'The most destructive force in the American West is its commanding views, because they foster the illusion that we command,' begins Richard Manning's vivid, anecdotally driven account of the American plains from native occupation through the unraveling of the American enterprise to today.

So, if you would love yourself a dark book on psychopaths, cults, and violence with a smudge of smuts. I would like to say more, but given that this is a novella - I don't feel like spoiling it. However, the plot twist makes up for it and it just makes so much sense towards the end, I'm quite baffled (in a good way). Not to say, I find it a bit tedious at first and the smut felt a bit superfluous given the premise. I've been debating whether or not to DNF this book because of all the explicit stabbings and bloodiness it depicted. I started this book because I wanted to read the author's Cat and Mouse Duet, and I have to say, I was not expecting it to be that gory and vicious.

Beginning most likely with the Ulfberht forge – the 10th century equivalent of a sword factory or firm – bladesmiths discovered how to refine steel to the point that they could make a blade out of a single bar, rather than having to use the time consuming (albeit beautiful) process of pattern welding. The first period of Oakeshott’s typology began in the wake of a technological revolution that began in Germany. And it all begins as the age of longships faded away and a new feudal order emerged. Oakeshott’s typology is a journey through time and the history of Medieval warfare, from the Viking Age to the Renaissance, from raiders to armored knights to the sword masters whose work still inspires historical fencers today. As development in armor made one type of sword blade obsolete, bladesmiths would make another to take its place. The swords of the Middle Ages were precision weapons, built to function on a battlefield against the armor of its day, and defeat it. One cannot truly understand the development of swords without understanding the arms race – no sword was ever developed in a vacuum. It also tells a story – a chronicle of an arms race centuries ago that pitted armorers against bladesmiths in an ongoing battle to push military technology to its limits. Ewart Oakeshott’s (1916-2002) typology is far more than just a means for cataloguing variations on the Medieval sword.

She only knows one thing: She's different now.Īcross North America, flocks of birds hurl themselves into airplanes, causing at least a dozen to crash. Reese can't remember anything from the time between the accident and the day she woke up almost a month later. A great bonus is the description of life in the ranks in that long long ago just before the Great War. As a critic wrote in 1938, ‘it is easily the best written by an Irishman’ – arguably still true. This is a superb book, one of the best written by a ‘ranker’, all the better for being one of the very few to describe those early battles of 1914. Brought up to strength it suffered the same fate at First Ypres. The battalion was involved in desperate fighting in front of Neuve Chapelle in October 1914, losing 181 killed in four days and virtually ceasing to exist, reduced to two officers and 46 men.
