Excerpt from Napoleon: 1769 1821Far from Napoleon being concerned as to probable political consequences, he asserted it would teach the Bourbons a lesson. On the other hand, the Memoirs of Barras, a prominent figure in the French Revolution, might have been of considerable service to us in gathering information as to Bonaparte's early career, had it not been proved beyond question that much he tells us is sheer bare-faced untruth, and he every...

Excerpt from War in the UnderseasSea-Power strangled Germany and saved the world. Even when the Kaiser's legions were riding roughshod over the greater part of Europe its grip was slowly throttling them. Despite the murderous mission of mine and U-boat, it kept the armies of the Allies supplied with men and munitions, and scoured the world for both. When the British Fleet took up its war stations in the summer of 1914 it became the Heart of Th...

Excerpt from Daring Deeds of Merchant Seamen in the Great WarWhen the Central Powers severed this bond of brotherhood by culpable ruthlessness and foul murder, the alienation of German sailors merely served to consolidate the remainder. Far from putting the wind up their former fellow voyagers, the frightfulness of the Huns drew them nearer together.

Excerpt from Heroic Deeds of the British Navy in the Great WarWhen Jack Tar abandoned his tarpaulin petticoat his backbone remained where it had always been, and it is still stiff. If the smell of hemp has been succeeded by the reek of oil, his nose is still keen on the scent of the enemy. To bring him into the fight quicker, the creaking of the sails has given place to the rhythm of the turbine. Jack's immediate environment has altered but th...

Excerpt from Napoleon: 1769 1821 There is no more marvellous story in human history than that of Napoleon I., Emperor of the French.

The demand is by no means exhausted, the...

Excerpt from The Story of Lord Roberts Autobiography and its half-brother biography are two of the most useful members of the great family of literature. Lord Roberts placed a high value on their services. His own fascinating Forty-One Years in India and his careful study of The Rise of Wellington are sufficient proofs of this. If further guarantee were necessary I have it in a letter he wrote to me a little over a year before the outbreak of...
