Among the Firsts: Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard L. Bolland's Unconventional War
In his own words, the war of the doubly pioneering Lt Col Gerhard L. Bolland—82nd Airborne paratrooper on D-Day and senior OSS field operative on Operation Rype. Unconventional warfare tactics can have a considerable effect on the outcome of any war. During World War II, the United States government developed and employed two new methods of fighting. The first was the development of "paratroop" units, as they were first called. The second was the formation of a covert and sabotage operations branch called the Office of Strategic Services (OSS).

Årene med Elizabeth
Hun har hittil overlevd 15 statsministre -- fra Winston Churchill til Theresa May. Hun er den monark i verden som har sittet lengst på tronen. Årene med Elizabeth er som et eventyr. Boken bringer deg dypt inn i de kongelige gemakkene. Her får du de ukjente historiene fra dronning Elizabeths eventyrlige år og fra dronningfamiliens mange dramaer, om forelskelser, feider og skilsmisser, og et granskende blikk på hva det er som egentlig skjer når millioner av mennesker gråter over en prinsesses død eller fryder seg over et kongelig bryllup. Inger Merete Hobbelstad skriver med letthet, med sans for pikante detaljer og lange historiske linjer, med sjarm og sensibilitet om det britiske kongehus, om hver av kongefamiliens sentrale medlemmer og om britisk historie. ÅRENE MED ELIZABETH er et overflødighetshorn av morsomme, tragiske, uhørte og uforglemmelige historier. Boken er rik på kunnskaper og skarpe analyser. Midt i fortellingen står Elizabeth: Datter, søster, mor, hustru, men fremfor alt - dronning.

But, as Professor Edith Burley demonstrates, 'the HBC was a business...the purpose of which was to provide shareholders with a return on their investments.' Low paid, subservient workers were required to fulful this purpose.In Servants of the Honourable Company, Professor Burley focuses on the work and workers of the HBC. About 15% of HBC worke...
