ROMAN LEGIONARIES: Soldiers of Empire

Step back in time to experience the might of the Romans. This short history is an accessible and authoritative introduction to how Rome's legions were a force to be reckoned with as they conquered, subdued and ruled on behalf of the empire. The legionary was an elite soldier who, clad in a helmet and banded iron armour, carried a body shield, lead-weighted javelins and a vicious stabbing sword. This book looks at the Principate legionary of the 2nd and early 3rd centuries AD when the empire was at its peak. Chapters include a look at the Republic and empire, the legionary, the soldier on campaign and in battle, non-conflict roles, and a brief look at other Roman troops. Learn that soldiers marched 'on their stomachs', according to 4th century military author Vegetius who decreed they should never be without corn, wine, vinegar and salt. Discover that the fighting style of the legionary was predominantly martial, with drills using wooden replica swords and wicker shields to practice thrusting the weapon rather than slashing as it was a more difficult blow to anticipate. Illustrations and photographs celebrate the success of the Roman forces, from a cross-section diagram of siege lines at Alesia in 52 BC, to an artistic rendering of the legionary legate overseeing the deployment of Legio II Augusta and a photograph of Severan land walls of London near Tower Hill tube station which was built by Roman military. This is a bitesize rundown of every aspect of Roman legionaries and the empire's military success. Paperback, black and white images, 160pp.

SQUARE AND THE TOWER

Book number: 92039 Product format: Hardback Author: NIALL FERGUSON

In stock

Bibliophile price £9.50
Published price $30


Sub-titled 'Networks and Power, From the Freemasons to Facebook', this is a brilliant recasting of the turning points in world history including the one we are living through, as the struggle between old power hierarchies and the new social networks continues. Most history is hierarchical, about popes, presidents, prime ministers and other potentates. It's about states, armies and corporations, it's about orders from on high, but what if that's simply because hierarchical institutions create the archives that historians rely on? What if we are missing the less visible social networks that are the true drivers of change, leaving them to the conspiracy theorists, with their dreams of all-powerful Illuminati? The 21st century has been hailed as the Age of Networks but Ferguson argues that networks have always been with us, from the structure of the brain to the food chain, from the family tree to Freemasonry. It is through networks that revolutionary ideas can spread like contagions. From the cults of Ancient Rome to the dynasties of the Renaissance, from the Founding Fathers to Facebook, Ferguson argues that our era is the Second Networked Age, with the personal computer in the role of the printing press. He shows how network theory, concepts such as homophily, degrees of separation, weak ties, viral contagions, and phase transitions can transform our understanding of both the past and the present. The book looks at Silicon Valley as storm clouds gather over the tech titans, those who prophesize a global community of interconnected netizens are in for a shock, and Ferguson warns as he shows unnerving parallels today in the time of Facebook, the Islamic State and Donald Trump. Chapters include Pizarro and the Inca, When Gutenberg Met Luther, Networks of Enlightenment, The Houses of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Rothschild, The Union of South Africa, The Plague, Henry Kissinger's Network of Power, Breaking the Bank of England, Tweeting the Revolution, Cambridge Analytica and Brexit As A Dress Rehearsal for the US Presidential Election of 2016 and much more. A fascinating read, 563pp, colour photos and diagrams. Remainder mark.

TRIBES OF ANCIENT BRITAIN AND GERMANY

Book number: 92041 Product format: Paperback Author: CORNELIUS TACITUS

In stock

Bibliophile price £4.50
Published price £9.99


Publius Gaius Cornelius Tacitus (AD56-AD117) was a senator and a historian of the Roman Empire. The surviving portions of his two major works, the Annals and the Histories, examine the reigns of the Roman Emperors Tiberius, Claudius, Nero and those who reigned in the Year of the Four Emperors. The works span the history from the death of Augustus in AD14 to the death of Emperor Domitian in AD96. Tacitus as a young man studied rhetoric in Rome to prepare for a career in law and politics. In 112 or 113 he held the highest civilian governorship, that of the Roman province of Asia in Western Anatolia and wrote and published the Agricola and Germania and is considered one of the greatest Roman historians, living in what was called the Silver Age of Latin literature. As well as the brevity and compactness of his Latin prose, he is known for his penetrating insights into the psychology of power politics. Here, the text to 'Tribes of Ancient Britain' and 'A Treatise on the Situation, Manners and Inhabitants of Germany' has been edited and introduced by historian Bob Carruthers. With footnotes, 105pp in softback.

WHAT BLEST GENIUS?: The Jubilee That Made Shakespeare

Book number: 92044 Product format: Hardback Author: ANDREW MCCONNELL STOTT

In stock

Bibliophile price £3.25
Published price £16.99


In the mid-18th century the actor, dramatist, theatre manager - and shameless self-promotor - David Garrick was the most famous man in Britain after the king. Garrick had built his career around the performance and promotion of Shakespeare, and while the Bard was highly acclaimed 150 years after his death in 1616 it took one event to lift him from one great writer amongst many to the "Blest Genius of the Isle", a national icon and literary deity - and this event was Garrick's Shakespeare Jubilee of 1769. Held at Stratford-upon-Avon in September, among the 3,000 attendees were the rich and powerful, the fashionable and curious, eligible ladies and fortune hunters and a horde of journalists, profiteers and hangers-on. For three days they paraded through garlanded streets, listened to songs, poetry and oratorios and enjoyed masked balls in a unique cultural event that was to elevate Shakespeare to the throne of genius. Except it was a disaster. Poorly planned, it imposed an army of Londoners on a backwater hamlet of hostile and superstitious locals who were both unable and unwilling meet their demands. The rain fell in sheets, flooding tents, dampening the much-vaunted fireworks, turning the town into a quagmire and this along with corruption, a poor press, dubious relics and even a giant sea turtle should have seen the event consigned to the bin marked greatest PR disasters. Yet, against all the odds, it was not, Garrick and company somehow wresting a triumph from the catastrophe it clearly was. This is the whole wonderful story, rich with wit, humour, gossip and political intrigue, told from the dual perspectives of organiser Garrick and attendee James Boswell. Packed with minute and often hilarious detail, Stott's recounting of the absurd and chaotic events of those three days is an absolute joy to read. 270pp, b/w illus.

Sub-titled 'How Britain Played the Greater Game From Afghanistan To Africa', much has been written about espionage, secret agents and MI6 missions abroad, but what of the origins of British Intelligence as we know it today? This is the story of intelligence at the height of the British Empire, and the characters that shaped its narrative. Beaver writes with authority and spritely wit about the men who ensured that Victorian Pax Britannica was intelligence-based and intelligence-led and demonstrates convincingly how its gifted operatives influenced and even created imperial policy. He unveils the men who staffed the War Office's Intelligence Division, and above all looks at their tenacity and imagination. He looks at their shrewd observations and analysis of international events which provided the basis for modern military espionage and changed the landscape of the British Empire from India to South Africa. He focusses on the years between the Crimean War and the formation of MI5 and MI6 at the start of the 20th century and charts the Intelligence Division's course from a misunderstood army unit to an elite body, central to the British military. The book is a rollicking adventure into the minds behind the muscles of the British Army, their successes, sacrifices and expertise in weaving a global net of information. 340pp, paperback, photos.

Bibliophile price £6.00
Published price £25


A treasure trove for history buffs, Marsh fleshes out the context behind famous quotations associated with each day of the year, sending us back and forth in history from the time of the Ancient Egyptians to the world we live in today. 'You furnish the pictures, I'll furnish the war.' (25th April 1898) newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst urges war artist Frederick Remington to stay in Cuba while Hearst publishes lurid tales of an imaginary conflict. 'I am tasting the stars!' (4th August 1693). The monk Dom Pérignon tests the result of his new techniques in the making of a sparkling wine, and champagne is born. 'I shall hear in heaven.' (26th March 1827), the profoundly deaf Ludwig van Beethoven dies leaving us with those poignant last words. 'It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.' (10th April 1919), Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata lives up to his own dictum by dying on his feet in a hail of bullets. 'From the sublime to the ridiculous is only a step.' (18th October 1812), Napoleon's all-conquering Grande Armée begins its slow and ignominious retreat from Moscow. From 1st January 404AD the last gladiator fight: 'Hail, Caesar! They who are about to die salute you.', 2nd January 1492 Ferdinand and Isabella capture Granada, the last Moorish stronghold in Spain: 'You do well to weep like a woman for what you could not defend like a man' to 31st December 192AD: Emperor Commodus is assassinated: 'A befuddled drunkard shall not outwit a woman deadly sober.' The book is a real feast to enjoy day after day, the text containing hundreds of quotes in all about 1,200. Morsels of history to tempt you day after day, a hefty tome of 680pp with pagemarker.

WAR: How Conflict Shaped Us

Book number: 92150 Product format: Hardback Author: MARGARET MACMILLAN

In stock

Bibliophile price £4.00
Published price £20


University of Oxford and Professor of History, University of Toronto, Margaret Macmillan's book is based on her 2018 Reith Lectures, The Mark of Cain. Despite the 'long peace' enjoyed by much of the world since 1940, there has been war somewhere in the world every year. Is war an essential part of being human? Macmillan explores the deep links between society and war and the questions they raise. As societies have changed and technologies have developed, we have fought wars differently and often over greater distances and for longer periods of time. In turn, war has brought huge changes to society, for better and worse. Economies, science, technology, medicine, culture - all are instrumental in war and have been shaped by it. Without war we would not have had centralised states, penicillin, radar or rockets. Throughout history, writers, artists, composers and philosophers have been inspired by war and we have tried again and again to limit and even outlaw war, but if we want to understand our own history and create a peaceful world, we must think about war. The writing style is crisp and there is an enviable clarity of thought as Macmillan cogently explains via colourful historical anecdotes how we understand what war means, our emotions, our ideas and capacity for good as well as cruelty. Winner of the Sunday Times Best Book for Autumn 2020. 328pp, colour and other photos.

ANTHOLOGY OF ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIAN TEXT

Book number: 92153 Product format: Hardback Author: SABINE FRANKE

In stock

Bibliophile price £7.00
Published price £16.99


'When the gods were human' is the beginning of an Old Babylonian tale which refers to a mythical period of time before mankind and the gods had to 'do all chores themselves'. It is just one story in a collection that transports the reader to the ancient Near East (what is now modern Syria and Iraq). Anthology of Ancient Mesopotamian Text translates Akkadian and Sumerian literature and captures the imagination, even in those stories where there are gaps as so few copies are preserved completely. The first of the tales is about when the gods were human, The Ancient Near Eastern Tale of the Deluge in which the gods bore hardship day and night for 2,500 years under the king Anu before the other gods revolted. There is a fascinating story called The Babylonian Theodicy which is a 'dialogue about the indifference of the gods' and sees a sufferer tell a friend that 'melancholy and sorrow blacken my face'. The story of the tooth worm is morbidly amusing and narrates the tale of an animal which was created by a quagmire and wished to feast upon human's gums instead of figs, apricots and apples. The book also includes small invocations and prayers to the gods, from a letter in which a person asks why they have been neglected and a lullaby for a baby whose cries disturbed the household god, to the Ishtar hymn of Ammiditana who praises 'mistress of womankind' and describes the goddess as possessing 'seductive appearance, cosmetics and attractiveness'. The stories are translated by a group of authors and are based on academic editions of the tales which are listed in the book's notes. A chronological table at the back of the book also offers readers a rough orientation of ancient Mesopotamia, from the invention of writing in Uruk around 3,200 BC and the supremacy of the Dynasty of Akkade between 2320 and 2170 BC, to the Conquest of Babylon by Cyrus II of Persia and the loss of independence in 539 BC. 122pp.

DATE WITH THE HANGMAN: A History of Capital Punishment

Book number: 92156 Product format: Paperback Author: GARY DOBBS

In stock

Bibliophile price £6.00
Published price £12.99


For more than a millennium, criminals in the British Isles were beheaded, garrotted, hung, drawn and quartered for crimes as varied as serial murder to impersonating a Chelsea Pensioner. Certain forms of execution, such as beheading, were reserved for the nobility, and up to the 18th century decapitated heads were displayed publicly on London Bridge. Hanging became the principal method of punishment at about the same time as the beginning of the movement for the abolition of the death penalty. In 1861 the number of capital crimes was reduced to four, and the last judicial executions took place in 1964 with permanent abolition in 1969. A number of high-profile miscarriages of justice contributed to the abolition, among them the trial of serial strangler John Christie in 1953, during which it emerged that a fellow housemate had been executed a few years earlier for a crime of which Christie was now found guilty. Another controversial case was the hanging of 19-year-old Derek Bentley, a mentally challenged young man whose younger accomplice had fired the lethal shot. Starting in 1900, the author lists all the judicial executions in Britain, totalling 865. Most entries are brief, giving the name, age, crime, date of hanging and name of the hangman, but some celebrated cases are described in detail. These include Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged, who was executed at Holloway in 1955 by Albert Pierrepoint, a member of a dynasty of chief hangmen. Ruth admitted killing her lover when she found him with another woman and made it clear she felt she deserved to die. By contrast, George Joseph Smith, the "brides in the bath" murderer, cold-bloodedly drowned a series of women for their money. 142pp, paperback, photos.
