"The Famous Novel of the Sea"

Stronach, the ship's bosun, was expecting his final voyage to be a smooth passage, yet it soon becomes a test of his mettle as a man and as a sailor.

In the wake of the Second World War, the merchant ship MV Francis Hall sails from England across the Atlantic. With a crew still scarred by the traumas of the recent conflict, it is a journey that will challenge them all.

Unseen Harbour was Frank Laskier's first and only full-length novel published just two years before his death in 1949 aged 37. Laskier himself rose to fame through a series of honest, no-nonsense BBC broadcasts that described his experiences during the Battle of the Atlantic. The success of these talks led to Laskier becoming known as the voice of the ordinary merchant seaman and this encouraged him to embark on a writing career, a move that was sadly cut by his early death.

Frank Laskier's earlier books, My Name is Frank, which was based on the BBC radio talks, and Log Book, an autobiographical novel, have both been republished and are available from Solis Press.

Описание: Frank Laskier worked on many ships in the merchant navy and it was his experiences on shipping convoys during the Second World War. Frank went on to write and this book represents his first novel. Although it is the story of "Jack" - the common British sailor - it is clearly autobiographical and recounts the life and adventures of the author.

Описание: In this path-breaking study about Israels position vis-a-vis the Mediterranean Arab states of the Middle East and Maghreb, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, as well as the France, Italy, and Spain, wide regional neighboring relationships are analyzed and defined by dominant factors such as "fluctuating relations", "confrontation and realpolitik", "radicalism versus moderation", and the "complexities of political, military, intelligence, economic, and cultural connections." A central motif is the challenge of "uneasy coexistence". The work is based on extensive archival and other primary source documentation, including newspapers and Internet sites in English, Hebrew, Arabic, Turkish, Greek, French, Italian, and Spanish. Some of the most vital source material is found in the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, the U.S. Department of State-Office of the Historian, the Central Intelligence Agency data released recently through the Freedom of Information Act, the American presidential libraries, especially of Richard M. Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan, the Israel State Archives, and the Central Zionist Archives. Selected documents invaluable for understanding the major problems affecting the Mediterranean region are published in an appendix. Much of the source material is hitherto untapped or has received scant attention from researchers. This book will emerge as the standard work on Israels coexistence in the Mediterranean basin during her first fifty years of nationhood, an indispensable source for scholars of Israeli history, political scientists specializing in regional conflicts and conflict resolution, inter-Arab affairs, and Israel alignment with its non-Arab and European Mediterranean neighbours.
