ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1976). (1976) 1976 reprint. 8vo (148 x 234mm). Pp320. B/w photographs plates. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Good-plus in spine-faded dust-wrapper. As Sir Alec Douglas Home, Lord Home was Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister. His service in the army in the 1914-18 war, and subsequent long political career gave Home a ringside seat for all of the greatest upheavals of the twentieth century. Home's account of his upbringing in the Border Country "describes a background that has altered little for the last two centuries. But the scenes and characters of his public life, Munich and the Abdication, Chamberlain and Hitler, Baldwin and Churchill, De Gaulle and Mr. Gromyko, Khruschev and Kennedy, Vietnam and Rhodesia, Menzies and Walter Nash, Harold Macmillan and Pandit Nehru, are right up against the footlights of our time. There is a characteristic lightness and sureness in the author's portrayal of them. Lord Home brings to the convulsions of this fevered age the serene realism of a man who has observed nature long and closely and who knows his own mind." .…

Williams has been blessed with enough talents for half a dozen careers. Now a successful doctor who intends to specialize in sports injuries, his first success was as a singer, much in demand for his rendering of 'O for the wings of a dove' which he gave with an innocence many would not associate with the aggressive performances he was later to give on the rugby field. At seventeen he won the Wimbledon Junior Tennis title, by which time he was also playing in the Glamorgan Youth Orchestra as violinist. At nineteen, after learning his skills as a rugby player in the harsh school of Welsh rugby, he won his first full Welsh cap against Scotland in 1969. Since then he has gone from strength to strength, so that now only Barry John and Gareth Edwards are better known to rugby followers throughout the world. . . . In 1978 he was appointed captain of the Welsh team and in May 1979 finally retired from international rugby after a career which rightly earned him the reputation of being the greatest full-back in the world.".…
