Tumbledown
Robert Lawrence was born into the army. His brother, father and grandfather had all been in the forces before him, so it seemed natural for him to join up. He joined the Scots Guards and loved the army life - its sense of family and history, the mess nights, the ceremonial, the training and travel. When the Falkland Islands were invaded by Argentina in 1982, Lawrence became involved in the battle for Tumbledown Mountain, in which he was seriously maimed. This is an account of his experiences there and his subsequent recovery and treatment on his return to Britain. He and his father describe the disgust they felt at the reception of the conquering heroes - the men the British Army tried to forget. Published to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the Falklands War, this is a testimony to those who liberated the Islands and to their families who lived through the war and its aftermath.
When the Fighting is Over
This is the story of Robert Lawrence of the Scots Guards who was severely wounded as he led his platoon in an attack against an Argentinian machine-gun position during the battle for Tumbledown Mountain in 1982. The injury to Lawrence's head was so severe that it was assumed that he would die and he had to wait for four hours before medical staff could help him, but he did eventually make a recovery, coming to terms with his paralysis.
A Quaker Book of Wisdom
"The most valuable aspect of religion," writes Robert Lawrence Smith, "is that it provides us with a framework for living. I have always felt that the beauty and power of Quakerism is that it exhorts us to live more simply, more truthfully, more charitably." Taking his inspiration from the teaching of the first Quaker, George Fox, and from his own nine generations of Quaker forebears, Smith speaks to all of us who are seeking a way to make our lives simpler, more meaningful, and more useful. Beginning with the Quaker belief that "There is that of God in every person," Smith explores the ways in which we can harness the inner light of God that dwells in each of us to guide the personal choice...

Lawrence of Arabia on War
A new study of Captain T. E. Lawrence "of Arabia," his ideas on warfare, and the context of the military campaigns, the peace settlements, and the legacies that followed. One hundred years ago, Captain Lawrence and an unlikely band of Arab irregulars captured the strategic port of Aqaba after an epic journey through waterless tracts of desert. Their attacks on railways during the Great War are well known and have become the stuff of legend, but while Lawrence himself has been the subject of fascinating biographies, as well as an award-winning film, the context of his war in the desert, and his ideas on war itself, are less well-known. This new title offers a high-paced evaluation of T. E. La...
