Like some other great cities it is set on seven hills. But only one of these, Rome, rivals Edinburgh in matching the beauty of its setting with the stateliness of its buildings. Edinbrugh, too, provides the backdrop to much of the dark drama of the Scottish past, from Mary Queen of Scots to Bonnie Prince Charlie and beyond. Michael Fry, who has lived and worked there for nearly forty years, provides a compellingly readable account of this great city, from the earliest times to the present, balancing Edinburgh's cultural, political and social history, and painting a vivid portrait of a city - that like Stevenson's Dr Jekyll - is both dark and light, both dark and light, both 'Auld Reekie' and 'Athens of the North'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ‘Impressive … in the style of Peter Ackroyd’s history of London’ Magnus Linklator, \u003ci\u003eSpectator \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e'\u003c\/i\u003eNo one interested in the history of Edinburgh, and indeed Scotland, should be without it’ Allan Massie,\u003ci\u003eScotsman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57466783007093,"sku":"9780330455794","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780330455794.jpg?v=1785654845"},{"product_id":"the-workhorse-of-helmand","title":"The Workhorse of Helmand","description":"As a RAF Chinook crewman, Mick Fry's exposure to Afghanistan spanned over 10 years and countless deployments, from watching 9\/11 unfold in Australia, leaving the deck of HMS Ocean off the coast of Pakistan under the cover of darkness all the way through numerous fighting seasons and the chaos of Helmand Province.   The Chinook helicopter was the workhorse of the British Military operations in Afghanistan, and the crews from RAF Odiham were confronted by their own mortality on an almost daily basis as they worked tirelessly and skilfully to support the troops on the ground.   Whether it was taking part in air assault missions against a determined enemy, or extracting casualties from the battlefield under fire, and in a life or death race against time, Mick witnessed both the best and worst of humanity on a daily basis.   His story is both gripping and confronting. It takes the reader on a journey through combat operations in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The Author paints a gritty picture of repeated operational deployments, balancing harrowing scenes and the ever present threat of death with the humour and camaraderie of comrades and the exhilaration of surviving Taliban RPG's and AK47 fire.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57483564450165,"sku":"9781399075510","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781399075510.jpg?v=1786178750"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-michael-fry.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
