Ten holders of the Victoria Cross, the highest British military honour - for 'valour in the face of the enemy' - are associated with the Borough of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK. They include the very first VC to be awarded (in the Crimea, 1856). The lives of the recipients were played out worldwide - from Russia to New Zealand, Mesopotamia to North Africa, Italy to Canada and Afghanistan, as well as the UK, from Scotland to Surrey. The settings of their valiant acts, on land and sea, ranged from the Maori Wars to Tibet and the two World Wars. Using a vast array of historical and contemporary material, Richard Snow has painstakingly and skilfully pieced together the lives of these Ten Brave Men. Markedly different in background and personality, they had one thing in common - extraordinary courage when unexpectedly faced with the ultimate threat to comrades and country. These highly charged stories are in turn astounding, poignant, shocking, funny and sad, and will enthral and inspire all those interested in extreme bravery. Each story has a Foreword written by a member of the respective family and each Victoria Cross holder's monuments, memorials and tributes are included, together with the location of their medals, where known. Copiously and evocatively illustrated, this book explores the intense emotions and challenges of life in combat.

A merchant sailor works for a decade, captaining a yacht up and down the coasts of Malaysia, in the hope that his crooked employer will stay true to a promise... Years after a pandemic sweeps across Europe, wiping out its all-white population, a pilgrim returns to his Polish birthplace in search of the only other non-white kid he knew at school... An inscrutable hotelier loses his composure when a secret passage is discovered in his hotel, leading to a mysterious room and a previously hidden existence... Born in what is now Ukraine to Polish parents, naturalised as a British citizen, and schooled on the high seas of international commerce, Joseph Conrad was a true citizen of the world. His novels bore witness to the dehumanising repercussions of empire, explored a world in which state-sponsored terrorism ruined individuals' lives, and pioneered complex narrative structures and subjective points-of-view in what was to become the first wave of literary modernism. To mark his 160th birthday, 14 authors and critics from Britain, Poland and elsewhere have come together to celebrate his legacy with new pieces of fiction and non-fiction. Conrad felt that the writer's task was to offer 'that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask.' In an age of increasing isolationism, these celebrations remind you of the value of such glimpses.
