Up the Line to Death. The War Poets 1914-1918 — 1980
Up The Line To Death: The War Poets 1914—1918 is a poetry anthology edited by Brian Gardner, and first published in 1964. It was a thematic collection of the poetry of World War I.A significant revisiting of the tradition of the war poet, writing in English, it was backed up by strong biographical research on the poets included. Those were mainly British and Irish combatants of World War I; but there are also Australian, Canadian and American poets. The poems are arranged roughly in chronological order, from the start of the war to the end. Some contemporary poems by major poets not involved in the fighting are also given. The title of the anthology comes from the Siegfried Sassoon poem Base Details.
Joe Hunter doesn`t like bullies. He really doesn`t like men who abuse women. So protecting Bradley Jorgenson from a professional hitman is not Joe`s dream job and he suspects that the man who hired him is looking for more than protection for his daughter. One thing Hunter has never been, and never will be, is a killer-for-hire. As it turns out, the vengeful father isn`t the only one who wants the boyfriend dead. Soon Hunter is face to face with contract killer Dantalion - who takes his work very seriously. He has a talent for killing and a book in which he obsessively numbers each of his victims. Which adds up to one hell of a body count...
Occupying a unique position in the mercurial, often violent world of medieval state-craft, England's medieval queens were elemental in shaping the history of the monarchy and the nation. Lisa Hilton's meticulously researched new work explores the lives of the 20 women crowned between 1066 and 1503. She reconsiders the fictions surrounding well-known figures like Eleanor of Aquitaine, illuminates the lives of forgotten queens such as Adeliza of Louvain, and shows why they all had to negotiate a role that combined tremendous influence with terrifying vulnerability. The result is a provocative and dramatic narrative that redefines English history.
