In Catastrophe 1914, Max Hastings re-creates this dramatic year, from the diplomatic crisis to the fighting in Belgium and France on the Western front, and Serbia and Galicia to the east. Yet the first months of the war, from the German invasion of Belgium to the Marne to Ypres, were utterly different, full of advances and retreats, tactical maneuvering, and significant gains and losses. World War I immediately evokes images of the trenches: grinding, halting battles that sacrificed millions of lives for no territory or visible gain.

Angelique books by sergeanne golon6/11/2023 The books were published by Bantam in 1958 in the United States and by Pan Books and other publishers in the United Kingdom. The books are not technically romances, more historic fiction with the continuing story of Angélique (and her husband, Joffrey de Peyrac) spanning the ages beginning in France during the time of Louis XIV and continuing to the "New World" and in fact around the world. Bantam published the books in one volume, titled "Angélique" in 1958. The first Angélique book, at over 900 pages, was published in 1957 in France (and in 1956 in Germany) in two volumes to make it "easier" to read, entitled Angélique, Marquise of the Angels and Angélique, the Road to Versailles. He was a Russian aristocrat who had fled Russia during the revolution, and they met during World War II. The books were first released in English under the name of Sergeanne Golon and later some under the name Anne et Serge Golon. Anne Golon is the pseudonym of Simone Goloubinoff, who together with her husband, Vsevolod Sergeïvich Goloubinoff, known as Serge Golon, wrote the Angélique books.
