The Apple I was really the computer designed from the ground up
that would kick off personal computing on a large scale. But the Apple
I
took the biggest step of all. Some very simple concepts are very
hard to do the first time. This computer told the world that small
computers should never again come with geeky front panels, but
rather with human keyboards, ready to type on.

A
combination
of
dynastic
disputes,
feudal
quibbles,
trade
disagreements and historical antagonism resulted in the opening of
the Hundred Years War in 1337. The first major English land victory
in
this
conflict
was
the
Battle
of
Crйcy.
This
pitted
the
French
army,
then
considered
the
best
in
Europe,
against
the
English
under
King
Edward III. The battle established the longbow as one of the most
feared weapons of the medieval period, a reputation reinforced at the
bloody battle of Poitiers where much of the French nobility was
slaughtered and their king captured by the English host.

King John the Good of France was captured by the English at the
battle
of
Poitiers
in
1356;
his 14-year-old son Philip fought valiantly by
his
side
until
the bitter end, and as soon as he was in a position to do
so, King John rewarded his son's courage and devotion by
designating him Duke of Burgundy, a title that by chance had just
become
extinct.

In
the
centuries
following
the
first
expeditions down the great rivers of
northern Russia by Viking traders and adventurers, the foundations
for
a
new
state
were
laid.
Many
influences
combined
in
this
colourful
culture
which
grew
up
first
around
the
great cities of Kiev and
Novgorod
–
Scandinavian,
Finnish,
Slav,
steppe
Turkish,
Byzantine.
By the time of the Mongol invasions of the 12th century the small
enclaves of the old pagan Rus’, tolerated by the Khazar Khans for
their
commercial
usefulness,
had
evolved
into
a
Christian
nation.
Its
story is told here in fascinating detail, and illustrated with striking
colour reconstructions of the warriors themselves.

In the 1520s, a brief but savage war broke out in Germany when
various

groups
rose
to
overthrow
the

structure.
The
movement took as its emblem a peasant's shoe and the collective
title
of
'Bundschuh',
and
this
became
known
as
the

War

The dramatic eruption of the Arab peoples from Arabia after their
adoption of the Muslim faith in the 7th century remains one of the
most
extraordinary
events
in
world
history.
By
the
end
of
that century
they ruled a state that stretched from the Atlantic to India, from
southern Arabia to Central Asia, covering an area far greater than
that of the Roman Empire. Therefore warfare, at least among the
nomadic bedouin, was a normal aspect of life. Complemented by
numerous
illustrations,
including
eight

colour
plates
by
Angus McBride, this detailed text by David Nicolle tells the real story
of the armies of the Muslim conquest.

At the close of the 18th century the Ottoman Empire still had huge
military
potential. It was a complex structure of military provinces,
autonomous
regions
and
virtually
independent
\"regencies\".
The
Ottoman
Empire
had
a
larger
population
than
its
land
could
actually
support
which
resulted
in
bloated
cities,
migration
to
under-populated
mountainous areas, widespread banditry and piracy. It also meant
that Ottoman armies had a ready pool of military manpower. With
numerous
illustrations, including eight full page colour artworkss by
Angus Mcbride, this fascinating text by David Nicolle explores the
armies of the Ottoman empire from 1775 until 1820.

truth of its origins, the Ottoman's formed an Empire which almost
succeeded
in
bringing
Christian
Europe
to
its
knees.
During
the
last
decades of the 13th century, the ambitious Osman Bey's tiny
mountain state took eight frontier castles plus the Turkish town of
Eskisehir.
In
1299
Osman
seized
Yenisehir
after
working
up
the
Kara
Su
valley.
With
this
as
its
first real capital, the Ottoman state emerged
into history poised above the fertile shores of the Sea of Marmara.
