    by 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 ... Read more

  • The Dam Busters

    In the Words of the Bomber Crews

    by W. B. Bartlett ...
    It was not long before midnight on 17 May 1943 when the inhabitants of Gunne, the German village close to the Mohne Dam, heard the airraid warnings.

  • Titanic 9 Hours to Hell

    by W. B. Bartlett ...
    A major new history of the disaster that weaves into the narrative the first-hand accounts of those who survived.

  • After Agincourt

    The French Campaigns of Henry V

    by 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 ... Read more

  • The Mongols: From Genghis Khan to Tamerlane

    From Genghis Khan to Tamerlane

    by 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 ... Read more

  • Zulu

    Queen Victoria's Most Famous Little War

    by 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 ... Read more

  • Richard the Lionheart

    The Crusader King of England

B. Bartlett looks at his deeds and ... Read more

  • The Fall of Christendom

    The Road to Acre 1291

    by 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 ... Read more
