- David Armine Howarth was a British historian and author. After graduating from Cambridge University, he was a radio war correspondent for BBC at the start of the Second World War. Howarth joined the Navy after the fall of France. He became involved in the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and ultimately in the Shetland Bus, an SOE operation manned by Norwegians running a clandestine route between Shetland and Norway. He was second in command at the Naval base in Shetland. For his successful efforts in the espionage of the German presence in Norway, he received the highest honor a foreigner can obtain from Norway.
After the war he wrote several books about the war in general and of specific events in the war.

1066: The Year of the Conquest Tekijä: David Howarth
A good summary of a pivotal year in English history. Slim book but very informative.
Not a very good title for an excellent book. The title sounds like the gruesome reminder of our earthly end. But, I think it was probably meant to say that "ALONE--we die". As the book is as much about the people who helped Jan, as the man himself. We all need people in this life, and it is never more apparent as when we are in grave trouble. This book will renew your faith in your fellow man. The film, "The 12th Man", which was based on the book, is also excellent.
Of all the naval battles fought in history, Trafalgar is regarded as the most stunning achievement in the annals of history. Nelson’s greatest accomplishment, though it cost him his life, enabled the British fleet to have complete command of the seas. In Howarth’s account focused on the prelude, the battle itself, and the immediate aftermath, aids the reader to see the complications leading up to, during the chaotic swirl of battle, and the aftermath involving a massive hurricane that forced both friend and foe to survive in a joint effort to save their respective lives. History is not always pretty in spite of what seems clear cut is in reality was much more complicated. An excellent read of the battle of Trafalgar.… (lisätietoja)
