Friel, Ian BRITAIN AND THE OCEAN ROAD: Shipwrecks and People, 1297-1825
Uses new firsthand research and unconventional interpretations to take a fresh look at British maritime history in the age of sail. Explores how and why Britain became a global sea power through eight stories of shipwrecks. Encompasses an extraordinary range of people, ships, and events, such as a bloody maritime civil war in the 13th century, a 17th-century American teenager who stepped from one ship to another and into a life of piracy, a British warship that fought at Trafalgar on the French side, and a Liverpool slave-ship sunk in the year before the slave trade was abolished. Includes details such as England's rudest and crudest street-name, what it was like to be a passenger in a medieval ship, how the English theater reached the Far East during Shakespeare's lifetime, who forgave who after a pirate duel, why there were fancy dress parties in the Arctic, and where you could get the best herring.

Roberts, Mike HANNIBAL'S ROAD: The Second Punic War in Italy 213-203 BC
Details the neglected campaigns of Hannibal in the years from 213-203 BC. Explains how by 212, the wider war was going against the Carthaginians, yet Hannibal, despite being massively outnumbered and with little support from home, was able to sustain his polyglot army and campaign actively across southern Italy for another ten years. His skillful maneuvering and victory in numerous engagements kept several veteran armies of the normally aggressive Romans tied up and on the defensive, until Scipios invasion of North Africa pulled him home to defend Carthage. Analyzes Hannibal's strategy and aims in this phase of the war.1 vol, 288 pgs

Duckers, Peter THE CRIMEAN WAR AT SEA: The Naval Campaigns Against Russia 1854-56
Analyzes the wider war waged at sea by the British and French navies against the Russians. The allied navies aimed to strike at Russian interests anywhere in the world where naval force could be brought to bear, and as a result, campaigns were waged in the Baltic, the Black Sea, the White Sea, on the Russian Pacific coast, and in the Sea of Azoff. Seeks to set the record straight by showing how these neglected naval campaigns were remarkably successful, in contrast to the wretched failures that beset the British army on land. Allied warships ranged across Russian waters sinking shipping, disrupting trade, raiding ports, bombarding fortresses, destroying vast quantities of stores, and shelling coastal towns. Contains 30 illustrations.1 vol, 240 pgs

Millar, Ronald KUT: The Death of an Army
Recounts the tragic five-month siege of the British-Indian forces in Mesopotamia during World War I. Reveals the day-to-day preoccupations of not only the Anglo-Indian forces, but also the Turks as well as local civilians caught in the chaos. Throughout the campaign, the British were beaten back by the Turks, and the ever-prevailent human suffering of the men, so far away from home in this foreign ground, less than helped the cause: starvation, heavy shelling, inadequate medical supplies, and disease were all taking their toll. By the end of the campaign, approximately 30,000 British and Indian soldiers had lost their lives.1 vol, 336 pgs

A Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, fluent in multiple languages, and a devoted Christian, Von Senger defied Hitler's orders and was adamantly anti-Nazi.

Von Senger was never considered for war crimes, and was granted the rare privilege of being allowed to explore the English countryside from the Bridgend PoW camp.
