Book Description
'A riveting read ... a dark story of murder and deceit with verve and insight' John Woolf, author of The Wonders THE LIFE AND DEATH OF A 19TH-CENTURY CIRCUS LEGEND On 28 November 1911 a retired showman died violently at his home in North London. Known to the world as Lord George Sanger, he was once the biggest name in show business, and was venerated as a national institution. The death of Britain's wealthiest showman read like a popular crime thriller: a merciless killer; a famous victim; sensational media headlines; a desperate manhunt laced with police incompetencies and a dramatic denouement few could have anticipated. But for over a century, questions have persisted about the murder. Weaving in the story of George's rise to fame and the history of Britain's entertainment industry, The Killing of Lord George uses previously unpublished archive material to reconstruct the events leading up to the death and reveal the true story behind the brutal crime that shocked Edwardian England.

The Killing Fields of Scotland
Author: R.J.M Pugh
Publisher: Casemate Publishers
ISBN: 1783469889
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
Most people are familiar with references to Scottish battles such as Bannockburn and Flodden but know little if anything about those events. Rugby and soccer fans outside Scotland may wonder at the sign 1314 held up by Scottish fans and not know that it is the date of the Battle of Bannockburn when an English king was defeated on Scottish soil. The battle is also commemorated in Scotlands unofficial national anthem, The Flower of Scotland. Battles fought on Scottish soil include those of the Scottish Wars of Independence, those occasioned by the English Civil Wars and the Jacobite Rebellions. This book tells the stories of these battles and many others fought in Scotland from the Roman victory at Mons Graupius in AD 83 to the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie at Culloden Moor in 1746.

The sweeping saga of an island torn in half by ancient hostility and outside influences, Eaten by the Gods intertwines the branches of two Irish families facing The Trouble, from the heartless greed of the Potato Famine in the 1800s when a million fled to the Colonies and a million starved at home, to the terrorism between Northern Ireland and the Republic in the twentieth century. Sean Coole, a Protestant pacifist from Belfast, and Kitty Conover, an Irish Republican Army Catholic from Dublin, love their divided land and each other with equal passion. But in this isle of intrigue where brother can fight against brother and be eaten by the gods of religion and politics, they find that the sons and daughters who loved Ireland must also be willing to kill-and die-for it.
