Excerpt from Defeat or Victory? The Strength of Britain Book Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. There is destruction - and madness too - in Europe. This nation, leader of the world in great and solemn causes, Mother of Parliaments and guardian of the freedom of mankind, stands at the parting of the ways. For her it is now, if never before. Defeat or Victory. We make no apology, therefore, for the course adopted with this little book. It is still young, only two or three weeks old as these words are written, but already it has a new name and many new things in its pages. The rapid exhaustion of its first 100,000 copies has justified its entering on this second 100,000; and no longer do we think simply of Defeat. We look ahead, we see the stirring of Authority, we feel the throb of a mighty passion rising in the State, and we think of the Victory that is coming - here at home and there abroad. It must come. Nero will not fiddle while the British Empire falls, nor can the sinister facts of this solemn hour long remain. The nation has only to know them, and they are being made known. Whether Officialdom will or no, the truth will burst its bonds and make its way. The day will come when it shall be known to all men in this land that Prohibition of the Drink Trade during the war would have. Saved, in Drink expenditure and its results, 1,000,000,000. Added a hundred days to our war work; Saved over 200,000,000 cubic feet of shipping; Set free for war work 100,000 trains of 200 tons; Saved the waste of 1,000,000 acres of land; Released man-power enough to lift 60,000,000 tons; Enormously relieved the strain on the Red Cross; Released thousands of doctors and nurses; Saved food to feed the nation 3 months; or Saved enough food to feed the Army and Navy all the time. Those are the stern facts of the situation; they are the facts about the price we have paid for Drink during the War. The nation has only to know them to fling this pro-German trade outside our threatened land, and it is the mission of this book to make them known. The Strength of Britain Movement has made this book its own, as part of its Win-the-War Campaign for Prohibition.

Excerpt from The Pomp of Power The co-operation between Great Britain and France which was destined to save civilisation had its origin in the Entente between the two countries concluded by Lord Lansdowne and M. Declasse in 1904. That understanding was the logical sequence of German policy and of Germany's resolution to impose her will upon Europe. It was the inevitable result of the use Germany made of her victory in the War of 1870: which should for all time serve as a reminder to the conquerors of a day not to forget that their grandsons will pay for their errors. Bismarck alone amongst the rulers of his nation saw the danger. But von Moltke and his supporters were able to override him, and he was forced to go with the tide. It was in 1875 that Great Britain received her first shock respecting the extent of German ambitions. The Times correspondent in Paris, the celebrated de Blowitz, was able to expose the design then being hatched to attack France again solely because she was recovering too quickly from the effects of her defeat. It required the intervention of both England and Russia to prevent that outrage; and possibly also to open the eyes of the Emperor, Wilhelm I., to the machinations of his Chancellor. Bismarck never forgot nor forgave the letter which Queen Victoria wrote his sovereign on this occasion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A personal account of military field command during the Second World War as told by Sir William Slim, who led the British forces in Burma. In Mar. 1942 he took command of the Burma Corps and then led the British 14th Army, formed in 1943. They were British, Australians, Canadians, South Africans, Burmese, Chinese, and African soldiers, but mainly drawn from the volunteer Indian Army. For three years Slim's soldiers tied down tens of thousands of Japanese troops in Burma which keep them from fighting in the Pacific. Slim relates the long retreat through Burma and the final hard-fought victory over the Japanese forces, capturing the harsh realities of war. This narrative was first published during his appointment as the 13th Governor General of Australia, granted by the, then new, Queen Elizabeth II, in May, 1953.

Heart of Darkness is a classic of world literature. The book tells a story about a voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State, in the heart of Africa. Marlow, the story's narrator, tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames, London, England. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the ivory trader Kurtz, which enables Conrad to create a parallel between London and Africa as places of darkness. Central to Conrad's work is the idea that there is little difference between so-called civilized people and those described as savages; Heart of Darkness raises important questions about imperialism and racism. Joseph Conrad acknowledged that Heart of Darkness was in part based on his own experiences during his travels in Africa. In 1890, at the age of 32, he was appointed by a Belgian trading company to serve as the captain of a steamer on the Congo River. Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), was a Polish author who wrote in English after settling in England. Conrad is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties. He wrote stories and novels, often with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an indifferent universe. He was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature.

This book is about what Airmen have in common - our heritage, capacity, and future potential. It also illustrates that while we're on the leading edge, we're also part of the sweep of military history. Understanding the way that our predecessors handled their challenges can equip us to better serve our nation. The number one aim of this book is to supply Airmen with useful thoughts that might help them meet their known responsibilities and the unknown challenges their service will bring. We can learn from both the failures and the successes of soldiers, sailors, marines, and Airmen; the ancient past; and yesterday's headlines. This book is a revision of one published in 1990. Just as in the 1990 edition, the quotations are arranged by subject matter to present multiple views of each topic.

Excerpt from British Credit in the Last Napoleonic War No doubt Napoleon was mistaken in his calculations. We, looking back to his time, know that his great scheme miscarried, but I hope to show that, although the result was failure, Napoleon's plans may have been more reason able and laid on a more intelligent foundation than is generally admitted; that he was not misled by crude economic theories which were already out of date, but that he directed his attack upon a point where we were then, and indeed still are, most vulnerable, and adopted measures which were not haphazard but were well calculated to bring it to a successful issue. At Trafalgar his attack upon the naval power of Britain had completely failed, he could not invade us with his armies but he could still attempt to paralyse the government by destroying our European trade and so undermining public credit and fomenting a social revolution, which might overthrow the state from within. It appears to have been his deliberate aim to render the maintenance Of the gold reserve impos sible, and so to bring down the whole fabric of British credit; and the Continental System on the one hand and the permission to export corn to the British Isles on the other, were quite compatible with this object. Foreign payments were a continuous difficulty to our government. Napier describes the financial troubles which had come to be severely felt in 1809 by the British forces in the Peninsula; they were insufficiently provided with boots, transport and other necessaries, and the soldiers' pay was in arrears. Desperate efforts were made to provide the a month which were needed, but Napier explains that in all commercial places the exchange rose against England because of her great and increasing paper issues; and those issues, the extravagant supplies to Spain, and the Austrian subsidy, rendered it impossible to provide specie for the army, save by pur chasing it all over the world with treasury bills and at an enormous loss. This evil, great in itself, Opened a wide door to fraud, and made the war between France and England not so much a glorious contest of arms as a struggle between public credit and military genius, victory being to the first nearly as pernicious as defeat.

Oliver Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author. He is best known for his book Think and Grow Rich (1937), which is among the best-selling self-help books of all time. Hill's works insisted that fervid expectations are essential to improving one's life. Most of his books were promoted as expounding principles to achieve "success". Think and Grow Rich is a book released in 1937 and promoted as a personal development and self-improvement book. He claimed to be inspired by a suggestion from business magnate and later-philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. However there is no evidence that the two ever met. The book is considered a classic in the personal development genre and has been widely influential in shaping the way people think about success and wealth. The Law of Success in 16 Lessons is an edited version of Napoleon Hill’s first manuscript, which was reworked under the advisement of several contributors. This version was initially published in 1928 as a multi-volume correspondence course. Later editions consolidated the material into a single hardcover book.
