The first published work on the Victoria Cross appeared in 1857 - the same year as the first VC investiture. In recent years, a resurgence of interest has led to the publication of numerous new titles and others are scheduled for publication or are in preparation. Until now there has been no comprehensive bibliography of the Victoria Cross. This volume represents the efforts of a team of researchers in the UK, Canada and Australia. The book is divided into three sectons: Part I Contains a listing of 630 key VC titles each with a description and annotation. Part II lists over 100 non-fiction and ficitonal books written by VC recipients but unrelated to the VC. Part III is the Index, which lists, in alphabetical order, every VC recipient and records the date of the London Gazette citation. Additionally it identifies the books in which the recipients are referred to in detail, enabling the researcher to quickly identify key works.
