GUNPOWDER & GLORY: THE EXPLOSIVE LIFE OF FRANK BROCK OBE

by Harry Smee; Henry Macrory

Published by Casemate Publishers. 1st. 2020

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. A remarkable combination of James Bond and 'Q', Frank Brock was killed in action over one hundred years ago; a dardevil combatant, secret agent and brilliant inventor all rolled into one. Woven into the narrative is the dazzling history of Brock's Fireworks, the world-famous firm started by Frank's five-times great-grandfather, and which he was being groomed to run. Red cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos.

Light scuffing to dustwrapper.
