One of these is the subject of this book. Written by an American, Reanne Hemingway-Douglass, and published in the UK by Pen \u0026amp; Sword, it has all the elements of a classic covert adventure tale. As the book explains, the Shelburne was one of the later escape lines that operated within Nazi-occupied Europe. It was established at the end of 1943 by two agents who worked for MI-9, the London-based military intelligence agency responsible for providing assistance to Allied servicemen stranded behind enemy lines. Working with the French Resistance, these agents arranged for groups of Allied airmen to be taken from \"safe houses\" in Paris to Brittany, where a Royal Navy motor gunboat picked them up from a secluded beach and delivered them back to England. Eight audacious evacuation operations were conducted between January and August, 1944, without the Shelburne Line ever being infiltrated by the Gestapo.  Aspects of the Shelburne story have been told previously in memoirs by several of the participants, including the late MP Airey Neave, who was an MI-9 operative.However, Hemingway-Douglass expands the story to include recollections of some of the local Breton people who were involved with the Line. The second half of the book comprises personal stories of airmen and other individuals who were affiliated with the Shelburne Line or were otherwise caught up in the war in France. A lifelong Francophile, Hemingway-Douglass took eight years to research and write the book. She describes it as a \"labor of love that pays tribute to the heroism and courage of 'ordinary' people, while reinforcing the fact that war touches everybody.\"","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49537083703569,"sku":"GOR008672188","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50384372564241,"sku":"CIN1473837782VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51606533538065,"sku":"CIN1473837782G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1473837782.jpg?v=1751456547"},{"product_id":"the-shelburne-escape-line-book-reanne-hemingway-douglass-9781934199053","title":"The Shelburne Escape Line","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49602902491409,"sku":"GOR013514146","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49791226675473,"sku":"CIN1934199052G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50093640352017,"sku":"CIN1934199052VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1934199052.jpg?v=1751380530"},{"product_id":"cape-horn-book-reanne-hemingway-douglass-9780938665298","title":"Cape Horn","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49772544983313,"sku":"CIN0938665294G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50024804942097,"sku":"CIN0938665294VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0938665294.jpg?v=1750981204"},{"product_id":"two-women-against-the-wind-book-reanne-hemingway-douglass-9781934199114","title":"Two Women Against the Wind","description":"JAMES WHITE pioneered the publishing ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He began publishing in 1849 what became the official church paper, known widely as the Review and Herald. For many years it was produced in Battle Creek, Michigan. Twenty-five years later, in 1874, Elder White began the publishing of The Signs of the Times magazine in Oakland, California. But only three years (1852) after starting the Review and Herald magazine, James White began publishing The Youth's Instructor for the benefit of the youth of the church. The editor wrote in the first issue, We design that the Instructor shall be filled with sensible matter, not only for the benefit of small children, but for the instruction of the youth from 16 to 20 years of age. What started out as a monthly, in 1879 became a weekly magazine and was published continuously until April, 1970. Ellen White contributed an article to the very first issue of The Youth's Instructor and during her lifetime contributed nearly 500. The vast majority of them were especially written for the younger audience of the Instructor. They were designed by Inspiration to make a significant contribution in the preparation of God's youth for Christ's soon return. It is the desire of the present publisher that that purpose will indeed be achieved in those who read these messages in this late hour.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50765185515793,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50765186957585,"sku":"CIN1934199117VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51713008697617,"sku":"CIN1934199117G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1934199117.jpg?v=1751250920"},{"product_id":"baidarka-diaries-book-reanne-hemingway-douglass-9781934199329","title":"Baidarka Diaries","description":"For eighteen summers, Don and R anne Douglass explored the waters of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska aboard their two Baidarka research vessels. Their exhaustive notes on cruising routes and safe anchorages form the basis of the Exploring series of nautical guidebooks, upon which numerous boaters rely for information on cruising the Inside Passage and beyond. But R anne also kept personal diaries on many of the Baidarka voyages, which provide a more comprehensive account of the Douglasses' cruising experiences. In addition to the expected entries on boat handling, sea and weather conditions, and geographical impressions, the Baidarka Diaries contain R anne's observations of nature, conversations (and arguments) with Don, encounters with fellow boaters, recurring battles with seasickness, occasional misadventures, and other daily aspects of the cruising life-even onboard recipes. Whether you're an armchair traveler, or you've taken your own voyage up the Inside Passage and want to re-visit the experience, this book offers vicarious cruising at its best","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51057170940177,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51057173430545,"sku":"NIN9781934199329","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/193419932X.jpg?v=1750727536"},{"product_id":"cap-horn-book-reanne-hemingway-douglass-9781934199343","title":"Cap Horn","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51057212031249,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51057214423313,"sku":"NIN9781934199343","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1934199346.jpg?v=1750835970"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-reanne-hemingway-douglass.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
