So what made Kipling 'tick'? His Celtic roots, his early Indian childhood -- or a clash between both cultures? This unusual non-literary biography discloses the man behind the name and its 'received' image; reveals why he wrote so compellingly about the sea and ships; had a love affair with steam and motive power, becoming a pioneer motorist at the turn of the century. From the passenger seat -- he never drove himself -- he discovered England, 'the most wonderful of all foreign countries'. But it was on a hired bicycle he discovered 'the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River...' Unlike the average globe-trotter he was often a prey to melancholy, of longing for his previous home across the sea: for North Devon when he was in India, for India when he was in London living near the Thames, and for America when he was back in England after four of the happiest years of his life in Vermont. The Welsh have a word for it: hiraeth. It is an overwhelming yearning tinged with melancholy that is entirely Celtic, and not always understood by the more phlegmatic Anglo-Saxon. It often overcame Kipling when he was within sight or sound of water, and it acted on his imagination like a spark in a combustion chamber. A 'subversive pamphleteer' turned Special Correspondent in India, Rudyard Kipling put the 'Tommy' on the map for all time -- before taking up with the Senior Service and 'playing at being a sailor', on manoeuvres with the Channel Squadron and speed trials of a new destroyer. A childhood ambition to join the navy had been thwarted by his myopia. Indisputably, his prophetic eye saw what others could not -- would not, perhaps. He prophesied the advent of two world wars years before they broke out. In World War One he was an official war reporter. In France and Italy, and in the North Sea, Kipling learned enough of the horrors of war to know the odds against his son's return when John was reported 'missing' at Loos.

During the Second World War the small landlocked Italian region of Umbria was crossed by thousands of Allied servicemen. There were those entrained for camps in Northern Italy, in Germany or in German-controlled territories. There were those belonging to work parties who came in open trucks from Campo PG 54 at Fara in Sabina to construct a new camp, Campo PG 77 at Pissignano, or to swell the much-depleted indigenous labour force in a cement factory and brickworks and were interned in PG 115 (Morgnano) and PG 115/3 (Marsciano). There were men from the Special Air Services (SAS) who had been parachuted in to carry out special missions. There were the American airmen whose planes had been shot down from the Umbrian skies. There were the escapers and evaders who in trying to reach the Allied Lines or neutral Switzerland walked the Appenines. There were two submariners from HM Submarine Saracen who were held in Perugia gaol before being sent to Dachau. This is their story.

Excerpt from The Book of the Long Trail This, as you know, was not always so nations used to fight by teams, as schools do - a small picked army on this side against a small picked army on that. Even then they did a lot of damage and caused a lot of misery; but the case is a thousand times worse now. Now the whole population of each country goes to war, the whole world is involved, and the nations fight desperately because they fight for their existence - world-power or downfall - and they feel that they must hack their way through and stick at nothing to save themselves. Do you think that this kind of fighting can go on One such war has brought the world to the brink of ruin and starvation: what would another leave us? Can you imagine what would become of your school life if in a football match the whole of both schools played in.one big scrimmage, and a hundred boys were killed on each side and a hundred injured for life, and both sides always joined in burning down the buildings of the school on whose ground the game was played But that would be very much less cruel and absurd than modern war.

WINNER - 2015 Outdoor Writers of Ohio "Outstanding Media Achievement." Before the Continental Divide Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail or even the Appalachian Trail, there was the Long Trail. Begun in 1910, Vermont's "footpath in the wilderness" traverses the very spine of the Green Mountains from Massachusetts to the Canadian border. Though it shares over 100 miles with its younger and more famous cousin, once they split, the Long Trail is another level of hiking challenge. Trail guides are essential for most hikers. A guide can tell you where water is available and what the elevation change is over a set distance. It might even use words like steep, scramble and exposed in a clinical manner. In a less clinical manner this book explains the rewards and the struggles of one backpacker's 2015 attempt to thru-hike this difficult 273 mile trail. There are beautiful views, sunny days, interesting company and other high points along the way. There are also slick downslopes, boot sucking mud holes, and a number of climbs that elicit the thought, "You've got to be kidding me." In other words, A Short Book on the Long Trail provides a concise, realistic, yet entertaining feel for this demanding experience.
