A list
- By American, British, Canadian, local and other
authors. Most are self-published or vanity published, a risky venture
demanding care, time in research, invariably having to store books and
possibly finding difficulty in locating book shops that will carry them and
under what circumstances. But vanity book publishers can help up-and-coming
authors of quality material to realize their dream of seeing their books in
print, especially if they have little or no success in approaching, or
prefer not to go to, mainstream publishers.
- This list focuses mostly on
books available in Bermuda, from local bookshops.
- To have a book listed here,
the bookstore or author should contact this author directly (but please do
not send any book, just a reference to it If it has a website, it will be
linked once the link to Bermuda Online at http://www.bermuda-online.org
is shown from your site or the publisher's site.
- There are no
discount book shops (stores) in Bermuda as there are in USA, Canada, UK, etc.
Otherwise, go
directly to the author if still
living, or any bookstore, NOT this author nor website as neither are in the
book-selling business.
- Not a bibliography but a basic
- maximum 6 lines of text unless of outstanding 100% local interest - for
the majority of visitors and professional newcomers from overseas.
-
When prices are shown, they are in Bermuda dollars and were at publication date only.
- Those without 'Bermuda' in their title
may nevertheless have some unique articles
on Bermuda. Some are rare in Bermuda, much sought by local collectors and
expensive. Be aware that Bermuda has changed so much in so many ways that most
travel books of 2003 or earlier may be significantly out of date.

A Random Walk Through the
Forest. 2009. Former Bermuda chief education
officer Joseph Christopher. 140 pages, self-published. Its
subject matter is one which has fascinated him throughout his career, how the
"unfair" structure of the school system in Bermuda has been used to
subjugate black people. His book traces
education in Bermuda in the last half of the 20th century, detailing a time when
there was a disproportionate number of Government-supported high schools for
whites and highlighting the "less demanding" curriculum implemented in
black schools. He claims that several schools that are now private, such as
Saltus Grammar and Bermuda High School for Girls, "grabbed from the public
purse" as much as they could before opting out of the state system when
schools were being desegregated. "They left when government policies did
not suit them. Schools for blacks have traditionally been kept under tight
control by the Government with schools for whites allowed to have far more
freedom under autonomous boards. The result is
that black families have had little say in how schools are run and have bought
into a myth that they are failing. Young people in those schools sense that they
are expected to fail and feel alienated as a result." Dr.
Christopher is a
former principal of Sandys Secondary School and physics lecturer at the Sixth
Form Centre.

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.

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".

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, which used to fly through Bermuda in the 1930s and '40s, are
highlighted here. 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. 84,000 pounds, four-engined, they were 106
feet long, had a wing span of 152 feet and had a top speed of 199 miles per
hour. 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

Mollusks of Bermuda: Checklist and Bibliography. 2009. First complete and

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.

The
Princess Spies. CIA Officer Thomas F. Troy who died in 2008.. Article, not
book. The operation at the Princess Hotel, near Hamilton, Bermuda, 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.

450 pages. $49.99. Self-published, 1,500 copies. 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.
