Despite the British being early abolitionists, a significant slave trade remained down the east coast of Africa through the mid-1800s. What further undermined the British Empire was that many of the vessels involved in the trade were themselves British ships. The Royal Navy`s response was to dispatch a squadron to patrol Africa`s coast. Following what began as a simple policing action, this is the story of the four Royal Naval officers who witnessed how rampant the slave trade remained & made it their personal mission to end it. When the disruption of the trade ships started to step on the toes of the wealthy merchant class, the campaign was cancelled. However, in the end a coalition of naval officers & abolitionists forced the British government`s hand into eradicating the slave trade entirely. Squadron grew from historian John Broich`s passion to hunt down first-hand accounts of this untold story. Through research from archives throughout the UK, Broich tells a tale of defiance in the face of political corruption, while delivering thrills in the tradition of high-seas heroism. If it weren`t a true story, Squadron would be right at home alongside Patrick O` Brian`s Master & Commander series. ...

If the financial City of London is her heart & the parks her lungs, then London's squares must be her soul. The London square is quintessentially English. Residential or commercial, historical or architecturally ground-breaking, the square is one of the capital's most familiar & loved features. Square London endeavours to investigate the history of the London square, from its oldest
- Covent Garden & Bloomsbury, to its most recent
- Canada & Highbury. The focus is not on architectural value or style but on the life of the square, its occupants past & present, significant events of national importance & the dark secrets of individual buildings & their tenants. Each square featured in this book has its own unique story, whether through buildings which still exist or have sadly disappeared, characters both past & present or events of tremendous public joy or deep shock & horror. What becomes apparent is the role the London square has played in the history of this great nation. The square's of London mirror the capital's highs & lows, from the celebrations in Trafalgar Square when Britain was awarded the 2012 Olympic games, to the loss & devastation on July 7th when terrorists killed 52 innocent people
- 13 of them in Tavistock Square. It has been over 100 years since the publication of a book about London's squares & this book seeks to address the void of past historical neglect & link the London square to events of national & international importance.
