  • The Mongols: From Genghis Khan to Tamerlane

    From Genghis Khan to Tamerlane

    de W.B. Bartlett ...
    In the space of 200 hundred years, the Mongols built the greatest empire that the world had ever known and then lost it again. At its greatest extent, the lands they held dwarfed those under the control of Rome at its prime whilst the conquests of its founder, Genghis Khan, outshone those of even Alexander the Great. There were few parts of the known world that were not touched by the Mongols in ... Leer más

  • Zulu

    Queen Victoria's Most Famous Little War

    de W B Bartlett ...
    The Zulu War grabs attention in a way that no other of Queen Victoria's "Little Wars" does. It is a story rich in the extremes of human experience: gallantry, cowardice, savagery, hubris, and sheer, stark terror amongst others. The way the campaign unfolded was a consequence of the actions of Britain's commander in the field, Lord Chelmsford, who thought that the outcome would be a foregone ... Leer más

  • King Cnut and the Viking Conquest of England 1016

    de W. B. Bartlett ...
    The Viking Conquest of England in 1016 – a far tougher and more brutal campaign than the Norman Conquest exactly half a century later – saw two great warriors, the Danish prince Cnut and his equally ruthless English opponent King Edmund Ironside, fight an epic campaign. Cnut sailed in two hundred longboats, landing first in September 1015 on the Wessex coast with 10,000 soldiers. The two forces ... Leer más

  • After Agincourt

    The French Campaigns of Henry V

    de W. B. Bartlett ...
    The Battle of Agincourt, fought on 25 October 1415, has gone down in history as one of the most iconic events in the story of England. Yet, dramatic though it was, it was only the beginning of a long and gruelling campaign that brought Henry V to the verge of greatness. The second invasion of France post-Agincourt often receives little more than a sideways glance, yet it is a fascinating example ... Leer más

  • Thunderbolt of the North

    Harald Hardrada, Viking King

    de W. B. Bartlett ...
    Harald Hardrada had a career that spanned much of the known world of the eleventh century. Here was a man who was born in Norway, was exiled to Russia, spent time as a mercenary leader in Constantinople, journeyed to Jerusalem and won military campaigns in Sicily. In later life he became king of Norway, but this was not enough for him. For years he fought a series of campaigns to try and add ... Leer más

  • Agincourt

    Henry V, the Man at Arms & the Archer

    de W. B. Bartlett ...
    Henry V, King of England and claimant to the throne of France, looked out across the field of Agincourt, the site of a remarkable victory, but there were few scenes of glory that met his eyes. Heaps of the dead and dying, the cream of French chivalry, were piled high. The stench of death permeated the air, rising above the muddy carnage and assaulting the senses. But this was not a victory for ... Leer más

    de W. B. Bartlett ...

Yet within months he had defeated the Viking invaders and started to reverse the tide of conquest.While Alfred was driven by the prospect of a land called England that did not yet exist, he was not the one who finally created ...

  • Hlobane and Khambula

    The Forgotten Epic of How the Anglo-Zulu War was Lost and Won

    de W. B. Bartlett ...
    While the Anglo-Zulu War is now best remembered for two battles, the stunning British defeat at Isandlwana and the victory against the odds at Rorke’s Drift, two others at Hlobane and Khambula eerily mirrored them. At Hlobane the British stared disaster in the face again and just about escaped, while at Khambula they inflicted a crushing defeat on the Zulu army and turned the war on its head. In ... Leer más

  • The Fall of Christendom

    The Road to Acre 1291

    de W. B. Bartlett ...
    In the early middle ages the Christian presence in the Middle East took a series of blows from often superior Muslim forces, only for a fresh wave of Crusaders to regain territory. But the Fall of Acre in 1291 was the dramatic event that finally brought dreams of a Christian Holy Land crashing down. The city had first been captured by Crusaders under Richard the Lionheart in 1189–91. The aftermath ... Leer más

  • Titanic 9 Hours to Hell

    The Survivors' Story

    de W. B. Bartlett ...
    A major new history of the disaster that weaves into the narrative the first-hand accounts of those who survived. It was twenty minutes to midnight on Sunday 14 April, when Jack Thayer felt the Titanic lurch to port, a motion followed by the slightest of shocks. Seven-year old Eva Hart barely noticed anything was wrong. For Stoker Fred Barrett, shovelling coal down below, it was somewhat different ... Leer más

  • Vikings

    A History of the Northmen

    de W. B. Bartlett ...
    The year 1066: a battlefield in England, a mighty king lies prone on the ground, his lifeblood ebbing out of him. As he draws his last breath, the world of which he is the greatest figurehead also moves towards its end, its existence about to pass from history into legend and later into myth. This is not Hastings; it is Stamford Bridge, and the dying king is Harald Hardrada, one of the greatest ... Leer más
