Pacific Star 3NZ Division in the South Pacific in World War II Reg Newell Fighting alongside American forces, New Zealand soldiers mastered the complexities of amphibious and jungle warfare in one of the most gruelling campaigns of World War 2. This is their story.

The war in the South Pacific saw some of the most gruelling fighting of World War Two. Conditions were unpleasant ­ fetid heat, torrential downpours and hostile flora and fauna ­ while the Japanese enemy were ruthless and would often fight to the last man. Amphibious warfare, jungle warfare and the need to co­operate with their American allies all meant that extra demands were made on New Zealand soldiers.

Yet the war in the South Pacific came to be perceived as an easy war and, with the exception of Guadalcanal, was generally overlooked by historians. From ignorance of what the soldiers were called upon to endure, the notion arose that service in the South Pacific was somehow less worthy than the 'real war' in Europe against the Nazis. This attitude continued in the postwar world, and today the soldiers of 3NZ Division are all but forgotten.

Pacific Star sets the record straight, shedding new light on the sacrifices and tribulations which the soldiers of 3NZ Division had to endure in the service of the Allied cause. The book covers their initial deployment in Fiji and New Caledonia an...

Summary

Reg Newell has had a lifelong interest in military history. After gaining a master's degree through the American Military University, he completed a doctorate at Massey University on New Zealand's involvement in the South Pacific in World War Two. Pacific Star is based on his doctoral research. He is passionate about restoring the reputation of 3NZ Division and ensuring its feats are not forgotten. A lawyer for more than 30 years, he lives in Wellington.

Great Houses of London James Stourton, Fritz von der Schulenburg The story of the great houses of London, for the most part disguised behind sober facades, revealing the astonishing riches within.

Summary'This lavishly illustrated compendium suggest that the age of elegance endures' Mail on Sunday

The great houses of London represent one of the marvels of English architecture and yet they are almost entirely unknown. They are for the most part disguised behind sober facades but their riches within are astonishing.

There are many architectural wonders, among them Robert Adam's 20 St James's Square and William Burges's Tower House. Several ­ including Bridgewater House with its Raphaels and Titians ­ have held great art collections.

These are houses that hold extraordinary stories: half the Cabinet resigned after breakfast at Stratford House; and on 4 August 1914, at 9 Carlton House Terrace, then the German Embassy, young duty clerk Harold Nicholson deftly substituted one declaration of war for another.

Great Houses of London opens the door to some of the greatest and grandest houses in the world to tell the stories of their owners and occupants, artists and architects, their restoration, adaptation and change.

Contributor BioJAMES STOURTON is Chairman of Sotheby's UK. He writes regularly for The Times, the Daily Telegraph, The Independent, The Spectator and Apollo. Previous books include Great Smaller Museums of Europe (2003) and Great Collectors of Our Time (2007).

Riot On Sunset Strip Rock 'n' roll's Last Stand In Hollywood (Revised Edition) Domenic Priore, Arthur Lee A startling evocation of the social and artistic revolution that took place in Los Angeles in 1965­66 and gave birth to The Byrds, Love, The Doors, and more.

On the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles in 1965 and 1966 an electrifying scene appeared out of nowhere, exploded into creativity, and then, just as suddenly, vanished. So much remarkable music, art, and social revolution came from one place at one time, it's difficult now to grasp how it all happened.

This book tells the story of the astonishing time when rock 'n' roll displaced movies as the centre of action in Hollywood. From the moment The Byrds debuted at Ciro's on March 26th 1965­­with Bob Dylan joining them onstage­­right up to the demonstrations of November 1966, Sunset Strip nightclubs nurtured and broke The Doors, Love, Buffalo Springfield (featuring Neil Young and Stephen Stills), Frank Zappa's Mothers Of Invention, Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band, The Turtles, The Mamas & The Papas, and many others. The Strip was a hotbed for garage punk bands such as The Standells, The Electric Prunes, and The Leaves. Folk­rock and psychedelia were born there, while it was also a favourite hangout and inspiration for The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Velvet Underground.

Shelby and AC Cobra Brian Laban

In the new edition of this classic text, Brian Laban brings the story of the AC Cobra up to date. In the early 1960s, a flamboyant Texan, Carroll Shelby, dreamed of a special kind of sports car, a marriage of European style with lusty, affordable American V8 power. He took his dream forward and he persuaded British sports car specialist AC Cars to build his car, and US industry giant the Ford Motor Co to fund it. Its name also came to him in a dream ­ Cobra. The original production of the Cobra lasted just five years and encompassed barely a thousand cars built within the original framework. But it was only the beginning of a story that is still very much alive, encompassing 'continuations', spin­offs, and a massive worldwide replica industry. Shelby and AC Cobra details the man behind the cars, the story of their development and engineering, racing pedigree and owning and driving these powerful, iconic cars today.

Summary

Brian Laban has been writing about cars, the motor industry and motor sport for more than forty years, for magazines, newspapers, broadcast and online content. He has written around forty books, edited several magazines and worked with many car manufacturers and race teams. He is a member of the Guild of Motoring Writers, and member (and former chairman) of the Fleet Street Group of Motoring Writers.
