This is the first book of the famous trilogy of English country life, The Brensham Trilogy, by John Moore.A wonderful and exuberant chronicle of an English market town between the wars, distinguished with a historic abbey, a winding river and bustling pubs with a cast of characters that could have stepped out of Hogarth or Shakespeare...
First published in 1946, following on from Portrait of Elmbury, the second in the series shows an England which now seems almost foreign in its remoteness.Evoked with an unerringly accurate eye, Brensham Village contains a mixture of action and character, conveying the life of a country community in the halcyon period between the wars.Sentimental it is, but not so as to undermine the picture of a time when a life of landed gentry, squalid poverty and routine village intimacy co-existed within a familiar seasonal routine.
Old friends and new faces join the scholars, rogues and countrymen of Brensham with its crooked village street and crooked church spire.Among its rare individuals who share an obstinacy for making life a romantic andhilarious adventure are those lively landgirls, The Frolick Virgins, Dai, the hymn-singing postman, and William Hart who claimed to be descended from William Shakespeare and loved Pheemy, the young gypsy, not wisely but too well.

These missions required incredible skill, courage, and adaptability, as SOF soldiers often found themselves operating in some of Iraq's most dangerous and hostile environments.As the war progressed, SOF units continued to play a critical role in the fight against terrorism and insurgency. They worked closely with Iraqi security forces, provided training and mentorship to local militias, and developed innovative tactics and strategies to combat a constantly evolving enemy.Through a series of nineteen chapters, this book provides a detailed and gripping account of the contributions made by the U.S. Army Special Operations Forces in Iraq. Each chapter explores a different aspect of SOF operations in the country, from the initial invasion in 2003 to the final withdrawal of U.S. troops in 2011.
"A heart-warming, supernatural slice-of-life graphic novel that gently weaves together tough, everyday themes of identity, grief, and accepting flaws in those we love the most."--
Literary Nonfiction. From its Coast Mountain skyline to its seedy waterfront tattoo parlors, from the private downtown booze-cans of the city's business elite and the Faux Chateau enclave of Whistler, to the riot-shaken streets of the early Sixties and the history of pipe bomb attacks in the city, Moore has been there, done that. He's been a graveyard shift cabdriver, deckhand, bartender, emergency room security guard, reporter and even sunk to the depths of freelance journalism, without losing his sense of humour. Whether he's writing about delivering the news of imminent Nuclear Armageddon during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the history of umbrellas, (serious topic in RAIN CITY), the vanishing game of Cribbage (a rainy day pastime), X-treme Sports, vintage sports cars or the proliferation of anti-depressant meds, he's still 'that a--hole who's always sticking his nose into other peoples' business.'Part memoir, part polemic, RAIN CITY, is his version of a fat old Sixties rock band's Greatest Hits album.
