158,95 kr. An eye-opening introduction to one of the most audacious special operations forces of World War Two, written by a man who led them into battle. An ideal book for people who enjoyed SAS: Rogue Heroes and Band of Brothers. In the aftermath of the disastrous Battle of France and evacuation from Dunkirk, Winston Churchill told his military chiefs of staff that "Enterprises must be prepared, with specially trained troops of the hunter class, who can develop a reign of terror down on these coasts, first of all on the 'butcher-and-bolt' policy... leaving a trail of German corpses behind them." By the end of the month the Commandos had been formed from volunteers and were already implementing their hit-and-run tactics that would make them famous. Only the best recruits were sent; they had to be young, absolutely fit, able to drive motor vehicles, and unable to be seasick. One of the conditions of service, clearly laid down, was that any many might voluntarily return to his unit after an operation. Few ever asked to do so. Peter Young, who volunteered shortly after returning from Dunkirk, rose to become commander of the 1st Commando Brigade by the end of the war. In Commando he charts the development of this unique fighting force from its emergence through the course of its major operations, including: Lofoten, Spitzbergen and Vaagso in Norway, the invasion of Italy, the St. Nazaire and Dieppe raids on the French coast, along with numerous other operations. 'it reads like an adventure story; for that is what the Commandos engaged in - a series of grim adventures from which a high number did not return. Their adventures not only raised the alarm along the occupied coast line - they raised the morale of the Allied sympathisers everywhere, progressively, as the scope and the range of their operations spread from Europe to the Mediterranean coastlines.' Brigadier Anthony Farrar-Hockley Peter Young's Commando should be essential reading for all looking to learn more about this intrepid Second World War fighting force.

168,95 kr. An eye-opening memoir of service with the Arab Legion in the tense world of the Middle East. An ideal book for fans of T.E. Lawrence, Andy McNab and Nathaniel Fick. In the aftermath of his time spent serving with the Commandos in the Second World War, Peter Young became frustrated with the mundaneness of peacetime duties, and so in 1953 he joined the Arab Legion under the command of Sir John Glubb. Although the First Arab-Israeli War had ended four years before, tensions were still high between Israel and its neighbours by the time that Young entered the region. Over the course of the next three years Young saw the Jordanian Arab Legion grow to a substantial force with modern training and equipment, developing into a powerful counterweight to the rising strength of Israel. Bedouin Command provides fascinating insight into this remarkable Arabian army which collaborated with its large number of British officers to maintain peace in the Middle East. Yet, Young also explains how this happy relationship ended due to nationalist sentiments rising among the Jordanians leading to the dismissal of Young and his fellow senior officers. Young's book is a fascinating memoir of one British officer's time spent serving in the Middle East. He writes compassionately about his men, who he saw as excellent soldiers, and although he was eventually removed from his position Young's admiration for the Arab world is clear throughout the book. "The personal account of a regimental commander in the Arab Legion from 1953 to 1956." Foreign Affairs

173,95 kr. An unforgettable personal account of fighting with the Commandos in World War Two. An ideal book for fans of Andy McNab, Robert O'Neill or Marcus Luttrell. For Peter Young the Second World War was a truly global conflict. From Norway to Northern France, Italy to Burma, Young rose through the ranks of the commandos to become a brigadier, commanding the 1st Commando Brigade by the end of the war. Storm from the Sea charts Young's journey through World War Two, with captivating accounts of the raids at Lofoten, Vaagso and Dieppe with the famous 3 Commando. Young uncovers how the Commandos with their impeccable training and camaraderie were able to overcome Nazi forces in Sicily and Italy before they joined with the 1st Special Service Brigade for the liberation of France. Peter Young's memoir is an enthralling, first-hand account of his time spent fighting with the Commandos during World War Two. It should be essential reading for all interested in one of the most important special forces in military history. "readers interested in a combat narrative will find that Storm from the Sea makes a welcome addition to their libraries." Maj. James Gates, USAF, Air & Space Power Journal "As Storm from the Sea reveals, Peter was in his element in the Commandos during the Second World War. ... Apart from battlefield courage to an unusual degree, he had the rare ability to think quickly - as if from first principles - in military situations. That intelligence and common sense, together with his bravery, robustness, sense of humour and personality, live again in these stirring pages." John Adair

218,95 kr. A detailed and atmospheric study of the decisive battle of the First English Civil War: Naseby 1645. Ideal for readers of John Barratt, Peter Ackroyd and Christopher Hibbert, and for everyone interested in military history and the English Civil Wars. On 14 June 1645 General Sir Thomas Fairfax led his New Model Army to victory over King Charles I at the Battle of Naseby. His triumph won the First English Civil War for Parliament and signalled the end of the Royalist Army's hopes of military victory. In this book Brigadier Peter Young provides a complete account of the course of the battle and of the campaign which preceded it. He conjures up in telling detail the dramatic atmosphere of the early summer of 1645, when the fate of England hung in the balance; and in reconstructing the course of the battle moment by moment he brings to bear his own unique experience and understanding of military realities. In addition, valuable first-hand accounts reveal how the fighting unfolded on the field of Naseby during one of the most crucial battles in British military history. This highly readable book is part of a series on battles which became turning points in history and is a must-have volume for every military historian.

- How to get and stay unstuck
173,95 kr. Feeling stuck? Want to overcome your fears and move forward? "Clarity Beyond Stuckness" is a unique experience that will work for you. It takes you by the hand and helps you identify the issues/situations in your past that are holding you back...keeping you stuck in place...preventing you from creating a clear path towards becoming the person you want to be....to get what you want in life...to finally be free of the shackles that held you back. Clarity Beyond Stuckness explains the reasons why most people find it difficult to determine which way they want/need to go; what in their past and present lives keeps them in shackles. Many people find it very difficult to sort through the clutter created in the cauldron of their minds by the mixture of their wishes, desires, dreams, along with their realities. They use their present situation as an excuse to do nothing. "What can I do? I feel so stuck." They have a vague idea of what they want, but are not sure and cannot untangle the jumble of imagination and reality. As a result, they cannot create a plan to move forward. They become stuck. They become bored and hopeless...depressed. They want to be happy, but don't know how. Until now. Utilising a new easy to follow sorting process, you can separately categorise your past, present, and future; chart their history, identify their current roadblocks based on that history, and create a forward looking action plan to overcoming those hurdles and reach their desired outcomes. It's a process of self-discovery that helps you identify what you truly want; what will make you happy (even if you don't know what that is at the beginning) and create action oriented steps to achieve your goals; whether they be professional or personal. Having worked with hundreds of people who were confused, disappointed, depressed, uncertain of their future, the Clarity Beyond Stuckness process, allows you to relate and escape from your own mental flypaper and break with the chains of your past to move on to a much brighter future. A definite must attend for all people who want to move from feeling stuck and becoming unstuck.

173,95 kr. Building longer-term successful relationships is similar to shooting a rocket at the moon - sometimes you're successful. Everyone is happy and the sailing is smooth. Sometimes, however, technical difficulties occur: the rocket never leaves the launch pad, blows up or fails to reach orbital velocity. Relationships that last do so by going through predictable phases, each with its own set of expectations and outcomes. You both begin your relationship with significant trust, fire, high expectations. You're in lust with each other and forgive those annoying little behaviors that, at first, seem cute and endearing but over time, start to grate and annoy. As a relationship starts to mature and the initial fire seems to lose its intensity, trust, respect, and mutual interests become the glue that allows the relationship to continue to grow to a new level of enjoyment. The normal doubts that creep in, like changing love, taking each other for granted, etc. require continuous maintenance and attention as the relationship develops into a deeper, more meaningful phase. Some Assembly Required is a book about building lasting relationships. Family, friends, and work environments are explored as we discuss the keys to success at each phase of a relationship. There are those who can only handle certain phases and lose patience or interest as the relationship matures. To help along this line, we discuss some of the secrets we've uncovered that will act as a guide to helping you build happy and fulfilling relationships - in your family, at work, and in a variety of shorter-termed social situations. The good thing about what we've uncovered is that we come at this issue from different perspectives. One of us has been in a long-term marriage (35+ years) and managed to survive the ups, downs, and challenges that occur with commitment over time. The other is finishing up his third marriage and heading towards the fourth. So, one knows what works and the other what doesn't. Combining our collective knowledge and experience, told through stories, examples, and recommendations, make this book a valuable guide to finding, building, repairing (if needed), and maintaining happy and fulfilling relationships at home and work.
