Over the last seven hundred years the United Kingdom has acquired a
staggering array of treasures as a direct result of its military
activities - from Joan of Arc's ring to the Rock of Gibraltar to
Hitler's desk. Spoils of War describes these spoils and how they
came to be acquired as well as telling the tales of some of the
extraordinary (and extraordinarily incompetent) men and women, now
mostly forgotten, who had a hand in the rise and fall of the
British Empire. Along the way the book debunks a significant number
of myths, exposes a major fraud perpetrated on a leading London
museum, reveals previously unknown spoils of war and casts light on
some very dark corners of Britain's military history.
