VCs of Queen Victoria's Little Wars 1851-1901

Queen Victoria's Little Wars by Kevin Brazier tells the story of those who were awarded the VC for actions during some of the lesser-known wars and conflicts during her reign.

William Manley, the only man to be awarded both the VC and the German Iron Cross, and three whose VCs were forfeited are covered. The two Sartorius brothers, Euston and Reginald, are also included, as is Andrew Fitzgibbon, whom recent evidence has shown to be the youngest recipient of the award at 15 years and 3 months.

Their final resting places, with many photos of their graves and the location of their VCs also feature within.

This book will appeal to anyone interest in the Victoria Cross.

The Complete Films of John Wayne

Over 40 years since his passing, John Wayne's films are still being regularly shown on TV, and he still has a large following of fans, many of whom may have never seen any of his films at the cinema. There are social media groups and fan sites dedicated to him, and the John Wayne Birthplace Museum in Iowa is as popular now as it ever has been. It would seem that he is as popular today as during his lifetime. This book covers the 175 films John Wayne appeared in.

Some say he appeared in 200 or 300, and he once said himself that he had been in over 300 films, but this is simply not true. Of these 175 films, there are 12 that are now lost. During his career, John Wayne’s character dies, or his death is assumed, in 14 films. In this book you will find all 175 films listed in the order they were released, and other films produced by his company, Wayne/Fellows Productions. Also listed is every actor who appeared in two or more of his films, as is every director of his films.
