Masterly Misled

By: Greg Keith Bathgate

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

In 1999, a Parliamentary (Senate) Inquiry in Australia had found that “a strong case can be made that the Kormoran’s underwater torpedo played a major role in the defeat of the Sydney”, whereas in 2009 the Commission of Inquiry had found that “the Sydney had been struck by a torpedo from the above-water tubes of the raider Kormoran while both vessels were sailing along at close quarters at a speed of some 14 knots”. These diverse rulings mean one or both are not correct. In fact, the latest inquiry has been eroded by more recent revelations from ordinary crewmen, but this inquiry took no notice of them. The inquiry into the loss of the cruiser HMAS Sydney on 19th November 1941 in 2009 had thus supported the views sent to the Admiralty some 80 years ago. Moreover, it had found that during the ships return to the port of Fremantle from escort duties, it had met the raider HSK Kormoran by chance.

Don't Call Me Goon

Hockey's Greatest Enforcers, Gunslingers, and Bad Boys

By: Greg Oliver,Richard Kamchen

Professional hockey enforcers—popularly known as “goons”—finally get their due in this rollicking look at the players who have perfected the art of making mayhem. Whether they are called upon to duke it out with a fellow troublemaker or intimidate an opponent’s top scorer, these are the men who get the crowds to their feet, the sports radio shows buzzing, and the TV audience spilling their beers in excitement. Old timers like Joe Hall and Red Horner are profiled here, along with legendary heavy hitters Tiger Williams, Stu Grimson, and Bob Probert, fan favorites Tie Domi and Georges Laroque, and contemporary hockey stars Arron Asham and Brian McGrattan. The book also delves into the intense debate over the issue of violence on the ice as well as the personal and professional dramas of the NHL’s bad boys: the suspensions, the concussions, and the constant controversy of their role in the game.

EPIC CONFRONTATION

Canada vs. Russia On Ice: The Greatest Sports Drama of All-Time

By: Greg Franke

There have been many thrilling and memorable sports rivalries. But none has ever combined such drama and excitement over such an extended period of time and against such a gripping background as the Cold War hockey rivalry between Canada and Russia (known at that time as the Soviet Union or USSR). For decades Canada had reigned unchallenged as the dominant country at the sport-and the pride that came with knowing that their beloved national game was one thing at which they were unquestionably t

The Pittsburgh Penguins

The First 25 Years

By: Greg Enright

The Pittsburgh Penguins have captured the Stanley Cup five times since 1991--more than any NHL team during the same period. Joining the NHL in 1967 as an expansion team, they waddled their way through years of heavy losses both on and off the ice--bad trades, horrible draft picks, a revolving door of owners, general managers and coaches, and even a bankruptcy. Somehow, they hung on long enough to draft superstar Mario Lemieux in 1984 and eventually claim their first championship, attracting a large fanbase along the way. Packed with colorful recollections from former players, reporters and team officials, this book tells the complete story of the Penguins' first 25 years, chronicling their often hilarious, sometimes tragic transformation from bumbling upstarts to one of hockey's most accomplished franchises.

Goaltenders' Union, The

Hockey's Greatest Puckstoppers, Acrobats, and Flakes

By: Greg Oliver,Richard Kamchen

A fresh, comprehensive, and entertaining take on hockey goalies In hockey, goalies have always been a contradiction - solitary men in a team game, the last line of defence and the stalwarts expected to save the day after any and every miscue and collapse from his teammates. It's no wonder that anyone who played the position has had his sanity questioned; yet some of the biggest innovations in the game have come from its puckstoppers. In The Goaltenders' Union, Greg Oliver and Richard Kamchen talk to more than 60 keepers of yesterday and today, finding common threads to their stories, and in dozens of interviews about them with other coaches and players. From Gilles "Gratoony the Loony" Gratton, who refused to play because the moon was out of alignment with Jupiter, to Jonathan Quick, the athletically gifted master keeper of today's game, the book is an entertaining and enlightening peek behind the mask.

Continuous Ferment

The History of Beer and Brewing in New Zealand

By: Greg Ryan

Since the first brew by Captain James Cook and the crew of the Resolution at Dusky Sound in April 1773, the story of beer has been deeply intertwined with the history of Aotearoa &– from the early settlers' prodigious consumption of golden ale to the six o' clock swill, from prohibition to the &‘ Black Budget' , from the domination of Lion and DB to the rise of craft beer.In this remarkable story of New Zealanders and beer, Greg Ryan tackles the big questions: Why did people drink and did they do so excessively by contemporary international standards? What did people drink and in what circumstances? How did tastes change over time? What role did brewers and publicans play in the community, other than as dispensers of alcohol?Richly illustrated, astute and entertaining, Continuous Ferment is both a fascinating analysis of New Zealand' s social history and a book for anyone with an enthusiasm for malt and hops, barrels and bottles, pilsners and porters.

Tales from Bush Graves – Cloncurry

A Study of Bush Grave Sites in Western Queensland

By: Anne Alloway,Roberta Morrison,Greg Humphrey

There are many lonely graves and isolated cemeteries scattered throughout the North Western area of Queensland. This book represents only a small gathering of information from a cross-section of outback inhabitants. Northwest Queensland is a very hard, harsh, rugged part of Australia, which has a strange beauty about it. Rocks and Spinifex surround the hills and valleys, with wide open plains and rivers. With fast cars and wide open roads the modern traveller can be forgiven for forgetting the days of the coach routes, and bush tracks that crisscrossed the country. The lonely miners and bush men who opened up much of this beautiful country and the black men who fought to keep the white man out often died and were buried in isolation, with few records accurately kept of their burials. There were literally hundreds of graves in Northwest Queensland some are virtually non-existent after many years of weathering and neglect, almost all lost in history, time and memories. The stories of their passing will be lost if it is not recorded. With the availability of modern technology people don’t have to face the hardships of their forebears who opened up the outback of Australia, faced droughts, floods, fires and being attacked by the local indigenous tribes. Here is a short history of some of those people who travelled the West and didn’t survive. Greg Humphrey

Oversight

New Navigation Discovery Invalidates Commission of Inquiry Findings on the Loss of HMAS Sydney II

By: Greg Bathgate,Phil Sheperd

The circumstances of the loss of HMAS Sydney II in November 1941 have, until now, largely been determined by officialdom. A Parliamentary Inquiry Report by the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade in 1999 was noncommittal in explaining the actions of the Sydney’s Captain, Joseph Burnett, in approaching the German raider, HSK Kormoran, whereas the Cole Commission of Inquiry conducted in 2008-9 held Burnett completely responsible for the loss of the cruiser. Commissioner Cole alleged that Captain Burnett chased the unknown vessel for an hour and a half at a speed of 14 knots (approx 20 nautical miles) after the vessel had turned away upon encountering the cruiser, that Burnett carelessly assessed the disguised raider as appearing innocent at all times, and that Burnett did not go to action stations and approached the vessel to within point-blank range to finally ascertain her identity. However, new evidence based on Kormoran’s actual navigation has found the raider sailed a much shorter distance (approx. eight nautical miles) from the turning point to the battle site, and as a consequence, Burnett had earlier ordered the suspected enemy vessel to stop. That Kormoran was ordered to stop clearly demonstrates that many of the findings made by Commissioner Cole are now unsustainable and that far from being careless, Burnett had indeed followed the prescribed challenge procedures. The navigation also confirms that both vessels were stationary or moving very slowly at the moment the action began, exposing Kormoran’s Captain Detmers’ use of the underwater torpedo tube in delivering the initial catastrophic blow to the Sydney.

Cincinnati Curiosities

Healing Powers of the Wamsley Madstone, Nocturnal Exploits of Old Man Dead, Mazeppa’s Naked Ride & More

By: Greg Hand

Explore the eccentric side of yesterday's Queen City Cincinnatians today wrap themselves in a comforting blanket of serene conformity, soothed by the myth that the Queen City has always been a bland, somewhat Germanic, little backwater. History tells us otherwise. Old Cincinnati was a pretty strange place. UFOs? Witchcraft? Sea Monsters? Occult societies? Public executions? All very common in Old Cincinnati. Over its history, this burgeoning river metropolis pursued the unusual, the sensational and the controversial. Cincinnati was big - among the ten largest U.S. cities. And it was rude and crude, still shaking off the dust from its years as a frontier outpost. Much of the popular nightlife then would be illegal today. Buckle up as author Greg Hand leads a rambunctious tour through the old, weird Cincinnati.
