The Sword and the Pen
Using little known diaries of soldiers serving in Europe and as far afield as India, from the 18th century to the WW I, Michael Brander has shown the effects of war on the men themselves, in their own words. All young when they wrote their diaries, despite differences in war, in weapons, in rank, in drill and dress, despite even the vast differences in climate, continents and centuries, there is a timelessness about them. Their attitudes to officers, to civilians, to going into action, to being wounded, to disease, to looting and other day-to-day activities of army life in action, show an interesting similarity defying time or place.
The Georgian Gentleman
"Brander penetrates the myth of the Georgian gentleman to show us in graphic detail the clothes he wore, his education and travels, hunting, shooting, gaming, wagering, clubbing, duelling, entertainment, servants, wenching, his diet and sanitary habits, the pretence, the financial scrambling, the ailments which only the fit and hearty could survive. Mr. Brander's book is a vibrating picture of a colourful part in England's history"--

The Emigrant Scots
Indicating the world-wide spread of the Scots and their enormous contribution to the lands where they settled, Michael Brander outlines a heritage of which all those of Scottish descent, whether living in Scotland or abroad, can feel justly proud.
Brander's Guide to Scotch Whiskey
Under international law only the Scots may distill scotch whisky; therefore only a true Scotsman could write this book. Brander's Guide to Scotch Whisky provides an illuminating history of scotch making, from the days of the illicit distillers to the present, and includes a Directory of Malt Whiskies, with the background to each and a guide to their tastes. Throughout, Michael Brander concentrates on the traditional twice-distilled pot-still malt whiskies, themselves the basis of the better blended scotch whiskies. A litre measure of information on scotch in a miniature container, Brander's Guide to Scotch Whisky is a must-have for anyone who enjoys fine spirits. (4 1/2 X 7 3/4, 184 pages)
