[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
This volume features some of the beautiful and illuminating artworks created by the artists who traveled with European explorers. It also includes excerpts of the writings of the explorers. These histories are fascinating but often horrifyingly colonialist. It's a startling look into the minds of the Europeans of this era.

This is a careful and scholarly book which plays down the epic moments like the bombardment of Gibraltar and the duel between the Serapis and the Bonhomme Richard. In their place we have not only an account of all the main naval actions, including the combats on the lakes and rivers, but also of the organisation, supply and manning of the various navies on both sides.
If you are familiar only with the land war then read this as a corrective.

This is the detailed backstory of a covert race during World War II to build the world's first atomic bomb. Robert Oppenheimer, teamed with American and British physicists, toil in the New Mexico desert while the Soviet Union works to better their timeline. Journalist John Harte's detailed research provides an excellent resource for future historians who wish to understand the espionage, experiments, challenges, and conspiracies revolving around the first atomic weapon deployment in 1945.
