Summary

Winter War explores the pivotal 105-day conflict between Finland and the Soviet Union, demonstrating how this David-versus-Goliath struggle significantly shaped World War II. The book analyzes military strategies, global reactions, and the lasting impact of this often-overlooked war, revealing how Finnish resistance exposed critical flaws in the Red Army. This resistance, against Soviet expansionism, emboldened Hitler to launch Operation Barbarossa. The book challenges traditional narratives by highlighting the Winter War's crucial role in shaping the trajectory of World War II. It examines the contrasting military tactics used by both sides, the diplomatic maneuvering, and the influence on Hitler's perception of Soviet military strength. The book progresses methodically, first introducing key players and the pre-war climate, then dissecting military campaigns and diplomatic reactions, culminating in an analysis of the war's propaganda value. Drawing from military archives, diplomatic cables, and personal accounts, Winter War offers a fresh perspective by focusing on the strategic and political ramifications of the conflict. It showcases innovative concepts in winter warfare and how a smaller army withstood a larger power, providing valuable insights for military strategists and those interested in international relations.

    A fascinating portrait of the community of people—and one cat—who’ve traveled the trail end to end, by the founder of the Appalachian Trail Museum.   Countless hikers have walked stretches of the two-thousand-plus-mile Appalachian Trail, but only a small, deeply dedicated group has completed the trek all the way through from Georgia to Maine. This book explores the history of the trail through colorful profiles of those who are a part of this unique community and reveals the customs and culture that have evolved around them over the years.   From the sore muscles to the moments of solitude in nature, from the retired postmaster who parachuted onto the top of Springer Mountain to begin his journey to the woman who set out in tennis shoes because she couldn’t find women’s hiking boots in her size, Walking the Appalachian Trail explores questions of who these end-to-enders are, what drives them, what risks they face, and what rewards to body and soul they gain from this extraordinary walk.   Includes color photographs

    Having sailed with Sir Francis Drake, swashbuckling privateer Rodney Hawkhurst yearns for a galleon of his own with which to plunder the Spanish Main in the name of Queen Elizabeth. Seeking investment from Sir Harry Gillingham, he has a fleeting encounter with an elfin, tomboyish golden-red-haired beauty ? Sir Harry?s youngest daughter Lizbeth ? and is bewitched by her limpid green eyes. Yet it is fair and golden-haired elder sister Phillida with whom he first falls in love... Granted his finances on the condition that Sir Harry?s weak, possibly even traitorous son sails with him in the hope that the mission will make him a man, Rodney embarks on a voyage of blood, honour and glory in which he gains great riches but loses his heart, not once, but twice. The risks are great but so are the rewards: wealth beyond compare and, as Rodney finally discovers, a greater, deeper, more passionate love than he ever imagined possible.

    This is the untold story of Britain's role in the Israel–Palestine conflict. During the First World War, the British High Commissioner in Egypt reached a secret agreement with the Sharif of Mecca. If the Sharif allied with Britain against the Ottomans, after the war an independent Arab state that included Palestine would be established. The Sharif kept his word. The British did not. Instead, two years later Lloyd George's government declared that Palestine would be for the global Jewish community. Through meticulous analysis of official records and private papers, Peter Shambrook exposes how Britain came to betray the Arabs. He debunks the myth that Palestine was never part of the lands guaranteed to the Sharif and details the attempts of successive British governments to prevent the truth from ever becoming public. For anyone interested in the history of the Israel–Palestine conflict, this is a must-read.
