The story of the Roman Republic is the greatest epic in human history. Seen in the long perspective of time, it seems too fantastic to be real. From its modest beginnings as a convenient fording place on the Tiber to its eventual destiny as the mistress of the Mediterranean, Rome offers a strange tale of fate, sacrifice, and indomitable willpower. The stern realities of war shaped its policies from the very beginning.

A History of Rome is the story of a tiny market town on the Tiber, its rise to world domination, and then its slow, terrible plunge to utter ruin. It is the single greatest event in all human history.

A History of Greece is the thrilling story of the rise to power and influence of the greatest civilization the world has ever known. As Cyril Robinson's exquisite narrative unfolds, we find ourselves plunged into mankind's greatest and most magnificent adventure.

The Trials of Nuremberg: Holding Evil Accountable is a powerful and lucid account of the moment the world chose justice over vengeance, truth over denial, and the rule of law over the rule of fear.

Navajo Code Talkers: Voices of the Unbreakable Code by Cyril Marlen tells the extraordinary true story of how a group of young Navajo men turned their ancient language into the most secure military code of World War II—one that not even the best enemy cryptographers could break. When American forces fought their way across the Pacific, secure communication became a matter of life and death. Japanese intelligence had cracked nearly every code the Allies used—until the U.S. Marine Corps enlisted the help of the Navajo Nation.

One of the most oft-used themes for an author to explore is that of themselves and how they see authors in stories coping with everything around them.

Few raids of the Second World War have captured the public imagination like Operation Chastise. Here is the full story—not the familiar headlines, but the unexpected details that reveal how ingenuity, improvisation, and human courage combined to pull off one of history’s most audacious bombing missions.

A century later, the Western Front still speaks—through sodden earth, shattered timber, and the letters of ordinary men who endured the unendurable. Mud, Blood, and Silence is a visceral, human-scale portrait of trench life in the First World War, told not through grand strategy or shifting front lines, but through the cramped inches where millions lived, fought, and waited. It is the story of mud that swallowed boots and hope, blood that seeped into the chalky soil of France and Belgium, and the terrible, watchful silence between bombardments when every heartbeat felt like a countdown.

The Ghost Army: Artists Who Fooled the Nazis by Cyril Marlen is an enthralling account of one of the most ingenious and least-known units of World War II—a secret U.S. Army battalion that fought not with weapons, but with imagination. Bringing together artists, sound engineers, designers, and radio experts, the men of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops—later nicknamed The Ghost Army—waged a war of deception so bold and creative that it changed the very nature of modern warfare.

In the quiet Cambridgeshire countryside, between the villages of Coton and Madingley, lies a place where history and memory meet. The Cambridge American Cemetery, with its sweeping lawns, shining headstones, and solemn Wall of the Missing, is the only permanent American World War II cemetery in the United Kingdom. Nearly 4,000 servicemen and women rest here, and over 5,100 more are inscribed on the wall, their remains lost at sea or over enemy territory.

World War II is remembered as the war of machines: tanks breaking through the Ardennes, bombers darkening European skies, and convoys of trucks pushing supplies to the front. Yet beneath the roar of engines moved another, quieter power — millions of horses and mules, whose muscles pulled the very sinews of war. The Role of the Horse in the Second World War: The Hidden Machine uncovers the forgotten story of these animals, restoring them to the centre of the world’s most mechanised conflict. Far from being relics of the past, horses proved indispensable on every front.

The SS City of Benares was born in the optimism of the interwar years. Launched in 1936 for the Ellerman Line, she embodied reliability, elegance, and the promise of safe passage between Britain and its empire. With her sleek twin funnels and polished interiors, she seemed destined to carry families, officials, and traders eastward in comfort. Yet within only four years, her name would be etched into the darkest chapter of Britain’s wartime history—not for her design or her service in peacetime, but for the lives of the children she carried on her final voyage.

In the spring of 1945, the world witnessed the fall of Nazi Germany and the near-total annihilation of its capital. Berlin, once a metropolis of culture, politics, and ambition, became the stage for one of the most devastating urban battles in modern history. When the guns finally fell silent, the city that had symbolized both Prussian grandeur and Hitler’s vision of a “world capital” lay in ruins—a smoldering monument to the destructive power of total war.

War is often remembered through the lens of soldiers, battles, and political leaders, but one of its most enduring human stories belongs to those too young to fight—the children. At the outbreak of the Second World War, governments across Europe launched evacuation programmes designed to protect their youngest citizens from the horrors of modern warfare. Operation Pied Piper in Britain uprooted nearly 1.5 million people in just a few days, most of them children carrying gas masks and small suitcases, their names tied to their coats like parcels.

Graeme Edge was born on 30th March 1941 in Rochester, Staffordshire. His mother was a pianist for the silent movies and his father, grandfather and great-grandfather were all music-hall singers. Edge trained as a draughtsman but soon went into music full time. He never started out to be a drummer; he was, in fact, the manager of a group called the Blue Rhythm Band. Graeme always watched the drummer in the group and fooled around on the drums, but never really drummed professionally until that drummer quit and he had to fill in. He then bought his first drum kit.
