The final weeks of the First World War saw a revolutionary upheaval in Europe as old empires collapsed and new, self-proclaimed 'nation-states' emerged in their place. For its advocates, the Yugoslav state created in 1918 represented a largely uniform culture and identity. But as its official name—the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes—suggested, its population was by no means homogeneous and Britain, who had been instrumental in the birth of the state at Versailles, as well as other Europeans and the Americans, came to appreciate that divisions of religious affiliation and historical tradition continued to override linguistic unity. Through analysing British ideas and assumptions about the region's history and culture, James Evans assesses how these were reshaped by newly prevalent ideas about Yugoslav nationality. Attitudes and preconceptions first formed during this period would prove remarkably enduring, making their mark on British responses to events in Yugoslavia throughout the country's troubled history. Great Britain and the Creation of Yugoslavia sheds valuable light not only on attitudes to Yugoslav nationality in the early twentieth century, but also on western responses to the violent demise of the Yugoslav state at the close of the century.

Rescued by Island fishermen despite his terror he attempts a single handed voyage under sail across over two thousand miles of a turbulent and unforgiving Pacific Ocean. Could he ever find a way to pay back those who helped him? Could he ever find peace with the Sea?

Following a highly successful and exceptionally lucrative salvage operation on an American freighter by the South West Deep Ocean Salvage Company, sole owners Kevin and Karen Masters after so many lean years became rich beyond their wildest dreams. But with wealth came boredom, so just to pass the time they mounted a hunt for HM Submarine Troy documented by the Admiralty as lost with all hands on her return passage from Operation Trojan Submarine in Dorfhaven Germany during WW2. Within weeks their search was intercepted and they were dragged, somewhat reluctantly into a larger Government sponsored hunt led by one Charles Littlewood. Hours of research frequently resulted in far more questions than answers frustratingly hindered by the constant threats of abduction, attempted murder, sabotage, cyber-attacks and piracy before finally discovering the whole shocking truth of this valiant craft.

Set Worldwide in genuine locations on real ships and shore establishments provides a shaggy dog story centred around many actual personal and historic Global events charting the progress, often amusing, sometimes sad and occasionally turbulent and dangerous, whilst navigating through the entire twelve year career of one Sailors experiences as a 1960's Naval Rating at home, abroad, ashore, at sea and even in the air for a warts and all tongue in cheek outlook on Navy life for his 12 years a Sailor.
