Empire of Fortune: Crowns, Colonies and Tribes in the Seven Years War in America

6 reviews
Francis Jennings

W. W. Norton & Company, 1988

Opinionated - but Excellent History
This is an excellent climax to his 'Covenant Chain' trilogy. This work and the books that preceded them are instrumental in attempting to revise two hundred years of historical tradition. This is not a narrative work of military history. This is investigative reporting of the past. It is challenging, in your face, and above all passionate. This is a great book for someone familiar with ...

Blue-Eyed Child of Fortune: The Civil War Letters of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw

Robert Gould Shaw

University of Georgia Press, 1999

The "real" Robert Gould Shaw is in these pages
If, like me, you have seen the film "Glory", where Matthew Broderick plays Col. Robert Gould Shaw, white commander of the black 54th Massachusetts Regiment during the Civil War, you will see only a brief a glimpse of who Shaw was in his short life. Broderick does a masterful job of capturing some of Shaw's personality, but if you want to get inside this young man's head and find out who he really ...

in dire need of a thorough editing
Let's set things straight: this is a great book. Any of the criticisms I shall list below is perfectly true but does not diminish its value. Fortunes of War is a long, satisfying gay romance with an interesting historical setting: I am no scholar and cannot say whether Mr Keegan has his xvi century history right but the setting is nonetheless perfectly convincing. The plot may look like a ...

Enter The War of 1812, and The United States
THE FORTUNE OF WAR is the sixth volume in Patrick O'Brian's masterful adventure series about Captain Jack Aubrey, R.N. and his dear friend, Dr. Stephen Maturin. Though the Aubrey-Maturin novels can stand more-or-less alone, the narratives are closely linked. THE FORTUNE OF WAR in this way finds Aubrey's ship, HMS Leopard, limping into the fictional bay of Pulo Batang in the Spice Islands, after ...

In Patriot Pirates, Robert H. Patton tells the story of the American privateers in the Revolution. The book covers the entire war from Boston to Yorktown. American merchants armed hundreds of small ships to interdict the British maritime supply lines. Patton illustrates how patriotism and business came together in the privateers.

Blue-Eyed Child of Fortune: The Civil War Letters of Col. Robert Gould Shaw

1 review

Avon Books (P), 1994

An Unmotivated Hero?
Russell Duncan has done us a favor by making available, and editing meticulously, Colonel Shaw's letters. The problem lies with his bias: it's fashionable today to read the biographies of old-time heros with suspicion, running any plaudits they may have amassed through filters of class, race, politics, gender, and so on. The result usually debunks the hero, which is fashionable, too. This ...

Ypres: Death of an Army (Fortunes of War)
Anthony Ferrar-Hockley

Cerberus Publishing Ltd., 2005

On October 12 1914, Allied forces mounted an attack in the Ypres area with the intention of recapturing Lille and driving deep into Belgium. Attack and counter-attack, with very little ground lost or taken, died away in stalemate with 58000 men of the old British regular army fallen in one month of fighting.

Richthofen: The Red Knight of the Air (Fortunes of War)

Claud W Sykes

Cerberus Publishing Ltd., 2005

Reconstructs History Like A Crime Scene
As carefully as a detective studying a contemporary killing, Mr. Titler pores over first-hand accounts, interviews surviving eyewitnesses, studies archived documents and revisits the scene of the death of Germany's infamous Red Baron. Long before anyone dared suggest such a notion in front of a wide audience, Titler challenged the accepted account that the Baron was downed by Canadian flyer Roy ...
