The man who buried Nelson : the surprising life of Robert Mylne /Robert Ward.
This is a biography of Robert Mylne, who was born in Edinburgh in 1733 and was descended from a line of Master Masons to the Scottish Crown. He came to London at the age of 26 and won a competition to design and build Blackfriars Bridge. Following on from that he became Surveyor to St Paul's Cathedral, clerk of works to Greenwich Hospital and engineer to London's main waterworks. In his role as Surveyor of St Paul's, he was responsible for fitting out the cathedral for Nelson's funeral. Mylne prepared the sarcophagus which would rest above floor level in the crypt and arranged to place into it a secret hoard of coins and medals; this event is described for the first time in the book. There are 40 black and white photos illustrating Mylne's life and works. There are extensive notes, a list of sources and a detailed index.

Voices of the Windrush generation : the real story told by the people themselves /David Matthews.
"Voices of the Windrush Generation is a powerful collection of stories from the men, women and children of the Windrush generation - West Indians who emigrated to Britain between 1948 and 1971 in response to labour shortages, and in search of a better life. Edited by journalist and bestselling author David Matthews, this book paints a vivid portrait of what it meant for those who left the Caribbean for Britain during the early days of mass migration. Through his own, and many other stories, Matthews explores: why and how so many people came to Britain after World War II, their hopes and dreams, the communities they formed and the difficulties they faced being separated from family and friends while integrating into an often hostile society. We hear how lives were transformed, and what became of the generations that followed, taking the reader right up to the present day, and the impact of the current Windrush deportation scandal upon everyday people. At once a nostalgic treasure trove of human interest, which unearths the real stories behind the headlines, and a celebration of black British culture, Voices of the Windrush Generation is an absorbing and important book that gives a platform to voices that need to be heard."--Provided by the publisher.

Seven at Santa Cruz : the life of fighter ace Stanley "Swede" Vejtasa /Ted Edwards.
"This riveting biography details how Stanley 'Swede' Vejtasa became a World War II naval hero. During the Battle of the Coral Sea, Swede flew an SBD Dauntless dive-bomber and helped sink Shoho, the first aircraft carrier lost by Japan in World War II. The next day, in that same Dauntless, he took off from USS Yorktown and out-flew and out-gunned three Japanese Zeros, making him the only dive bomber pilot to be awarded Navy Crosses for both bombing and aerial combat. Months later, the day before the Battle of Santa Cruz, Swede was flying an F4F Wildcat fighter off USS Enterprise and had no recourse but to follow orders he knew to be insane. He and his squadron mates flew their predictably empty search legs and beyond, only to discover upon their return to Point Option in the dark, that Enterprise was nowhere to be found. Incredibly, Swede located the oil slick he had noticed seeping from Enterprise during a morning combat air patrol and was able to track it back to the carrier. After their harrowing return, during the Battle of Santa Cruz, the fate of Enterprise, and by extension Guadalcanal, lay in the hands of that same Swede Vejtasa. He responded by single-handedly downing an unprecedented two Japanese dive bombers and five torpedo bombers attacking the carrier. Skipper Jimmy Flatley recognized that in all likelihood, Swede had saved Enterprise from destruction, and he recommended Swede for the Medal of Honor."--Provided by publisher.
