I'd really like to find a copy of this book (originally published by Futura in 1982). Anyone know where I can find a copy? – I've tried all my local booksellers, Google, Amazon, Abebooks, ebay, trade me etc etc but can't find one anywhere….seems to be as rare as hens teeth. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Cheers |

AddAll (a very useful meta-search engine for books – it checks all the other main book search engines) located three copies, all at Bong Bong Books in Australia:

A mere US$185 each. |

Actually, that's probably the same copy coming up on 3 different search engines. |

Special Aussie price for a Kiwi eh? :) I know a copy isn't going to be cheap but for $200+ NZ I'll pass and keep on looking elsewhere. Thanks for replying anyway. Cheers |

I seached everywhere for this book and refused to pay the high prices people were asking for it. I saw one listed on Amazon for $69.00, but somebody bought it before I could get it. I'm glad I didn't get it because I found one on ebay and got it for under $5.00. I am still shocked I was able to get it for such a low price. |

Chieftains is now available on the Amazon.co.uk Kindle store. Not checked the .com site. |

Just bought it, £3.30 GBP on Kindle, 25% in and well worth it… |

OMM. The chieftains was/is a what if book based on the hacket books of a hypothetical ww3 in Europe. It looked at a brit armoured unit ( can't remember the name) and the 11th ACR. It's an OK book. Vastly overpriced on second hand market. My favourite of the books based on hacket is first clash, which i managed to find on a visit to caliver over the Christmas. About a unit from the Canadian brigade group. Kiwi if you ever see this one grab it. Can't recommend this one too highly. |
