Lionel
The exceptional circumstances of Lionel Mosseri's short but remarkable life and military career are described by his stepfather, Louis Marlio, in the Preface to letters which Lionel wrote home to his family. Highly intelligent, articulate and revealing a disciplined, philosophical and visionary mind, Lionel's letters are sufficiently thought-provoking and well-written to justify publication. Mosseri received an English public school education and was trained and served in both the British and French armies. When he was killed on 25th November, 1944, he was leading a French detachment into Masevaux, the first city in Upper Alsace to be freed from the German Occupation. He was just twenty-three years old. Who knows what the future might have held for Mosseri in Europe, in the years following the war, in the peaceful society for which he fought so hard and ultimately gave his life? This book is dedicated by his step-father and brothers in honor of his memory, and to his fallen comrades who are remembered with him. Originally published in French in 1946. This is the first translated version."

The Last Anglo-Jewish Gentleman
Redcliffe Salaman (1874–1955) was an English Jew of many facets: a country gentleman, a physician, a biologist who pioneered the breeding of blight-free strains of potatoes, a Jewish nationalist, and a race scientist. A well-known figure in his own time, The Last Anglo-Jewish Gentleman restores him to his place in the history of British science and the British Jewish community. Redcliffe Salaman was also a leading figure in the Anglo-Jewish community in the 20th century. At the same time, he was also an incisive critic of the changing character of that community. His groundbreaking book, The History and Social Influence of the Potato, first published in 1949 and in print ever since, is a classic in social history. His wife Nina was a feminist, poet, essayist, and translator of medieval Hebrew poetry. She was the first (and to this day, only) woman to deliver a sermon in an Orthodox synagogue in Britain. The Last-Anglo Jewish Gentleman offers a compelling biography of a unique individual. It also provides insights into the life of English Jews during the late-19th and early-20th centuries and brings to light largely unknown controversies and tensions in Jewish life.
Cairo, the Glory Years
Cairo was once architecturally attractive, the period from the end of the 19th century until the 1950s witnessing an architectural flowering, with a variety of styles existing side by side. This book records much that has already been physically lost and plenty that is threatened.
