James Hamilton Stanhope (1788-1825) was the youngest son of the third Earl Stanhope, half-brother to Lady Hester Stanhope and personally present at the deaths of both Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger in 1806 and General Sir John Moore in Corunna in 1809. After being seriously wounded in the later stages of the Peninsular War, he found happiness in his marriage, which was soon cut short when his wife died giving birth to their second child. Two years later, James committed suicide. This is the first biography of James Hamilton Stanhope, covering his childhood, his fascinating family, his letters and war diaries, his life after Waterloo, how he met his wife, their short but idyllic life together, and his tragic suicide. It also takes a close look at his literary works (all unpublished except for the war diary), and includes the first-ever edition of his lengthy poem on the death of Sir John Moore at Corunna and his brother Charles Banks Stanhope in the same battle.
This book is an attempt to present the chief events in the last campaign of Sir John Moore. Enough of Sir John Moore's life, and of life in England, France, and Spain to explain those events has been included. In several instances, perhaps important instances, accounts of events as given here differ from what may be found elsewhere.

The staff of the Public Record Office have been unfailingly helpful, pleasant, and ef ficient on the many occasions when I have used the Record Office. The Librarian and staff of the National Library of Scotland were mo...
Did a shot from the “grassy knoll” kill President Kennedy? If so, was Oswald part of a conspiracy or an innocent patsy? Why have scientific experts who examined the evidence failed to put such questions to rest? In 2001, scientist Dr. Donald Byron Thomas published a peer-reviewed article that revived the debate over the finding by the House Select Committee on Assassinations that there had indeed been a shot from the grassy knoll, caught on a police dictabelt recording. The Washington Post said, “The House Assassinations Committee may well have been right after all.” In Hear No Evil, Thomas explains the acoustics evidence in detail, placing it in the context of an analysis of all the scientific evidence in the Kennedy assassination. Revering no sacred cows, he demolishes myths promulgated by both Warren Commission adherents and conspiracy advocates, and presents a novel and compelling reinterpretation of the “single bullet theory.” More than a scientific tome, Hear No Evil is a searing indictment of the government’s handpicked experts, who failed the public trust to be fair and impartial arbiters of the evidence.
