Talking Sideways

Stories and Conversations from Finniss Springs

By: Reg Dodd,Malcolm McKinnon

Reg Dodd grew up at Finniss Springs, on striking desert country bordering South Australia's Lake Eyre. For the Arabunna and for many other Aboriginal people, Finniss Springs has been a homeland and a refuge. It has also been a cattle station, an Aboriginal mission, a battlefield, a place of learning, and a living museum. With his long-time friend and filmmaker Malcolm McKinnon, Dodd reflects on his upbringing in a cross-cultural environment that defied social conventions of the time. They also write candidly about the tensions surrounding power, authority, and Indigenous knowledge that have defined the recent decades of this resource-rich area. Talking Sideways is part history, part memoir, and part cultural road-map. Together, Dodd and McKinnon reveal the unique history of this extraordinary place and share their concerns and their hopes for its future.

Eastern Starlight, A British Girl's Memoir as the Wartime Wife of a U.S. Diplomat

Volume 3

By: Jean Elder With Reg Mitchell

Set against the backdrop of Europe with World War II imminent, Eastern Starlight, a British Girl's Memoir as the Wartime Wife of a U.S. Diplomat, is the third book of a trilogy by Jean Elder, the first two of which are about her China years. We join Jean and her husband, US Vice Consul Reginald Mitchell, as the newlywed couple depart Shanghai for their first post together, Warsaw, Poland, an armed camp surrounded by enemy superpowers and a haven for spies. Jean draws us into the fascinating but fiercely demanding Foreign Service world of international relations face-to-face diplomacy in a lifestyle that few of her peers would ever know at age 23. She shares with us her experiences engaging with Ambassadors and Ministers and their wives and Papal Emissaries at grand diplomatic soirees and equally important, as a diplomatic hostess having to plan and manage teas and tiffins and dinner parties at home. Protocol is a carryover from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and rules about formal attire, such as all but swords and medals (ABSAM) and stringent social etiquette, are followed to the letter. Posted to Dublin, Irish Free State, Jean, becomes friends with Sinead O'Flanagan, wife of IFS President Eamon de Valera, who opposes Britain and intends to keep Ireland neutral in any future war with Nazi Germany. Returning "home side", Reg is assigned the newly created position of State Department Press Spokesman and White House Press Liaison. Through Jean's eyes, we have a colorful close-up view of pre-war Washington, a city of lovely parks, Christmas lights along bustling downtown sidewalks, Beaux Arts theaters, and large department stores. Assigned to our Legation in Port-au-Prince following Pearl Harbor, the respect accorded her by Haiti's mercurial President, Elie Lescot, is invaluable in gaining access to medical attention when Malaria strikes her family. Based on her riveting wartime diary, Jean brings to life for the first time her incredible journey as a mother with two young sons aboard a Liberty ship in an armed convoy having to survive multiple German air attacks at night in the Mediterranean to join her husband at the US Consulate, Port Sa'id, Egypt in 1944. Eastern Starlight is about a remarkable woman of her era, not only because of the life she led, but the kind of person she was-----her moral character and compassion, loyalty to family and friends, willingness to put others above herself, acceptance of people of all walks of life, and courage when in peril. This is a compelling story that will resonate with readers of all ages.

Shipping on the Thames & the Port of London During the 1940s–1980s

A Pictorial History

By: Malcolm Batten,Reg Batten

During the 1970s and 1980s the Port of London, and shipping on the River Thames was in a state of transition. New methods of cargo handling, in particular the introduction of containers and Roll-on, Roll-off vehicle ferries called for new investment and a rethink on the way dock traffic was traditionally managed. As a result, The Port of London Authority decided to run down and close the various London docks and concentrate all new investment downriver at their Tilbury docks. These photographs, along with some from earlier decades, and mostly previously unpublished, are a fascinating insight into this period, when traditional ships and cargo handling methods worked alongside the new technology. Ships designed for carrying cargo in their holds were sometimes adapted to carry containers as deck cargo. There were also shipping types now lost to history, including colliers and sludge boats. Not forgotten are the passenger ships – cruise liners to ferries. The various vessels that serviced the port from tugs to salvage craft and floating cranes. Finally, the heritage craft from traditional Thames Sailing barges to former paddle steamers now adapted as floating pub/restaurants.

Turmoil in Tehran

By: Reg Pelham

Most Americans are familiar with the Iranian hostage crisis that began on November 4, 1979. However, few people are aware of the chaotic events that took place during the year and half leading up to that momentous occasion. Gil Hodges, a Pan Am employee, tells the story of the Pan American team that in late 1977 wins a contract with the Imperial Iranian Air Force to construct and operate espionage sites along the Iran/Iraq border. Although the contract starts in a fairly routine manner, social order within the country soon starts to break down. Riots and demonstrations become more and more prevalent, and soon armed Iranian soldiers are required to ensure the employees can get to and from work safely. At the height of the protests, more than 10 percent of the country's population was in the streets of most major cities. A prominent French newspaper called it the largest single demonstration in history. As things get worse, Pan Am executives in New York and those in Florida are convinced that only American money can save the team if the shah is overthrown. With no guarantees that it will work, a plan is formulated to smuggle a large sum of money into the country. This money would be used to buy the teams freedom if necessary. The situation takes an auspicious turn when a Pan Am team member jeopardizes all their lives over an Iranian woman that he loves but is forbidden to marry. An unlikely alliance is formed, including the in-country Pan Am team, their wives, friendly followers of the Ayatollah Khomeini, and a cabbie who had been Gil's driver for over a year. This group was a part of a risky plan to save the Americans from a hostage situation or even death.
