'Fascinating and convincing' THE TIMES. 17 September 1944: The
Allies have launched the largest airborne offensive in history,
delivering 36,000 troops by parachute and glider to the
Dutch-German Border. In what will become known as the Battle of
Arnhem, half of them will fall as casualties of war. Among their
number is Theo Trickey, a young paratrooper so dreadfully injured
he is not expected to survive. Under the care of Medical Officer
Captain Daniel Garland, Trickey is shipped to Germany as a Prisoner
of War. As Garland slowly nurses him back to health, he discovers
that there's much that is unusual about Trickey, starting with a
chance meeting he had with Erwin Rommel before the War... From the
bestselling author of Under an English Heaven, Airborne is the
first in an unforgettable trilogy that tells the story of a young
soldier, of a new regiment and how, together, they altered the
course of a war.
In this volume, Jason Radcliff examines T. F. Torrance's reading of
the church fathers. Radcliff explores how Torrance reconstructs the
patristic tradition, producing a Reformed, evangelical, and
ecumenical version of the Consensus Patrum (
1943. The sleepy Suffolk village of Bedenham is jerked into the
twentieth century and the harsh realities of war by the arrival on
its doorstep of an American bomber base and its three thousand
inhabitants. For Billy Street, fourteen, a London evacuee uneasily
billeted with the village blacksmith, the American invasion is
heaven sent - unlimited opportunities and acceptance at last within
a community he loves. Yet a concealed past threatens his new
happiness. Billy's schoolteacher, Heather Garrett, awaits word of a
husband missing for eighteen months. A stranger to Bedenham,
Heather's sense of isolation - and village suspicions - are
heightened when troubled American pilot John Hooper, reaches for
her friendship. And daily the skies fill with the bombers and their
ten-man crews who, during that bleak autumn of 1943, suffered
losses on a catastrophic scale. For Hooper, tormented by earlier
loss, leading Misbehavin' Martha and her disorderly crew safely
through their 25 designated bombing missions becomes a personal
crusade.

'A born storyteller' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH. Young paratrooper Theo
Trickey has had a remarkable war. Boy soldier, commando,
intelligence officer - fighting from northern France to the African
desert and in the mountains of Italy. He has already done more than
should be asked of any man in war. But D-Day is looming and British
intelligence have one more misson for Trickey: to negotiate with
his extraordinary old acquaintance, General Erwin Rommel. There are
rumours that Germany's greatest general wants to save the
Fatherland by any means possible... The Bridge is the final
instalment of Radcliffe's Airborne trilogy which tells the
extraordinary story of a young soldier, a new regiment and how,
together, they changed the course of a war.
