    THE HISTORY OF THE GREEN HOWARDS
    GEOFFREY POWELL / JOHN S.W. POWELL
    Regimental histories abound, but few can be as stirring as this story of the fortunes of the famous Yorkshire-based Green Howards.

    SUEZ

    THE DEVIL'S BIRTHDAY
    GEOFFREY POWELL
    Arnhem was the heaviest Allied defeat of 1944 and was the subject of the famous film A Bridge Too Far.

    PLUMER
    GEOFFREY POWELL
    Sir Herbert Plumer stood out as an archetypal Colonel Blimp - smart to a fault, white hair, white moustache, pot-belly.
