Story1
...And What Do You Do? is a hard-hitting analysis of the royal family, exposing its extravagant use of public money and the highly dubious behaviour of some among its ranks, whilst being critical of the knee-jerk sycophancy shown by the press and politicians. Baker also considers the wider role the royals play in society, including the link with House of Lords reform, and the constitutional position of the monarch, which is important given Prince Charles’ present and intended approach.

In 10 lectures, award-winning historian Patrick N. Allitt transports listeners to England in the 1840s and 1850s. During those two decades, Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, became one of the most influential people in the country and remains a figure of fascination even today. In fact, the British royal family as we know it wouldn't exist without the private and public actions of this detached, impartial, and upright political figure.

Story1
The reign of Richard III, the last Yorkist king and the final monarch of the Plantagenet dynasty, marked a turning point in British history. But despite his lasting legacy, Richard only ruled as king for the final two years of his life. While much attention has been given to his short reign, Michael Hicks explores the whole of Richard's fascinating life and traces the unfolding of his character and career from his early years as the son of a duke to his violent death at the battle of Bosworth.

En la turbulenta Inglaterra del siglo XVI, la figura de Enrique VIII se alza como un soberano fascinante y contradictorio: príncipe humanista y rey guerrero, marido enamorado y esposo implacable, defensor de la fe católica y arquitecto de una Iglesia nacional independiente de Roma. Este libro recorre, a lo largo de doce capítulos, su vida completa: desde su juventud dorada y sus seis matrimonios hasta la ruptura con el papado, la disolución de los monasterios, las intrigas de la corte y el ocaso de un monarca consumido por la enfermedad y la paranoia.

A fresh look at the endlessly fascinating Tudors - the dramatic and overlooked story of Henry VII and his founding of the Tudor Dynasty - filled with spies, plots, counter-plots, and an uneasy royal succession to Henry VIII. Near the turn of the sixteenth century, England had been ravaged for decades by conspiracy and civil war. Henry Tudor clambered to the top of the heap, a fugitive with a flimsy claim to England’s crown who managed to win the throne and stay on it for 24 years.

Assim que Winston Churchill assumiu como primeiro-ministro do Reino Unido, Hitler invadiu a Holanda e a Bélgica. A Polônia e a Tchecoslováquia já haviam sucumbido e a evacuação de Dunquerque ocorreria duas semanas depois. Pelos doze meses seguintes, Hitler travaria uma incessante campanha de bombardeios, matando 45 mil britânicos. Coube a Churchill manter a nação unida e convencer o presidente americano Franklin Roosevelt de que era um aliado valioso―e com disposição para lutar até o fim.

Story1
Charles, first marquis of Cornwallis (1738-1805), was a leading figure in late 18th-century Britain. His career spanned the American War of Independence, Irish Union, the French Revolutionary Wars, and the building of the Second British Empire in India - and he has long been associated with the unacceptable face of Britain's colonial past. In this vivid new biography, Richard Middleton shows that this portrait is far from accurate. Cornwallis emerges as a reformer who had deep empathy for those under his authority and was clear about his obligation to govern justly.
