Oaths sworn. . . . Loyalties tested. . . . Forces collide. It's been only months since Eragon first uttered "brisingr",an ancient-language term for fire. Since then,he's not only learned to create magic with words - he's been challenged to his very core.Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors on the Burning Plains, Eragon and his dragon,Saphira,have narrowly escaped with their lives.Still,there is more adventure at hand for the Rider and his dragon,as Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep. First is Eragon's oath to his cousin Roran: to help rescue Roran's beloved from King Galbatorix's clutches.But Eragon owes his loyalty to others,too.The Vardn are in desperate need of his talents and strength - as are the elves and dwarves.When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner,Eragon must make choices - choices that will take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice. Eragon is the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny.Can this once simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king?

In 1942 the battle-hardened troops of the Japanes Army overran Burma with frightening speed,sweeping a tide of refugees before them.For five months British and Indian troops tried to stem the invasion,but with inadequate equipment and numbers they were no match for the enemy. This unexpected invasion triggered the exodus of half a million people who abandoned their homes and set off on foot for India.They included the elderly,pregnant women, children and exhausted soldiers.Ill-equipped and ill-provisioned they were not prepared for a trek of several hundred miles through dense jungle and ridge upon ridge of steep mountains. Disease,starvation and exhaustion claimed thousands whose graves lie unmarked in some of the most inhospitable terrain in the world.Whole families were wiped out,and hundreds drowned in the mud as the monsoon turned valleys into swamps and rivers in torrents. Even six months later jungle tracks were lined with the bones of those who had died trying to escape. Survivors lost everything.Scarred by their ordeal,most refused to speak of the nights sleeping amongst corpses, or the daily struggle for survival on the journey.Some used their diaries to expunge the sights and smells they witnessed along the way,and to record the deaths of friends and family.It was a terrible end to an idyllic life in this colonial outpost nicknamed the Golden Land. For the first time,diaries,letters and official documents have been drawn on to bring to life this shocking episode in the British Empire's history.The author,Felicity Goodall, has retraced the routes taken by refugees through a country which was transformed from paradise to hell on earth.Her own travels bring added empathy and understanding to the story of those forced to flee when Burma became a battlefield.

Condition: Very Good. Volume 2 only- " Winner of the 2016 Ottawa Book Award An unforgettable chronicle of Canadians fighting the Second World War. Historian Tim Cook displays his trademark storytelling ability in the second volume of his masterful account of Canadians in World War II. Cook combines an extraordinary grasp of military strategy with a deep empathy for the soldiers on the ground, at sea, and in the air. Whether it's a minute-by-minute account of a grueling artillery battle, vicious infighting among generals, the scene inside a medical unit, or the small details of a soldier's daily life, Cook creates an utterly compelling narrative. He recounts in mesmerizing detail how the Canadian forces figured in the Allied bombing of Germany, the D-Day landing at Juno Beach, the taking of Caen, and the drive south. Featuring dozens of black-and-white photographs and moving excerpts from letters and diaries of servicemen, Fight to the Finish, along with its companion volume, The Necessary War, broadens our understanding of the Second World War with a gripping account of Canadians who fought abroad, and the home front that was changed forever." About the Author: "Tim Cook is a military historian at the Canadian War Museum, as well as an adjunct professor at Carleton University. His books have won numerous awards, including the 2008 J.W. Dafoe Prize for At the Sharp End and the 2009 Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Non-Fiction for Shock Troops. In 2013, he received the Pierre Berton Award for popularizing Canadian history and was recently inducted into the Order of Canada.

The Battle of the Bulge was Hitler's last throw of the dice,his final chance to turn back the Allied invasion of occupied Europe.His plan was to use the severe winter conditions of the Ardennes to ground the allied airforce and push two Panzer armies through the vital supply port of Antwerp. This move,he hoped,would be fatal to the Allies and force them back into the Channel.He was confounded.For the US Army,this was the largest land battle of WW2,involving 500,000 Americans,600,000 German troops and 55,000 British.An atmosphere of fear and suspicion prevailed; communications were cut,massacres reported and German Special Forces in enemy uniforms infiltrated the Allied ranks.In just over a month of fighting both sides suffered immense losses - around 80,000 each.With them went Hitler's chance of saving both himself and the Third Reich.Here are the personal experiences of military planners,soldiers, generals,and civilians,recorded in contemporary letters,diaries,army reports and recorded interviews; a unique insight into a decisive turning point on the road to victory.

At Christmas 1914 on the Western Front, British and German soldiers sang carols to each other and fraternized openly in No Man's Land. They exchanged souvenirs,took photographs and in many cases freely admitted they had no wish to make war.A British officer who took part in the Christmas Truce wrote (thus reversing an old saying) 'It wasn't war,but it was magnificent.' People who find no interest in tales of battles and campaigns are drawn to the story of the Christmas Truce,yet among the thousands of books on the Great War,there has never been one on this highly emotive and fascinating subject.This book is intended to fill the gap.Its authors demonstrate that the truce was much more extensive,involved many more and lasted far longer than has hitherto been realized.In some areas,it was not until February 1915 that war began again in earnest and it was characterized in many cases by the most astonishing friendliness and courtesy between opposing trenches. The authors who also collaborated in the BBC television documentary 'Peace in No Man's Land' have undertaken a far-reaching programme of research.They have combed the war diaries of units involved,talked to participants,collected a remarkable range of contemporary letters and journals and even unearthed some amusing anecdotes. "One human episode amid all the atrocities",was Conan Doyle's verdict on the Christmas Truce - and it is the human aspect which the authors believe give it its particular significance and appeal. 'It is' they suggest,'perhaps the best and most heartening Christmas story of modern times.'

Commanded by the brilliant but unorthodox General WJ 'Bill' Slim,the British 14th - known now as the 'Forgotten Army' - took on the Japanese entrenched in Burma in 1944.A vital mission,Slim's bloody,t ense and fraught victory on the mainland would never have been achieved were it not for the dispatching of heroic Army and Navy soldiers who stole quietly along the rivers and onto the islands along the eastern coast of Burma to open the way for a strategic turning point - as vital as El Alamein in the Western Desert or the D-Day landings in Normandy. Battling against the hated Japanese,as well as some of the deadliest insects,animals and diseases known to man,in the thick,dense jungle of the Arakan,units of the Royal Marines and Royal Navy were helped by a motley collection of daring seamen. It is these men - these Banzai Hunters - who fought for every inch of the Arakan coast in amphibious and covert attacks on land,to engage the Japanese on a second front while the troops of the Allied 14th Army in India struck south to retake Burma.Like the exploits of the soldiers of the 'Forgotten Army' - so named because their story has always taken second place to the achievements in Europe - it is also a little episode and has been compiled from a mixture of official documents,contemporary reports and the recollections of those who were there. Together these men from all over the British Commonwealth engaged in a vital campaign of audacity and courage in the dangerous waterways,hostile stretches of swamp and jungle and all along the coast of the Arakan that has earned them the enduring epithet The Banzai Hunters,and a place in military history.

For over ten years in the mid 17th century,the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland were locked in a bloody,brutal struggle.What began as a clash of ideologies became a battle for identity as English forces gradually overcame Irish and Scottish resistance,paving the way for the political tensions within today's United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. What impact did this decade of civil strife have on the peoples of England,Ireland and Scotland,particularly on the men,women,and children caught up in the conflict?
