    About this ebook

    Suffer with Richard the Lionheart in the desert – fight alongside William Wallace at Stirling Bridge – set sail with Lord Nelson – stand your ground with the Duke of Wellington – fly high with Albert Ball VC – and defy the Nazis with ‘Big X’…
    Hark back to our distant and not so distant past and read about the audacious, courageous and defiant deeds of six Great British heroes. Spanning our island history from the middle ages to the Second World War, these pithy and punchy biographies tell their glorious, moving and sometimes shocking stories.
    Striking a determined blow against modern political correctness, Sean Brunton’s book will restore your faith in men, Britain and life.
