Great Expectations - by Charles Dickens (unabridged and read by martin jarvis)An absorbing mystery as well as a morality tale, the story of Pip, a poor village lad, and his expectations of wealth is Dickens at his most deliciously readable. The cast of characters includes kindly Joe Gargery, the loyal convict Abel Magwitch and the haunting Miss Havisham. If you have heartstrings, count on them being tugged.
To hear Jarvis tell their stories, you almost believe you're listening to a full-cast recording. This audiobook merits highest praise.

versa? How has it changed over the centuries between the introduction
of firearms and the invention of the atom bomb? How is war waged today?

present day. The expert contributors explore major developments and
themes, including the growth of modern military professionalism and
