Dates in History - 26th February 1815 - Napoleon escapes from Elba
The Escape From Elba tells the heroic story of Napoleon's exile and phoenix-like return.
In this classic account, now republished in paperback, Norman MacKenzie chronicles this extraordinary year: the tense last hours of Napoleon's empire, his humiliating exile, his midnight escape and his whirlwind march over snowbound mountains to Grenoble where, in a dramatic confrontation with the French army, he became a reigning prince again.

Copper at the Yard
Take the reminiscences of a 1960s detective from London’s East-end, add a dash of Flying Squad, give it a shake, tell the story with lightness and humour and a very presentable book will emerge.
But – and it’s a big ‘but’ – where this book differs is because twelve years into what looked like a very promising career, the author was diagnosed with terminal cancer and to all intents and purposes, was told to go home and quietly die. The story of how the skill of the surgeons, the love and support of his family and colleagues and above all, the sheer determination and courage of John Woodhouse turned this hopeless scenario right around makes compelling reading.
Woodhouse returned to work and made a massive contribution to the world of criminal intelligence at Scotland Yard; secondly, he completed thirty-one years’ service with the police.
A must-have.
Dick Kirby, Author

Sparta At War
The city-state of Sparta was the predominant military power in Ancient Greece for nearly two centuries. Its rulers were supposedly descended from the legendary hero Heracles, who tackled opponents vastly superior in strength and remained undefeated.
Scott Rusch's compelling book traces Sparta's development as a city-state from its origins around 950 BC to its defeat by Thebes in 371-369 BC, and its thwarted attempts to regain power thereafter. It describes how the remarkable political and social system of Sparta produced a seemingly unbeatable hoplite militia, focussing on Sparta's leading role in the Persian invasion of Greece and in the Peloponnesian War.
