Unfortunately when I order things online, they won't let me use either Firefox or Opera, so I have to use IE. Yes, it does suck.
And yes, Simon Hawke's Time Wars are probably very different from the Doctor Who brand. *g* The premise is essentially that in the future, once time travel is developed, wars will be fought in the past rather than the present, thus eliminating property damage & civilian deaths. In the first book, The Ivanhoe Gambit", a referee who is supposed to be making sure both sides follow the rules, goes renegade & decides to change the future by taking Richard I's place & making sure that he doesn't go anywhere *near* Agincourt, and is thus never killed there, meaning no King John, no Magna Carta... It's a fun series, and the difficulty in finding used copies suggests that other people are as unwilling to part with theirs as I am with mine. ;-)
