventure, comradeship and kindness, of betrayals and appalling atrocities, and of the often unremarked courage of many ordinary French men and women who risked their lives to help drive German armies from French soil. And through it all shines Anne-Marie's quiet courage, a keen sense humour and, above all, her pure zest for life. For this new edition, David Hewson, a former Regular Army Officer and much interested in military history, adds biographical details for the main characters, identifies the real people behind the pseudonyms and provides background notes. He also reveals what happened to Anne-Marie at the end of the war. Ref A 2

Gascony is one of the finest unspoilt areas left in France and its armagnac brandy is different from others, being the product of different soils and climate as well as different methods of distillation. The earliest documented evidence of the distillation of brandies in Gascony dates back to 1411, making armagnac older than cognac by some 200 years. Today, production is centred around six small towns and villages, while a further 50 or so "hidden" domains distil their own, largely for sale direct to private customers and selected restaurants. In spite of developments since the beginning of this century, such as the growth of certain blending and shipping houses and the introduction of "appellations controlees", the Gascons remain resistant to the new "invasion" by cognac houses. Ewald Junge attempts to capture the spirit of the Gascony region of France, describing the history of armagnac and trends in its production and distribution, including information on where to find it in Britain. Travel tips on what to see and where to stay in the region are also supplied.

This is a study of the religious ideas and motivation of the laymen who fought in the First Crusade (1095-1101). Marcus Bull argues that the laity's crusading zeal cannot be understood simply as a reflection of the preoccupations of educated ecclesiastics. His scholarly and sophisticated analysis shows that elements traditionally regarded as central to the crusade's origins--the Peace of God movement and the Spanish Reconquest--were in fact of minimal significance. Through a study of three regions in southwestern France, Bull uncovers the true dynamic of crusade enthusiasm: the beliefs and practices of pious laymen in intimate contact with local religious communities. He shows that the crusade was an expression of everyday, but genuine, piety.
