Captain CookMaster of the SeasFrank McLynn

The age of discovery was at its peakin the eighteenth century, with heroicadventurers charting the furthestreaches of the globe. Foremost amongthese explorers was navigator andcartographer Captain James Cook ofthe British Royal Navy.

Recent writers have viewed Cooklargely through the lens of colonialexploitation, regarding him as avillain and overlooking an importantaspect of his identity: his nauticalskills. In this authentic, engrossingbiography, Frank McLynn revealsCook’s place in history as a braveand brilliant seaman. He shows howthe Captain’s life was one of struggle—with himself, with institutions,with the environment, with thedesire to be remembered—and alsoone of great success. McLynn re-creates the voyages that took thefamous navigator from his nativeEngland to the outer reaches of thePacific Ocean. Ultimately, Cook,who began his career as a deckhand,transcended his humble beginningsand triumphed through goodfortune, courage and talent.

“accessible and exciting”—Michael Fathers, Literary Review

“Majestic in scale and sumptuouslyproduced, it is an authority thatscholars will consult forgenerations.”—Clive Aslet, The Sunday Telegraph

“This is an excellent book…DrGoodall sets out to demolish anold-fashioned and outdated view ofwhat castles are. In doing so, in hisown words, he ‘joins up the dots’,assembling, in a sweeping narrative,what it would take years to gleanfrom obscure journals and academicbooks”—Simon Thurley, Country Life

This Seat of MarsWar and the British Isles,1485–1746Charles Carlton

Over the early modern period, manymillions of young men from the fourcorners of the now United Kingdomwent to war, often—and mostbloodily—against each other. Thealmost continuous fighting on landand sea for the two-and-a-halfcenturies between Bosworth andCulloden decimated lives, butcreated the British state and forgedthe nation as the world’spredominant power.

In this innovative and moving book,Charles Carlton explores the gloriousand terrible impact of war at thenational and individual levels.Chapters alternate, providing arobust military and political narrativeinterlaced with accounts illuminatingthe personal experience of war, fromrecruitment to the end of battle indischarge or death. Carlton expertlycharts the remarkable militarydevelopments over the period, as wellas war’s enduring corollaries—camaraderie, courage, fear andgrief—to give a powerful account ofthe profound effect of war on theBritish Isles and its peoples.

Beyond the TowerA History of East LondonJohn Marriott

From Jewish clothing merchants toBangladeshi curry houses, ancientdocks to the 2012 Olympics, thearea east of the City has alwaysplayed a crucial role in London’shistory. The East End, as it has beenknown, was the home toShakespeare’s first theatre and to theearly stirrings of a mass labourmovement; it has also traditionallybeen seen as a place of darkness anddespair, where Jack the Rippercommitted his gruesome murders,and cholera and poverty stalked theVictorian streets.

In this beautifully illustrated historyof this iconic district, John Marriottdraws on 25 years of research intothe subject to present anauthoritative and endlesslyfascinating account. With the aid ofcopious maps, archive prints andphotographs, and the words of EastLondoners from 17th-century silk-weavers to Cockneys during theBlitz, he explores the relationshipbetween the East End and the rest ofLondon, and challenges many of themyths which surround the area.

A Genius for MoneyBusiness, Art and the MorrisonsCaroline Dakers

This is the spectacular rags-to-richesstory of James Morrison(1789–1857), who began lifehumbly but through hard work andentrepreneurial brilliance acquired afortune unequalled in nineteenth-century England. Using the extensiveMorrison archive, Caroline Dakerspresents the first substantialbiography of the richest commonerin England, recounting the details ofMorrison’s personal life while alsoplacing him in the Victorian age ofenterprise that made his successpossible.

An affectionate husband and fatherof ten, Morrison made his firstfortune in textiles, then a second ininternational finance. He invested inNorth American railways, wasinvolved in global trade from Cantonto Valparaiso, created hundreds ofjobs, and relished the challenges of‘the science of business’. His successenabled him to acquire land, houses,and works of art on a scale to rivalthe grandest of aristocrats.

The ZongA Massacre, the Lawand the End of SlaveryJames Walvin

On November 29, 1781, CaptainCollingwood of the British ship Zongcommanded his crew to throwoverboard one-third of his cargo: ashipment of Africans bound forslavery in America. The captainbelieved his ship was off course, andhe feared there was not enoughdrinking water to last until landfall.This book is the first to examine indetail the deplorable killings on theZong, the lawsuit that ensued, howthe murder of 132 slaves affecteddebates about slavery, and the way weremember the infamous Zong today.

Historian James Walvin explores allaspects of the Zong’s voyage and thesubsequent trial—a case brought tocourt not for the murder of the slaves,but as a suit against the insurers whodenied the owners’ claim that their‘cargo’ had been necessarily jettisoned.The scandalous case prompted widedebate and fueled Britain’s awakeningabolition movement. Without theepisode of the Zong, Walvin contends,the process of ending the slave tradewould have taken an entirely differentmoral and political trajectory.

Vauxhall GardensA HistoryDavid E. Coke and Alan Borg

From their early beginnings in theRestoration until the final closure inQueen Victoria’s reign, VauxhallGardens developed from a rural tavernand place of assignation into a dream-world filled with visual arts and music,and finally into a commercial site ofmass entertainment. A social magnetfor Londoners and tourists, they alsobecame a dynamic centre for the artsin Britain. By the eighteenth century,when the Gardens were owned andmanaged by Jonathan Tyers—friend ofHandel, Hogarth and Fielding—theywere crucial to the cultural andfashionable life of the country,patronised by all levels of society, fromroyal dukes to penurious servants.

In the first book on the subject forover fifty years, Alan Borg and DavidE. Coke reveal the teeming life, thespectacular art and the ever-presentmusic of Vauxhall in fascinating detail.Their historical exposition of the entirehistory of the foremost pleasure gardenof eighteenth- and nineteenth-centuryLondon makes a major contribution tothe study of London entertainments,art, music, sculpture, class andideology.

Edward IIIW. Mark Ormrod

Revered by hissubjects as a chivalric dynamo, heinitiated the Hundred Years War andgloriously led his men into battleagainst the Scots and the French.

In this illuminating biography, W. MarkOrmrod takes a deeper look at Edwardto reveal the man beneath the militarymuscle. What emerges is Edward’s clearsense of his duty to re-build the prestigeof the Crown, and through militarygains and shifting diplomacy, to secure alegacy for posterity. New details of thesplendour of Edward’s court, lavishnational celebrations and innovative useof imagery establish the king’sinstinctive understanding of the bondbetween ruler and people. With freshemphasis on how Edward’s rule wasaffected by his family relationships—including his roles as traumatised son,loving husband and dutiful father—Ormrod gives a valuable newdimension to our understanding of thisremarkable warrior king.

Mary IEngland’s Catholic QueenJohn Edwards

The lifestory of Mary I—daughter ofHenry VIII and his Spanish wifeCatherine of Aragon—is often distilledto a few dramatic episodes: her victoryover the attempted coup by Lady JaneGrey, the imprisonment of her half-sisterElizabeth, the burning of Protestants,her short marriage to Philip of Spain.This original and deeply researchedbiography paints a far more detailedportrait of Mary and offers a freshunderstanding of her religious faithand policies as well as her historicalsignificance in England and beyond.

John Edwards, a leading scholar ofEnglish and Spanish history, is the firstto make full use of Continental archivesin this context, especially Spanish ones,to demonstrate how Mary’s culture,Catholic faith and politics werethoroughly Spanish. Edwards beginswith Mary’s origins, follows her as shebattles her increasingly erratic father,and focuses particular attention on hernotorious religious policies, some ofwhich went horribly wrong from herpoint of view. The book concludes witha consideration of Mary’s five-year reignand the frustrations that plagued herfinal years.

William the Conqueror’s victory in1066 was the beginning of a period ofmajor transformation for medievalEnglish aristocrats. This ground-breaking book examines for the firsttime the fate of the English aristocracybetween the reigns of the Conquerorand Edward I. Offering an originalexplanation of medieval society—onethat no longer employs traditional‘feudal’ or ‘bastard feudal’ models—Crouch argues that society remadeitself around the emerging principle ofnobility in the generations on eitherside of 1200, marking the beginning ofthe ancien régime.

The book describes the transformationin aristocrats’ expectations, conduct,piety and status; in expressions ofsocial domination; and in therelationship with the monarchy.Synchronising English social historywith non-English scholarship, Crouchplaces England’s experience of changewithin a broader Europeantransformation and highlightsEngland’s important role in theprocess. With his accustomed skill,Crouch redefines a fascinating era andthe noble class that emerged from it.

Ralph Tailor’s SummerA Scrivener, His City and the PlagueKeith Wrightson

The plague outbreak of 1636 inNewcastle-upon-Tyne was one of themost devastating in English history.This hugely moving study looks indetail at its impact on the citythrough the eyes of a man whostayed as others fled: the scrivenerRalph Tailor.

As a scrivener Tailor was responsiblefor many of the wills and inventoriesof his fellow citizens. By listening toand writing down the final wishes ofthe dying, the young scrivener oftenbecame the principal provider ofcomfort in people’s last hours.

Drawing on the rich records left byTailor during the course of his workalong with many other sources,Keith Wrightson vividly reconstructslife in the early modern city during atime of crisis and envisions whatsuch a calamitous decimation of thepopulation must have meant forpersonal, familial and social relations.

On the eve of the tenth anniversary ofthe intervention in Afghanistan, amajor reassessment of military strategyand the work of ‘nation-building’ inthis most unstable of countries.

In this timely and important book,Tim Bird and Alex Marshall offer apanoramic view of internationalinvolvement in Afghanistan from 2001to 2010. Tackling the subject matter asa whole, Bird and Marshall weavetogether analysis of military strategy,regional context, aid policy, the Afghangovernment, and the manydisagreements between and within theWestern powers involved in theintervention. Given the complicatingfactors of the heroin trade,unwelcoming terrain and precariousrelations with Pakistan, the authorsacknowledge the ways in whichAfghanistan has presented uniquechallenges for its foreign invaders.Ultimately, however, they argue thatthe international community has failedin its self-imposed effort to solveAfghanistan’s problems and that thereare broader lessons to be learned fromtheir struggle, particularly in terms ofcounterinsurgency and the ever-complicated work of ‘nation-building’.

The Forgotten PalestiniansA History of the Palestinians in IsraelIlan Pappé

For more than 60 years, hundreds ofthousands of Palestinians have lived asIsraeli citizens within the borders of thenation formed at the end of the 1948conflict. Occupying a precariousmiddle ground between the Jewishcitizens of Israel and the dispossessedPalestinians of the West Bank and theGaza Strip, the Israeli Palestinians havedeveloped an exceedingly complexrelationship with the land they callhome; however, in the innumerablediscussions of the Israel-Palestineproblem, their experiences are oftenoverlooked and forgotten.

In this book, historian Ilan Pappéexamines how Israeli Palestinians havefared under Jewish rule and what theirlives tell us about both Israel’s attitudetowards minorities and Palestinians’attitudes towards the Jewish state.Drawing upon significant archival andinterview material, Pappé analyses theIsraeli state’s policy towards itsPalestinian citizens, findingdiscrimination in matters of housing,education and civil rights. Rigorouslyresearched yet highly readable, The Forgotten Palestinians brings a newand much-needed perspective to theIsrael-Palestine debate.

TibetA HistorySam van Schaik

Tibet is famous for its unique cultureand its controversial assimilation intomodern China. Yet Tibet in thetwenty-first century can only beproperly understood in the contextof its extraordinary history.

Sam van Schaik brings the history ofTibet to life by telling the stories of thepeople involved, from the glory days ofthe Tibetan empire in the seventhcentury through to the present day. Heexplores the emergence of TibetanBuddhism and the rise of the DalaiLamas, Tibet’s entanglement in the‘Great Game’ in the early twentiethcentury, its submission to ChineseCommunist rule in the 1950s and thetroubled times of recent decades.

Tibet sheds light on the country’scomplex relationship with China andexplains often-misunderstood aspectsof its culture, such as reborn lamas,monasteries and hermits, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, andthe role of the Dalai Lama. Van Schaik works through the layersof history and myth to create acompelling narrative, one that offersreaders a greater understanding ofthis important and controversialcorner of the world.

A Little History ofPhilosophyNigel Warburton

Philosophy begins with questionsabout the nature of reality and howwe should live. These were theconcerns of Socrates, who spent hisdays in the ancient Athenianmarketplace asking awkwardquestions, disconcerting the people hemet by showing them how little theygenuinely understood. This engagingbook introduces the great thinkers inWestern philosophy and explores theirmost compelling ideas about theworld and how best to live in it.

In forty brief chapters, NigelWarburton guides us on achronological tour of the major ideasin the history of philosophy. Heprovides interesting and often quirkystories of the lives and deaths ofthought-provoking philosophersfrom Socrates, who chose to die byhemlock poisoning rather than liveon without the freedom to think forhimself, to Peter Singer, who asks thedisquieting philosophical and ethicalquestions that haunt our own times.

A Little History of Philosophy presentsthe grand sweep of humanity’s searchfor philosophical understanding andinvites all to join in the discussion.

Leon TrotskyA Revolutionary’s LifeJoshua Rubenstein

Born Lev Davidovich Bronstein insouthern Ukraine, Trotsky was both aworld-class intellectual and a mancapable of the most narrow-mindedideological dogmatism. He was aneffective military strategist and anadept diplomat, who staked the fate ofthe Bolshevik revolution on themeager foundation of a Europe-wideCommunist upheaval. He was amaster politician who played his cardsbadly in the momentous struggle forpower against Stalin in the 1920s. Andhe was an assimilated, indifferent Jewwho was among the first to foresee thatHitler’s triumph would mean disasterfor his fellow European Jews, and thatStalin would attempt to forge analliance with Hitler if Soviet overturesto the Western democracies failed.

In this lucid and judicious evocationof his life, Trotsky emerges as abrilliant yet flawed man. Rubensteinoffers us a Trotsky who is mentallyacute and impatient with others, oneof the finest students of contemporarypolitics who refused to engage in thenitty-gritty of party organisation in the1920s, when Stalin wasmanoeuvering, inexorably, towardsTrotsky’s own political oblivion.

Petersburg Fin de SiècleMark D. Steinberg

The final decade of the old order inimperial Russia was a time of bothcrisis and possibility, an uncertaintime that inspired an often desperatesearch for meaning. This bookexplores how journalists and otherwriters in St. Petersburg describedand interpreted the troubled yearsbetween the Russian revolutions of1905 and 1917.

Mark Steinberg, distinguishedhistorian of Russia in the latenineteenth and early twentiethcenturies, examines the work ofwriters of all kinds, from anonymousjournalists to well-known publicintellectuals, from secular liberals toreligious conservatives. Though diversein their perspectives, these urbanwriters were remarkably consistent inthe worries they expressed. Theygrappled with the impact oftechnological and material progress onthe one hand, and with an ever-deepening anxiety and pessimism onthe other. Steinberg reveals a new,darker perspective on the history of St. Petersburg on the eve of revolutionand presents a fresh view of Russia’sexperience of modernity.

The Stalin CultA Study in the Alchemy of PowerJan Plamper

Between the late 1920s and the early1950s, one of the most persuasivepersonality cults of all timessaturated Soviet public space withimages of Stalin. A torrent ofportraits, posters, statues, films,plays, songs and poems galvanisedthe Soviet population and inspiredleftist activists around the world. Inthe first book to examine the culturalproducts and production methods ofthe Stalin cult, Jan Plamperreconstructs a hidden history linkingartists, party patrons, statefunctionaries and ultimately Stalinhimself in the alchemical project thattransformed a pock-markedGeorgian into the embodiment ofglobal communism. Departing frominterpretations of the Stalin cult asan outgrowth of Russian mysticismor Stalin’s psychopathology, Plamperestablishes the cult’s context within abroader international history ofmodern personality cults constructedaround Napoleon III, Mussolini,Hitler and Mao.

It Was a Long Time Agoand It Never HappenedAnywayRussia and the Communist PastDavid Satter

Russia today is haunted by deeds thathave not been examined and wordsthat have been left unsaid. A seriousattempt to understand the meaning ofthe communist experience has notbeen undertaken and millions ofvictims of Soviet communism are allbut forgotten. In this book, DavidSatter, a former Moscowcorrespondent for the Financial Timesand long-time writer on Russia and theSoviet Union, presents a striking newinterpretation of Russia’s greathistorical tragedy, locating its source inRussia’s failure fully to appreciate thevalue of the individual in comparisonwith the objectives of the state.

Through a wide-ranging considerationof attitudes towards the living and thedead, the past and the present, thestate and the individual, Satter arrivesat a distinctive and important new wayof understanding the Russianexperience.

Russian OrientalismAsia in the Russian Mind fromPeter the Great to EmigrationDavid Schimmelpenninck van der Oye

This highly original andcontroversial book studies Russia’srelationship with the Orient beforethe Revolution of 1917 and arguesthat the Russian Empire’s bi-continental geography, itsambivalent relationship with the restof Europe and the complicatednature of its encounter with Asiahave all resulted in a variegated andoften sympathetic understanding ofthe East among its people.

“Russian historical perceptions ofAsia are a fascinating and importanttopic, both for what they say aboutRussian policy outside Europe andfor what they tell us about theRussians themselves. As the balanceof global power tilts towards Asia,where Russians position themselvesbetween the West and the Orient iscertain to become of ever-greatersignificance. No Western scholar isbetter equipped than ProfessorSchimmelpennick to write on thistheme, and his new book is a tour-de-force.”—Dominic Lieven, The London School of Economicsand Political Science

Whispering CityRome and its HistoriesR. J. B. Bosworth

In this one-of-a-kind book, historianRichard Bosworth draws upon hisexpertise in Italian pasts to explore themany layers of history found withinthe Eternal City. Often beginning hisanalysis with sites and monumentsthat can still be found incontemporary Rome, Bosworthexpands his scope to review howpolitical groups of different eras—theCatholic Church, makers of the Italiannation, Fascists and ‘ordinary’ Romans—read meaning into the city aroundthem. Weaving in the city’squintessential figures (Garibaldi, Pius XII, Mussolini, and Berlusconi)and architectural icons (the Vatican,St. Peter’s Basilica, the VictorEmmanuel Monument, and EUR)with those forgotten or unknown,Bosworth explores the many historiesthat whisper their rival and competingmessages and seek to impose theirtruth upon the passing crowds.

“Whatever mythic template isimposed, other, older histories comewhispering through in everythingfrom architecture and statuary topolitical posters. Bosworth’s city is a monument to history’sunpredictability and plurality.”—Michael Kerrigan, The Scotsman

Contesting DemocracyPolitical Ideas in Twentieth-Century EuropeJan-Werner Müller

This book is the first major accountof political thought in twentieth-century Europe—both West andEast—to appear since the end of theCold War. Skillfully blendingintellectual, political and culturalhistory, Jan-Werner Müller elucidatesthe ideas that shaped the period ofideological extremes before 1945 andthe liberalisation of West Europeanpolitics after the Second World War.He also offers vivid portraits offamous as well as unjustly forgottenpolitical thinkers and the movementsand institutions they inspired.

Müller pays particular attention toideas advanced to justify fascism andhow they relate to the special kind ofliberal democracy that was created inpostwar Western Europe. He alsoexplains the impact of the 1960s andneoliberalism, ending with a criticalassessment of today’s self-consciouslypost-ideological age.

BelarusThe Last European DictatorshipAndrew Wilson

This book is the first in English toexplore Belarus’s complicated road tonationhood and to examine in detailits politics and economics since1991, the nation’s first year ofindependence. Andrew Wilsonfocuses particular attention onAliaksandr Lukashenka’s surprisinglongevity as president, despitehuman rights abuses, andinvolvement in yet another riggedelection in December, 2010.

Wilson looks at Belarusian history asa series of false starts in the medievaland pre-modern periods, and at themany rival versions of Belarusianidentity, culminating with the SovietBelarusian project and theestablishment of Belarus’s currentborders during World War II. Healso addresses Belarus’s on-offrelationship with Russia, itssimultaneous attempts to play agame of balance in the no-man’s-landbetween Russia and the West, andhow, paradoxically, Belarus is at lastbecoming a true nation under therule of Europe’s ‘last dictator’.

The Serpent and the LambCranach, Luther and the Makingof the ReformationSteven Ozment

This compelling book retells and revisesthe story of the German Renaissanceand Reformation through the lives oftwo controversial men of the sixteenthcentury: the Saxon court painter LucasCranach (the Serpent) and theWittenberg monk-turned-reformerMartin Luther (the Lamb).Contemporaries and friends, Cranachand Luther were very differentGermans, yet their collaborativesuccesses merged art and religion into arevolutionary force that became theProtestant Reformation. StevenOzment, an internationally recognisedhistorian of the Reformation era,reprises the lives and works of Cranachand Luther in this generouslyillustrated book. He contends thatCranach’s new art and Luther’s oratoryreleased a barrage of criticism upon theVatican, the force of which secured anew freedom of faith and pluralism ofreligion in the Western world. BetweenLuther’s pulpit praise of the sex drivewithin the divine estate of marriage andCranach’s parade of strong, lithewomen, a new romantic, familialconsciousness was born which evoked anew organisation of society and foretolda new direction for Germany.

new new new newSavonarolaThe Rise and Fall of a Renaissance ProphetDonald Weinstein

Girolamo Savonarola, the fifteenth-century millenarian friar, embracedthe revolution of the Florentinerepublic and prophesied that it wouldbecome the centre of a New Age ofChristian renewal and worlddomination. This new biography, theculmination of many decades of study,presents an original interpretation ofSavonarola’s prophetic career and ahighly nuanced assessment of hisvision and motivations.

Weinstein sorts out the multiplestrands that connect Savonarola to histime and place, following him fromhis youthful rejection of a world heregarded as corrupt, to his engagementwith that world to save it from itself,to his shattering confession—anadmission that he had invented hisprophesies and faked his visions. Washis confession sincere? A forgerycirculated by his inquisitors? Or anattempt to escape bone-breakingtorture? Weinstein offers a highlyinnovative analysis of the testimony toprovide the first truly satisfyingaccount of Savonarola and his fate as afailed prophet.

Perilous GloryThe Rise of Western Military PowerJohn France

This expansive book surveys the historyof warfare from ancient Mesopotamiato the Gulf War in search of a deeperunderstanding of the origins of Westernwarfare and the reasons for itseminence today. Historian John Franceexplores the experience of war aroundthe globe, in Europe, Asia, Africa andAmerica. His bold conclusions castdoubt on well-entrenched attitudesabout the development of militarystrength, the impact of culture onwarfare, the future of Westerndominance, and much more.

France finds that despite enormouscultural differences, war wasconducted in distinctly similar waysright up to the Military Revolutionand the pursuit of technologicalwarfare in the nineteenth century.Since then, European and Americanculture has shaped warfare, but onlybecause we have achieved a sense ofdistance from it, France argues. Hewarns that the present eminence ofU.S. power is much more precariousand accidental than commonlybelieved. The notion that war is adistant phenomenon is only anillusion, and our cultural attitudesmust change accordingly.

Losing Small WarsBritish Military Failure in Iraq and AfghanistanFrank Ledwidge

Partly on the strength of their apparentsuccess in insurgencies such as Malayaand Northern Ireland, the Britisharmed forces have long been perceivedas world class, if not world-beating.However, their recent performance inIraq and Afghanistan is widely seenas—at best—disappointing; underBritish control, Basra degenerated intoa lawless city riven with internecineviolence, while tactical mistakes andstrategic incompetence in Helmandprovince resulted in heavy civilian andmilitary casualties and a climate ofviolence and insecurity. In both casesthe British were eventually andhumiliatingly bailed out by the U.S.army.

In this thoughtful and compellinglyreadable book, Frank Ledwidgeexamines the British involvement inIraq and Afghanistan, asking how andwhy it went so wrong. With the aid ofcopious research, interviews with seniorofficers and his own personalexperiences, he looks in detail at thefailures of strategic thinking and culturethat led to defeat in Britain’s latest‘small wars’. This is an eye-openinganalysis of the causes of military failure,and its enormous costs.

The Artist and the WarriorFrom Assyria to GuernicaTheodore Rabb

How have artists across the millenniaresponded to warfare? In thisuniquely wide-ranging book,Theodore Rabb blends militaryhistory and the history of art tosearch for the answers. He draws ourattention to masterpieces from theancient world to the twentiethcentury and documents the evolvingnature of warfare as artists haveperceived it.

Together these works tell a story oflong centuries during which warfareinspired admiration and celebration.Yet a shift towards criticism andcondemnation emerged in theRenaissance, and by the end of thenineteenth century, glorification ofthe warrior by leading artists hadceased. Rabb traces this progression,from such works as the Column ofTrajan and the Titian Battle ofLepanto, whose makers celebratedglorious victories, to the antiwardepictions created by Brueghel,Goya, Picasso and others. Fullyillustrated and accessibly written, thisbook presents a study ofunprecedented sweep and multi-disciplinary interest.

The Theory That Would Not DieHow Bayes’ Rule Cracked theEnigma Code, Hunted DownRussian Submarines, and EmergedTriumphant from Two Centuriesof ControversySharon Bertsch McGrayne

Bayes’ rule appears to be astraightforward, one-line theorem: byupdating our initial beliefs withobjective new information, we get anew and improved belief. To itsadherents, it is an elegant statementabout learning from experience. To itsopponents, it is subjectivity run amok.

In this lively narrative history, notedscience writer Sharon BertschMcGrayne recounts the discovery ofBayes’ rule and reveals how thisseemingly simple mathematicaltheorem ignited one of the greatestscientific controversies of all time.She reveals why respectedstatisticians rendered it professionallytaboo for 150 years—at the sametime that practitioners relied on it tosolve crises involving greatuncertainty and scanty information,even breaking Germany’s Enigmacode during World War II. Today,Bayes' rule is used everywhere fromDNA decoding to HomelandSecurity.
