NAB 1: Portrait of a Politician
London: Robert Maxwell, 1969. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0080071090 Sir Gerald David Nunes Nabarro (29 June 1913 - 18 November 1973) was a Conservative Party politician of the 1950s and 1960s. Nabarro had a flamboyant public profile and a reputation for taking maverick political stances. At the 1945 general election, Nabarro stood as the Conservative candidate in the Labour-held West Bromwich constituency. The seat was comfortably held by Labour's John Dugdale, with a swing on 18.6%, much higher than the national average of 10%. In the general election of 1950, Nabarro was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Kidderminster, Worcestershire which he held until 1964. He characterised himself as an old-style Tory: he opposed entry to what is now the European Union, was a proponent of capital punishment, and supported Enoch Powell following the latter's controversial Rivers of Blood Speech. Even five years earlier, on 5 April 1963, while appearing on Any Questions?, he said "How would you feel if your daughter wanted to marry a big buck nigger with the prospect of coffee-coloured grandchildren?", remarks which were excised from a repeat of the programme the following week. He was also instantly identifiable due to his much-lampooned handlebar moustache. He sat on the first ever football pools panel to decide the outcome of abandoned matches. (Book ref. 039326) £9.99

Flesh Inferno: Atrocities of Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition
London: Creation Books, 2002. First Edition. Paperback. New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 1840681055 The Spanish Inquisition was established in 1478 to root out and destroy heretics against Catholicism, and Tomas de Torquemada was its first Grand Inquisitor. Torquemada was a zealot whose methods of torture were equally ingenious and inhuman; during his reign of terror the streets of Castile were drenched in blood, piled high with severed body parts. His most extravagant creation was the auto-da-fé, a public slaughter rally where hundreds of heretics would be burned alive in a screaming conflagration of human flesh. It has been estimated that nearly 9,000 perished in these mass immolations and nearly 100,000 in the dungeons during Torquemada’s reign alone. The Inquisition, its persecutions and its autos-da-fé persisted until 1834, and its legacy remains as the cruelest and most savage chapter in the annals of torture. FLESH INFERNO is a shocking document of man’s inhumanity to man, a gore-soaked torture bible which reminds us that the most hideous, inventive and fanatical atrocities are almost always committed in the name of religion.

Search and Destroy: An Illustrated Guide to Vietnam War Movies
London: Creation Books, 2003. First Edition. Paperback. New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 1871592992 From the early gung-ho posturing of John Wayne in The Green Berets to the psychedelic rites of Apocalypse Now and the stark combat horrors of Platoon, The Deer Hunter and Full Metal Jacket, SEARCH & DESTROY is a guide to the way Hollywood has progressively portrayed the Vietnam war. From Travis Bickle in Scorsese’s classic Taxi Driver to the brutal rapist of hardcore porn movie Forced Entry, psychotic Vietnam veterans have been wreaking screen havoc from the early ‘70s onwards. Dennis Hopper in Tracks, Sylvester Stallone in First Blood, Robert Ginty in The Exterminator; these disparate characters are all driven by the same demons and blood-drenched flashbacks, haunted by the spectre of Nam. And in graphic films such as Jacob’s Ladder, Troma’s Combat Shock, and Antonio Margheriti’s Cannibal Apocalypse, Viet vets are subjected to the horrors of physical or mental mutation after being exposed to chemical warfare and experimentation in Nam. SEARCH & DESTROY contains illustrated essays on these and hundreds of other movies, ranging from the combat traumas graphically displayed in documentaries such as Army Medicine In Vietnam, to the most garish exploitation movies and gun-fixated redneck trash. SEARCH & DESTROY is the ultimate guide to the cinematic legacy of Vietnam, a harrowing trip into the heart of darkness. Jack Hunter is the author of Inside Teradome and Eros In Hell, and editor of many other film studies. (Book ref. 039319) £6.70
