Free Download William Wright, "A Tidy Little War: The British Invasion of Egypt 1882"
English | ISBN: 0752450905 | 2010 | 320 pages | EPUB | 458 KB
In 1882 the British invaded Egypt in an audacious war that gave them control of the country, and the Suez Canal, for more than 70 years. William Wright gives the first full account of that hard-fought and hitherto neglected campaign, which was not nearly as "tidy" as the British commander would later claim. Using unpublished documents and forgotten books, including the discovery of General Sir Garnet Wolseley’s diaries, Wright highlights how the Egyptian War, climaxing in the dawn battle of Tel-el-Kebir was altogether a close-run thing. The major combined services operation of the late Victorian era also saw the Royal Navy sail into battle for the last time in its old glory and the book has the first full account of the Bombardment of Alexandria.

Free Download Sean McGlynn, "Blood Cries Afar: The Forgotten Invasion of England 1216"
English | ISBN: 0752454625 | 2011 | 256 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
150 years after the Norman Conquest, history came within a hair’s breadth of repeating itself. In 1216, taking advantage of the turmoil created in England by King John’s inept rule, Prince Louis of France invaded England and allied with English rebels. The prize was the crown of England. Within months Louis had seized control of one-third of the country, including London. This is the first book to cover the bloody events of the invasion, one of the most dramatic but most overlooked episodes of British history. The text vividly describes the campaigns, sieges, battles and atrocities of the invasion and its colourful leaders – Louis the Lion, King John, William Marshal, and the mercenaries Fawkes de Béauté and Eustace the Monk – to offer the first detailed military analysis of this epic struggle for England.
