ATLANTIS The story of a German Surface Raider by Mohr and Sellwood Review from Amazon........ The story of Nazi Germany\'s most successful commerce raider of World War Two, sinking over 160,000 tons of Allied shipping. The Atlantis sank twenty-two British and Allied ships during its 110,000 miles and 602 days continuously - at sea until she was sunk by HMS Devonshire. Her exploits in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans over almost two years created huge problems for the Allies as they tried to find the mystery ship with twenty-six disguises. Sinking ship after ship, Atlantis also searched them for documents. Finding secret files on the Automedon regarding British troop dispositions in the Far East, this document hastened Japan\'s entry into the war. Eventually sunk in November 1941, the 350 crew of Atlantis, as Ship 16 had been named, were rescued by U-boat which towed them to the safety of the supply ship Python. Sunk again, four U-boats eventually took the survivors of both Atlantis and Python to safety in France. The story is told by the ship\'s First Officer and was recounted from his diaries kept aboard the Atlantis slightly grubby, minor wear with tears to spine of jacket This edition published by Werner Laurie in 1955, still in print

MY FATHER, THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS the Life and Times of an MI5 Officer by Nicholas Reed.With 160 illustrations. Major Ronnie Reed was Case Officer for Agent Zigzag, and the face behind Operation Mincemeat. He is introduced through a collection of recently released reports and photos from the National Archives, and intimate family snaps. How did this young man, with no money and minimal qualifications, reach such an important position in his twenties? Why did Agent Zigzag give Ronnie his Iron Cross, awarded to Zigzag by Hitler himself? And how, within ten years, did Ronnie find himself heading the anti-Russian department of MI5, dealing with notorious spies like Philby, Burgess and Maclean? In an interview filmed in 1994, shortly before Ronnie s death, his son Nicholas learnt his story in detail.

Unknown year of manufacture but a very nice patina and look to the item, purchased in Moscow in the 1970's At the end of 1916, the ship was moved from the Baltic to Saint Petersburg (then Petrograd) for a major repair. The city was brimming with revolutionary ferment and part of her crew joined the 1917 February Revolution. A revolutionary committee was created on the ship (Aleksandr Belyshev was elected its captain). Most of the crew joined the Bolsheviks, who were preparing for a Communist revolution. On 25 October 1917, the refusal of an order for the Aurora to take to sea sparked the October Revolution. At 9.45 p.m. on that date, a blank shot from her forecastle gun signalled the start of the assault on the Winter Palace, which was to be the last episode of the October Revolution. Aurora's crew actually took part in the attack.
