This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years of My Life in the World of Sport at Home and Abroad Many of my readers, and not a few of my casual acquaintance, will wonder how it is that I, 'The Jigger' of Eton and College days, and 'The Mate' of Regimental and present times, could ever have the audacity (though I don't pretend to be troubled with diffidence) to attempt to commit to paper some of my experiences in this 'vale of tears.' But the fact is, I have long been wishful to once again acquire possession of one of those pleasant occupants of my pocket which, in days gone by, used to nestle there periodically, and were so welcome, even when solitary - I mean the 'merry monk,' i. e. the collection of crisp bank-notes that constitute the adorable 'monkey,' value £500 sterling. The receptacle still exists, but its occupants have deteriorated into occasional 'flimsies' (fivers) and very often 'nonsies.' One day, after a pleasant luncheon in Grosvenor Place, I had been telling several stories in a voluble and, to some of my audience, amusing style, when suddenly an old friend, who, like me, had seen better days (only in a pecuniary sense, be it understood), exclaimed, 'Why don't you write a book? You are constantly complaining of poverty, why you would be a rich man if you would take the trouble to put on paper the amusing stories you have just been telling us.' I replied, 'It's all very well, my dear Charlie, to talk. Any fool can tell a story, but it takes a man to write a book. How could I write one when, barring Bradshaw, I never study any book?' 'Go on,' he answered; 'you take my tip and you will make a pile.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Sport and the Home Front contributes in significant and original ways to our understanding of the social and cultural history of the Second World War. It explores the complex and contested treatment of sport in government policy, media representations and the everyday lives of wartime citizens. Acknowledged as a core component of British culture, sport was also frequently criticised, marginalised and downplayed, existing in a constant state of tension between notions of normality and exceptionality, routine and disruption, the everyday and the extraordinary. The author argues that sport played an important, yet hitherto neglected, role in maintaining the morale of the British people and providing a reassuring sense of familiarity at a time of mass anxiety and threat. Through the conflict, sport became increasingly regarded as characteristic of Britishness; a symbol of the ‘ordinary’ everyday lives in defence of which the war was being fought. Utilised to support the welfare of war workers, the entertainment of service personnel at home and abroad and the character formation of schoolchildren and young citizens, sport permeated wartime culture, contributing to new ways in which the British imagined the past, present and future. Using a wide range of personal and public records – from diary writing and club minute books to government archives – this book breaks new ground in both the history of the British home front and the history of sport.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years of My Life in the World of Sport at Home and Abroad, Vol. 1 of 2 AS Sir John has more than once in these pages kindly alluded to my connection with his book, and the share that I took in persuading him to set to work on it, I trust that I may be allowed to explain one or two points very briefly. First, it has been a great pleasure to me to have been of use to him, and in ever SO small a degree to have been the means of inducing him to jot down his experiences, for the amusement of his friends and the General Public. I trust also that it may be borne in mind that I have as much as possible endeavoured to preserve his style of composition, and his peculiar phraseology - not invariably an easy task. His.
