A Kind of Loving
A Kind Of Loving
£8.99
Stan Barstow`s landmark ` Brit-Lit` novel of the sixties immortalized Vic Brown, the amiable working class lad from the North & led the way for author`s like Nick Hornby writing similar slice-of-life drama. Still as fresh & alive today, it spawned two sequels: The Watchers on the Shore (1966) & The Right True End (1976). First published in 1960, it has long been used as a set text in British schools. It has also been translated at various times into a film starring Alan Bates (1962) of the same name, a television series (1973) starring Clive Wood, a radio play & a stage play. A Kind of Loving was the first of a trilogy, published over the course of sixteen years, that followed hero Vic Brown through marriage, divorce & a move from the mining town of Cressley to London. This new edition

A Kingdom of Their Own: The Family Karzai and the Afghan Disaster
A Kingdom Of Their
Own: The Family Karzai
And The
Afghan Disaster
£20.00
The Afghan war will be remembered for its politics more than its combat. There were few, if any, major battles. The longest war in American history has left 1, 800 U.S. troops dead, fewer than half the number killed in Iraq. The violence is mostly confined to the farmlands, deserts, & mountains, playing out in small ambushes, hit-&-run attacks, & assassinations. The United States came to Afghanistan on a simple mission: to avenge the September 11 attacks & drive the Taliban from power. This took less than two months. The story of the next decade is about how the ensuing fight for power & money
- the power & money supplied to one of the poorest nations on earth in ever-greater amounts
- left the region even more dangerous than before the first troops arrived. At the centre of this story is the Karzai family. The president & his brothers began the war as symbols of a new Afghanistan
- moderate, educated, fluent with East & West
- the antithesis of the brutish & backwards Taliban regime. Now, with the war in shambles, they are in open conflict with each other & their Western allies. In their experience one can find a war`s worth of mistakes, squandered hopes, & wasted chances. Nothing encapsulates the essence of the war`s trajectory
- & the descent from optimism to despair, friends to enemies
- as neatly as the story of the Karzai family itself.
