Book Synopsis Bloody British History: Oxford by : Paul Sullivan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the history of Oxford as you have never encountered it before. The first historical record of Oxford laments that the city has been burnt to the ground by Vikings. Its religious houses were founded by a woman who blinded her would-be attacker. Its students were poverty-stricken desperados in perpetual armed conflict with the townsmen. One of its principal colleges, meanwhile, doubled as a slaughterhouse — and its richest streets and university edifices backed on to some of the most pestilential slums in England. With a mangled skeleton in every cupboard, this is the real story of the Oxford. Read it if you dare!

Book Synopsis Mud, Blood and Poppycock by : Gordon Corrigan
Download or read book Mud, Blood and Poppycock written by Gordon Corrigan and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of how Britain won the First World War. The popular view of the First World War remains that of BLACKADDER: incompetent generals sending brave soldiers to their deaths. Alan Clark quoted a German general's remark that the British soldiers were 'lions led by donkeys'. But he made it up. Indeed, many established 'facts' about 1914-18 turn out to be myths woven in the 1960s by young historians on the make. Gordon Corrigan's brilliant, witty history reveals how out of touch we have become with the soldiers of 1914-18. They simply would not recognize the way their generation is depicted on TV or in Pat Barker's novels. Laced with dry humour, this will overturn everything you thought you knew about Britain and the First World War. Gordon Corrigan reveals how the British embraced technology, and developed the weapons and tactics to break through the enemy trenches.

Book excerpt: This book brings to light a fascinating collection of images from the city's museum archives and library files. They present a vivid portrait of the changing city, and will give the reader an evocative insight into Peterborough's past. Some of the views are of streets and buildings which are instantly recognisable, but others show scenes that have long since disappeared, been demolished or altered beyond recognition to make way for redevelopment. These pictures are priceless, capturing moments in Peterborough's history and in the lives of the city's inhabitants that would otherwise be lost forever.
