Welcome to the fifth edition of the Bugle for 2017!
This edition's article news section features a bumper list of new A-class articles, covering topics ranging from a medieval "warrior-caliph" to the development of the atomic bomb. The regular book review section largely covers books on grim topics, with Hawkeye7 reviewing a work on early American nuclear war doctrine and the external reviews including a new book on the mass euthanasia of British pets at the start of the Second World War.
Fortunately it's not all doom and gloom, with TomStar81's op-ed covering the little-known link between the First World War and the introduction of daylight saving time. Tom also contributes his regular timeline of the events of the First World War 100 years ago this month.
