Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Letters from a Lost Generation by Alan Bishop and Mark Bostridge. Summary: This poignant work collects correspondence written from 1913 to 1918 between Vera Brittain and four young men -- her fiance Roland Leighton, her younger brother Edward and their two close friends, Victor Richardson and Geoffrey Thurlow -- who were all killed in action during World War I. The correspondence presents a remarkable and profoundly moving portrait of five idealistic youths caught up in the cataclysm of war. Spanning the duration of the war, the letters vividly convey the uncertainty, confusion, and almost unbearable suspense of the tumultuous war years. They offer important historical insights by illuminating both male and female perspectives and allow the reader to witness and understand the Great War from a variety of viewpoints, including those of the soldier in the trenches, the volunteer nurse in military hospitals, and even the civilian population on the home front. As Brittain wrote to Roland Leighton in 1915, shortly after he arrived on the Western "Nothing in the papers, not the most vivid and heartbreaking descriptions, have made me realize war like your letters." Yet this collection is, above all, a dramatic account of idealism, disillusionment, and personal tragedy as revealed by the voices of four talented schoolboys who went almost immediately from public school in Britain to the battlefields of France, Belgium, and Italy. Linking each of their compelling stories is the passionate and eloquent voice of Vera Brittain, who gave up her own studies to enlist in the armed services as a nurse. As World War I fades from living memory, these letters are a powerful and stirring testament to a generation forever shattered and haunted by grief, loss, and promise unfulfilled.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 3rd Edition. VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Steam Coasters and Short Sea Traders by C.V. Waine and R.S. Fenton Summary: Steam Coasters and Short Sea Traders is a detailed maritime history and reference work about the small cargo steamships that operated around the coasts of Britain and nearby European waters during the late 19th and 20th centuries. The book examines the development, design, operation, and economic importance of steam coasters, the "workhorses" of coastal trade. The authors, Charles V. Waine and R. S. Fenton, focus on how these vessels carried coal, grain, timber, oil, and general cargo between British ports and across the North Sea and Irish Sea. The book explains how coasters evolved from small Victorian steamers into more efficient interwar and postwar cargo ships, reflecting advances in marine engineering, shipbuilding, and cargo handling. Key themes include: • The transition from sail to steam in coastal shipping. • Regional shipbuilding traditions in Britain. • The economic role of short-sea trade in industrial Britain. • Specialized vessel types such as colliers, tankers, and the famous Clyde "puffers." • The daily working life of crews and operators. • The gradual decline of steam coasters due to motor ships, containerization, and changing freight systems. The book is especially valued for its extensive illustrations, technical drawings, ship plans, and colour profiles by Waine. Reviewers and booksellers often describe it as both a historical study and a visual reference work for maritime enthusiasts and ship historians. Authors: C.V. Waine and R.S.

Waine; Waine Research Publications, Albrighton UK, 1990. First printing. From the blurb Captain Jim MacRae spent most of his sea-going career aboard the Thames up-river colliers carrying coal to the London power stations from South Wales and the North East coal ports. As the collier fleets began to vanish one by one he set about preserving their history and that of the harbours at which they loaded and discharged. Charles Waine who had similar interests centered on the Irish Sea coasters and colliers joined him in the project to produce a companion volume to Steam Coasters & Short Sea Traders. With the untimely death of Captain MacRae it was left to Dr. Charles Waine to complete the project.
