Editing George Shipway (section)

==Novels==
Shipway's cavalry background served him well when he took up writing; his descriptions of cavalry battles are full of minute detail and his works generally were meticulously researched. His first novel ''Imperial Governor'' (1968) made use of both his military and teaching knowledge to analyse the character of the Roman general [[Suetonius Paulinus]], who suppressed [[Boudicca]]'s rebellion of AD 60. Other novels dealt with pre-classical Greek, medieval and Indian historical themes.

In his 1969 novel ''Knight in Anarchy'' Shipway describes the life of Humphrey de Visdelou as he follows [[Geoffrey de Mandeville, 1st Earl of Essex|Geoffrey de Mandeville]] to his doom. In the book Shipway indicates that he lives on the estates that de Visdelou once owned. The Vis de Lou family certainly held lands in Berkshire post-Conquest.

Shipway died in 1982.
