Utterly Impartial
History Of Britain
£6.74
Many of us were put off history by the dry & dreary way it was taught at school. Back then ' The Origins of the Industrial Revolution' somehow seemed less compelling than the chance to test the bold claim on Timothy Johnson's ' Shatterproof' ruler. But here at last is a chance to have a good laugh & learn all that stuff you feel you really ought to know by now... In this Horrible History for Grown Ups" you can read how Anglo-Saxon liberals struggled to be positive about immigration; ' Look I think we have to try & respect the religious customs of our new Viking friends
- oi he's nicked my bloody ox!' Discover how England's peculiar class system was established by some snobby French nobles whose posh descendents still have wine cellars & second homes in the Dordogne today. And explore the complex socio-economic reasons why Britain's kings were the first in Europe to be brought to heel; (because the Stuarts were such a useless bunch of untalented incompetent arrogant upper-class thickoes that Parliament didn't have much choice.) A book about then that is also incisive & illuminating about now "2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge" is a hilarious informative & cantankerous journey through Britain' fascinating & bizarre history. As entertaining as a witch burning & a lot more laughs."

U-48: The Most
Successful U-Boat Of
The Second World War
£12.79
Following the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 Germany was not permitted to build or operate submarines. Clandestine training about Finnish & Spanish submarines took place & U-boats were still built to German designs in Dutch yards. At the outset of the Second World War Donitz argued for a 300-strong U-boat fleet since his force of 57 U-boats could only inflict pin-pricks against British seaborne trade. In August 1939 U-48 left Germany commanded by Vaddi Schultze to take up a waiting position around Engl&. It scored its first success on 5 September when it torpedoed the British freighter Royal Sceptre then the Winkleigh on 8 September. On both occasions
- the first of many
- Schultze showed himself to be a notable humanitarian: he addressed signals to Churchill giving positions of the sinkings so that crews could be saved. By 1 August 1941 U-48 the most successful boat of the Second World War had sunk 56 merchant ships of 322 478 gross tons & one corvette. She was then transferred to the Baltic as a training boat. Schultze became commander of operation 3 U-Flotilla & later was appointed commander II/ Naval College Schleswig. He died in 1987 at the age of 78. U-48 was scuttled on 3 May 1945.
