Thunder At Dawn - Alan Evans - Bog - Canelo - Plusbog.dk

Thunder At Dawn - Alan Evans - Bog - Canelo - Plusbog.dk

A heart-pounding First World War naval thriller featuring the rebel Captain Cochrane Smith. 1917: After three years, the outcome of the Great War is poised on a knife-edge. David Cochrane Smith , captain of the armoured cruiser HMS Thunder , is patrolling off the coast of South America. But then he attacks and sinks the Gerda , a neutral ship in a neutral port. Smith already has a reputation as a maverick and now he faces professional ruin. But he is certain he was right, that the Gerda was one of two ships masquerading under neutral flags that are in fact supply vessels for the mighty German warships, Kondor and Wolf . Only an outdated cruiser and a young captain prepared to break all the rules stand in their way… Thunder At Dawn is an edge-of-the-seat naval adventure that combines thrilling story-telling with meticulous research, perfect for readers of Alexander Fullerton, Julian Stockwin and Philip McCutchan. Praise for Alan Evans ''I think a 21 gun salute is required…Alan Evans has produced a cracking thriller'' Daily Mirror ''Evans provides a different sea story, sustained suspense and vivid battle scenes'' Publishers Weekly

Blood And Thunder - Liam O’callaghan - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Blood And Thunder - Liam O’callaghan - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Liam O''Callaghan''s revelatory Blood and Thunder shows that the rise of Irish rugby is inextricable from the tensions, debates and divisions – of politics, religion and class – that have defined modern Irish history. Despite the political partition of the island, Ireland competes at rugby internationally with an all-island team – and with a bespoke anthem that nobody loves but everyone tolerates. Ireland has become a leading rugby nation despite its tiny population and the fact that the sport is only the fourth most popular team game on the island by participation.In Blood and Thunder , O’Callaghan traces the dramatic evolution whereby a rugby nation that was deeply attached to amateurism has made such a dramatic success of professionalism. From the sequence of events that led Ireland''s private Catholic secondary schools to embrace rugby, to the controversies and crises that have shaken Irish rugby – including the Northern Troubles, the Belfast rape trial, and the rising toll of head injuries – Blood and Thunder tells the rich and fascinating story of Irish rugby. Blood and Thunder is more than a social and political history of Irish rugby. It is also a shadow-history of modern Ireland, rooted in brilliant original research and packed with terrific stories.
