Very informative! I've been quite interested into Japanese culture, especially in Ninjas. To be fair - my "knowledge" about them has so far come from Animes and books and they've always been portrayed rather different. It was great to read some more actual references about Ninjas and Japanese culture and get a more realistic view on that. Very informative and an actually educational read!

The author has conducted some wonderful research and has uncovered lots of information that is likely to be new to the reader. One example is that rockets were fired from submerged submarines and that this may have happened near the Atlantic East of America. There is much to learn from this book, and I have to say that it is highly commended. Any World War 2 submarine buff would love to get their hands on a copy, and it is well worth the cover price.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book for the simple fact that it has given me another way of thinking about the Norman Conquest. "English Collusion and the Norman Conquest" is well-written and interesting, but it leaves plenty for your imagination - which is something that I hadn't expected, but it worked for me! I would like to read more by this author - particularly on the same subject.

This is, as the blurb says, Boys' Own Paper stuff - the precursor of Biggles. A real-life German flying Ace from the same era as the Red Baron. An amazing story!

In this meticulously researched volume, Allister Vale and John Scadding provide a uniquely comprehensive and readable account of Churchill’s many medical problems, from childhood to his terminal illness, set in the context of his life as one of the greatest statesmen of the twentieth century. Pneumonia threatened Churchill’s life on several occasions and in his later decades he suffered multiple strokes; his ability to continue in high office during these illnesses was exceptional, aided by some of the most distinguished specialists of their time. Drawing on many medical and non-medical sources, the clinical, political and personal aspects of his many illnesses are woven seamlessly together. A superbly rounded account of the great man emerges in a most engaging narrative.
