HG Library Catalogue Get Together G H T G History Group Library Get Together History Group Library Catalogue 1 HG Library Catalogue About the Library Searching the Catalogue: Your search should begin at the 'Contents' page. The catalogue is divided into ten sections or 'Parts', with (where appropriate) sub-sections headed 'Books' and 'Articles'. Under these headings, books and articles are listed alphabetically by author; simply scroll through the library document to find the page or 'Part' you require. 'Part One' to 'Part Four' progress chronologically from 3000BC to the 19th century, and correspond roughly to the 'ancient', 'medieval', 'early modern', and 'modern' periods of history. 'Part Five' is dedicated to the 20th century, and deals mainly with the two World Wars. Each part is prefaced by an 'Introduction' which offers a general indication of the content of that particular section. Biographies or biographical sketches of particular individuals are listed in 'Part Six' (pre 20th century), and 'Part Seven' (20th century). The library holds also several 'Special Collections', which refer to a specific topic, geographic area, or collection of books/articles by a particular author or institution. The subject matter of each individual collection is as listed under 'Part Eight' of the 'Contents' page. 'Part Nine' lists a number of pamphlets or special publications which the library holds on a variety of topics. 'Part Ten', currently under construction, will contain - where available - copies of previous talks by members of the History Group. If you still cannot find the book or article you want, or are unsure as to the precise content of a particular book or article, contact the HG Library at the email address given in the 'Requesting/returning a book or article' section. 2 HG Library Catalogue CONTENTS Page: 4 Part: One 3000BC - 10th Century AD 8 Two 11th Century - mid-16th Century 13 Three Mid-16th Century – Early 18th Century 17 Four Mid-18th Century - 19th Century 22 Five 20th Century 28 Six Biographies; Biographical Sketches (pre-20th C.) 34 Seven Biographies; Biographical Sketches (20th C.) 36 Eight Special Collections: 37 (1) Napoleon; Napoleonic Wars 38 (1a) 'La Glorieuse Épopée de Napoléon' 40 (1b) 'La Grande Armée Napoléonienne' 40 (2) Revolution and Civil War in France & America 42 (3) Scotland & Ireland 44 (3a) Ministers and Men in 17th Century Scotland 45 (4) The Massacre at Oradour-sur-Glane 46 (5) The British Army 46 (6) Time Life Books 46 (7) Africa 48 (8) China 49 (9) John & Pauilne Tonks Collection 53 (10) Vietnam, Iraq, & Falklands Wars 54 (11) Wargaming 54 (12) Ford Madox Ford 55 Appendix 1 Pamphlets & Special Publications (Miscellaneous) 56 Appendix 2 Past Presentations 3 HG Library Catalogue One 3000BC - 10th Century AD 4 HG Library Catalogue Introduction The period 3000BC to the 10th Century AD is popularly known as 'Ancient' history (3000BC- c.500AD); culminating in the 'Dark' or 'Early Middle Ages' (c.500-c.1000}. For those new to a study of the period, Oliver's History of Ancient Britain, and Schama's History of Britain are good starting points. Further afield, themes range from Aldred's Tutankhamun's Egypt [1333-1324BC] to Forte's Viking Empires of the 8th to the 11th centuries AD. War and rebellion are prominent topics, and there are notable features on prominent leaders and warlords such as Alexander the Great [326-323BC], Hannibal [247-c.181BC], Boudicca [d.61AD], and Charlemagne [c.742- 814AD]. The influence of the ancient civilisations of Egypt, Greece and Rome on Western society, culture and religion are not neglected, however, and (for example) the series of articles by Brandon on the development of early Christianity are an increasingly rare and important resource.

Prominent amongst the subjects discussed here are the Crusades, and the cultural renaissance in architecture, art, music and literature which dominated the later period. Given the often troubled relationship between Britain and France, it is perhaps unsurprising that the history of these two countries - and that of warfare and rebellion - forms the bulk of the collection in this section, but there are discussions on subjects as diverse as (for example) the Spanish conquest of the Incas, Japanese civilisation in the 11th century, and medieval Russia.
