Open Road to Faraway: Escapes from Nazi POW Camps 1941-1945 | Winton, Andrew Sneddon | Cualann Press | 2001 | The author came from Woolfords, near Lanark and joined the RAF soon after the start of the Second World War. He was shot down over Germany in 1941 and during his incarceration in prisoner of war camps he made a number of escapes, one of them resulting in a spell at the dreaded Buchenwald Concentration Camp. The story describes life inside the prisons - the boredom, brutality and the longing for escape - and the eventual freedom at the end of the war. | 990 |

Full Circle: Log of the Navy's No.1 Conscript | Gritten, John | Cualann Press | 2003 | This account of the author`s experiences during the Second World War are based on his work as an Official Naval Reporter. Armed with pen and notebook he sent back reports on the D-Day Landings, action by British commandos in Burma and the Allies` 1940 evacuation from Central Norway - to name but three very dangerous undertakings. Some of these reports were kept secret by the government and are retold now for the first time. | 992 |

Beyond the Bamboo Screen: Scottish Prisoners of War Under the Japanese | McGowran, Tom (ed.) | Cualann Press | 1999 | This is a collection of over 40 articles written by Scottish survivors of Japanese prisoner of war camps. They describe the horror of these places, the brutality of their captors and the captives` efforts to survive. Many of these stories have never been told in public before as their writers, understandably, more often kept their memories to themselves. | 996 |

Lion and the Eagle, The: Reminiscences of Polish Second World War Veterans in Scotland | Henderson, Diana M. | Cualann Press | 2001 | After the invasion of Poland by Germany, many Poles came to Scotland; some eventually returned to their homeland while others stayed on in their adopted country. This is the story of the wartime Polish community in Scotland. | 227 |

Stand by Your Beds!: A Wry Look at National Service | Clark, David Finlay | Cualann Press | 2001 | The aftermath of the Second World War heralded many changes in Britain. One of these was the introduction of National Service which lasted from 1948 to 1963 and during that time 2 million people were called up into the armed forces. Some went gladly, others very reluctantly. The author`s two-year stint in the RAF forms the basis for this account of these life-changing events. | 993 |

Scotland and the Cold War | Jamison, Brian P. (ed.) | Cualann Press | 2003 | Scotland played an important role during the "Cold War", not least because the country had (and still has) one of the world`s biggest concentrations of nuclear weapons stockpiled in hidden locations. This study covers the period between the Second World War and the late 1990s and looks at, amongst other subjects, the build-up of the country`s nuclear weaponry (particularly the three submarine bases) and how the Scots reacted to this awesome arsenal. Other topics include the Peace Movement, the political parties, the military perspective and the general historical background to this important part of Scotland`s recent history. | 987 |
