Download or read book The War for All the Oceans written by Roy Adkins and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-07-29 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brutal, action-packed account of the sea battles of the Napoleonic War by the author of the bestselling Nelson’s Trafalgar and co-author of the forthcoming Gibraltar: The Greatest Siege in British History (March 2018) As he did with his much lauded Nelson’s Trafalgar, Roy Adkins (now writing with wife Lesley) again thrusts readers into the perils and thrills of early-nineteenth-century warfare. From its very first page, this is an adventure story--a superb account of the naval war that lasted from Napoleon’s seizure of power in 1798 to the War of 1812 with the United States. Providing a ringside seat to the decisive battles, as well as detailed and vivid portraits of sailors and commanders, press-gangs, prostitutes, and spies, The War for All the Oceans is “a rollicking, patriotic account of the Napoleonic wars that will go down well with Master and Commander fans” (The Telegraph).

Readers will find helpful advice not merely to succeed in this profession, but to change the profession itself." - Kevin Kumashiro, University of San Francisco “Professor Cyprès’ book is a wake up call to the professoriate to rescue our profession from the clutches of those wanting to make scholars obedient servants of power. Her analysis and prescriptions provide guidelines and hope for revitalizing and energizing this once honored profession.” - From the foreword by Joel Spring, Queens College and Graduate Center, City University of New York In this important new book, Autumn Tooms Cyprès provides her readers with a critical examination of the people who teach and produce research and scholarship in our institutions of higher education.

Download or read book Nelson and Napoleon written by Christopher Lee and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horatio Nelson is Britain's greatest naval hero; Trafalgar, in 1805, her greatest naval victory. Nelson and Napoleon, first published in 2005, is the story of how Britannia came to rule the waves for more than a hundred years. Christopher Lee re-examines the myths of Trafalgar, plotting Napoleon's overweening ambition to invade England and Nelson's single-minded dedication to seeking glory. He shows how Villeneuve had worked out Nelson's famous plan of attack, and demonstrates how the battle could easily have turned the other way. Lee also paints a vivid picture of the protagonists: particularly of the creation of a national hero in Nelson and his intense rivalry with Napoleon. 'Christopher Lee's vivid and painstaking account cuts through the folklore, replacing it with wonderful insights into early nineteenth-century Britain and Europe.' Daily Express
