Selected Bibliography

 

The articles contained on this website were, and for those in the works and yet to come are, a labor of love. Rather than being scholarly works, these are all works of popular history. As such, I have not included references and citations within the articles, as these could distract from reading shorter works such as these. I have however, followed a method of fact checking and cross referencing whenever possible. Where not possible, or if a certain aspect is not quite certain, I have stated so within the text.

 

Several books, articles and other materials have been referenced, but these listed below have proved to be valuable, inspiring, and notable enough to list for these purposes.
