Second In Command is a comedic play written by Robert Marshall in 1910. The play is divided into four acts and centers around the character of Major George Barstow, who is the second in command at a British military base in India. Barstow is a pompous and arrogant man who believes that he should be the one in charge of the base, rather than his superior officer, Colonel Howard. The play begins with Barstow attempting to undermine Howard's authority by spreading rumors about him and trying to gain the favor of the other officers on the base. However, his plans backfire when Howard is promoted and Barstow is left to deal with the consequences of his actions. Throughout the play, Barstow's ego and sense of entitlement continue to cause problems for him, as he clashes with other characters and makes a series of bad decisions. The play is filled with witty dialogue and humorous situations, as Barstow's schemes and misadventures become increasingly absurd. In the end, Barstow is forced to confront the consequences of his actions and learn some valuable lessons about humility and teamwork. Second In Command is a classic example of British comedy from the early 20th century and remains a popular play for amateur and professional theater groups alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Germany provides the wherewithal in the shape of counterfeit money to three would be 'thieves' when they misappropriate a quarter of a million pounds in 1942.

Factories become a place of manufacturing for deadly munitions, produced mainly by women.

The greatest conquest in historyGenghis Khan left an empire more than twice the size of Alexander‿s: his successors went on to conquer and govern an area stretching from Korea to the River Danube. How did a band of nomadic herdsmen achieve so much, so fast?Despite these stunning achievements, many writers dismiss the Mongols as just ferocious barbarians. This bestselling book sets the record straight. The epic starts in 1206 - when Genghis became master of ‿all the people with felt tents‿ and an unknown tribe took the first steps towards world domination - and ends with the empire‿s decline and fall, after Khubilai Khan‿s triumphant unification with China. Robert Marshall describes their devastating invasions, including that of feudal Europe and Christendom‿s clumsy attempts to understand and fend off these legendary warriors. Full of extraordinary events, painted on a vast and colourful canvas, Storm from the East brings to life a time when East and West finally came face to face and the contours of modern Asia were set. ‿Storm from the East does not seek to excuse Mongol excesses - yet Robert Marshall appears to speak for the Mongols‿ A fascinating voyage through time and space‿ Thomas Nivison Haining in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society

An extraordinary true story of survival and courage through the Holocaust.Poland, 1943. It was the last refuge of the desperate, a warren of sewers underneath their city. Above, as the Nazis destroyed the ghetto of the city of Lvov, a small band of Jews escaped into a grim network of tunnels, living for fourteen months with the city's waste, the sudden floods, the fumes and the damp, the rats, the darkness, and the despair. Their only support was a lone sewer worker, an ex-criminal who constantly threatened to leave them. Many died; some falling into the rushing waters of the river, some simply of exhaustion. At one point the survivors found themselves trapped in a chamber, filling to the roof with storm-water. Yet survive they did, even infiltrating the camps above to find their missing relatives. When the Russians liberated Lvov, they emerged from the sewers filthy, bent double, emaciated, unrecognizable... but alive. This powerful story based on a long series of interviews, and a hitherto private diary, creates a blazing testimony to human faith and endurance.

A nostalgic look at Scottish football and mementoes from 1946 to 1986 when the game was at its (almost) egalitarian and entertaining best. It was a period with a wide spread of trophy winners: eight different teams were crowned champions and Scottish clubs regularly impressed in all three European competitions.
