When Heloise Goodley ditched her City job and decided to attend officer training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, she had no prior military experience. On her arrival she was a complete novice: she'd never fired a rifle, she couldn't march; she couldn't make her bed; she couldn't even shine her shoes. An Officer and a Gentlewoman charts Goodley's absorbing journey through Sandhurst and on to Afghanistan and gives an insight into the array of bizarre military behaviours and customs at this esoteric and hidden institution. With wit and sensitivity Goodley details her experiences as a cadet and the painful transition from civilian to soldier. Moreover, she rejects lazy preconceptions and sheds new light on what has hitherto been a bastion of maleness - the British Army.

MEN IN BLUE PRETTY AS A PICTURE MMichael Lafferty had arrested socialite Alicia Walker for murder. He was supposed to be helping convict her but instead, all he could think of was seducing that innocent look right off her pretty little mug shot. AND FRAMED LIKE ONE, TOO. In all his years on the force, he had never seen stronger evidence, so why was he so positive that Alicia was innocent? And how could he prove that she'd been framed, without making them both guilty of crossing the line and falling in love? Love in the line of duty.

At once military, social and art history, this book elucidates various visual media, much of it little known, that denounce military cruelty in the Netherlands of the 16th and 17th century. This unique Netherlands specialty contrasts with Rubens' glorification of war, and its justification in patriotic siege prints, Scipio Africanus, and the "courtiers" of the civic guard groups and Ter Borch.
