To Hell and Back: Europe, 1914-1949
To Hell And Back:
Europe, 1914-1949
£12.99
In the summer of 1914 most of Europe plunged into a war so catastrophic that it unhinged the continent`s politics & beliefs in a way that took generations to recover from. The disaster terrified its survivors, shocked that a civilization that had blandly assumed itself to be a model for the rest of the world had collapsed into a chaotic savagery beyond any comparison. In 1939 Europeans would initiate a second conflict that managed to be even worse
- a war in which the killing of civilians was central & which culminated in the Holocaust. To Hell & Back tells this story with humanity, flair & originality. Kershaw gives a compelling narrative of events, but he also wrestles with the most difficult issues that the events raise
- with what it meant for the Europeans who initiated & lived through such fearful times
- & what this means for us.

To Infinity & Beyond

Che Guevara and Alberto Granado`s journey through South America in 1952 on a Norton 500 motorcycle is one of the most famous motorcycle journeys of all time.

Along the way, the pair did battle with some of the most dangerous environments on the planet including the Atacama Desert (the driest place on Earth) and the mighty Amazon River. To make it just a bit tougher they made the trip on authentic period
Nortons just like Che`s. Che`s motorcycle never completed the 5000 mile journey. Would Holmes and Sandford`s 60-year-old bikes survive this epic trip? `To infinity and beyond` relates the dangerous and exciting adventure as they follow Che`s route faithfully.
