But as is often the case in history, despite their differences, America and Soviet Russia had a common enemy that brought them together - Nazi Germany.

This is a novella. Pre-launch review: Tim’s – the author’s – journey through the Falklands war is very well drawn and I felt it offered me a strong taste of the experiences he had - experiences which were arduous to say the least, yet littered with army humour. The love story with Elly is mainly centred on letters they shared and I will admit to reaching for the tissues at the end. Two people separated by war and united through love. The Falklands Engagement is a factually correct account of the author’s experience during the Falklands war, but the love story aspect is fictitious....

By the mid-19th century, other European powers became interested not only in the exploration of Africa, but the exploitation of it, especially once the German Empire unified after the Franco-Prussian War. This began a rush, spearheaded mainly by European commercial interests in the form of chartered companies, to penetrate the African interior and woo its leadership with guns, trinkets, and alcohol, and having thus obtained their marks or seals upon spurious treaties, begin establishing boundaries of future European colonies.

The most famous battle of the 19th century was undoubtedly Waterloo, and the biggest battle of the Napoleonic Wars was Leipzig, but neither one of those legendary battles was the biggest of the century. That distinction instead belongs to the Battle of Königgrätz, a little known, but decisive conflict in a war between Prussia and Austria. Though it lasted only seven weeks and only had one truly decisive battle, the Austro-Prussian War nonetheless changed the political outlook in Europe forever.
