ISBN: 9780300184310 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The age of discovery was at its peak in the eighteenth century, with heroic adventurers charting the furthest reaches of the globe. Foremost among these explorers was navigator and cartographer Captain James Cook of the British Royal Navy. Recent writers have viewed Cook largely through the lens of colonial exploitation, regarding him as a villain and overlooking an important aspect of his identity: his nautical skills. In this authentic, engrossing biography, Frank McLynn reveals Cook's place in history as a brave and brilliant seaman. He shows how the Captain's life was one of...

ISBN: 9780786710881 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Recounting the decade of bloody events that followed the eruption of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, Villa and Zapata explores the regional, international, cultural, racial, and economic strife that made the rebels Francisco (Pancho) Villa and Emiliano Zapata legends. Throughout this volume drama colludes with history, in a tale of two social outlaws who became legendary national heroes, yet--despite their triumph and only meeting, in 1914, in the Mexican capital--failed to make common cause and ultimately fell victim to intrigues more treacherous than their own. 16 pages of black-and-white...

The greatest story of military conquest in history from a 'master storyteller'. (Guardian) Genghis Khan was by far the greatest conqueror the world has ever known, whose empire stretched from the Pacific Ocean to central Europe, including all of China, the Middle East and Russia. So how did an illiterate nomad rise to such colossal power, eclipsing Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Napoleon? Credited by some with paving the way for the Renaissance, condemned by others for being the most heinous murderer in history, who was Genghis Khan? His actual name was Temujin,...

Legend and lore surround the history of kings Richard and John, from the ballads of Robin Hood and the novels of Sir Walter Scott to Hollywood movies.

Lionheart and Lackland : King Richard, King John and the Wars of Conquest
ISBN: 9780712694179 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Anyone who has seen 'The Lion in Winter' will remember the vicious, compelling world of the Plantagenets: the towering, almost psychopathic Henry II, commander of the slaughter of Thomas a' Becket, at war with both his wife the formidable Eleanor of Aquitaine and his sons (including the subjects of this remarkable book, Richard and John). And readers of the romance of Robin Hood will be familiar with the type-casting of Good King Richard, defending Christendom in the Holy Land, and Bad King John who usurps the kingdom in his absence. But how much do these popular stereotypes correspond with...

Invasion: From the Armada to Hitler (1588-1945)
ISBN: 9781909979321 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) ""Has anybody done more - done as much - as Frank McLynn in writing intelligent, combative, thoroughly researched and thoroughly readable history?"" - The Independent
Most people know that Britain was invaded by the Romans, by the Vikings and by the Normans. Many will know about the Spanish Armada, launched by Philip II in 1588 to bring Protestant England to submission. But fewer people know that Philip launched a second armada in 1596 or that invasion plans were drawn up by the French in 1692, 1708, 1743, 1756, 1759, 1796 and 1801, and by the French together with the Spanish in 1779.

Wagons West: The Epic Story of America's Overland Trails
ISBN: 9780802140630 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In what The Washington Post has called fascinating, Frank McLynn has penned a year-by-year account of the pioneering efforts to conquer and settle the American West. Wagons West is a stirring history of the years from 1840 to 1849--the years between the era of the fur trappers and the beginning of the gold rush. In all the sagas of human migration, few can top the drama of the journey by Midwestern farmers to Oregon and California in those years. Although they used mountain men as guides, they went almost literally into the unknown, braving dangers from hunger, thirst, disease, and drowning....

1066: The Year of The Three Battles
ISBN: 9780712666725 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In recent years it has become customary to assume that William the Conqueror's victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 was virtually inevitable, given the alleged superiority of Norman military technology. In this study, underpinned by biographical sketches of the great warriors who fought for the crown of England in 1066, the author aims to show that this view is mistaken. The Battle on Senlac Hill was a desperately close run thing, which Harold lost only because of an incredible run of bad fortune and some treachery from the Saxon elite in England.
