Dorset is a maritime county with a long & varied coastline, & a long & complex history. Some aspects of this past are well known, others less so but all are equally fascinating, from the three thousand year old carving of a ship, which was found in Wales, but which depicts a vessel from Dorset, to the vicious pirates which infested the Isle of Purbeck. From the unlikely heroes who swept these pirates from the sea, to the merchants who sailed to Africa & brought gold & ivory to the tiny port of Lyme Regis. Even aspects of the coast that may seem dull, such as sea defences & land reclamation, can have an amazing history. From the first attempts to keep back the sea in the 770s, to the grandiose scheme nine hundred years later to drain the Fleet Lagoon, to the military men who turned their skills at fighting the French to fighting the sea, & who rebuilt the Cobb at Lyme Regis so that it has stood firm for two hundred years, the story is intriguing & exciting. Finally this book can suggest where you can see, perhaps surprising, traces of the coast's remarkable past. Evidence of the Black Death, which entered Britain at Weymouth in 1348, carvings of the ships which took the stone to pave London's streets, or the many different lifeboat stations at Lyme Regis (and the curious fate of the earliest). Dorset & the Sea tells the remarkable story of possibly Dorset's greatest natural resource & the relationship that Man has had with it over the millennia. ...

Dorset's pivotal role in the Second World War is well known, not least thanks to the researches & publications of Rodney Legg. In this new book, he turns his attentions to the county in the Great War
- the experience on the Home Front & Dorset's contribution to the eventual victory. Covering subjects as diverse as the Dorset Regiments, the vital Naval presence at Portland & Dorset's War Poets, Rodney Legg also emphasizes that in terms of interest for the reader, the bonus is that much of what happened in Dorset during the First World War turns out to have been either directly or indirectly due to the ideas & enthusiasms of Winston Churchill, including the ground-breaking development of the tank. Packed with information & illustrated with historic images, Dorset in the First World War is a fascinating portrait of how the " War to End all Wars" impacted on what in other circumstances might have remained a largely remote & bucolic corner of rural Engl&, that instead was thrust into the maelstrom of international conflict.
