An Account of Bermuda, Past and Present. 1883. By John Ogilvy, born Aberdeen, Scotland 1831, died Frimley, Sussex, England 1899. Entered the British Army in 1853 as assistant surgeon, retired before 1885 with the honorary rank of Surgeon General. Listed in the Army List as Principal Medical Officer to Bermuda, 1882. It is believed he spent about five years in Bermuda in that position. One of his direct descendants is Scottish political satirist and comedian Rory Bremner, who discovered a connection to Bermuda in early 2009 through his great-grandfather, the island's deputy surgeon general in Victorian times, via the BBC genealogy program "Who Do You Think You Are?." During his years serving as the British Army's Principal Medical Officer to Bermuda, Bremner's great-grandfather married into one of the island's oldest families and wrote a book chronicling both Bermuda's history and the state of affairs in the late 19th century. Aberdeen-born Ogilvy had qualified at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh in the 1850s, going on to serve as a medical officer in the British Army during the Crimean War. Ogilvy went on to serve in India, then accepted the post of deputy surgeon general in Bermuda in 1881. Ogilvy was by this time a widower, and left his three children behind in England. While in Bermuda, he married a young woman called Emma Gilbert, a descendent of the original Trimingham family who arrived on the island in the mid-1600s. Ogilvy immersed himself in island life and researched its history, eventually completing this book. He had at least four children with his new Bermudian wife, who was well over 20 years his junior. He moved back to England with his young family after retiring from the British Army, reuniting with his other children and dying in Surrey in 1899.

Independence? 2004. By retired lawyer and former United Bermuda Party MP and Cabinet Minister William Cox. 2,000 copies of this epistolatory booklet were printed in which he makes plain that his sympathies lie with maintaining Bermuda's current constitutional position. In a foreword to a collection of seven letters mostly relating to Bermuda's constitutional relationship to the UK, Mr. Cox makes the case that "Bermuda has always benefited from this UK connection and the peace and prosperity we have enjoyed throughout our history and still enjoy is in no small measure due to this connection". He advises that "as with all relationships, if it is to work it must be a two-way street, which means it is necessary for there to be good relations between the Governor and the local Government." Mr. Cox takes successive Governments to task, arguing that while "the UK Government has always gone more than half way to meet the aspirations of the Bermuda Government . . . the Bermuda Government has not displayed the same goodwill in return, especially in the last 30 or so years". He lists a dozen events or factors that have made things difficult for the UK Government to work in harmony with the Bermuda Government over these years, including the 1972 murder of Police Commissioner George Duckett, the 1973 murders of Governor Sir Richard Sharples and his aide-de-camp Captain Hugh Sayers, and the decision of "the Gibbons Government" to hang the perpetrators. He alleges that "the 1983 Swan Government, spearheaded by the Finance Minister David Gibbons, publicly hounded Governor Richard Posnett out of office on trumped-up, spurious charges" and that the Pamela Gordon Government did likewise to Police Commissioner Colin Coxall in 1997. The Progressive Labour Party is not spared: Jennifer Smith is castigated for announcing the holding of a general election in 2002 without telling the Governor, and Premier Alex Scott for using the need for the appointment of a Chief Justice as an excuse to make irresponsible political and personal attacks on the Governor in the media. Mr. Cox warns: "If the Bermuda Government wishes to sever all links with the UK, it must hold a referendum and get a significant majority of Bermudians to support such a move." He suggests that "for members of the Bermuda Government not to observe at least the basic minimum of the courtesies which should be observed in ordinary human relations when dealing with the Governor indicates nothing other than bad breeding and ill manners".

In the Eye of All Trade: Bermuda, Bermudians, and the Maritime Atlantic World, 1680-1783. Dr. Michael Jarvis, 2009. Bermudians used their ships for commerce and travel between the island, the Caribbean, the continental Americas and wider afield and they were manned by men from all sectors of the community, free and slave, the latter until Emancipation in 1834. The importance of those ships, specifically designed for the island, is laid out in great detail in this new history book. University of Rochester historian Michael Jarvis won the 2010 James A. Rawley Prize in Atlantic History for this book. The honor is given to a single recipient each year by the American Historical Association, the country's premier scholarly organization for historians.

In the Hour of Victory. By former Police Commissioner Senator Jonathan Smith. 2011.

The story of Mr Smith’s grandfather, Major Anthony F (Toby) Smith, who fought for the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps (BVRC), a forerunner of today’s Bermuda Regiment, and the Lincolnshire Regiment. He was killed in action in Holland on October 14, 1944. The book is based on his original 300 letters, cards and telegrams and additional research conducted by Mr Smith. Major Smith was one of 12 children, five of whom saw active military duties in two world wars. He and the entire first contingent of soldiers of the BVRC and Bermuda Militia Artillery (BMA), survived a U-boat attack in July 1940 and spent several years in the United Kingdom before finally seeing active combat. Meanwhile, his family struggled to make ends meet during the war from their home in the United States and then in Bermuda. $35. The book is the subject of a film made by Lucinda Spurling.

The 17 year old Canadian teenager Rebecca Middleton's brutal repeated rape, sodomy, murder, probably the most sadistic sexual crimes ever committed against a woman and the fact that nobody was convicted for it, has been the focus of international headlines and documentaries over the years. It's also been the focus of several judicial appeals including one from top human rights lawyer Cherie Booth QC. Ms Booth, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, failed in her attempt to get Bermuda's Chief Justice to quash a prosecutor's decision not to reopen the case in 2007. The Bermuda Government, instead of offering to pay substantial compensation to bereaved parents, merely offered token compensation.

Last of the Flying Clippers. The Boeing 314 Story. M. D. Klass. 2006. With amenities modeled on those of the great luxury liners of the period, the 12 Boeing-314 Clippers operated by Pan Am and British Overseas Airlines Corporation remain the most luxurious aircraft ever to take to the skies. The sumptuous flying boats used to fly through Bermuda in the 1930s and '40s. The book includes sections on the aircraft's extensive use of the Darrell's Island airport in Bermuda. They were the largest aircraft of their type ever built, with a maximum of 74 passengers and 10 crew. They used island airports as intermediate stepping stones for ocean-spanning flights across the Atlantic and Pacific. The aircraft were commissioned from Boeing by Pan Am founder Juan Trippe – also the developer of Bermuda's Castle Harbour Hotel – specifically for trans-oceanic flights. PanAm operated nine of the aircraft while three were purchased by Imperial Airways, forerunner of today's British Airways and also flew through Bermuda en route to New York and other destinations. The aircraft were built between 1938 and 1941. After World War Two, seaplanes became obsolete because new, long-range aircraft such as the Lockheed Constellation could cross the Atlantic and Pacific non-stop

Marine Mollusks of Bermuda: Checklist and Bibliography. 2009. First complete and comprehensive catalogue of Bermuda's marine mollusks, after over a decade of preparation. Published by the Delaware Museum of Natural History. Compiled and catalogued by the late Bermuda-shell collector Russel H. Jensen and Dr. Timothy A. Pearce - the curator of mollusks at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. The detailed book is compiled from more than 750 literature sources and previously unpublished museum records. With 100 species never before reported, 66 only found in Bermuda and 900 mollusk species in total, it is by far the most thorough and complete list of Bermuda's Marine Mollusks printed to date. Russel Jensen, who's work provides the basis for the book, began studying marine Mollusks in Bermuda shortly after World War 2. He spent nearly 40 years scouring the depths around the island for new species and specimens. Along with Bermudian colleagues Jack Lightbourn and Arthur Guest the trio spent decades dredging the deep waters and exploring the inland waters for new specimens. In 1997 Dr. Pearce joined the team to add thousands of additional literature references and to complete the book after Mr. Jensen's death. Available at Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute and Bermuda Aquarium Museum and Zoo for $30.

Our Lady of Labour. Ottiwell Simmons. 2010. A tribute to Dr. Barbara Bertha Ball, MRCS, LRCP, OBE, former Member of Parliament and former Research Officer of the Bermuda Industrial Union (BIU). She died in March 2011 and who in the 1960s and beyond worked tirelessly with the BIU to improve workers' rights. Veteran labour leader and former MP Ottiwell Simmons has chronicled Dr. Ball's work with the BIU in one of the most turbulent periods of Bermuda's history. In 1942, the young Barbara Ball went to Liverpool University in England on a government scholarship to study medicine. After graduation she worked for five years in hospitals in Liverpool, Merseyside and Westmoreland. At the age of 30, she returned home to work as a family doctor. She started to gain the notice of the community, in 1960 ,when she spoke at a meeting of an anonymous group called 'The Committee for Universal Adult Suffrage'. They wanted all locals over the age of 21 to have the right to vote. In 1962, when Dr. Ball was first elected Secretary General at a BIU conference, she stuck out like a sore thumb. She was elected partly because some people at the conference thought that because she was white, she might get further with the white establishment they were battling with for things like the right to have union representation, better working conditions and better pay. The Bermudian community was turned upside down by the appointment. Whites seemed to reject her and push her away. Blacks suspected her as being a spy. She was thrown out of the a local medical association not long after she joined the BIU. In those days she had an office on Laffan Street where she treated mainly Portuguese and black patients. Even this was controversial, as white people mainly saw white doctors, and black people mainly saw black doctors. During a labour dispute where non-clinical workers struggled to be allowed union representation, Dr. Ball was suspended from seeing her patients at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital. The suspension was eventually lifted, but not until 6,000 people signed a petition on her behalf. One moment in her labour career that particularly stood out was the Belco strike of February 1965. On February 2, BIU members were picketing various gates at Belco. That day there were an estimated 400 people picketing, not just members of the BIU, but also people from other organizations who were sympathetic. A dispute began between the picketers and the Police seeming to hinge on how fast the picketers cleared the gate so that traffic could get onto the property. Later, the strike had sickening repercussions.

The Golden Age of Bermuda postcards. Horst Augustinovic. 2011. $48 from local bookstores. A picture book with a difference, based on his personal collection of picture postcards compiled over 40 years. Captivating and unusual postcard scenes from the late 19th and early 20th century, a compilation of 460 images. The volume begins with an account of the development of the printing process from the first rather plain monochrome postcards to four-colour chromolithographic cards and finally colour film and lithography. A printer himself, Mr Augustinovic determined forensically how the cards were printed and, next to the brief but informative of account of each process, has placed examples drawn from the collection. He also features the key postcard publishers and printers from the large, overseas publishers to smaller, local enterprises, including H G Recht, who owned a souvenir store on Church Street and the Tucker sisters, whose reproductions of their charming watercolours were sold with refreshments at their Little Green Door cafe at Barr's Bay. There are the typical city views of Hamilton waterfront, significant buildings such as Gibbs Hill Lighthouse and the view there from, the interiors and exteriors of hotels, public parks and coastal views. There are also elements of our community that no longer exist: the workings of a Royal Naval dockyard, washerwomen, the fish market at Hamilton wharf, and fruit and vegetable sellers on Front Street. Whale-butchering, vegetable-packing, horse racing and stone quarrying are also the subject of the postcards. Among the exotic are striking flora and native children.

The Impact of Climatic Change in Bermuda. Dr. Anne Glasspool, for the Bermuda National Trust. Not a book but a 2010 report. Forecasts stronger hurricanes and extensive flooding. Up to 14 percent of the Island's land area could soon be at risk of flooding during high tides, while sea level rise and increased storm intensity will also threaten coastal areas. Bermuda's challenge will be for leaders and residents to understand and accept the science that supports climate change, be aware of the threats of climate change to Bermuda, and for them to come together and effectively plan for future sustainability, by identifying, agreeing and adopting the correct mitigation measures to offset the forecasted threats of this global phenomenon.

The Princess Spies. CIA Officer Thomas F. Troy who died in 2008. Article, not book. The operation at the Princess Hotel, near Hamilton, Bermuda, from 1940 was essentially the filter through which all correspondence in the Western hemisphere was inspected. To the average person during World War Two, censorship during times of war was a routine activity. It didn't generate much interest. And that's exactly how British Intelligence authorities wanted it to look because behind the walls of 13 rooms within the hotel, top secret sleuthing, a la James Bond, was taking place. Even the majority of the "examiners" didn't know what went on behind closed doors. Under the leadership of British Intelligence officer William Stephenson, a Canadian some say was one of the real-life inspirations for the literary and movie super-spy James Bond, the co-ordination of the secret "offensive" censorship took place in the 1940s.Troy says espionage experts used technologically-advanced techniques to break into letters and packages in order to produce and plant "forgeries useful in propaganda and blackmail operations." The group of experts could obtain the contents of any package leaving no trace of their tampering. Using innovative techniques for the time they could even extract a letter from an envelope without cutting, steaming or replacing it with a forged replica. Their work proved to be so useful to the combined efforts of the war that Sir William called the censorship initiative "a political weapon of very special importance . . . credit to all concerned." The hotel has many other fascinating connections to the legacy of James Bond and to victory of the Allied Forces in World War two.

The Role of Agriculture in Bermuda’s Future. 2010. Not a book but a factual report. Researched and prepared by Aran McKittrick. Summarizes some of the historic and modern challenges facing the agricultural industry, with an aim to better explaining their effect on the use and protection of arable land in Bermuda. Agriculture has played a crucial role in Bermuda’s history forming an essential part of both the Island’s cultural and natural heritage. Despite this, the agricultural industry and agricultural land have been in a steady state of decline over the last 90 years. There is general consensus amongst many stakeholders that both are in a critical state and are fast becoming obsolete. Bermudians themselves have played an active role in the decline of agriculture, whether as agricultural land owners or as consumers. Over time, Bermudians’ diminishing appreciation for the agricultural sector has caused it to become undervalued and neglected. The result is that Bermuda has lost an estimated 87 percent of its agricultural land since the turn of the 20th century. Of the 735 acres of arable land available for agricultural use, only 360 acres are being actively farmed. Although an estimated 40 percent of the population is involved in backyard farming, there are only 18 full time farmers and 33 part-time farmers in the industry today. The challenges the potential collapse of the agricultural industry and the loss of agricultural land pose to Bermuda are far greater than just the loss of commercial farming, however. There are other significant challenges to which most Bermudians are indifferent, the most important of which is food security.

The Canadian-Bermudian author states how the two bases at St. David's and Southampton closed in 1995 also refers to the $11 million settlement the Bermuda Government collected in 2002, since referred by Premier Ewart Brown to US Attorney General Eric Holder in hope of a better settlement after, according to the government, the bases left behind vast amounts of oil, as well as mercury, paint and batteries. US Navy contractor JA Jones gave a $65 million estimate for cleaning up the mess at what are now Southside and Morgan's Point. Research for the book included interviews with US Department of State officials involved in negotiating that deal, as well as local players who handled the shutdown of the base lands, such as former Premier Sir John Swan and former Cabinet Minister Grant Gibbons. Grearson, employed by the then-government to administer the newly-acquired base lands, claims the USA has closed the file.
