Lord Churchill's Coup
In LORD CHURCHILL’S COUP, Stephen Saunders Webb further advances his revisionist interpretation of the British Empire in the seventeenth century. Having earlier demonstrates that the Anglo=American empire was classic in its form, administered by an army, committed to territorial expansion, and motivated by crusading religion, Webb now argues that both England and its American social experiments were the underdeveloped elements of an empire emerging on both sides of the Atlantic and that the pivotal moment of that empire, the so-called “Glorious Revolution,” was in fact a military coup driven by religious fears. In a vigorous narrative, Webb populates this formative period of the Anglo-...

Edward D. Churchill’s Surgeon to Soldiers: Diary and Records of the Surgical Consultant, Allied Force Headquarters, World War II
First published in 1972, Edward D. Churchill’s Surgeon to Soldiers: Diary and Records of The Surgical Consultant, Allied Force Headquarters, World War II offers a unique perspective as wartime memoir. As the chief surgical consultant in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, Colonel Churchill preferred to spend his time in the field observing and analyzing conditions on the ground. His notes contain timeless precepts on combat casualty management, reveal his approach to navigating Army regulations and red tape, and illustrate his highly effective style of leadership and mentorship, all under austere conditions. Some eighty years later, the wisdom in these pages remains highly relevant. In this new edition, Jeremy W. Cannon and Eric A. Elster—both veterans of the Global War on Terror—pair Churchill’s original content with new commentary by the next generation of military surgical leaders and their military and civilian mentors.

The government troops sent out to confront them attempted to surround those in the village of Preston. Whilst being taken aback by government attacks, the rebels were asked to give up, and most were translocated to the Americas.
