Part of the Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England's rulers - now in paperbackOn Christmas Day 1066, William, duke of Normandy was crowned in Westminster, the first Norman king of England. It was a disaster: soldiers outside, thinking shouts of acclamation were treachery, torched the surrounding buildings. To later chroniclers, it was an omen of the catastrophes to come.During the reign of William the Conqueror, England experienced greater and more seismic change than at any point before or since. Marc Morris's concise and gripping biography sifts through the sources of the time to give a fresh view of the man who changed England more than any other, as old ruling elites were swept away, enemies at home and abroad (including those in his closest family) were crushed, swathes of the country were devastated and the map of the nation itself was redrawn, giving greater power than ever to the king. When, towards the end of his reign, William undertook a great survey of his new lands, his subjects compared it to the last judgement of God, the Domesday Book. England had been transformed forever.
The First Half: A Memoir of the First Half (More or Less) Of the Life of William I. Lightfoot
A true memoir of the trials and tribulations of the first half of the life of a man growing up in Massachusetts, and being trained to be an international defense industry executive. He spends time in Viet Nam as a contractor then ends up living in Europe where he is in the challenging and adventurous profession of selling fighter aircraft to countries in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. He travels extensively in such countries as Libya, Morocco, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Lebanon and Iran while selling F5 fighter aircraft and large telecommunications and intelligence gathering systems for a major US defense contractor. While in this role, he becomes involved in international intrigue with the royal families of several countries, international arms dealers and US intelligence agencies. Some of these activities are made public here for the first time. "This is a very good book. It contains some interesting inside information relative to the international defense aerospace business, a subject about which very little information is available. More should be written, and read, on this subject." -Dr. Rene Francillon, one of the world's foremost aviation historians and author of more than forty books on the subject.
