Two Men in a Trench
Author: Tony Pollard
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780718144746
Category : Battlefields
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
In this volume, Tony Pollard and Neil Oliver visit the sites of six major British battles, from Shrewsbury to Culloden, and carry out a full archaeological investigation at each. As they uncover artefacts abandoned in the heat and chaos of battle they closely follow the progress of each engagement and answer key historical questions, sometimes totally revising the accepted version of events. Each chapter is a fully framed investigation and follows an episode of the BBC television series. By using archaeology to unlock the secrets of the past, Tony and Neil prove that soldiers do not pass through fields of conflict like shadows, and in the process they show that battlefields are some of our most important national monuments.

Kanone II
Author: Edmund LeRoy
Publisher: New Generation Publishing
ISBN: 1785078984
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
1917 is drawing to a close. Two battle-hardened armies lie exhausted in the snow-covered trenches of the Ste Helene Salient. The crimson skies above them are empty. Heroes have fallen. Others are broken in spirit. An uneasy calm has descended upon this part of the Western Front. But it cannot last. Far behind the front line two formidable women are driven together, one by her search for vengeance, the other by her obsessive determination to achieve the impossible. But vengeance and obsession are dangerous companions, and when they join forces the consequences are catastrophic. Oberkanone is the second part of the Kanone trilogy. Once again Homer's epic the Iliad is transported from the windswept plains of Troy to the frozen killing fields of France. Once again the timeless tale of tragedy unfolds, a tale that speaks of man's indomitable pride and his insatiable lust for glory.
