Nerva and the Roman Succession Crisis of AD 96-99
ISBN: 9780415289177 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The imperial succession at Rome was notoriously uncertain, and where possible hereditary succession was preferred. But when the infamous emperor Domitian was assassinated in AD 96, he had no sons and had executed several family members who might have succeeded him; the uncertain situation provoked a dangerous crisis. John Grainger's study looks at this period of intrigue and conspiracy. He explores how, why and by whom Domitian was killed, the rule of Nerva, chosen to succeed him, and finally Nerva's own choice of successor, Trajan, who became a strong and respected emperor against the odds....

ISBN: 9781783272556 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Three battles for the control of the key fortress-city of Gaza took place in 1917 between the British' force (with units from across the Empire, most notably the ANZACs) and the Turks.

This third battle, similar in many ways to the...

Dictionary of British Naval Battles
ISBN: 9781783271641 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 602 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This very substantial, comprehensive dictionary contains entries on all the battles fought at sea by British fleets and ships since Anglo-Saxon times. Major battles, such as Trafalgar or Jutland, minor actions, often convoy and frigate actions, troop landings, bombardments and single ship actions are all covered. Most accounts of British naval power focus on the big battles and the glorious victories - the picture which emerges from the rich detail in this dictionary, however, is of a busy, dispersed navy, almost constantly engaged in small scale activity - taking prizes in the eighteenth...

Great Power Diplomacy in the Hellenistic World
ISBN: 9781472484291 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Diplomacy is a neglected aspect of Hellenistic history, despite the fact that war and peace were the major preoccupations of the rulers of the kingdoms of the time. It becomes clear that it is possible to discern a set of accepted practices which were generally followed by the kings from the time of Alexander to the approach of Rome. The republican states were less bound by such practices, and this applies above all to Rome and Carthage. By concentrating on diplomatic institutions and processes, therefore, it is possible to gain a new insight into the relations between the kingdoms....

The Battle of Yorktown, 1781: A Reassessment
ISBN: 9781843831372 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Yorktown (1781), where a British Army, commanded by Lord Cornwallis, surrendered to the American forces under George Washington and their French allies, has generally been considered one of the decisive battles of the American War of Independence. This accessible and authoritative account of the battle and the wider campaign goes back to original source material (diaries, letters, speeches, and newspapers), offering both a narrative of the events themselves, and an analysis of how the defeat came about and why it came to be seen as crucial. It shows that the battle was really a siege, that it...

The League of the Aitolians
ISBN: 9789004109117 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 585 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Aitolians have had a bad press, regarded as pirates and brigands, and their state as a pirate state built on terrorist tactics. This book treats them as what they really were, a normal Hellenistic state. They constructed an original and successful polity which provided peace and prosperity for its inhabitants, and played a major part in Greek history for a century and a half.
The approach is chronological, beginning with the origin and formation of the league and its early expansion, and then dealing with its long duel with Macedon, and concluding with its destruction by Rome. This... The Aitolians have had a bad press, regarded as pirates and brigands, and their state as a pirate state built on terrorist tactics. This book treats t...

The Maritime Blockade of Germany in the Great War: The Northern Patrol, 1914-1918
ISBN: 9780754635369 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 874 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Tenth Cruiser Squadron of the Grand Fleet had the task of patrolling the seas between Scotland and Greenland to intercept enemy ships trying to escape into the ocean and merchant ships who could be carrying goods destined for Germany. This was a task of great political sensitivity, since almost all the ships intercepted were neutrals, and requiring great physical endurance from ships and men in the violent North Atlantic. The Maritime Blockade of Germany in the Great War is a comprehensive collection of the records of the Northern Patrol. It consists of regular reports of the admirals in...

Alexander the Great Failure: The Collapse of the Macedonian Empire
ISBN: 9781847251886 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Alexander the Great's empire stretched across three continents and his achievements changed the nature of the ancient world. But for all his military prowess and success as a conqueror, John Grainger argues that he was one of history's great failures. Alexander's arrogance was largely responsible for his own premature death; and he was personally culpable for the failure of his imperial enterprise. For Alexander was king of a society where the ruler was absolutely central to the well-being of society as a whole. When the king failed, the Macedonian kingdom imploded, something which had...

The Amiens Truce: Britain and Bonaparte 1801 - 1803
ISBN: 9781843830412 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 1801 Britain and Bonaparte made an armistice, which became the Treaty of Amiens in March 1802. In the brief period of peace which followed, British attitudes underwent a major change, so that when war began again in May 1803 there was little or no dissent from the view that the war had to be fought to a finish and Bonaparte's power destroyed. This was partly the result of Bonaparte's underhand methods during negotiations; but it was also due to the conclusion reached by the many British visitors to France during the interval of peace that Bonaparte was extremely dangerous, anger at his...
