Altona, MB, Canada: D. W. Friesen Sons, Limited, 2001. Soft cover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; very minimal wear; The Back Door is a youth employment society focusing on helping youth get off the street. It is a radical departure from traditional programs which often help maintain people on the street. The use of a contract, incentives, and steps designed by each young person has created an extremely successful process which has proven to nurture both self esteem and personal accountability. Evaluators have said The Back Door is a success and the features and nuances should be considered for export to other kinds of programs., D. W.

'The Operators' lifts the veil shrouding Britain's most secret military unit. Officially designated as 14 Intelligence Company,it was formed in 1974 to combat terrorism in Northern Ireland. If Ian Fleming's 'James Bond' exists anywhere today,he is to be found within the ranks of 14 Company.Highly trained in skills including lock- picking,advanced weapon handling,covert surveillance and infra-red photography,a typical 'Operator' has at his or her disposal an arsenal of techniques and weapons unmatched in any other theatre.No other UK government or military agency is so comprehensively trained,armed and equipped to undertake individually,or in highly flexible teams,the wide variety of covert intelligence gathering tasks that are required by a democracy in pursuit of a terrorist. As a precaution against capture,Operators never learn the true identity of any of their colleagues.Male and female volunteers are drawn from all ranks of the three services,The selection process and subsequent training course are the most physically, intellectually and emotionally demanding anywhere in the world. Every single day of each year for the past twenty-one years,14 Company Operators have been deployed on operations against Republican and Loyalist terrorism in Northern Ireland.This is the true story of one Operator and of some of the most hair-raising military operations ever conducted in the streets of the United Kingdom.

Comic B&W Magazine., Kitchen Sink Enterprises / Krupp Comic Works Pub, 1982, 3, London: Grub Street. New. 1999. Paperback. 1902304373 . Unread, spine not creased, minor shelf wear. 218 pp plus 24 pp of b/w photos. First-hand accounts from both sides, accompanied by photos, give an insight into how Allied airmen and German submarines fought against each other in the hostile skies above the deep cold sea. The U-Boat war in WWII has always been a source of fascination to historians worldwide and especially the RAF's anti-U-boat campaign. In this book, through aircrew reminiscences, one can read, for example, about the saga of the Italian submarine Luigi Torelli, the first U-boat to be attacked by an aircraft carrying a Leigh Light. You can also read about Operation Swamp along the southern Mediterranean coast of Spain, with U343 being attacked by eight aircraft of which two were shot down and two others damaged. And you can read about the sinking of U459 onto which the attacking aircraft actually crashed when shot down. Survivors of one of the most fascinating aspects of WWII—the U-Boat war—recall the ferocious fighting that took place on the water. The British RAF's anti-U-Boat campaign was intensely focused on these German submarines, which caused heavy casualties on the Allied Armies. It was no easy matter finding U boats, and if they then decided to remain on the surface and fight back, the attacking aircraft was a large target to determined gunners. The three living survivors of a Sunderland that sunk U489 but were shot down tell their story. A German gunner aboard U763 recalls the destruction of two Coastal Command aircraft on successive days. Aircraft survivors tell of their time in a dinghy after being shot down either by U boats or marauding Ju88 long-range fighters. There is also a gripping chapter concerning the USN Squadron VP83/107. The U-Boats and their crews were determined to prevail at any cost. Even when hit and destined for death, the Germans fought until the end, often downing the aircraft which had wounded them. Many of the accounts from Dark Sky, Deep Water reveal how these survivors barely made it out alive after their own planes were hit. Their gripping stories give a unique perspective into how Allied airmen and German submarines fought each other in hostile battles. ., Grub Street, 1999, 6, Toronto: Tundra Books. Fine. 2005.

"Thousands of mothers carried their babies to the gates of the Foundling Hospital desperate to save them from the cruel streets of eighteenth-century London. Each baby was left with a personal token identification if a repentant mother ever returned to reclaim her child. Captain Thomas Coram, himself childless, was inspired by the sight of babies abandoned on dung heaps to petition the king for support in building a home for England's poorest children. Coram's vision saved countless children's lives. A Home for Foundlings describes the hospital Captain Coram founded, the luminaries involved including Handel, Hogarth, and Dickens and the daily lives of the foundlings themselves...."
