Book excerpt: A “lively” tour of the royal residence: Readers “will delight in this well-written chronicle of the House of Windsor.” —Publishers Weekly In this social history of Buckingham Palace, Edna Healey mines the royal archives to take the reader into its moonlit gardens, up the grand staircase, and inside its tapestried walls. Dr. Johnson again holds forth in the library, Queen Victoria encores Mendelssohn in the music room, and Fanny Burney wrestles once more with protocol in the royal chambers. Written with the assistance of the royal family, this lively and colorful biography of a house reveals not only the changing facade of the palace but also the changing face of a nation’s culture, morals, fashions, and tastes.

Download or read book George Goring 1608 1657 written by Dr Florene S Memegalos and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Goring was in many ways the archetypal cavalier, often portrayed as possessing all the worst characteristics associated with the followers of King Charles I. He drank copiously, dressed and entertained lavishly, gambled excessively, abandoned his wife frequently, and was quick to resort to swordplay when he felt his honour was at stake. Yet, he was also an active Member of Parliament and a respected soldier, who learnt his trade on the Continent during the Dutch Wars, and put his expertise to good use in support of the royalist cause during the English Civil War. In this, the first modern biography of Goring, the main events of his life are interwoven with the wider history of his age. Beginning with his family background in Sussex, it charts his successes at court and exploits in the service of the Dutch, culminating in his experiences at the siege of Breda in 1637, and his role in the Bishops' Wars. However, it is his key role as a royalist general during the Civil War that is the major focus of this book, which concludes with Goring's years of exile during the Republic. This fascinating and illuminating account of Goring's life, character and actions, provides not only a fresh examination of this contentious figure, but also reveals much about English society and culture in the first half of the seventeenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Göring Gamble A Mattie McGary + Winston Churchill 1930s Adventure In late 1934, the adventure-seeking Hearst photojournalist Mattie McGary closes in on exposing an international scandal that promises to be one of the biggest stories in her career. Through her godfather Winston Churchill and Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, head of the largest Reform Jewish congregation in the United States, Mattie receives copies of documents showing that in early 1933, Nazi Air Minister Hermann Göring, began to create an illegal thousand-bomber air force forbidden to Germany under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Shockingly, since Germany will not have the capacity to mass-produce advanced high-speed aircraft engines until mid-1935, Göring secretly purchases these advanced engines from American, British and French companies with the private approval of their respective governments. Meanwhile, agents from US Military Intelligence, Scotland Yard’s Special Branch and the French Deuxieme Bureau are prepared to use any means necessary to protect the secret of American, British and French companies selling aircraft engines to the Nazis Now all Mattie has to do is stay alive while she tracks down the sources inside these companies and verifies their documents. From the Wild Atlantic Way in Northwest Ireland to Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Buffalo, Greenwich, New York City, London and Salzburg, Mattie races to interview her sources before they can be killed. Along the way she acquires some unlikely allies including the Jewish gangsters Moe Dalitz in Cleveland and Meyer Lansky in New York as well as Frank Nitti in Chicago. With additional historical supporting characters German Chancellor Adolf Hitler, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, New York attorney and Medal of Honor hero William ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan, American media mogul William Randolph Hearst and Nazi SS Foreign Intelligence head Walter Schellenberg, The Göring Gamble is an authentic, action-packed historical adventure based on actual events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Samuel Pepys' FRS, MP, JP, (pron.: /pi?ps/;[1] 23 February 1633? 26 May 1703) was an English naval administrator and Member of Parliament who is now most famous for the diary he kept for a decade while still a relatively young man. Although Pepys had no maritime experience, he rose by patronage, hard work and his talent for administration, to be the Chief Secretary to the Admiralty under both King Charles II and subsequently King James II. His influence and reforms at the Admiralty were important in the early professionalisation of the Royal Navy.[2] The detailed private diary Pepys kept from 1660 until 1669 was first published in the 19th century, and is one of the most important primary sources for the English Restoration period. It provides a combination of personal revelation and eyewitness accounts of great events, such as the Great Plague of London, the Second Dutch War and the Great Fire of London."--Wikipedia
