by Captain Scott O'Grady

The ordeal of a US Air Force Captain in the Bosnian war. When his F-16 was hit by a Serb SAM he ejected at 27,000 feet.

UP TO THEIR NECKS
by Joe F. Plant

Though this copy is new it is a proof copy and is so inscribed on the title page. The story of a National Serviceman. Within days of the end of the Second World War the Cold War began, thus conscription continued, to replace the demobilisation of Britain's existing armed forces. Who better to replace them than over two million eligible eighteen year old young men who were thoroughly enjoying their freedom until a brown envelope fluttered through the letterbox informing them that they had been called up. This is a factual and personal story about the camaraderie that quickly developed among many during their enforced National Service.

RED ZONE. FIVE BLOODY YEARS IN BAGHDAD
by Oliver Poole

As the Daily Telegraph's Baghdad Bureau chief, Oliver Poole first arrived in Iraq in 2003, crossing the Kuwait border in the bank of a US armoured vehicle. Once in Baghdad his home would become a hotel room in the middle of the city's Red Zone. He tells how the war changed his life - and also the life of his interpreter Ahmed, whose relations were among those slaughtered and who ultimately had to flee Iraq – with Oliver’s help – in a vehicle filled with his possessions and family.
