William—An Englishman explores the impact of the First World War on a married couple during the rise of Socialism and the Suffragette movement. This is the story of William and Griselda are arrogant social activists who repeat the opinions of others instead of creating their own. They listen only to those who agree with them and consider themselves heroic, even though they risk and sacrifice nothing. They met in the course of pursuing their various idealistic causes and got married. Then they left for a private cottage in the Ardennes for their honeymoon. While they're in the secluded cabin, cut off from contact with the rest of the world, the war starts. Things change for the newlyweds when they find themselves on the Belgian front during WWI, quite by accident. Cicely Hamilton, an English actress, writer, and journalist, was a suffragist, feminist, and a part of the fight for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. She gently mocked the activism and idealism of the couple in the novel. But when William and Griselda are caught up in the real war, she stops ridiculing, and instead, one senses her sympathy for the victims of war and a great rage against the ones responsible for it.

This book focuses on the Civil War, which began in the 1830s as a cold war and moved toward the inevitable conflict somewhere between 1850 and 1860, which was one of America's greatest emotional experiences. It tells a story of the human toil and machinery that produced more than four million small arms for the Union Army and stamped from copper over one billion percussion caps for these weapons during the four years of war. It is the purpose of "The Civil War Centennial Handbook" to present this unusual story of the Civil War, a mosaic composed of fragments from the lesser-known and yet colorful facts that have survived a century but have been obscured by the voluminous battle narratives and campaign studies. The handbook is divided into five basic parts. The first is a presentation of little-known and unusual facts about participants, battles and losses, and the cost of war. The second is a graphic portrayal of both the men and machines that made the war of the 1860s. The special selection of photographs for this portion of the story was made available courtesy of the National Archives and the Library of Congress. Next are reproductions in color of Union and Confederate uniforms from the Official Records Atlas and the famous paintings by H. A. Ogden. The fourth section is a reference table of battles and losses listed in chronological order, accompanied by a map showing the major engagements of the war. And primarily for the growing number of new Civil War buffs, there is a roster of Civil War Round Tables, as well as a recommended list of outstanding books on the Civil War.

Brereton's journal is a book made up of letters from the English Civil War (1642-1646). A Parliamentary general, Sir William was engaged in the siege of Dudley Castle, Bridgnorth Castle and the fortifield cathedral close at Lichfield. The Letter Book contains copies of letters sent and received by Brereton. There are details of his victory against the last Royalist army in the field, his various sieges, his constant need for money and more troops, and the movements of King Charles I prior to his surrender to the Scots. The Introduction details a history of the civil war, of the battles and skirmishes, up to the writing of the Letter Book. A conclusion relates what happened after: the end of the war, the trial and execution of Charles I, the Interregnum and finally the Restoration and Brereton's retirement from public life.
