Bibliography
As usual this is a non exhaustive list, but hopefully gives you a feel for where I’ve pulled information from; I’ve used Wikipedia articles to give you a feel for what happened when, but there is no substitute for actually sitting and reading some of the source materials, so I’d recommend the Offline section for those seriously interested in the subjects covered.Online
