In The Peace Protesters by Simon Hill we hear about the grass roots protest against nuclear weapons, the A Rocky war and The war waged against Britain taking north Ireland. From those who were murdered for their efforts to those who live to see the difference they made I found all the stories harrowing I won’t say I agreed with all the protesters in this book, but I totally respect believing in something and wanting to do something about it. I love the personal stories of peoples lives and that is why I love pin sword press they have the best non-fiction books Simon Hill is a long time protester himself and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. If you love nonfiction and want to be a peeping Tom in the lives of peaceful protesters you should definitely read this book. They have so many stories and it makes for a very entertaining read.

"The humility and dedication that John shows throughout the book is indicative of the many men and women serving in the armed forces today. It is a great tribute to the rotary branches in the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force and John was integral part of developing them into what they are today."

Forty years ago I was barely a teenager when the Falklands’ War broke out. The conflict was my first experience of my country being at war with another nation, and I followed events avidly even though the theatre of war felt impossibly distant and remote. The author of this excellent book, Graham Bound, then the editor of the sole Falkland Island newspaper based in Port Stanley, was one of few hundred inhabitants who stayed after many had fled following its occupation by Argentine forces. The journal that he wrote throughout the siege of the town forms the basis of this book, along with photographs which he took at the time. Pretty much all of the content is unseen, and it is vivid and revealing. Graham gives a riveting day-by-day (and sometimes minute-to-minute) account of the conflict, sharing details of the islanders daily life under siege and their relationships with the Argentinian soldiers. If you’re interested in a first-hand account of one of the major engagements of the conflict,.. Read more

I finished reading South Georgia Boating Club, read the epilogue, closed the cover, and smiled. A really good book. Well worth reading. You don't have to have been in the SAS, the Army, or any uniformed service to appreciate this book. You don't have to have served in the Falklands to find it worth reading. It is a book for anyone. Tony Shaw very quickly recognised what he wanted to do in the Army. He saw what experience and qualifications he needed to gain in order to realise his ambitions. Throughout the book he made himself useful in whatever situation he was in and improved his knowledge by completing an amazing array of courses, often in top positions. He is a great example of the phrase "Carpe Diem" - Seize the Day - recognise opportunities and make the most of them. He prepared himself thoroughly for SAS selection. His description of the tasks on the selection course give an excellent insight into the reality of what it takes to become a fully-fledged member of "The Regiment". I.. Read more
