Books by John Sweetman

The full story of one of the UKs most influential aeronautical engineers, an individual who contributed to many Hawker aircraft designs, from the biplanes of the 1920s to jet fighters.

The bitter war between Russia and Turkey, aided by Britain and France, was the setting for legends. This book details the suicidal Charge of the Light Brigade, the reports made by the first real war correspondent, William Russell of the Times and the deeds of Florence Nightingale.

The book is concerned with a subject which has not been treated before - the history over four centuries of Islamic artistic traditions and European ideas of Islam as they affected the visual arts of the west and particularly the English-speaking peoples.
