15. But England possessed two elements of strength--her people, although differing in creed and often warring with one another, were intensely patriotic, and were united as one man against a foreign foe; and the ships of England, manned by English crews and commanded by her great captains--the legitimate successors of the old Vikings--dominated the seas. No enterprise was too hazardous for these hardy mariners to undertake, and no disparity of force ever induced them to pause. Philip was often wrought to frenzy as he saw these bold corsairs capture his treasure-ships and ravage his coasts in sight of his invincible but impotent armies.

hostorical perscpective on history,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ten Great Events in History (Kindle Edition)
Now that history has become big business, it can be a little difficult to find historical perspectives that are produced for the light reader, but not for entertainment value. The biggest moments in history up until this book was published haven't changed, but it is interesting to see the subtle ways we view history today as compared with the time of the author.

This review is from: Ten Great Events in History (Kindle Edition)
This is how all history books should be! Really interesting colorful detail.. Most of these Great Events were new to me and very amazing to read. Only problem is I wish the book was better organized and had a proper contents page? If you want to skip ahead to the next Great Event it was hard to find. But still very good writing. :)

This review is from: Ten Great Events in History (Kindle Edition)
I usually don't read much of historical literature, however this was a treat. I love a good story and this is exactly what you get. It is a bit long at times, however it's still a great read in my eyes.
