Napoleon disavowed any suggestion that he worked from formula ("Je n'ai jamais eu un plan d'op rations"), but military historian David Chandler demonstrates this was at best only a half-truth. The Campaigns of Napoleon is an exhaustive analysis and critique of Napoleon's art of war as he himself developed and perfected it in the major military campaigns of his career. Napoleonic war was nothing if not complex-an ever-shifting kaleidoscope of moves and intentions, which by themselves went a long way towards baffling and dazing his conventionally-minded opponents into that state of disconcerting moral disequilibrium which so often resulted in their catastrophic defeat. ![]() ![]() ![]() This cookie is set by GDPR Cookie Consent plugin.

One hundred stories written around and about the time of the Black Death in Italy during the 14 th century. So, before you succumb to H7N9, here are 20 books, both fictional and non-fiction, about disease and death. Chinese citizens with mild symptoms aren’t being tested and rumors circulate that the real case statistics are being suppressed to protect Chinese economic interests as the people of China are told to sit quietly and drink their herbal teas.Īre these are the rumblings of an epic pandemic about to cover the earth? Are we all going to die? Or maybe a third of us? Perhaps just the old me? No one knows.īut, our natural fear of deadly viruses is rooted firmly in history and set ablaze by our imagination. Infected birds don’t show symptoms and the Chinese military officials are claiming the Americans created it. Imagine this on the back of a book cover: But if you spent as many hours translating microblogs from Mandarin as some amateur epidemiologists do, you’d be concerned the story of H7N9 was almost too strange not to be fiction. It’s been a while since the news was overrun with stories on the H7N9 bird flu – but not so long ago the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Chinese government were convincing folks not to panic…yet. This pre-Spanish Flu classic is a great place to start. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But the suffering, loss and sorrow that went with the job are not ignored, or the shortcomings of the system – ridiculous hours and poor pay – that cause so many good doctors to leave. ![]() There are some truly zany encounters, such as the patient’s husband who maintained that absolutely no condoms fitted him until Kay established that he pulled them down over his testicles. W ickedly funny and at times distressing, the doctor-turned-comedian Adam Kay’s This is Going to Hurt offers a darkly funny record of his years as a junior doctor in an under-resourced obstetrics department: charting gruelling shift patterns, the perils of understaffing and the ink-black humour of the hospital staff. It might be hard to see the funny side of being covered in a tsunami of body fluids, witnessing (and smelling) the travails of labour and Caesarean sections or retrieving all sorts of strange objects from various orifices, but Kay conveys it humorously in his writing. He is now a comedy scriptwriter, and although humour informs many of his recollections the experiences they are based on probably weren’t so funny at the time. Adam Kay spent six years as a junior obstetrician and gynaecologist in the NHS and here presents the highlights and lowlights. Reading this book is going to hurt, but mainly from holding your sides with the laughter it induces. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When Kennedy Garfield met Jonathan Cunningham back in high school, she knew he had all the makings of a tragic hero.
