The author has written, at times from the heart, about the joys, responsibilities and pain of becoming a smallholder. She has covered each of the major aspects of smallholding in ten chapters, followed by a very helpful glossary and further information.
The story of this extraordinary ship is told very ably by the author and lavishly illustrated with fine colour photographs and excellent drawings and sketches. In addition to describing the methods of construction, the author has included much detail on the work to maintain and preserve Victory. It is difficult to imagine any self-respecting private library not including a copy of this Owners’ Workshop Manual. No other work has captured the full history of this outstanding warship and provided an anatomy of great detail and clarity. If a novice in naval history was restricted to buying just one book, this is the book to buy. Highly commended.

This is the second edition of a book originally published in 1997 and has been updated and expanded. For many, aircraft hijacking and sabotage is a relatively recent phenomena connected with Arab terrorism. As his book demonstrates, it is risk that dates back to the early days of passenger aircraft.
Lavish illustration with photographs, drawings and sketches matches concise and highly informative text. The Sherman is an interesting subject because there are still numbers of this famous armoured vehicle in various stages of restoration and the prospect that unrestored examples may still exist, together with stocks of spares still to be discovered at the back of some dusty warehouse.
