Resumen del Editor
FNH Audio presents a complete and unabridged audio edition of a book published in 1917 at the height of the First World War. The author, Jeffery Farnol, is better known for his works of romantic fiction, but in this departure, Jeffery recites the events, observations, and anecdotes of his tour of Great Britain's war effort. The book follows Jeffery as he visits a number of key locations around Britain and on the continent, each demonstrating how members of English society have come together to work towards the goal of "defeating the hun".
On a visit to a naval dockyard, he reports on how the ships are being constructed, takes us on a tour of a destroyer, and introduces us to the crew. He also visits a machine gun factory, and discovers how the great guns are built. His tour continues onto the continent, where he visits a hospital, a training camp, and artillery battery at the front in action. While in France, he discovers the horrors of war, learning that it's more than just guns and glory; there's blood and death close at hand. A visit to an active aerodrome shows us the newly arrived aircraft, and from the people there, we learn of their daring in combat. Finally, the tour draws to an end at Ypres, known simply as "wipers" to the troops - a place of great history and architecture now turned to ashes and rubble. Yet despite the destruction, the author finds glory, honour, and even hope for a better future. This is a fascinating insight into Britain during the peak years of the World War I effort.

The year: 1943. Now there was to be no more retreat for Britain and her Allies. At last the war was to be carried into enemy territory. And from captured bases and makeshift harbours in North Africa, the Royal Navy's Special Force was to be the probe and the spearhead of the advance. To this unorthodox war came the corvette H. M. S. Thistle and her commanding officer, John Crispin.

Paul Bäumer is just 19 years old when he and his classmates enlist. They are Germany’s Iron Youth who enter the war with high ideals and leave it disillusioned or dead. As Paul struggles with the realities of the man he has become, and the world to which he must return, he is led like a ghost of his former self into the war’s final hours. All Quiet is one of the greatest war novels of all time, an eloquent expression of the futility, hopelessness and irreparable losses of war.

The novel that launched the astonishing career of one of the 20th century's greatest writers of action and suspense - an acclaimed classic of heroism and the sea in World War II. The story of men who rose to heroism, and then to something greater, HMS Ulysses takes its place alongside The Caine Mutiny and The Cruel Sea as one of the classic novels of the navy at war. It is the compelling story of Convoy FR77 to Murmansk - a voyage that pushes men to the limits of human endurance.

Twelve hundred British soldiers isolated on the small island of Kheros off the Turkish coast, waiting to die. Twelve hundred lives in jeopardy, lives that could be saved if only the guns could be silenced. The guns of Navarone, vigilant, savage and catastrophically accurate. Navarone itself, grim bastion of narrow straits manned by a mixed garrison of Germans and Italians, an apparently impregnable iron fortress.

That is Fanner Marston’s mantra—his reason for being—and while he knows a little about the first and a lot about the second, he may well be on the verge of learning everything there is to know about the third. Power. He may, in fact, be about to uncover the key to gaining absolute control over the entire universe. The only problem is, Fanner is certifiably insane.... His starship has crash-landed, and he’s the sole survivor, which doesn’t matter to him.

Poorly written
The description of the book states that the author is better known for his romantic fiction. It is a shame he tried to branch out. Written like a Victorian fiction, this book tries but fails as a book of the history of WWI. The flowery Victorian English used is more distracting than literary. Disappointing!
