The Conquest of New France
George McKinnon Wrong (1860-1948) was a Canadian author and Historian. His works include: Review of Historical Publication (with H. H. Langton) (22 Volumes, 1897-1919), The Earle of Elgin (1905), A Canadian Manor and Its Seigneur (1908), The Conquest of New France: A Chronicle of the Colonial Wars (1918) and Washington and His Comrades in Arms (1921). [Many centuries of European history had been marked by war almost ceaseless between France and England when these two states first confronted each other in America. The conflict for the New World was but the continuation of an age-long antagonism in the Old, intensified now by the savagery of the wilderness and by new dreams of empire. [

This Was My Pottsville
"J. Robert Zane cleverly weaves a tale about the history of Pottsville, PA around a forgotten, but compelling story of a psychotic killer on the loose." -Mark Major, local historian Pottsville, PA celebrated its Centennial in 1906 with great expectations for its future. While it was a time of great promise, it was also a time of great political intrigue, struggling musicians, powerful brewers, and a shocking murder.
Coalition Warfare
The essays that comprise this volume clearly demonstrate that coalitions have dramatically altered the shape of war. Paul Kennedy's overview of coalitions over the past century shows that, with coalitions firmly established as viable in the minds of strategists, wars have become markedly lengthier, bloodier, and much more expensive. Three of the essays focus on explicitly military aspects of the two world wars: Norman Stone's on the Austro-German Alliance, 1914-18; Ulrich Trumpener's on the German-Ottoman Coalition, 1914-18; and Ian Nish's on the Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere. J. L. Granatstein pursues a contrasting, though equally enlightening, course, focussing on Hume Wrong, the...
