We're going to leave him far behind...

Cutter's Island
Author: Vincent Panella
Publisher: ChicagoReviewPress + ORM
ISBN: 0897338170
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
“This vivid short novel . . . of Caesar’s youthful adventure. . . . Matches the film Gladiator in its vigorous, viscerally affecting depiction of ancient Rome.” —Publishers Weekly Most of us are familiar with the Caesar of Shakespeare and Shaw. We know him primarily as the manipulative warlord and statesman. But what about the Caesar of Plutarch and Suetonius—historians who dealt with Caesar as a young man? Here, in this stunning novel, written with all the excitement and eloquence of an epic poem, we find Caesar at the age of twenty-five captured by pirates as he sails to the Island of Rhodes to study rhetoric with the renowned Apollonias Moon. “An alternately rousing and touching adventure tale that offers an intriguing glimpse into the future dictator's psyche...[and] a panoramic view of Rome. . . . Stirring.” —Booklist “ . . . A lyric, swift and moving, swashbuckling tale” —Robert Fagles, award-winning translator of The Iliad “Cutter’s Island is a perfect flawless gem, without a false note anywhere.” —Steven Pressfield, author of Gates of Fire

ISBN:
Category : History

Book Description
Robert Johnson was just eighteen when he joined the Coast Guard in 1941. Assigned to the cutter Haida before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, he spent his first months on peacetime duty in the Bering Sea. With the advent of the war, however, the cutter embarked on convoy duty in the Gulf of Alaska and along the Aleutians. Far more than the typical war diary, this memoir offers readers a real sense of the enlisted man's life at sea in World War II. --from inside jacket flap.

Russian Warships in the Age of Sail, 1696-1860
Author: John M Tredrea
Publisher: Naval Institute Press

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
Peter the Great created the Russian navy from nothing, but it soon surpassed Sweden as the Baltic naval power, while in the Black Sea it became an essential tool in driving back the Ottoman Turks from Europe. During the 18th century it was the third largest navy in the world yet its history, and especially its ships, are virtually unrecorded in the West. The first comprehensive study in English, it is illustrated with plans, paintings, and prints rarely seen outside Russia.
