The Second Maori War, or First Taranaki War, was one more bloody instalment of the conflicts between European settlers and the indigenous Maori people in the wars of dominance that marred the creation of New Zealand as a unified country.

Twilight of Medieval Castles: Volume 2
ISBN: 9782352500698 / Angielski / Twarda / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It shows how the castles failed to make the necessary adaptation to the new fighting techniques along with the tastes of the period which also evolved at the end of the period. The incapacity to react to all these constraints was the main reason for the disappearance of the medieval castle. Finally the author evokes the often contrasting fate of some of these buildings which ended up as barracks, prisons or being...

ISBN: 9781586486419 / Angielski / Miękka / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Hastings was also decisive in another way: the horrendous casualties suffered by the English nobility both there and at the two earlier battles of Fulford and Stamford Bridge resulted in there being very few men influential enough to lead an English resistance once William had been crowned. William would survive...

The book concludes with some lessons around which the transatlantic allies might...
