On a dreary October afternoon, bands of Confederate raiders held up the three banks in St. Albans. With guns drawn, they herded the townspeople out into the common, sending the people of the North into panic. Operating out of a Confederate stronghold in Canada, the raiders were young men, mostly escapees from Union prison camps, who had been recruited to inaugurate a new kind of guerilla war along the Yankees' unprotected border. The raid, though bungling at times, was successful — the consequent pursuit of the rebels into Canada. The celebrity-like trial it sparked in Montreal and resulting diplomatic tensions that arose between the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain, left the Southern dream of a second-front diversion in ruins. What survived, however, is a fascinating tale of the South's desperate attempt to reverse the course of the war. Burn the Town and Sack the Banks is a tale filled with dashing soldiers, spies, posses, bumbling plans, smitten locals, lawyers, diplomats, and an idyllic Vermont town, set against the backdrop of the great battles far from the Northern border that were bringing the Civil War to its bloody conclusion.

During the Peninsular War, Wellington's army stormed and sacked three French-held Spanish towns: Ciudad Rodrigo (1812), Badajoz (1812) and San Sebastian (1813). Storm and Sack is the first major study of British soldiers' violence and restraint towards enemy combatants and civilians in the siege warfare of the Napoleonic era. Using soldiers' letters, diaries and memoirs, Gavin Daly compares and contrasts military practices and attitudes across British sieges spanning three continents, from the Peninsular War in Spain to India and South America. He focuses on siege rituals and laws of war, and uncovering the cultural and emotional history of the storm and sack of towns. This book challenges conventional understandings of the place and nature of sieges in the Napoleonic Wars. It encourages a rethinking of the notorious reputations of the British sacks of this period and their place within the long-term history of customary laws of war and siege violence. Daly reveals a multifaceted story not only of rage, enmity, plunder and atrocity but also of mercy, honour, humanity and moral outrage.

Grace Longstone, a beautiful princess, is banished from her father's kingdom for trying to overthrow him. She is now queen not of a kingdom, but of an army of goblins. Grace will once again try to overthrow her father and take over his kingdom. This time she plans to kidnap her brother the prince with the intention of holding him ransom. But, the band of goblins she sends to abduct the prince accidentally kills him in the process. Grace knows that if her father were to find out about the death of his beloved son by her hand, the king would send his powerful armies to crush Grace and her goblins. Grace decides to send another band of goblins to an ogre mage known for resurrecting the dead, hoping to bring back the prince. Will the goblins be successful and return with the prince alive? Or will the obstacles they face along the way, such as killer lizard men, vicious wolves, a pursuing captain of the guard, or even the possibility of losing the prince's body, prevent them from accomplishing their mission? Find out in Goblins of Grace - The Priceless Prince.
