    When Elizabeth became Queen the British Empire was turning into a Commonwealth. After the second World War and the new Labour Government Britain was changing fast. This touching programme covers the early years of Elizabeth before her father's death visibly in love with Philip; it moves through the cavalcade of respectful statesmen from Mandela to Clinton; from colonies to independence and the emergence of a multi-cultural British society.Her family has been surrounded by gossip though her own long marriage to Philip has largely escaped this. The Queen's stability and continuity has allowed Britain to shed an empire and create a new and prosperous identity quite against all the odds and expectations of most leading commentators. From Churchill to Blair and presiding over a country immeasurably different since the start of her reign Queen Elizabeth's achievement may now be seen.

    Under My Skin
    Oxfam Online Shop Product Information
    This first part of Doris Lessing's autobiography covers her African childhood and youth, her involvement in communist politics, and her departure for England and a new life. It is a self-portrait of a woman who lived through "an extraordinary time, the end of the British Empire in Africa".;Being lifted high up onto her father's horse, watching ostriches high-stepping over the empty distances of the Cape, travelling in ox carts to the new African farm with trunks full of Liberty material and English silver - so begins Doris Lessing's childhood.;Born in 1919, into the aftermath of World War I, Doris Lessing was the daughter of middle-class English parents lured by the false promises of the Empire Exhibition to seek their fortune in African farming. For her parents, life in dry, dusty Africa never fulfilled its expectations, but for Doris Lessing, her early life in Southern Rhodesia, with its contradictions and complexities, proved to be fundamental to her evolution as a writer.;Readers are taken through her childhood and early youth on the farm, first marriage, the rapturous births of her children, the abandonment of her family to gain independence and a political life, and her second marriage to Gottfried Lessing, an authoritarian, rigorous communist. The book ends as she loses hope of ever changing Africa, and prepares to leave for England with the manuscript of her first novel, "The Grass is Springing" - the key to a new life. Blank page at front has been torn out. Small amount of creasing to top of jacket, and a little foxing to top edge. Otherwise in excellent condition

    Listening to this selection of songs is to take a journey through time. Listening to this selection of songs is to take a journey through time. 'The White Cliffs of Dover' and 'We'll Meet Again' became two of the many evergreens made popular by young British singer Vera Lynn during the dark days of the Second World War. In 1941 she achieved her big break on the BBC reading messages from wives and girlfriends to servicemen overseas on the popular radio show 'Sincerely Yours', featuring 'Yours' as her theme tune. This established her as a top-of-the-bill personality with nationwide popularity as the Forces' Sweetheart. In 1975, she received a fitting tribute when named Dame of the British Empire. This 3-CD set charts a remarkable career that continues to shine and garner wide interest today.

    The Making Of Modern Britain
    £6.39



    The Making Of Modern Britain
    Waterstones Product Information
    You save: £2.60 In "The Making of Modern Britain", Andrew Marr paints a fascinating portrait of life in Britain during the first half of the twentieth century as the country recovered from the grand wreckage of the British Empire. Between the death of Queen Victoria and the end of the Second World War, the nation was shaken by war and peace. The two wars were the worst we had ever known and the episodes of peace among the most turbulent and surprising. As the political forum moved from Edwardian smoking rooms to an increasingly democratic Westminster, the people of Britain experimented with extreme ideas as they struggled to answer the question 'How should we live?' Socialism? Fascism? Feminism? Meanwhile, fads such as eugenics, vegetarianism and nudism were gripping the nation, while the popularity of the music hall soared. It was also a time that witnessed the birth of the media as we know it today and the beginnings of the welfare state. Beyond trenches, flappers and Spitfires, this is a story of strange cults and economic madness, of revolutionaries and heroic inventors, sexual experiments and raucous stage heroines.From organic food to drugs, nightclubs and celebrities to package holidays, crooked bankers to sleazy politicians, the echoes of today's Britain ring from almost every page.

    Empire Of The Sun - Harper Perennial Modern Classics
    Waterstones Product Information
    You save: £2.25 The heartrending story of a British boy's four year ordeal in a Japanese prison camp during the Second World War. Based on J. G. Ballard's own childhood, this is the extraordinary account of a boy's life in Japanese-occupied wartime Shanghai -- a mesmerising, hypnotically compelling novel of war, of starvation and survival, of internment camps and death marches. It blends searing honesty with an almost hallucinatory vision of a world thrown utterly out of joint. Rooted as it is in the author's own disturbing experience of war in own time, it is one of a handful of novels by which the twentieth century will be not only remembered but judged.

    The Burma Campaign: Disaster Into Triumph 1942-45
    Waterstones Product Information
    You save: £2.20 Often described as 'the forgotten war', the Burma Campaign was one of the most punishing and protracted military adventures of World War Two. It has become notorious for the ingenious tactics used by Britain, America and their allies on the one hand and the Japanese and their allies on the other, as well as for the atrocious conditions that had to be endured by both sides. Seasonal monsoon rains - which allowed effective campaigning for little more than half the year - as well as famine, disease, snakes and crocodiles all bore heavily on the troops. Impenetrable jungle, poor transport infrastructure and the Allied preoccupation with the war in Europe made this the longest single campaign fought by the British in the Second World War. It is against this epic backdrop that Frank Mc Lynn constructs the dramatic story of the four larger-than-life commanders directing the Allied effort: Louis Mountbatten, Orde Wingate, Joseph Stilwell and William Slim. Strikingly original in its approach, the book explores the Campaign through the prism of these four men and their often stormy relationship.From 1942 and the greatest defeat for British arms in the history of the Empire, through the crucial simultaneous battles of Imphal and Kohima - 'the Stalingrad of the East' - and on to ultimate victory in 1945, this is a vivid, brutal and enthralling account. By telling it through the interactions and antagonisms of its principal players, we see how the plans, designs and strategies of generals and politicians were translated into a hideous reality for the men on the ground.
