When times are hard, and the outlook looks bleak, there are few things as comforting as a really good meal. And in the Profile catalogue, you’ll find exactly that: a smorgasbord of reading pleasure, an all-you-can-eat buffet of food for thought. Here are things to nourish and sustain – and to quench the most raging thirst for knowledge. We’d suggest that you begin with a handful of tasty mixed facts from The Economist’s quizzical Uncommon Knowledge, or a refreshing shot of acid wit from Shaun Bythell’s Confessions of a Bookseller. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could sample some of the inhabitants of Reef Life or surrender to the pleasures of the unexpected with Michael Rosen’s Book of Play. We’re not short on the serious and meaty, either: sink your teeth into Great State, Timothy Brook’s magisterial history of China, Breaking and Mending, Joanna Cannon’s searing memoir of doctor burnout, or John Burnside’s lyrical survey of twentieth-century poetry. For after-dinner conversation, explore the delights of a dead language with Nicola Gardini’s Long Live Latin, debate the merits (or otherwise) of our leaders with David Runciman’s Where Power Stops, or take a leaf out of Christopher McDougall’s book Running with Sherman and strike up an unlikely friendship with a recalcitrant donkey. And if that doesn’t leave you feeling fortified, we have tales of true grit in Emily Chappell’s Where There’s a Will, stoic wisdom in Ryan Holiday’s Stillness is the Key … and soothing balm in the form of Stuart Heritage’s Bedtime Stories for Worried Liberals. Happy reading! ANDREW FRANKLIN PUBLISHER

Michael Rosen’s Book of Play Why play really matters, and 101 ways to get more of it in your life
These days, we seem to have less and less time for play. Safe spaces for play in cities and towns are dwindling. At school, children are seen as exam apprentices. At home, kids and adults alike are glued to screens. We’ve forgotten how to be bored. In this book Michael Rosen explores the influence of play on everyone from Shakespeare to Dickens and Dalí and delves into the history of play and child development – from puns and nonsense to improvisation, physical toys and even computer games. Above all, play should be fun, and this book is full of silliness and laughter. Every chapter features Michael’s exercises and prompts for creative indoor and outdoor play for all the family – with specially designed pages for scribbling, word play exercises and more, all stunningly illustrated by Charlotte Trounce.

Breaking and Mending A memoir of burnout, recovery and the journey to become a doctor
‘A few years ago, I found myself in A&E. I had never felt so ill. I was mentally and physically broken. So fractured, I hadn’t eaten properly or slept well, or even changed my expression for months. I sat in a cubicle, behind paper-thin curtains … and I shook with the effort of not crying. I was an inch away from defeat … but I knew I had to carry on. Because I wasn’t the patient. I was the doctor.’ In this intimate memoir, Joanna Cannon tells her own story as a junior doctor, and the stories of many others like her, facing the extraordinary and sometimes daunting landmarks along the way: from the first shock of holding another person’s life in your hands, to moments of crisis under the strain. In a profession where weakness remains a taboo, and mental health is rarely addressed, this book brings this tension to life with vivid, human stories, and offers hope for how we can better care for those we rely on to care for us.
Joanna Cannon is the bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep, which was published in fifteen languages, and sold over 250,000 copies in the UK alone. Jo’s love of narrative had always drawn her to psychiatry but it wasn’t until her thirties that she decided to go back to university to study medicine. Before specialising in psychiatry, she rotated through a series of hospital jobs, from the chaos of A&E to the handkerchief quiet of palliative care. @JoannaCannon

Fracture Trauma, Success and the Origins of Greatness Can a traumatic childhood hold the key to future success? In this vivid collective biography, Matthew Parris investigates What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It’s a saying so familiar that it’s almost a cliché – and yet one we often feel to be profoundly true. While presenting Great Lives on Radio 4, Matthew Parris noticed a trend in the lives of the exceptional men and women the programme covered: many of them had been marked by extreme trauma and deprivation. They seemed to have succeeded not only in spite of their backgrounds, but perhaps even because of them. Charlie Chaplin spent much of his childhood in a south London workhouse, while Ada Lovelace was paralysed at the age of thirteen. Edward Lear was the last of twenty-one children, and suffered from severe epilepsy and depression, and Coco Chanel was abandoned by her father in a freezing-cold church orphanage. Yet they would all grow up to be not just successful, but to create paradigm shifts in their fields, and create work that still influences our lives today.

JOHN BURNSIDE
The Music of Time Poetry in the Twentieth Century The first of its kind: a major new assessment from a prize-winning poet and academic Though we might not realise it, our collective memory of the twentieth century is defined by the poets who lived and wrote in it. At every significant turning point we find them, pen in hand, fingers poised at the typewriter, ready to distil the essence of the moment, from the muddy wastes of the Western Front to the vast reckoning that came with the end of empire. Bringing together poets from times and places as diverse as Tsarist Russia, 1960s America and Ireland at the height of the Troubles, The Music of Time reveals how poets engaged with and shaped the most important issues of their times – and were in their turn affected by their context and dialogue with each other. This is a major work of scholarship, that on every page bears witness to the transformative beauty and power of poetry.
John Burnside worked in computer systems analysis for a decade and became a full-time writer in 1994. John has published fourteen books of poetry, and won the Geoffrey Faber Prize, the Whitbread Poetry Prize, the Petrarca Preis and, most recently, the Forward and T. S. Eliot Prizes for his poetry. He has also published eight novels and a memoir. He is Professor of English at the University of St Andrews.

Confessions of a Bookseller More from the bestselling author of The Diary of a Bookseller
‘Do you have a list of your books, or do I just have to stare at them?’ Last year, The Diary of a Bookseller introduced readers to The Bookshop, Wigtown – and its misanthropic bibliophile owner, Shaun Bythell. Dogged by financial problems, tormented by his customers and locked in a constant struggle with Amazon, Shaun’s hilarious dispatches from the frontline of bookselling were a huge hit. And now he’s back with more. Within the pages of Confessions of a Bookseller you’ll find stories both bizarre and heart-warming, from a possible haunting to ‘Granny’, Shaun’s neurotic new assistant who likes digging for river mud to make poultices. And through it all is threaded a passionate love of books and reading, from recommendations for comic novels to thoughts on Victorian book-binding techniques. The Diary of a Bookseller is soon to be a major TV drama produced by Annapurna Pictures.

Running with Sherman The Donkey Who Survived Against All Odds and Raced Like a Champion Bestselling author of Born to Run rehabilitates a donkey to winning success Christopher McDougall’s new running partner, Sherman, is ill-tempered, obstinate, and often so uncooperative that Christopher has to lead him with a rope. Sherman is also a donkey. After rescuing Sherman from a neglectful owner and almost certain death, Christopher McDougall plunges into the world of Burro Racing – running a marathon accompanied by a donkey. His aim is to rehabilitate Sherman, to give him purpose and to participate in the World Championship Pack Burro Race in Fairplay, Colorado, where the sport was invented. But along the way, as McDougall learns how to care for his new companion and meets the men and women who have fallen in love with Burro Racing, he discovers how working with animals can teach profound lessons about what it means to be human. Christopher McDougall is a former war correspondent for the Associated Press and author of the international bestseller Born to Run, which is currently being adapted into a film, and Natural Born Heroes. He runs with Sherman among the Amish farms around his home in rural Pennsylvania.

The Gravediggers The Last Winter of the Weimar Republic The eerily familiar political drama that defined the world’s fate in the twentieth century November 1932. The Weimar Republic is teetering. The economy is in ruins, the political climate is becoming increasingly brutal and street battles rage between Communists and National Socialists. In the Reichstag and the Chancellery, fixers, adventurers, extremists and demagogues are engaged in a ruthless power struggle, rife with feints, lies, fighting and deception. Over these few weeks, five men decide the fate of Germany. Along with the National Socialists Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, Chancellors Franz von Papen and Kurt von Schleicher spin a web of intrigue around the elderly President Paul von Hindenburg in a dramatic House of Cards-like scramble for power. Historians Rüdiger Barth and Hauke Friederichs have drawn on diaries, letters, little-known files and personal notes by a number of actors and observers to produce a thrilling day-by-day account of the final ten weeks of the Weimar Republic. The result is a colourful, multilayered portrait of a period that was by no means predestined to plunge into the abyss ... but now seems uncannily familiar.

Great State China and the World Eight centuries of Chinese history told through the stories of ordinary and exceptional people China achieved approximately its current borders in the thirteenth century and has maintained them ever since. Even the European empires at the height of their power could not move past coastal enclaves. Territorially, China remained China through the Ming, Qing, Republic, Occupation and turn to Communism. But, despite the desires of powerful people in the Great State, China has never been alone in the world. It has had to contend with raiders and invaders and the challenges of foreign traders and imperialists. Even the stability of the state’s border hides titanic shifts in the state’s organisation, regime, culture and foreign policy. Timothy Brook examines China’s relationship with the world from the Yuan through to the present by following the stories of ordinary and extraordinary people navigating the spaces where China meets the world. Timothy Brook was Shaw Professor of Chinese at Oxford, and is now professor of history at the University of British Columbia. He is the author of eight books on Chinese history, including Vermeer’s Hat and Mr Selden’s Map of China.

Where Power Stops The Making and Unmaking of Presidents and Prime Ministers The limits of the highest offices and those that hold them Lyndon Baines Johnson, Margaret Thatcher, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Barack Obama, Gordon Brown, Theresa May and Donald Trump: each had different motivations, methods and paths, but all sought the highest office. And yet when they reached their goal, they often found that the power they had imagined was illusory. Their visions of reform faltered. They faced bureaucratic obstructions, but often the biggest obstruction was their own character. However, their personalities could help them as much as hurt them. Professor David Runciman tackles the limitations of the highest offices and how the histories of those who hold them help to define their successes and failures. Together, this collection of essays first published in the LRB seeks to show what characters are most effective in these offices, providing a blueprint for good and effective leadership in an age lacking in good leaders. David Runciman is Professor of Politics at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of six previous books, including How Democracy Ends, Political Hypocrisy, The Confidence Trap and Politics (for the Ideas in Profile series). He writes about politics for the LRB and hosts the acclaimed weekly podcast Talking Politics. £14.99 256pp Demy hardback ISBN: 978 1 78816 333 0 eISBN: 978 1 78283 599 8 Politics, History August 2019 World Tr US 10

Stillness is the Key Slowing down will get you ahead - powerful new wisdom from the bestselling author of Ego is the Enemy Throughout history, there’s been one indelible quality that great leaders, makers, artists and fighters have shared. The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to be steady, focused and calm in a constantly busy world. This quality is urgently necessary today, and Holiday shows it is entirely attainable. Just as Winston Churchill used bricklaying as a time to recharge and reflect, or Oprah Winfrey learnt deep empathy from her quiet childhood, we can all benefit from stillness to feed into our greater ambitions. Filled with wisdom and examples from historical and contemporary figures, this book shows how to cultivate this quality in your own life. Because stillness is not inactivity, but the doorway to the self-mastery, discipline and focus necessary to succeed in this competitive world. Ryan Holiday is the bestselling author of The Obstacle is the Way, Ego is the Enemy and The Daily Stoic among other books on marketing, culture and the human condition. His work has been translated into over thirty languages and his writing has appeared everywhere from The New York Times to Fast Company.

From the grandly ambitious to the truly devious, they illuminate a new side of warfare, revealing how a combination of desperation and innovation led not only to daring missions and brilliant technological advances, but to countless plans and experiments that failed spectacularly.

Sleightlet, a very simple goat’s cheese made with just a couple of bowls, a cloth and a spoon, is what people would have made around the time Stonehenge was built. In 1386 King Richard II bought 60 weys of cheese (about 4,500kg) from Ipswich for the English army. This marked the beginning of East Anglian domination of the British Isles cheese industry and, as they had already made the shift from sheep to cattle dairying, the domination of the cow. In 1618 a Welsh Justice of the Peace used cheese to identify the guilty party. If the defendant could not swallow the piece of ‘enchanted’ cheese, they were guilty. Today, Australian Dave Holton of Blackwoods Cheese makes a Greek feta-style cheese on a farm in Kent and names it after British convicts who were transported for stealing cheese.

A Cheesemonger’s History of The British Isles A celebration of cheese history, tradition and innovation guaranteed to leave you hungry for more Every cheese tells a story, whether it’s a fresh young goat’s cheese or a big beefy eighteen-month-old Cheddar. The flavour speaks to you about the place it was made, the season of its making and the craft of its maker. And each style of cheese reflects the culture of the people who first made it, and their place in history. This book tells the story of the British Isles – their peoples and their cheeses – from prehistoric Celts to medieval monks and postmodern foodies, and explains how key moments and major currents in our history affected and are often encapsulated by cheese. Ned Palmer also reveals where to find the best cheeses today, describes how they are made and introduces the eccentric cast of characters who make them. This is a cheesemonger’s odyssey, a celebration of history, tradition and innovation that is guaranteed to leave you hungry for more.
Ned Palmer is a philosopher, jazz musician and cheese historian. He spent seven years at Neal’s Yard Dairy before setting up the Cheese Tasting Company, which brings audiences delicious cheese (and craft ale) surprises alongside eccentric, eclectic and esoteric stories of the makers of great British and Irish cheeses, both ancient and modern.

Long Live Latin The Pleasures of a Useless Language The international bestseller that celebrates the beauty, passion and life lessons to be found in this not-so-dead language Virgil gave us the Aeneid, and Ovid the Metamorphoses; Lucretius analysed the material world and Caesar interrogated how we view reality through the lens of reason – but what does Latin offer us today? Often seen as the bulky relic of school curricula long forgotten, Latin seems to have lost its punch in the popular conscious. Oxford academic Nicola Gardini, however, argues the case for its lasting importance, offering a personal and passionate defence of the beauty and future of the language. Gardini encourages us to dig to the roots of our own language and examine how Latin has influenced the ways in which we communicate. Gardini’s instant bestseller is a spirited celebration of Latin’s cultural past, present and future.
Nicola Gardini teaches Italian literature at the University of Oxford. He is the author of three novels including The Lost Words of Amelia Lynd, which won the 2012 Viareggio Prize, and several collections of verse. He also co-edits the monthly magazine Poesia, based in Milan.

Imperial Tragedy From Constantine’s Empire to the Destruction of Roman Italy AD 363–568 Rome was not built in a day and did not fall in one In his previous work, Imperial Triumph, Michael Kulikowski examined how Rome maintained its primacy over Europe, North Africa and the Middle East for over two centuries, ending with the death of Julian the Apostate and the beginning of the East-West split. His follow up, Imperial Tragedy, covers the definitive split, the Vandal sack of Rome, and the crumbling of the West from empire into kingdoms, first nominally under Imperial rule and then, one by one, beyond it. Full of palace intrigue, religious conflicts, military history, as well as details of the shifts in social, religious and political structures, Imperial Tragedy contests the idea that Rome fell due to external invasions. Instead, it focuses on how the choices and conditions of those living within the empire led to its fall. For it was not a single catastrophic moment that broke the empire but a creeping process; by the time people understood that Rome had fallen, the West of the empire had long since broken the imperial yoke. The latest volume in Profile’s History of the Ancient World series, this is serious, intelligent, sweeping history at its very best. Michael Kulikowski is Professor of History and Classics at Penn State University, where his research and writing ranges widely across ancient and early medieval history. He is a regular contributor to the London Review of Books. His books include Rome’s Gothic Wars and Imperial Triumph.

This Life Why Mortality Makes Us Free Existence is the only thing we possess: it is finite and it is precious Would Heaven be boring? Do you want to live forever? If this is all there is, what should we do with it? Join the Swedish philosopher Martin Hägglund on an original inquiry into the deepest questions of existence. To embrace the freedom that life grants us, Hägglund argues, we must rid ourselves of religious fantasies of immortality. Our time in this world is the only thing of value we can ever possess but capitalism constantly beguiles us to steal it away. Via profound engagements with some of the greatest philosophers and theologians in history, including Aristotle, St Augustine, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Hegel and Marx, Hägglund takes aim at both religion and capitalism, stripping away their many subtle illusions to return us to life itself, in all its fragility and uncertainty. ‘A splendid primer in the importance of authentic freedom.’ Yanis Varoufakis, former Greek minister of finance and author of Adults in the Room

Going Home Raja Shehadeh reflects on ageing, failure, the occupation and the changing face of Ramallah, Palestine
In Going Home, Raja Shehadeh walks around Ramallah and notes the changing face of the city he calls home, from the rise of Islamism to the rise of tower blocks, to the gradual entrenchment of the occupation in every aspect of life. Throughout, he remembers what was, and grapples with personal ageing as well as ideas of failure. This is perhaps the most viscerally painful Shehadeh book since Strangers in the House. ‘In the dark agony of the Palestine–Israel conflict, Raja Shehadeh offers a rare gift: a lucid, honest, unsparing voice. His humanity and wisdom are invaluable.’ Claire Messud, on Where the Line is Drawn
Raja Shehadeh is Palestine’s leading writer. He is also a lawyer and the founder of the pioneering Palestinian human rights organisation Al-Haq.

Reef Life An Underwater Memoir The fragile yet stunning reality of the world’s coral reefs Reef Life is the story of how Callum Roberts, Britain’s pre-eminent marine conservation scientist, fell in love with coral reefs and embarked on a thirty-year career. He began as a young university student who had never been abroad, spending a summer helping to map the unknown reefs of Saudi Arabia. And from that moment, when Callum first cleared his mask, he’s never looked back, moving on to survey Sharm El Sheikh, and from there diving and researching all over the world, including Australia’s imperilled Great Barrier Reef and the more resilient reefs of the Caribbean. His stories are astonishing, lyrical and laced with a wonderful wry humour – and they allow us privileged access to, and understanding of, the science of our oceans and reefs. Reading this book will also commit readers to support Callum’s goal to get marine reserve status for ten per cent of the world’s ocean.

PETER RIDDELL
Fifteen Minutes of Power The Uncertain Life of British Ministers Drawing from interviews with former ministers and their diaries, Peter Riddell reveals their fraught existence The number of ministers in the UK government expands and contracts based on the political needs of the prime minister. Within their portfolios those MPs and Lords are immensely powerful – able to reshape whole sectors of British society, grant government contracts and licences, and intervene throughout the country. Yet, few members of the public could name every single minister and fewer still could describe what they do. We like to imagine ministers are competent, prepared and in control, and judge them as though they are. Often they are none of those things. These men and women serve at the pleasure of the prime minister. Any misstep can invite media attention, public outcry and their swift departure. At the same time, their resignations can shatter political alliances and bring down governments. They are both immensely powerful and precarious.

World History in Figures Facts and Figures from the Dawn of Time History as you have never seen it How much richer is the average European than the average ancient Roman? Who was the wealthiest person ever? How much did life expectancy change between the Egyptian empire and the unification of England? If you find the Pocket World in Figures series fascinating, World History in Figures will blow you away. Drawing on cutting-edge scholarship of world history and economics, Peter Turchin and Dan Hoyer reveal the progress of civilisation by the numbers. This work uses graphs, charts, maps and other graphics to show the rise and fall of trade networks and empires and the spread of technologies across the world, illustrating just how far we’ve come. For instance, did you know that the Mongol conquests resulted in a perceptible drop in carbon emissions? That malaria has been the most common cause of death? World History in Figures promises to change how we think about history and the economy.
Peter Turchin is the founder of a new transdisciplinary field of Cliodynamics, which uses the tools of complexity science and cultural evolution to study the dynamics of historical empires and modern nation states. He has authored seven books.
Dan Hoyer works with Peter Turchin on the Deep Roots of the Modern World, part of the SESHAT: Global History Databank Project, a large-scale, interdisciplinary and comparative project hosted by the Evolution Institute and the University of Oxford.

Need for the Bike A cycling classic: witty and insightful truths of bikes and riding
‘I ride to rest and to tire myself out; I ride to do myself good and to do myself harm.’ ... one of the many cycling paradoxes explored in this unique and delightful book. ‘I’ve never got over this miracle.’ Starting with the childhood joy of learning to ride a bike, Need for the Bike goes on to relate the agony of climbing, the angst of crashing, and all the other universal moments and feelings which all cyclists will recognise. ‘To get on a bike is to take possession of the landscape.’ The sounds, smells, pains and joys of riding with friends or alone, finding things on the road; getting lost, ‘re-reading’ familiar routes; Paul Fournel’s classic comes as close as any book has to an encapsulation of why we all need the bike …

Where There’s a Will Discovering Endurance in a Race Across Europe Emily Chappell’s story of transformation into a cross-continental bike racer, testing the limits of her resilience and endurance Despite seeing herself as distinctly normal, Emily Chappell has done remarkable things, including being the first female finisher in the infamous Transcontinental Race in 2016, which spanned the width of Europe. The story of that race, in which she rode 3,952 km in thirteen days and ten hours, sleeping in short bursts whenever exhaustion took her, is the centrepiece of a narrative of resilience and joy on a bike. Emily examines the sometimes competing natures of comradeship, competition, vulnerability and will in a nuanced, insightful and inspiring tale of endurance and achievement.
Emily Chappell worked as a cycle courier in London for many years, telling her story in What Goes Around. Since then she has explored the world on her bike and committed to supporting others to do the same, as a founder of The Adventure Syndicate. @EmilyChappell

Surfacing A new collection from the prize-winning author of Findings and Sightlines
Under the ravishing light of an Alaskan sky, objects are spilling from the thawing tundra, linking a Yup’ik village to its hunter-gatherer past. In the shifting sand dunes of a Scottish shoreline, impressively preserved hearths and homes of Neolithic farmers are uncovered. In a grandmother’s disordered mind, memories surface of a long-ago mining accident and a ‘mither who was kind’. In this luminous new essay collection, acclaimed author Kathleen Jamie visits archeological sites and mines her own memories – of her grandparents, of youthful travels – to explore what surfaces and what reconnects us to our past. As always, she looks to the natural world for her markers and guides. Most movingly, she considers, as her father dies and her children leave home, the surfacing of an older, less tethered sense of herself.
Kathleen Jamie was born in the west of Scotland. She has written three works of non-fiction: Among Muslims (2002), an acclaimed travel narrative; Findings (2005) and Sightlines (2012), both ground breaking collections of nature and travel writing. She lives in Fife and is a Professor of Creative Writing at Stirling University.

Letters from Tove Selected by Boel Westin and Helen Svensson A revelation and a gift for all Tove Jansson and Moomin fans Out of the thousands of letters Tove Jansson wrote, a cache remains that she addressed to her family, her dearest confidantes, and her lovers, male and female. Into these she spilled her innermost thoughts, defended her ideals and revealed her heart. To read these letters is both an act of startling intimacy and a rare privilege. Penned with grace and humour, Letters from Tove offers an almost seamless commentary on Tove Jansson’s life as it unfolds within Helsinki’s bohemian circles and her summer island home. Spanning fifty years between her art studies and the height of her Moomin fame, we share with Tove the bleakness of war; the hopes for love that were dashed and renewed, and her determined attempts to establish herself as an artist. Vivid, inspiring and shining with integrity, Letters from Tove shows precisely how an aspiring and courageous young artist can evolve into a very great one.
Tove Jansson (1914–2001) was the acclaimed Finnish artist and author who gained world renown as the creator of the Moomin stories. Professor Boel Westin is the author of Tove Jansson: Life, Art ,Words (Sort of Books, 2014) and Helen Svensson was Jansson’s last editor at Schildts. Both were her trusted friends. Sarah Death is an award-winning translator.

British Forests The History of the Forestry Commission 1919–2019 Marking a century of dedicated conservation work with Britain’s woodland Founded in 1919 to deal with the chronic timber shortage after the First World War, the Forestry Commission has developed from a government department preoccupied with supply into a leading environmental organisation that champions the landscape and encourages wildlife and public access. The sheer scale of the organisation between and after the wars meant that it built its own roads and bridges, constructed and supported entire villages and planted over two million acres of forest. Published to coincide with the centenary of the Commission, British Forests examines not only its unique history but also the Commission’s role in research, and the promotion of tree planting in both cities and countryside. The book features a gazetteer of the Commission’s forests and beautiful botanical illustrations of trees from its pinetum at Bedgebury in Kent.
The Forestry Commission is the government department responsible for protecting, expanding and promoting the sustainable management of woodlands and increasing their value to society and the environment.

British Forces in Germany 1945-2019 The Lived Experience The official history marking the end of British Army operations in Germany, publishing to coincide a National Army Museum exhibition When Field Marshal Montgomery took the German surrender at Lüneburg on 4 May 1945, little could he have imagined that British troops would still be stationed there under his crossed swords flag more than seventy-five years later. During this period, the shape, size and structure of the British Army has evolved constantly, with Germany serving as both a base for operations and, in time, becoming a second home for many soldiers. With the departure of the last major unit back to the UK planned for 2019, the book will mark the legacy of this important time in the Army’s history, and coincide with the opening of a major new exhibition at the National Army Museum. A lavishly illustrated military and social history, the book covers important military strategy, political events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Army operations such as those in Eastern Europe. Crucially, it also tells the story of the personal experiences of British soldiers and their increasing integration with the German population.
Peter Johnston is Head of Collections Research and Academic Access at the National Army Museum. He is a historian and curator with a particular interest in military history, culture, veterans and propaganda.
