Sir Antony Beevor( K, 60-64) presents his latest offering: Arnhem – The Battle of the Bridges 1944, which is published this month. Operation Market Garden, the plan to end the war by capturing the bridges leading to the Lower Rhine and beyond, was a bold concept: the Americans thought it unusually so for Field Marshal Montgomery. But the cost of failure was horrendous, above all for the Dutch who risked everything to help. German reprisals were cruel and lasted until the end of the war. Viking; ISBN: 978-0670918669.
A chance viewing of a picture in London’ s National Gallery has inspired Mark Byford’ s book The Annunciation: A Pilgrim’ s Quest. The early-18thcentury painting by French artist François Lemoyne, on loan from Winchester College, depicts the encounter between Angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary, as described by Luke’ s Gospel. That meeting may be a pivotal point in Christianity, but has the status and significance of the Annunciation been lost in today’ s world? Journalist Mark Byford searches for the spiritual meaning of the biblical story through intimate conversations with more than a hundred senior clerics, world-renowned theologians, historians and artists. People speak as never before about the personal and profound impact that the Annunciation story has had on their lives. Winchester University Press; ISBN: 978-1906113254.

A Ragbag of Riches: an assortment of wordy delights by JR Chilton( D, 54-59). This collection of quips and quotes creates a book for the bower, the bedside, the bath and for browsing; a book at arm’ s length from the deck chair, for the tedium of travel but above all for pleasure. It is a haphazard collection, the Ragbag covering the rougher, even vulgar( but nevertheless witty) entries of graffiti, newspaper headlines and bumper stickers, the Riches being the poetry, prayers and prose of fine minds that inspire by their beauty, sincerity and sublime use of words. Clink Street Publishing; ISBN: 978-1912262533.
