The Channel Islands by Beata Moore £16.99 + £3.00 postage to UK
Binding: Hardback, 112 pages
Beata Moore explores the rich heritage of British and French influences and the surprisingly varied landscapes of the Channel Islands. From Jersey, an island of opposites, where cosmopolitan city life sits easily with lazy beach holidays to the proudly different Bailiwick of Guernsey, where agriculture remains a bigger part of the island economy, and the islands of Alderney and car-free Sark and Herm. From bustling harbour towns, remote cliff paths, beautiful beaches and rural interiors, Beata Moore captures the diversity and uniqueness of this much-loved archipelago.
New Perspectives on Hitler's Channel Islands by Peter Tabb £19.99 hardback + £3.20 postage to U.K.
Apart from the propaganda value of their occupation from October 1941, the Channel Islands were to form part of Hitler's supposedly impregnable Atlantic Wall. For three and a half years, the islanders suffered deportation, deprivation, epidemics, imprisonment and, ultimately, near-starvation. Written by a Channel Islander, this is a remarkable testament to the triumph of the human spirit over evil and the survival of a quintessentially British way of life under the Nazi jackboot.
