Into the Dark Water
The Story of Three Officers and PT-109
John J. Domagalski Made famous by her final commanding officer, John F. Kennedy, PT-109 is one of the most celebrated warships in American history. However, a full chronicle of PT-109s wartime story has been lacking. Behind the familiar account of the future president and the boats violent demise is the little-known record under two previous officers during the swirling battles around Guadalcanal. In these nocturnal fights, when the Japanese navy was at its apex, Americas fast-boat flotillas would sally out to probe enemy strength, vying with enemy destroyers, who were similarly roaming the waters. It was constant hit-and-run and dodging between searchlights across Iron Bottom Sound, as the PT-boats darted in among the enemy fleet. Bryant Larson and Rollin Westholm preceded Kennedy as commanders of PT-109, and their fights with the brave ship and its crew hold second to none in the chronicles of US Navy daring. As the battles moved on across the Pacific the PT-boat flotillas gained confidence, even as the Japanese, too, learned lessons in how to destroy them. Under its third and final commander, Kennedy, PT-109 came a cropper as a Japanese destroyer suddenly emerged from a dark mist and rammed it in half. Two crewmen were killed immediately but Kennedy was able to shepherd his wounded and others to refuge. His gallantry cannot resist retelling, yet the courage of the books previous commanders have not till now seen the light of day. $29.95 288 pages 6 x 9 16pp photos April 2014 hardback 978-1-61200-234-7 eISBN: 978-1-61200-2354
The Normandy Battlefields

D-Day and the Bridgehead
Leo Marriot Simon Forty With their 70th anniversary just around the corner, the D-Day landings have lost none of their impact. Even today the vestiges of Hitlers Atlantic Wall speak of the undertaking necessary for the Allies to gain a foothold in Normandy. In this beautiful new full-color book, the reader goes onsite to the sacred battleground from its scarred medieval villages to the remains of modern means of destruction. The huge armada that attacked left behind signs of their passage: from the huge caissons of the mulberry harbor to the memorials, graves and cemeteries that honor those who died on both sides. It is in memory of the dead that much of what can be seen on the ground survives, but as the last few survivors reach their 90s, a new audience requires information about the events of the past that can only come from seeing the ground where the battle was fought. The Normandy Battlefields details what can be seen on the ground using a mixture of media to provide a complete overview of the campaign. Maps highlight what has survived and what hasnt; then-and-now photography allows comparisons with the images taken at the time and artwork provides graphic details of things that cant be seen today. The book describes the area from Cherbourg to Le Havre by way of the key D-Day locations. It covers, wherever possible, the forces from both sides and the memorials to those young men who fought so many years ago. $29.95 224 pages 6 x 9 color photos throughout March 2014 hardback 978-1-61200-231-6

The Battle of the Bridges
The 504 Parachute Infantry Regiment in Operation Market Garden
Frank Van Luteren Operation Market Garden has been recorded as a complete Allied failure in World War II, an overreach that resulted in an entire airborne division being destroyed at its apex. However, within that operation were episodes of heroism that still remain unsung. On September, 17, 1944, the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, floated down across the Dutch countryside and proceeded to fight their way to vital bridges to enable the Allied offensive to go forward. The Germans knew the importance of the bridge over the Waal River at Nijmegen as well as James Gavin and his 82nd troopers did. Thus began a desperate fight for the Americans to seize it. The Germans would not give, however, and fought tenaciously in the town and fortified the bridge. On September 20 Gavin turned his paratroopers into sailors and conducted a daylight amphibious assault across the Waal River to secure the north end of the highway bridge in Nijmegen. German machine guns and mortars boiled the water on the crossing, but somehow a number of paratroopers made it to the far bank. Their ferocity thence rolled up the German defenses, and by the end of day the bridge had fallen. $32.95 336 pages 6 x 9 16pp photos June 2014 hardback 978-1-61200-232-3 eISBN: 978-1-61200-2330 This book draws on previously unpublished sources to shed light on the exploits of the Devils in Baggy Pants by Dutch author and historian Frank van Lunteren. A native of Arnhem, the author draws on nearly 130 interviews he personally conducted with veterans of the 504th, plus Dutch civilians and British and German soldiers, who here tell their story for the first time.
Stemming the Blitzkrieg

Hitler's Failure on the Road to Moscow, 1941
Victor Kamenir Winston Churchill once said, History is written by the victors. While this may generally be true, in the case of the Second World War in Russia it seems as if the reverse has been true, as history has been written by the defeated German generals. Even the name to the theater of operations, the Eastern Front, betrays a German-centric bias to the history of what in terms of magnitude should properly be called the main event of the war. Now, however, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the opening up of Soviet archives a new generation of historians are able to present the rest of the story regarding the Russo-German War. As he did in his first book, The Bloody Triangle, author Victor Kamenir has delved deeply into these archives to present a balanced history of the central thrust of the German invasion of the USSR. He shows how the Red Army, despite being overmatched at the beginning of Hitlers Operation Barbarossa, valiantly fought back, slowing the German offensive, strategically trading space of the vast Russian steppes for the vital time needed to regroup and prepare for the defense of the Soviet capital, and the counterattack that stopped the mighty German Wehrmacht literally at the gates of Moscow. $32.95 304 pages 6 x 9 16pp photos May 2014 hardback 978-1-61200-205-7 eISBN: 978-1-61200-2064 Many books extoll the German effort, which faced the endless Russian hordes. This book looks at that horde itself, who were in fact flesh-and-blood humans, and examines how in the face of admittedly superior German military expertise they were able to save their capital and homeland from a surprise onslaught from the West.

Hammer of the North
The Rise and Decline of Sweden as a Military Superpower
Henrik O. Lunde There has been a recent trend in history to interpret the rise and fall of great powers in terms of economics, demographics, or geography. This is not always true because sometimes military skill can propel a nation to prominence, if it is simply able to crush its opponents on a battlefield. No better example arises than that of Sweden beginning in the 17th century, which held supremacy over northern Europe for 100 years without any technological, geographic or demographic advantages. This book describes how the Swedes arrived in continental Europe during the 30 Years War, under their king Gustavus Adolfus. Just in time to roll back the reactionary Catholic tide and buttress the Lutherans, the Swedes proved more innovative in battle than their opponents. This horrific war still exists in collective memory as the worst travail in German history, even worse than the world wars; however along with the salvation of Protestantism the emergence of the Swedes as a power to be reckoned with meant new geopolitical complications for the existing powers of Europe. Adolphus was eventually killed in battle, but a successor, Charles XII, renewed aggression as he found that no army on the Continent could stand against his legions. As later military leaders would find, however, the conquest of Russia comprised a considerable overreach, and Charles was eventually trapped and defeated deep in the Ukraine, at Poltava. In this work renowned military historian Henrik O. Lunde unveils a fascinating chapter in the foundation of Western history that is seldom seen or recognized by English or American readers.

A Few Lawless Vagabonds

Ethan Allen, the Republic of Vermont, and the American Revolution
David Bennet This work takes us beneath the veneer of the famous Green Mountain Boys to reveal the story of how a hardened army happened to be present in Americas northern colonies at the start of the Revolution. Under their first dynamic commander, Ethan Allen, the Green Mountain Boys indeed formed and fought against a larger powerthe Colony of New York, which tried to make claim to Vermont land. Meantime Vermont itself was termed the Hampshire Grants, and was considered to be a part of that similarly nebulous New England territory. The Vermonters would have little of it and under Ethan Allen formed their own militia to combat encroachers from either side. Allen was not an innocent in the mix, and had his own agenda, including financial or landowning ones. But the spirit he and his men showed in defense of their isolated mountains has come to epitomize Americas own spirit of independence against any untoward or unwanted regime. When the Revolution against Britain arrived, the Green Mountain Boys were one of the few organized, experienced combat units Washington could call on from the northeast. They were immediately put to good use, seizing the British fortress at Ticonderoga and afterward helping to invade Canada. But in mid-1777 was declared the Republic of Vermont, sending a signal to all comers that those rustic fighters didnt wish to be governed by anyone except themselves. Eventually the Vermonters would be persuaded to join the new nation itself, even if, as this fascinating book proves, they never considered that path such an easy one.

The Lieutenant Dont Know
One Marines Story of Warfare and Combat Logistics in Afghanistan
Jeffrey D. Clement In our wars since 2001 the term front line has long since lost its meaning, and the true combats have waged throughout the countries weve invaded, especially along the supply routes. Our opponents have not been able to stand with conventional forces, but instead attack inside our lines, their presence everywhere, if not always discernible. Into this mix of behind-the-lines attacks, combat logistics have played a larger role than ever. When he joined the Marines, Jeff Clement was not a high-speed, top-secret recon guy. A logistician instead, he led combat convoys across treacherous terrain in southern Afghanistan through frequent enemy attacks in order to resupply US and British positions. As such he and his vehicles were a constant target of the resistance, and each movement was a travail, often accompanied by thundering blasts as the insurgents paved their way with IEDs. Each movement was fraught with danger, even as each objective had to be met. As a Marine Corps lieutenant, he deployed to Afghanistan twice, and always found a learning curve, as men previously on the ground were more savvy, and the insurgents, there for the duration, were savvier still. $32.95 264 pages 6 x 9 16pp photos April 2014 hardback 978-1-61200-248-4 eISBN: 978-1-61200-2491 The Lieutenant Dont Know provides a refreshing look at the nitty-gritty of what our troops have been dealing with in Afghanistan, from the perspective of a young officer who was perfectly willing to learn, and also take responsibility for his units in a confusing war where combat was not merely on the front, but all around, and looking over all their roads.
BAC SI
A Green Beret Medics War in Vietnam
Jerry Krizan Robert Dumont During the Vietnam War, U.S. Army Special Forces A-Teams were deployed to isolated outposts in the remote areas of South Vietnam. Their job was to recruit, train, and house members of the indigenous population while molding them into combat-ready fighting units. A-Teams consisted of up to 12 Green Beret soldiers who were experts in both combat and their individual military specialties. The role of the indigenous units was to provide border security, counter the Viet Cong insurgency in the countryside, provide intelligence on enemy troop-strength and when necessary engage elements of the invading North Vietnamese Army. Bac Si (the Vietnamese term for medic) is the story of Sgt. Jerry Krizan who was assigned to Special Forces Camp A-331 in the III Corps tactical zone, only 10 miles from the Cambodian border. Because of its proximity to a major north-south NVA infiltration route, there were constant enemy troop movements through the camps area of operations and A-331 itself came under attack on more than one occasion. $32.95 240 pages 6 x 9 16pp photos May 2014 hardback 978-1-61200-246-0 eISBN: 978-1-61200-2477 The author meantime needed to accompany patrols and probes into enemy territory, not only prepared to provide aid but fight as a soldier if the squad was ambushed, or itself chose to attack. In this small-unit warfare against expert enemy, U.S. soldiers had to survive as best they could, with their only succor a Huey, and meantime on the ground by themselves against unknown opposition.

Mercenaries
Putting the World to Rights with Hired Guns
Al J. Venter Mercenaries have been a part warfare for centuries, and though the names have changed, continue to play a part in global military conflicts. In todays world these soldiers for hire are an attractive alternative when Western governments are reluctant to put their militaries at risk for obscure causes that would otherwise be difficult to explain to their electorates. In this book noted author and foreign correspondent Al Venter provides a fascinating look at modern merc actions in the Middle East and Africa. From brushfire wars in the Congo to outright genocides in Biafra, highly skilled mercenaries were called upon to fight for order, and also for a living. Whether facing fanatics in Somalia or revolutionaries in Rhodesia, staving off cannibals in Sierra Leone or assisting a civil war in Angola the mercs put their lives on the line for a cause. Many mercenaries freelanced, but under talented freebooting leaders some groups became crack outfits. South Africas Executive Outcomes became a legend in its own time like a quasi-military itself, as it dispatched fighters throughout the continent. Like an ad hoc Foreign Legion, fighters came from all countries around the globe to participate in the combats. In the US, the publisher of Soldier of Fortune magazine organized repeated expeditions from Laos to Peru. In Afghanistan the renowned helicopter gunship pilot Nellis has recently lent his skills after almost singlehandedly defeating gruesome insurgencies in Africa.

Mallochs Spitfire
The Story and Restoration of PK350
Nick Meikle Spitfire PK350 is the only late-mark Spitfire to have ever been restored to full flying status. She first flew as a restored aircraft on 29 March 1980 at the hands of one John McVicar Jack Malloch. By then a legend in his adopted country Rhodesia, Malloch had been entrusted by the hierarchy of the Rhodesian Air Force to restore SR64, as she was then known. In two and half years, Jack Malloch and his trusted engineers completely restored SR64 to flying condition. The fact that she was fitted with a propeller made by a German company added a sweet irony to a project that had to contend with sanctions imposed by Britain and highlighted the enterprising spirit of the team. This was possible because Malloch had built up a charter airfreight company that assumed different guises to bypass sanctions. Mallochs network facilitated his ability to manage such a project in his quest to fulfill a dream: to restore and once again fly a Spitfire which he had flown in the RAF during the Second World War. Fascinating insights are revealed in this account. From the test pilot who first flew her as PK350 on 25 July 1945 to the true ownership and vision for SR64 as a restored aircraft, the reader is taken on a journey through the aircrafts complete life. For two years PK350 delighted those fortunate enough to see her fly, mostly round Salisbury airport. Then, on what was planned to be its last flight, Mallochs Spitfire never returned to base.

Manfred von Richthofen, Max Immelmann, Oswald Boelcke and other famous daredevil flyers are joined by the lesser-known but equally resourceful colleagues such as Rudolph von Eschwege and Hand Shuz, taking part in furious battles in the sky and close escapes on the ground when brought down on the wrong side of the lines. German War Birds contains some of the earliest information to appear after the war about air combat in the Middle East and Russia, as well as the Western Front, and about the significance of observation balloons as targets that were viciously attacked. The author focuses on the heart of the action and recreates the experiences of the airborne war with immediacy, excitement and a vivid turn of phrase, drawing the reader into events as they happen.

Available records and publications show McScotch himself as a fighter pilot with 40 Squadron, holding the rank of lieutenant and then captain. He is credited with 12 kills of German opponents. This is a detailed and exciting account of squadron life and shows the bravery and true comradeship of these flyers.

Ted Fahrenwald $16.95 204 pages 6x9 photos May 2014 paperback 978-1-61200-254-5 eISBN 978-1-61200-192-0 Ted Fahrenwald flew P-47s and P-51s with the famed 352nd Fighter Group during the critical tipping-point period of the air war over Europe. A classic devil-may-care fighter pilot, he was also a distinctively talented writer and correspondent. After a typical day of aerial combat and strafing missions over Nazi-occupied Europeand of course, the requisite partying and creative mischief on baseTed would sit in his Nissen hut at a borrowed manual typewriter and compose exquisitely humorous letters detailing his exploits in the air and on the ground to his family back home. But these letters are not the mundane missives of a homesick young man who missed his mothers cooking. Rather, this educated and incurably comedic pilot detailed his aerial exploits in a hilarious, self-effacing style that he didnt sanitizemuch. Ted enthusiastically narrates the day-to-day rollercoaster ribaldry that was the natural M.O. of the young men who were tasked to kill Hitlers Luftwaffe. His descriptions of near-constant drinking, skirt-chasing, gambling, and out-and-out tomfoolery put the lie to the notion of the Greatest Generation as an earnest band of do-gooders. Ending with the day Teds Mustang The Joker was blown out of the sky, this book serves as a prequel to his renowned work Bailout Over Normandy. Meantime, these collected letters are a boon not only to military and aviation historians, but to those who study language, culture, and the science of societies at war.

David Hilton-Barber $14.95 136 pages 6 x 9 145 b/w illustrations November 2013 paperback 978-0-620-55904-1 The concession to mine gold at Tati was granted to Sir John Swinburne, by Lobengula, last king of the Matabele. Although called by colonial imperialists a savage king and a native despot, Lobengula was exceedingly wellmade, corpulent, with a commanding presence and, when in a good temper, having a kind heart and a full appreciation of humor. The gold at Tati was actually on the site of prehistoric diggings that had been mined there 400 years previously by the Makalanga people. Tati lay on the missionary road to the north and it was part of Cecil Rhodess dream of a continuous tract of British imperialism from Cape to Cairo. The annexation of Bechuanaland was a result of the conflicts between the tribes within the area. Gold from the early diggings here found its way to Great Zimbabwe. This forgotten corner of the subcontinent encapsulates a chapter of our history involving five countries, powerful men, much subterfuge, a botched invasion, a rebellion, land annexation, prospectors, hunters, traders and adventurers.

Donal McCracken $19.95 168 pages 6 x 9 15 b/w illustrations November 2013 paperback 978-1-920143-76-3 Donal McCracken was working on a book of Ireland and the AngloBoer War when he came upon a slim volume. It was a war diary written by a young German from Halbertstad named Ernest Luther. As a child, Luther went with his mother to New York. From there, he fought as a volunteer in three wars: the GraecoTurkish War, the United StatesSpanish War and the AngloBoer War. In South Africa Luther joined an Irish commando in the Boer army and fought against the British. Aged around twenty, he was killed in action in September 1900 during the Boer retreat through the Eastern Transvaal. The diary, published in 1900 in English, consists of only 54 small pages, but it is packed with action and invaluable as a source about the Boer retreat as well as about such matters as indiscipline in the commando, drunkenness, use of dum-dum bullets, and so forth.

Amphibious Warfare
Strategy and Tactics from Gallipoli to Iraq
Ian Speller Christopher Tuck $34.95 192 pages 7.25 x 9.75 150 b/w photos maps April 2014 hardback 978-1-78274-140-4 Landing on a hostile beach is one of the most ancient and difficult forms of warfare. It requires unparalleled levels of planning, organization, coordination and cooperation between the services. After the disasters of Gallipoli and Zeebrugge in the World War I, amphibious operations reached their maturity in World War II. Since 1945, expeditionary naval forces have set off for a wide range of destinations. In the post-Cold War era, amphibious warfare has reached new heights of importance in its ability to intervene rapidly in crisis situations. Rather than following a narrative history, Amphibious Warfare takes the approach of building up the stages of an amphibious campaign, illustrating each with case studies. From planning and preparation to reaching landing zones, Amphibious Warfare offers the complete picture of the people, strategy and tactics, ships and landing craft, tanks and aircraft, as well as the assaults involved.

Berlin
The Final Reckoning
Karl Bahm $29.95 192 pages 7.25 x 9.75 35 color, 150 b/w photos, 10 maps April 2014 hardback 978-1-78274-135-0 In April 1945, the final dramatic act of World War II in Europe was played out in Germanys capital city. This book is a comprehensive history of the last battle of Nazi Germany, which would see the virtual destruction of a city. Berlin 1945 begins with a study of the background to the battle and a description of events on the Eastern and Western Fronts. The German forces available for Berlins defense and their actual defensive preparations are covered in depth, as is the devastating destruction caused by the Allied bombing and shelling by the Soviet forces. The book describes how a bitter hand-to-hand struggle developed between fanatical Nazis, SS troopers, old men and young boys of the Hitler Youth and the hard-bitten Soviet front-line troops bent on revenge. The suffering of the soldiers and civilians are revealed in full detail, with personal accounts from those involved in the battle.
The Battle of the Bulge

Hitlers Last Hope
Robin Cross $29.95 192 pages 7.25 x 9.75 35 color, 150 b/w photos, 10 maps April 2014 hardback 978-1-78274-136-7 In December 1944, the German Army launched an attack through the Ardennes forest that aimed to seize the port of Antwerp and cut the Allied supply lines, hoping to force the Western Allies either to delay their advance on Berlin or agree to a peace settlement. The Battle of the Bulge is a comprehensive history of Germanys last offensive in the West in World War II, the failure of which hastened the end of the war. The successful Allied landings in Normandy in June 1944 had not indicated that all was lost for Germany and the Battle of the Bulge certainly confirmed this, revealing weaknesses in inexperienced American troops and poor Allied defenses, as well as German strength in the successful deception by German forces wearing US uniforms. The books authoritative text is complemented with detailed maps explaining troop movements and appendices with orders of battle.

By the end of the Second World War the RAF Spitfire pilot was a household name in Britain. Although he missed the Battle of Britain, by 1945 he had notched up 38 enemy kills all fighters, which took far more skill to shoot down and was officially the RAFs top-scoring fighter ace. One of his most impressive achievements was that, despite over 1,000 combat missions, he was never shot down. His Spitfire was damaged once and on his return to base he apologized to his fitter saying, I was surrounded by six of them.

In a field largely dominated by men, the contributions of women are often overlooked but are no less important. Equal to men in both their bravery and in the sacrifices they made, the female undercover operatives of the Second World War deserve to have their stories told.

Ships of Pembroke Dockyard

Phil Carradice $24.50 160 pages 6.75 x 9.75 160 illustrations November 2013 paperback 978-1-4456-1290-4 The year 2014 marks the bicentenary of Pembroke Dock. This book looks at the ships created during the history of the dockyard, covering their construction, careers and, in many cases, their demise. During those years, nearly 300 ships were built at Pembroke Dock, the only Royal Naval dockyard to exist in Wales, but only two major conflicts took place, so most Pembroke ships served in the constant series of skirmishes that marked the growth of the British Empire.
Londons Underground at War

Nick Cooper $20.00 128 pages 6 x 9 150 illustrations January 2014 paperback 978-14456-2201-9 The coming of war brought many challenges to the infrastructure of the transport system.

Other aspects are covered including the community-driven adoption of the deep Tube lines as refuge from the air raids. As a result, London transport was tasked with constructing a number of deep shelters. Most of these structures still exist, although largely unnoticed among todays landscape.

This book tells us how Glyndwr came to stir Wales into war, and why his name still resonates as one of the greatest warriors the world has ever seen.
Vikings!
Ian Stephenson $16.00 192 pages 4.75 x 7.75 46 illustrations November 2013 paperback 978-14456-1389-5 Viking is such a vivid word, steeped in imagery and blood. The Viking Age began and ended in England. Its first act in AD 789 was a murder on a beach in Dorset; its last was the crowning of a Dane in London as king of a united England. In between, the Vikings waged war on four continents; they besieged London, Paris and Constantinople, founded Russia and the Duchy of Normandy and nearly snuffed out AngloSaxon England.

50 Avions de Caza/ 50 Fighter Planes

Volume I
Carlos Fresno Crespo Bilingual Editions - English/Spanish This large format collection combines illustrations that have already been published together with other newly produced ones, under a common theme. This first volume compiles illustrations corresponding to 50 Fighter Planes from all periods and nationalities, in a chronological order. In this first volume, the compilation of illustrations has been grouped into five chapters: The First World War (1914-1918), the interwar period (1919-1939), the Second World War (1939-1945), the Cold War (1946-1989) and Contemporary Aircraft (from 1990 to the present day). In order to classify each model selected, the date of the first flight is used as a reference point, resulting in some paradoxes, such as the fact that the airplanes that took part in the first actions during the Second World War appear assigned to the interwar period, because they were designed and carried out their first flight during that period. The majority of the illustrations originate from the brushstrokes by Luis Fresno Crespo and Julio Lopez Caeiro, outstanding illustrators, who have achieved a symbiosis so strong that it is difficult to determine which work belongs to each of them.

Festung Guernsey 3.1 & 3.2
The Fortifications of Guernsey-East Coast St Martins Point to St Sampsons
$23.00 86 pages 8.25 x 11.5 74 illustrations and 4 maps Now Available paperback 978-0-9572456-0-0 The Channel Islands of Guernsey and Jersey nestle in the lee of the French coast. They are, however, British and in 1940 they became the first and only British territory to be occupied by the rapidly moving armies of Hitlers blitzkrieg. Hitler swiftly became obsessed by his conquest. Determined that they should not be retaken he set in place a massive series of fortifications designed to make the islands impregnable fortresses or Festung, as part of the Atlantic Wall. In 1944 Lieutenant Colonel Hubner was charged with making a record of the immense fortifications. His team was drawn from the Divisionskartenstelle , the Divisional Cartographic Section, with some fourteen noncommissioned officers working across: drawing, photography, cartography, calligraphy and printing. The result is a stunning and comprehensive picture of the fortifications and a complete guide to their workings. Festung Guernsey consists of 22 chapters and was originally published as a limited edition of 135, two volume sets, bound in leather. This paperback version consists of 10 separate volumes, each consisting of 1, 2 or 3 chapters and replicates the page numbering of the original edition. Volumes are being published every four months with the 10th being completed in May 2015 the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the islands by Force 135. By 1944 Guernsey was the most fortified place in the world. These immense fortifications were built using slave labor. Please pause for a moment before turning the page and remember the men of many nationalities upon whose privations, ill treatment and lives this Festung was built. This volume covers the coastal fortifications along the east coast from St Martins Point to St Sampsons.

The Extraordinary Memoir of a Second World War Bomber Command Pilot on the Run in Germany and Holland.
Frank Dell / Brett Piper $34.95 208 pages 6.25 x 9.25 16 page b/w photo section June 2014 hardback 978-09926207-2-1 Frank Dells experience as a Second World War pilot with the Royal Air Forces Light Night Striking Force takes a dramatic turn when his Mosquito is shot down over Germany on the night of 14/15 October 1944. In Mosquito Down Frank recounts his escape from the disintegrating aircraft, his descent by parachute, and how, battered and bruised, he finds himself in a field adjacent to a German V2 rocket launch pad. Determined to avoid capture Frank crosses Nazi Germany and finds refuge in Holland with a Dutch Resistance group. A schoolboy when the conflict broke out, Frank Dells extraordinary war takes him from a Home Guard unit defending the English coast against enemy invasion in 1940, to a tragic incident leading to the execution of Dutch civilians only weeks before the end of the hostilities. Franks observant eye gives insight into what it is like to train and fly operationally with RAF Bomber Command, followed by the even greater challenges he confronts as he narrowly escapes capture while on the run from the Germans. Through compelling narrative Frank Dell shares his unique story with honesty and candor, finding humor and camaraderie. He emerges from his traumatic experiences with heightened respect for the courageous Dutch families who risked death to shelter him and other Allied airmen.
D-Day Bomber Command Henry Maudslay Failed to Return Dam Buster

Steve Darlow / Sean Feast / Marc Hall $34.95 128 pages 8.25 x 10.75 illustrated throughout in color and b/w June 2014 hardback 978-0-9926207-1-4 On 6 June 1944 the Allies launched one of the greatest military feats of all time, forcing a reentry in to Fortress Europe the sea borne and airborne assault upon the coastline of Normandy. Key to the success of the D-Day campaign was the contribution of the Royal Air Forces Bomber Command. Bomber Command aircrew attacked rail yards and communications targets to isolate the battle area from enemy reinforcement, bombarded enemy positions, supplied the French Resistance, and deceived the enemy as to the true whereabouts of the beach landings. Thousands of young Bomber Command aircrew sacrificed their lives attacking invasion targets in the three months prior to the beach landings. More airmen failed to return on DDay itself. Thousands more now either rest in French or Belgian cemeteries or are listed as missing as a result of further raids in support of the Normandy land campaign. On the 70th anniversary of D-Day Fighting High Publishing brings together acclaimed historians to tell the story of some of those who became casualties serving with Bomber Command. Illustrated throughout with color and black and white photographs, the vast majority previously unpublished, D-Day Bomber Command: Failed to Return ensures the memory of the D-Day bomber boys, who sacrificed all, is kept alive. Lest we forget. Robert Owen $49.95 400 pages 6.25 x 9.25 b/w picture section April 2014 hardback 978-09926207-0-7 The Dam Buster raid, Operation Chastise, has gone down in history as one of the greatest feats of arms executed by the Royal Air Force. Extraordinary demands were placed upon the airmen who took part in the raid, one of whom was the particularly accomplished young pilot Henry Maudslay. Henry flew his first operational tour with No. 44 Squadron on Handley Page Hampdens, following which his experiences and skills were utilized during service trials for the new Avro Lancaster. Henry joined No. 50 Squadron at the start of 1943 for a second tour and in March 1943 he was selected to join a new squadron, No. 617, then forming at RAF Scampton. Henry Maudslay attacked the Eder Dam on the night of 16/17 May 1943. After a number of attempts, he released his weapon which struck the parapet and detonated on impact almost immediately behind the aircraft. Contrary to contemporary reports the aircraft survived, and set course for home, only to be brought down near the Rhine with the loss of all its crew. Combining material from family, school and official archives, together with personal letters and recollections from those who knew him, Robert Owen describes in detail the family background, school life and extraordinary flying career of this young and enigmatic airman.

This book depicts the experience of that army in Normandy through its own records and documentation.

Memoirs of an Armoured Car Commander, 19441945
Otto Henning $34.95 6 x 9 16pp of plates January 2014 hardback 978-1-84832-691-0 The armored reconnaissance units were the spearheads of the Panzer divisions, moving stealthily ahead of the tanks to locate the enemy. Otto Hennings armored car unit of the elite Panzer-Lehr-Division fought throughout the campaigns in the West in 1944 and 1945, arriving in Normandy a few weeks before DDay and finally surrendering in the Ruhr pocket in mid-April 1945. Henning describes the difficulties reconnaissance forces faced in the close terrain of the Normandy bocage and the threat posed by the Allies complete control of the air. He saw the devastation wrought by Michael Wittmanns lone Tiger tank against the British 7th Armored Division at Villers Bocage, and experienced the chaos and demoralization of the Germans retreat across France. After the Battle of the Bulge and the final fighting in western Germany, Henning surrendered and endured terrible conditions in a prisoner-ofwar camp until he escaped in 1947. This is a fascinating and often harrowing account of the final campaigns in Western Europe, and exposes the little-known scandal of the treatment of German prisoners-of-war even after the war had ended.

He was also awarded the German Cross in Gold, the Iron Cross First and Second Class and the Wound Badge in Gold. Drafted into the SS-Totenkopf in 1939, he served with a motorized unit in Poland, and in May 1941 was selected for the LeibstandarteSS Adolf Hitler, with which he fought in the invasion of the Soviet Union. His unit converted to a Panzer Grenadier formation in 1942, and Kindler went on to fight at Kharkov and Kursk on the Eastern Front, and later in Belgium and France in 1944, where he was present at the infamous Malmedy massacre. At the end of the war, he was the last man of the LeibstandarteSS to surrender to the Americans. This is one of the most dramatic first-hand accounts to come out of the Second World War.

Although capable of stunning achievements against all the odds, the absence of proper coordination and planning resulted in a lost opportunity for Germany. Units were raised ad hoc, as an increasingly desperate response to Germanys weakening position and the growing strength of the Allies. Packed with detail and incisive analysis, this is one of the most accessible accounts of Germanys Special Forces and their efforts to stave off impending military defeat.

James Lucas $19.95 6 x 9 32 b/w plates June 2014 paperback 978-1-84832-738-2 The German army in World War II sought victories in a succession of short campaigns. Battle groups were created from disparate units to undertake an operation; it was the armys skill in combining superior numbers, aggressive tactics and the commanders ability to exploit the situation on the ground which brought success on the battlefield. The actions described cover all theaters of the war. It covers operations in the first years when Wehrmacht forces defeated the armies of one country after another, to the years after Stalingrad and Africa as they moved towards defeat.

German Bravery in the Field, 19391945
James Lucas $19.95 6 x 9 16 b/w plates April 2014 paperback 978-1-84832736-8 As absolute as Hitlers control over the German war machine was, it depended on the ability, judgment and loyalty of the senior officers charged with putting his ideas into effect. Top military historian James Lucas examines the stories of fourteen of these men: all of different rank, from varied backgrounds, and highly awarded, who exemplify German military prowess at its most dangerous.
The Road to Dunkirk

The British Expeditionary Force and the Battle of the Ypres-Comines Canal, 1940 Charles More
$39.95 6 x 9 8pp of plates and 5 maps February 2014 hardback 978-1-84832-733-7 This is an important reassessment of a period in the British Expeditionary Forces fight against the German armies invading France in 1940. On 25 May Lord Gort, the British commander, decided to move 5th Division north in order to plug a gap in his Armys defenses. Over the next three days the division fought a little-known engagement, the Battle of the Ypres-Comines Canal, to hold the Germans at bay while the rest of the BEF retreated towards Dunkirk.
Two Fronts, One War

Charles W. Sasser $32.95 6 x 9 16pp of plates May 2014 hardback 978-1-84832727-6 War is the story of individuals painted into a broader tapestry of overpowering events. While examining the wider historical perspective to lay the foundation, this book relates the individual stories of the Second World War of Allied bomber pilots shot down over Germany, of American dog faces fighting to grip a toehold on Iwo Jima, of men struggling for survival during the Bataan Death March, of tankers in Europe and pilots who flew the first B-29s against Japans mainland, of incredible feats of heroism and self-sacrifice, even of great wartime romances.

Joel Greenberg $50.00 6 x 9 16 pages of plates May 2014 hardback 978-184832-752-8 The Official Secrets Act has prevented the Bletchley Park story from being told by many of its key participants. Here is a book which allows some of them to speak for the first time. Gordon Welchman was one of the Parks most important figures. Like Turing, his work was fundamental to the success of Bletchley Park and helped pave the way for the digital age. Yet, his story is unknown to many. His book, The Hut Six Story, was the first to reveal not only how they broke the codes, but how it was done on an industrial scale.

Disaster at DDay
The Germans Defeat The Allies, June 1944
Peter Tsouras $19.95 6 x 9 16 pages of b/w plates November 2013 paperback 978-1-84832723-8 It is June 1944. The Allied armies are poised for the full-scale invasion of Fortress Europe. Across the Channel, the vaunted Wehrmacht lies waiting for the signs of invasion, ready for the final battle. What happens next is well-known to any student of modern history. The outcome could easily have been very different, as Peter Tsouras shows in this masterful and devastating account in which plans, missions and landings go horribly wrong. Tsouras firmly bases his narrative on facts but introduces minor adjustments at the opening of the campaign-the repositioning of a unit, bad weather and misjudged orders-and examines their effect as they gather momentum and impact on all subsequent events. Without deviating from the genuine possibilities of the situation, he presents a scenario that keeps the reader guessing and changes the course of history.
JG 26
Top Guns of the Luftwaffe
Donald Caldwell $50.00 6 x 9 February 2014 hardback 978-1-84832-746-7 JJagdgeschwader 26, the German elite fighter unit, was more feared by the Allies than any other Luftwaffe group. Based on extensive archival research in Europe, personal combat diaries and interviews with more than 50 surviving pilots, Caldwell has assembled a superb day-to-day chronicle of JG 26 operations, from its first air victory in 1939 to its final combat patrol in 1945. A microcosm of World War II exists in the rise and fall of this famous fighter wing. For the first two years of the war it was an even match between the Spitfires and Hurricanes of the Royal Air Force and the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitts and Focke Wulfs; but the scales tipped in favor of the Allies in 1943 with the arrival of the Eighth US Air Force and its peerless P-51 Mustang. The book has been endorsed by the top fighter commanders of three air forces: the RAF (Johnnie Johnson), the USAAF (Hub Zemke), and the Luftwaffe (Adolf Galland) and is considered essential reading for anyone interested in the aerial war of 194145.
Luftwaffe Over Germany

Defense of the Reich
D Caldwell R Muller $60.00 8 x 9.75 200 b/w photos May 2014 hardback 978-1-84832-741-2 The Luftwaffe over Germany tells the story of one of the longest and most intense air battles in history. The daylight air struggles over Germany during World War II involved thousands of aircraft, dozens of units, and hundreds of aerial engagements. Until now, there has been no single book that covers the complete story, from the highest levels of air strategy to the individual tales of Fw 190s, Bf 109s and Me 262s in air combat against the American bomber streams. This ground-breaking work explores the detrimental effect of Luftwaffe theory and doctrine on the German air arms ability to defend the homeland once the Allied Combined Bomber Offensive began in earnest. By mid-1944, they had lost the battle but had exacted a terrible price from the Americans in the process. The product of a ten-year collaboration between two noted Luftwaffe historians, this work fills a major gap in the literature of World War II. The authors have examined original war diaries, logbooks, doctrine manuals, afteraction reports, and interviews with many combat veterans to produce a richly detailed account. Illustrated with nearly two hundred photographs, as well as new maps and diagrams, this is the standard work on the subject.

Alongside Erich Ludendorff he secured a crucial victory over the Russians at Tannenberg before finding fame through a number of significant victories such as the Battle of the Masurian Lakes. His memoirs, written in the aftermath of the German defeat, provide compelling insights into German strategy and are essential reading for anyone interested in the First World War.

Sniper Jackson
A First Novel
Frederick Sleath $32.95 6.25 x 9.5 May 2014 hardback 978-184832-745-0 Although it reads as a novel, Sniper Jackson can be justifiably viewed as faction weaving true events around a mythical character. This was a commonplace method of writing at a time when many soldiers did not want individuals or events in their books to be identified, and used pseudonyms to conceal their identities. Sleaths work bears the hallmarks of personal experience, in particular those small details of trench life and the insights into the close-knit camaraderie commonly found in specialist units that only those who have experienced it could know.

The 250 letters were published in different British newspapers and provide crucial insights into perceptions of the battles that preceded the siege, the onset of the siege itself, and the desperate and bloody attempts to relieve the town. These letters reflect the feelings of junior officers and other ranks as they coped with modern warfare and provide commentary upon the events in Natal that shattered prewar confidence in Britain.

The actual relief represented the first decisive upturn in the fortunes of the British war effort, soon followed by a defeat of the Boers at the battle of Paardeberg. Within Kimberley, citizens suffered from dwindling food stocks and enemy shelling, but even more controversial were the tensions that erupted between the siege commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Kekewich, and Kimberleys leading citizen, Cecil Rhodes. In this illuminating new history, Edward Spiers, presents a selection of firsthand accounts of this epic siege.

After just two weeks, Napoleon had battered the Habsburg Archduke Charles in a series of bruising defeats. This volume begins with Napoleon astride the Danube at Regensburg.

The account begins with both armies recuperating on the banks of the Danube. As they rest, important action was taking place elsewhere: Eugene won a crucial victory over Johann on the anniversary of Marengo, Prince Poniatowskis Poles outflanked another Austrian archduke along the Vistula, and Marmont drove an Austrian force out of Dalmatia to join Napoleon at Vienna.

They were truly remarkable finds, and extremely rare examples of a near-extinct and important WWI aircraft type none of which had survived in Britain. Recognizing their importance to the UKs aviation heritage, and excited by the challenge of restoration, Guy set about negotiating their purchase and returning them back to England.

Christopher Shores Giovanni Massimello $85.00 608 pages 6 x 9 illustrated July 2014 hardback 978-1-909166-12-7 Volume I of this series dealt with the 19 months of the air war over the Western Desert of North Africa. This volume picks up as the 8th Army was forced back midway between the Cyrenaican/Tripolitanian border of Libya and the frontier with Egypt. It covers the lull prior to the defeat of the 8th Army in June 1942 and the loss of the important port and fortress of Tobruk. The efforts of the Allied air forces to protect the retreating British and Commonwealth troops is examined. So too is the fighting which followed in the El Alamein region as the line was stabilized. This period was ameliorated for the Western Desert Air Force by the arrival of the Spitfires. The buildup of both the army and air force which followed meant that Rommels Deutsche Afrika Korps was defeated at Alam el Halfa in September, and again at the battle of El Alamein in October. Joined by the first units of the United States Army Air Force, the Allied air forces began to achieve a growing ascendancy over those of the Axis.

After serving from one year to thirteen months, the boys were transferred into the Reich Labor Service and from there into the armed forces. Most were called up at sixteen, but many, like the author, were only fifteen. The boys served in batteries of light and heavy flak. Although the government insisted school programs continue for Flakhelfer, the effort was a sham. Schlesier served as Flakhelfer in the regions that suffered the heaviest air raids of the war in the Rhineland and the Ruhr. His is a coming of age story in a world gone mad, where a teenage was finally thrown, unprepared, into a disintegrating frontline only fifty kilometers from his childhood home.

After his sentence and imprisonment, Paul is sent to fight in defense of bases north of Hanoi. He survives three years of mortal risks but he compares his service with the Waffen SS during the last year of war with the French Expeditionary Force.

While praising Rokossovsky's masterful generalship, the author does not shy away from criticizing the nature of Soviet military strategy, in which the guiding principle was "at all costs" and little value was placed on holding down casualties.

Caen Controversy
The Battle for Sword Beach 1944
Andrew Stewart $59.95 184 pages 6 x 9 30 b/w photos and 8 pages of color maps May 2014 hardback 9781-909982-12-3 On 6 June 1944, troops landed in Normandy by air and sea in one of the key moments of the Second World War. By the day's end, Operation OVERLORD was hailed as a success. In reality the assault had mixed results. The key objectives had not been captured during the first day and this failure would have consequences. Of the priority targets, the city of Caen was a vital hub plus it would act as an axis for launching attacks against the Germans. As a result a brigade of British troops was tasked with its capture but their advance culminated a few miles short. This book examines the planning, preparation and attack that was made at Sword beach, with an emphasis attached to the drive on Caen.

This study is based on the operational documents of the Army and provides an analysis of every battle it fought in World War II. The combat operations are covered from both sides. The day by day coverage of events, statistical data, and the 'human element' based on firsthand reminiscences of Soviet tank officers make this study an valuable source of information on tank battles fought on the Eastern Front.

Here, the best panzer forces of the Third Reich and the elite of the Panzerwaffe were assembled armed with the most combat equipment. This was considered a secondary axis for the Red Army, and the troops had to stop the German counteroffensive with their own forces. Relying upon their rich combat experience, the Soviet troops stopped the tidal wave of German armor and inflicted a decisive defeat and irreplaceable loss upon the enemy.

Indeed, the invasion on April 9th saw the first use of airborne troops in the war and was also one of the very few amphibious operations undertaken by the Germans during the Second World War. It is hoped that Niall Cherry's new work will fill this gap

It traces his rise to the position of Chief of the General Staff and the way in which he developed the functions of the General Staff. Moltkes contribution to the allied campaign of Prussia and Austria against Denmark in 1864 was an important part of his own development, before the inevitable war between the successful allies in 1866.

Alaric Searle $59.95 224 pages 6 x 9 8 pages of b/w photos and 4 maps June 2014 hardback 978-1-909982-22-2 While much has been written on the history of the tank, this volume brings together a collection of essays which uncover new aspects of the history of these early machines. Leading military historians from Britain, France and Germany offer insights into the emergence of the tank before the First World War, during the conflict, as well as what happened to them after the guns fell silent on the Western Front.

The aim of the book is to reconsider the history of First World War tanks by widening the historical perspective beyond Britain, to include France and Germany, and by reflecting on the pre-1914 and post-1918 history of the these new weapons of war.
Shellshocked Prophets
Former Anglican Army Chaplains in Inter-War Britain
Linda Parker $79.95 272 pages 6 x 9 10 b/w photos June 2014 hardback 978-1-909982-25-3 The Anglican chaplains who served in the Great War were changed by their experience of total war. This book argues that in the interwar years the impact of chaplains was enhanced by their experiences in an unprecedented global conflict, which gave their actions more moral authority than would otherwise been the case. This question of the impact of former chaplains is considered in the context of debates about the effect that the war had on British society as a whole and on the Church of England. The inter-war years have been described as the long peace as the chaplains were coming to terms with the way the Great War had affected their lives and ministries. In the twenty years after their wartime chaplaincies, former chaplains had gone to fulfill the hopes and aspirations articulated on their return from the front and could claim to have contributed greatly to both developments in the Anglican Church and in wider society.

Charles Singleton $29.95 80 pages 6 x 9 20 b/w illustrations, 9 maps and 8 pages of color plates June 2014 paperback 978-1909384-97-2 A brilliant young poet, leading a gallant band whose epic adventure ends in defeat, betrayal and execution. Montrose was a doomed Kings general who dared to win and lost it all. The Scottish Royalist armed forces, along with its principal leader, the Marquis of Montrose, have had a romantic veneer that has long obscured their true composition and function. In this work, the author examines the troops and their operational doctrines within the themes of the early modern Military Revolution, and places the Scots Royalists within a greater European context of development. The book is enlivened by specially commissioned color uniform plates based on the latest research, showing how Montroses troops really appeared on the battlefield.

Jonathon Riley $69.95 192 pages 6 x 9 50 illustrations with 8 pages in color, 22 maps June 2014 hardback 978-1-909982-20-8 When Charles II returned home he began the search for a dynastic marriage. He fixed upon the Infanta of Portugal, Catherine of Braganza, whose dowry included Tangier, Bombay and valuable trade concessions. The Portuguese had been fighting for their independence from Spain for twenty years and needed alliances to tip the scales in their favor. In return for the concessions Charles agreed to send Portugal a regiment of horse and two of foot. There were also officers and men who had remained loyal to the crown. Former Royalists made up the regiment of horse uncomfortable bedfellows for their former enemies. The English and French regiments fought at the series of battles that followed who proved the decisive factor in winning Portugals independence. But in return for their courage in battle, the English soldiers were rewarded with insults and want of pay. At the conclusion of peace in 1667, only 1,000 out of the 3,500 men who made up the force were left standing.

To some, nuclear deterrence appeared as utter madness. The concept of Mutually Assured Destruction provoked protests and marches, and the architect of M.A.D, General Curtis LeMay, became a symbol of madness himself. This story takes place in the Cold War trenches of the Strategic Air Command.

John P. Cann $49.95 296 pages 6 x 9 50 photos and 20 maps May 2014 paperback 978-1-90998206-2 Following the 1952 reorganization of the Portuguese Air Force from the army and naval air arms, Portugal had an entity dedicated to aviation that would bring it into line with its new NATO commitment. As it proceeded to develop competence in modern multiengine and jet fighter aircraft, it was confronted in 1961 with fighting insurgencies in all three of its African possessions. This development forced it to acquire a new and separate air force, the African air force, to address this emerging danger. This is the story of how Portuguese leadership dealt with this threat, and how it assembled an air force from scratch to meet it.

Andrei Evgenievich Snesarev $39.95 200 pages 6 x 9 1 illustration and 1 map March 2014 paperback 978-1-909982-03-1 In May 1921, the Kingdom of Afghanistan signed a treaty of friendship with the Soviet Union. The British perceived the treaty as a threat to British India. There were fears that Britain would invade Afghanistan and the Workers and Peasants Red Army began preparations to aid Afghanistan. Britain was still aiding the holdout elements of the White Army in the Russian civil war. The Soviet Union needed to finish their civil war and deal with Britain and the Soviet southern border. The Soviets put their regional scholar, General Andrei Snesarev, on the job. Snesarevs lectures were part of this preparation. Snesarevs knowledge was critical and so his lectures were printed as a book. His book was not available to the Russian public until recently and has not been available in English until this printing.

War and Politics in the Desert

Britain and Libya during the Second World War
Saul Kelly $29.95 256 pages 33 figs., 5 maps Now Available Silphium Press paperback 978-1900971-09-6 In recent years there has been a renewed interest in the War in the Desert, that epic struggle of the Second World War between Axis and Allied forces for control of North Africa, from 1940 to 1943. The current literature concentrates on the military battles, but war cannot be separated from politics: War and Politics sets out to fill this void by chronicling and analyzing the key political debates. Kelly describes the political background to the future of the Italian colony of Libya, and the tribes, sects and factions dwelling in Cyrenaica, Tripolitania and the Fezzan, and their fundamental importance in the development of Libya towards independence in 1951. The extensive bibliography is invaluable for those wishing to further their knowledge. With newly drawn maps taken from WWII sources and many black and white and color photographs, some not previously published, this is not only a compelling and intellectually stimulating read but also a vivid one.

The Church of England and the First World War

Alan Wilkinson $45.00 382 pages February 2014 Lutterworth Press paperback 978-0-71889321-7 The Church of England has often been severely criticized for its role in the First World War, but this is the first study to be published in this country which treats its involvement at length, with carefully researched material forming the basis of a balanced judgment. Every aspect of the Churchs life before and during the war is considered: its reaction to the outbreak of hostilities, the work of its chaplains in the field, its handling of the pastoral problems caused by widespread death in the trenches and bereavement at home, its responses to anti-German hysteria and the agitation for reprisals, and the undermining by the war of traditional attitudes towards theology, ethics, and church structures. Alan Wilkinson also evaluates the response of the Church of England to postwar problems. A vivid picture of the impact of trench warfare on twentieth-century sensibility emerges, reinforced by the use of contemporary photographs and illustrations.

Life and Death Aboard the Mary Rose
Julie Gardiner $99.95 760 pages Now Available Oxbow Books hardback 978-1-84217-504-0 The Mary Rose carried a crew of naval officers and sailors, a fighting force of gunners and soldiers, a Barber-surgeon, several ships carpenters and skilled navigators. Of nearly 500 men, fewer than 40 survived the sinking on 19th July 1545. Trapped by netting, or below deck, they stood little chance, and their bodies and belongings went to the bottom of the sea.

Before the Mast explores how the men of the Mary Rose lived, through their surviving possessions; how they were fed; their music and recreation, medicine for illness and injury, as well as working practices, stowage, navigation and ships communications.

Matthew Richardson $39.95 304 pages 6 x 9 100 color and b/w illustrations January 2014 hardback 978-1-84884-777-4 The opening battles on the Western Front marked a watershed in military history. A dramatic, almost Napoleonic war of movement quickly gave way to static, attritional warfare in which modern weaponry had forced the combatants to take to the earth. Some of the last cavalry charges took place in the same theater in which armored cars, motorcycles and airplanes were beginning to make their presence felt. These developments were recorded in detail by soldiers who were eyewitnesses to them. There is a freshness to their accounts which Richardson exploits in this reassessment of the 1914 campaign. His narrative emphasizes the perspective of the soldiers of the British Army, the men at the sharp end of the fighting.
Artillery in the Great War

Paul Strong Sanders Marble $39.95 272 pages 6 x 9 30 illustrations January 2014 paperback 978-1-78303-012-5 Artillery was the decisive weapon of the Great War it dominated the battlefields. Yet the history of artillery during the conflict has been neglected, and its impact on the fighting is inadequately understood. Paul Strong and Sanders Marble, in this important and highly readable study, seek to balance the account. Their work shows that artillery was central to the tactics of the belligerent nations throughout the long course of the conflict, in attack and in defense. They describe, in vivid detail, how in theory and practice the use of artillery developed in different ways among the opposing armies, and they reveal how artillery men on all sides coped with the extraordinary challenges that confronted them on the battlefield.

John Grehan Martin Mace $34.95 256 pages 6 x 9 Illustrated June 2014 hardback 978-1-78303-298-3 The bombing campaign conducted against Germany and German-occupied Europe in the Second World War was, and remains, one of the most controversial operations of the entire war. Much of Bomber Commands effort was what was defined as area bombing, in which whole cities or districts were targeted. This strategy was so successful it almost brought Germany to the point of collapse until Churchill, worried about the devastation it was causing and the number of civilian deaths which resulted, ordered it to cease. Harris dispatches explain in great detail the success of his methods which, if given full reign, may have brought the war to a speedier conclusion but would have meant even more German casualties. Such was the controversy surrounding Bomber Commands operations; Harris dispatches were not published by the government, even though the dispatches of every other branch of the armed services, and all of their operations, were made public.

Emperors, Armies and Anarchy
Nic Fields $34.95 256 pages 6 x 9 5 maps, 8pp b/w plates June 2014 hardback 978-178159-188-8 With the death of Nero by his own shaky hand, the Iulio-Claudian dynasty came to an end, and Rome was up for the taking. This was 9 June, AD 68. The following year, commonly known as the Year of the Four Emperors, was probably one of Romes worst. Neros death threw up a critical question for the Empire. How could a new man occupy the vacant throne in Rome and establish a new dynasty? This situation had never arisen before. And how might a new emperor secure his position and authority with regards to the Senate and to the army, as well as to those who had vested interest in the system, the Praetorian Guard? The result was that ambitious and unscrupulous generals of the empire fell into a bloody power struggle to decide who had the right to wear the imperial purple.
The Collapse of Rome

Marius, Sulla and the First Civil War
Gareth C Sampson $29.95 304 pages 6 x 9 8pp b/w, 2 or 3 maps November 2013 hardback 978-1-84884-326-4 By the early first century BC, the Roman Republic had a massive empire and was the most powerful state in the Mediterranean. Roman armies had marched over enemies far and wide, but the Roman heartland was soon to feel the tramp of armies on campaign as the Republic was convulsed by civil war, sounding the first death knell of the Republican system. At the center of the conflict was the rivalry between Marius, victor of the Jugurthine and Northern wars, and his former subordinate, Sulla. But, as Gareth Sampson points out in this new analysis, the situation was much more complex than the traditional view portrays it and the scope of the First Civil War both wider and longer.
Sulla
A Dictator Reconsidered
Lynda Telford $39.95 304 pages 6 x 9 8pp plates April 2014 hardback 9781-78303-048-4 Lucius Cornelius Sulla is one of the central figures of the Roman Republic. Indeed, he is considered a catalyst in the death of the republican system. The general whose feud with a rival led to his marching on Rome with an army at his back, leading to civil war and the terrible bloodletting of the proscriptions. In these things, he set a precedent to be followed by Julius Caesar a generation later. Lynda Telford believes Sullas portrayal as a monstrous, brutal tyrant is unjustified. While accepting that he was responsible for much bloodshed, she contends that he was no more brutal than many of his contemporaries. Moreover, even his harshest measures were motivated not by selfish ambition but by genuine desire to do what he believed best for Rome.

Poems of Waterloo
Harry Turner $29.95 96 pages 6 x 9 February 2014 hardback 978-1-78303-014-9 At about 11:30 on a Sunday morning in 1815, a few shots rang out as the curtain-raiser to one of Europes most titanic military clashes. By late afternoon, at the close of the Battle of Waterloo, nearly 40,000 men lay dead or wounded. Until that day, the army of Napoleon Bonaparte seemed almost invincible. Indeed, by mid-afternoon, victory for the French seemed a distinct possibility. But the Allied army, led by the Duke of Wellington and ably assisted by Marshal Blcher, finally delivered a fatal blow that not only defeated the French forces but destroyed forever Napoleons dreams of conquest and glory, in which he would stand astride Europe like a colossus. Events that day confirmed the Duke of Wellington as a military genius and Blcher as an eccentric but loyal ally.

$24.95 83 minutes 5.25 x 7.5 January 2014 DVD NTSC 4260110582162 Between 1939 and 1945 the warring nations of the Second World War battled each other in the air over Europe and the Pacific Ocean in lethal competition. The goal was air domination. Aerial combat was affected by the quality of the plane on the one hand and the abilities, training and courage of the pilot on the other. It was important to both sides that their planes flew faster, could fly tighter curves, had a longer range and carried the most accurate weapons. Often it was the technical advantages that decided the life and death of the pilots. While the First World War was merely influenced by aerial forces, Second World War aviation was already playing a decisive role. Control of the skies became the absolute key to victory; the ruler above the battlefield could observe enemy movements and, with fighters and bombers, massively impede the enemys plans.

The main battle tanks were used on the front lines, providing vital combat support for the Wehrmacht and other Army units and allowing them to score vital victories against the Allied advance. The German Army was responsible for building some of the greatest examples of battle tanks seen throughout the war including the PANZER III (1940-42), PANZER IV (1943-44 ) and the TIGER. These fearsome machines are shown in action on this film through original archive footage.

The Chickamauga Campaign A Mad Irregular Battle
From the Crossing of Tennessee River Through the First Day, August 22 - September 19, 1863
David A. Powell $37.50 672 pages 6 x 9 32 b/w images and 27 maps June 2014 hardback 978-161121-174-0 eISBN: 978-1-61121-175-7 Chickamauga, according to soldier rumor, is a Cherokee word meaning River of Death. It certainly lived up to that grim sobriquet in September 1863 when the Union Army of the Cumberland and Confederate Army of Tennessee waged bloody combat along the banks of West Chickamauga Creek. Long considered a two-day affair, author David Powell embraces a fresh approach that explores Chickamauga as a three-day battle, with September 18 being key to understanding how the fighting developed the next morning. Despite its size and fascinating cast of characters, this Western Theater battle has received but scant attention. Powell rectifies this oversight with The Chickamauga CampaignA Mad Irregular Battle. The first of three installments spanning the entire campaign includes the Tullahoma Campaign in June and continues through the second day of fighting on September 19. The second installment finishes the battle from dawn on September 20 and carries both armies through the retreat into Chattanooga and the beginning of the siege. The third and last book of the series includes appendices and essays exploring specific questions about the battle in detail. Powells study fully explores the battle from all perspectives and is based upon fifteen years of intensive study and research that has uncovered nearly 2,000 primary sources from generals to private, all stitched together to relate the remarkable story that was Chickamauga.
Stand to It and Give Them Hell

Gettysburg as the Soldiers Experienced it from Cemetery Ridge to Little Round Top, July 2, 1863
John Michael Priest $32.95 432 pages 6 x 9 26 b/w images and 58 maps June 2014 hardback 978-161121-176-4 eISBN: 978-1-61121-177-1 Stand to It and Give Them Hell chronicles the Gettysburg fighting from Cemetery Ridge to Little Round Top on July 2, 1863, through the letters, memoirs, diaries, and postwar recollections of the men from both armies who struggled to control that hallowed ground. John Michael Priest wrote this book to help readers understand and experience the stress and terror of that fateful day in Pennsylvania. Readers will gain a deeper appreciation of the personal sacrifice made that awful day by privates and generals alike. This invaluable method uses their own words to paint a rich tapestry of their personal courage and cowardice, and their failures and triumphs. Nearly 60 detailed maps illustrate the troop congestion in the Wheatfield, the Peach Orchard, and Devils Den. They establish the extent of the Federal skirmish line from Zieglers Grove to the Slyder farm and portray the final Confederate push against the Codori farm and the center of Cemetery Ridge. This is a book about combat as seen through the eyes of those who waged it. Stand to It and Give Them Hell offers the brutal, heartwrenching story of a slice of Americas greatest battle as described by those who marched, fought, bled, and died there.
The Lost Papers of Confederate General John Bell Hood

Stephen M. Hood $32.95 240 pages 6 x 9 35 b/w images June 2014 hardback 978-1-61121-182-5 eISBN: 978-1-61121-183-2 Scholars hail the find as the most important discovery in Civil War scholarship in the last half century. The invaluable cache of Confederate General John Bell Hoods personal papers includes wartime and postwar letters from comrades, subordinates, former enemies and friends, medical reports relating to Hoods two major wounds, and dozens of touching letters between Hood and his wife. This treasure trove of information is being made available for the first time for both professional and amateur Civil War historians. The historical community long believed General Hoods papers were lost or destroyed, and numerous books and articles were written about him without the benefit of these invaluable documents. In fact, the papers were carefully held for generations by a succession of Hoods descendants. This collection offers more than 200 documents. While each is a valuable piece of history, some shed light on the wars mysteries and controversies. For example, letters from multiple Confederate officers may explain the Confederate failure to capture or destroy Schofields Union army at Spring Hill, Tennessee, on the night of November 29, 1864. Lee also lodges serious allegations against Confederate Maj. Gen. William Bate. While these and others offer a military perspective of Hood the general, the revealing letters between he and his beloved and devoted wife help us better understand Hood the man and husband.

Spies, Scouts, and Secrets in the Gettysburg Campagin
How the Critical Role of Intelligence Impacted the Outcome of Lees Invasion of the North, June-July 1863
Thomas J. Ryan $32.95 432 pages 6 x 9 75 b/w images and 20 maps June 2014 hardback 978-161121-178-8 eISBN: 978-1-61121-179-5 As intelligence experts have long asserted, Information in regard to the enemy is the indispensable basis of all military plans. Despite the thousands of books and articles written about Gettysburg, Tom Ryans groundbreaking Spies, Scouts, and Secrets in the Gettysburg Campaign is the first to offer a unique and incisive comparative study of intelligence operations during what many consider the wars decisive campaign. Based upon years of indefatigable research, the author evaluates how Gen. Robert E. Lee used intelligence resources, including cavalry, civilians, newspapers, and spies to gather information about Union activities during his invasion of the North in June and July 1863, and how this information guided Lees decision-making. Simultaneously, Ryan explores the effectiveness of the Union Army of the Potomacs intelligence and counterintelligence operations. Both Maj. Gens. Joe Hooker and George G. Meade relied upon cavalry, the Signal Corps, and an intelligence staff known as the Bureau of Military Information that employed innovative concepts to gather, collate, and report vital information from a variety of sources. The result is an eye-opening, day-by-day analysis of how and why the respective army commanders implemented their strategy and tactics, with an evaluation of their respective performance as they engaged in a battle of wits to learn the enemys location, strength, and intentions.
By the Blood of Our Alumni

Norwich University Citizen Soldiers in the Army of the Potomac
Robert G. Poirier $18.95 472 pages 6 x 9 29 b/w images and 3 maps February 2014 paperback 978-161121-184-9 Norwich University, the nations oldest private military college, graduated hundreds of officers into the Federal armies who participated in the long and bloody war to crush the Southern Rebellion of 1861-1865. Robert Poiriers By the Blood of Our Alumni: Norwich University Citizen Soldiers in the Army of the Potomac is their story. It is difficult to overstate the schools influence on the war in the Eastern Theater. Norwich alumni were scattered throughout the armys hierarchy. In the Army of the Potomac alone, 1 graduate led a corps, 7 led divisions, 21 commanded brigades, and 38 stood at the heads of regiments. Scores more served in staff positions or in the ranks. These men were eyewitnesses to many of the wars watershed events. Norwich alumni served proudly in every battle of the Army of the Potomac. Unfortunately, historians have largely overlooked the important role Norwich played in both preparing our nation for conflict and in winning the Civil War. Robert G. Poirier, a retired intelligence officer, Norwich alumnus, and combat veteran, has spent years researching and writing By the Blood of Our Alumni. His book narrates the course of the war in the Eastern Theater by chronicling the experiences of these soldiers.
The Forgotten Defenders of the Alamo

The Irish of the Texas Revolution, 1835-1836
Phillip Thomas Tucker $32.95 384 pages 6 x 9 12 b/w images and 4 maps May 2014 hardback 978-1-61121191-7 eISBN: 978-1-61121-192-4 Within the annals of Alamo and Texas Revolutionary historiography, the important contributions of the Irish in winning the struggle against Mexico and establishing a new republic are noticeably absent. Breaking new ground with fresh views and original insights, Phillip Thomas Tuckers The Forgotten Defenders of the Alamo: The Irish of the Texas Revolution, 1835-1836, sets forth one of the best remaining untold stories of the Alamo and Texas Revolution by exploring a largely forgotten and long ignored history: the dramatic saga of the Irish in Texas. Dr. Tucker has thoroughly explored a hidden history long ignored by generations of historians. Relying upon a wealth of previously unexplored primary sources, The Forgotten Defenders of the Alamo is the first book devoted to the dramatic story of Irish achievements, contributions, and sacrifices in winning independence for Texas. In doing so, Tuckers study bestows much-needed recognition upon the Irish and shatters a host of long-existing stereotypes and myths about the Texas Revolution. Reflecting a distinctive cultural, political, and military heritage, the Irish possessed a lengthy and distinguished Emerald Isle revolutionary tradition reborn during the Texas uprising of 1835-1836. The Irish were the largest immigrant group in Texas at the time and among the most vocal and passionate of liberty-loving revolutionaries in all Texas.

Chris Mackowski $12.95 168 pages 6 x 9 150 b/w images and 4 maps April 2014 paperback 978-161121-185-6 eSIBN: 978-1-61121-186-3 Fort Sumter hunkered on the horizon like a low, squat line separating Charleston Harbor from the open ocean. The manmade fort sat poised on the border of more than South Carolina and the sea. Occupied in April 1861 by the United States government but under siege by secessionist storm clouds from across the South, it ran like a line between Federal authority and state control; between North and South; between peace and war. At 4:30 a.m. on April 12, 1861, Confederate batteries opened fire. Thirty-four hours later, Federal forces lowered their tattered flag. The only casualty came after the surrender. It was otherwise a bloodless first battle to the bloodiest four years in American history. But those fateful first shots of the Civil War marked only the first of many chapters for Sumter. Over the next four years, the fort and the harbor it protected weathered the storms of war. hunder in the Harbor recounts Fort Sumters storied history in the engaging prose that has become the hallmark of the Emerging Civil War Series. Author Chris Mackowski brings the story to life as only an insider can: his familys home sits on the Battery overlooking Charleston Harbor, where Fort Sumter still hunkers on the horizon.

Grant, unlike his predecessors, had not relented in his pounding of the Confederates. The armies clashed in the Wilderness and at Spotsylvania Courthouse and along the North Anna River. Casualties mounted on both sidesbut Grant kept coming. Although the great, decisive assault had eluded him, he continued to punish Lees army. The blows his army landed were nothing like the Confederates had experienced before. The constant marching and fighting had reduced Robert E. Lees oncevaunted army into a bedraggled husk of its former glory. Turning Lees flank once more, he hoped to fight the final battle of the war in the area bordering the Pamunkey and Chickahominy rivers. The stakes had grown enormous. Grants staggering casualty lists had driven Northern morale to his lowest point of the war. Would Lees men hold on to defend their besieged capitaland, in doing so, prolong the war until the North will collapsed entirely? Or would another round of hard fighting finally be enough to crush Lees army? Could Grant push through and end the war? Grant would find his answers around a small Virginia crossroads called Cold Harborand he would always regret the results.
The Aftermath of Battle

The Burial of the Civil War Dead
Kathleen Logothetis Thompson $12.95 168 pages 6 x 9 150 b/w images and 1 map May 2014 paperback 978-161121-189-4 eISBN: 978-1-61121-190-0 The clash of armies in the American Civil War left hundreds of thousands of men dead, wounded, or permanently damaged. Skirmishes and battles could result in casualty numbers as low as one or two and as high as tens of thousands. The carnage of the battlefield left a lasting impression on those who experienced or viewed it, but in most cases the armies quickly moved on to meet again at another time and place. When the dust settled and the living armies moved on, what happened to the dead left behind? Unlike battle narratives, The Aftermath of Battle: The Burial of the Civil War Dead picks up the story as the battle ends. The burial of the dead was an overwhelming experience for the armies or communities forced to clean up after the destruction of battle. In the short-term action, bodies were hastily buried to avoid the stench and the horrific health concerns of massive death; in the long-term, families struggled to reclaim loved ones and properly reinter them in established cemeteries. The Aftermath of Battle is part of the Emerging Civil War Series offering compelling, easy-toread overviews of some of the Civil Wars most important stories. The masterful storytelling is richly enhanced with hundreds of photos and illustrations.

Jay Wertz The second volume in the War Stories: World War II Firsthand series tackles the largest amphibious invasion ever attempted until that time the historic landing at Normandy on June 6, 1944. More than eighty veterans on both sides of the Atlantic Wall give their perspectives on the event, and the bloody two-month struggle which resulted in the Anglo-American allies wrestling France from the German defenders. Preparations for Operation Overlord, including air and sea operations to support the gargantuan landing are covered in vibrant, authentic detail. Rich with color images, famous photographs and original 3-D maps, the 9 x 12 volume also presents the timeline of events, places and personalities, giving a complete picture of the campaign across France. The volume won a Silver Medal in the 2012 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY) in the World History category and Best Book 2012 in the History: Military/Political category from USA Book News.

The Pacific, Volume Two

The Solomons to Saipan
Jay Wertz The third volume in the War Stories: World War II Firsthand series is anchored on the words and experiences of 100 Marines, soldiers, sailors, airmen and other frontline personnel who became embroiled in the devastating island campaign of the Pacific War. Never before or since was so much blood shed for so little real estate. The volume contains blow by blow descriptions of some of the most destructive naval and air battles of the war, as well as the blood and sand tales of Marines and GIs and their Japanese counterparts contesting inch by inch places with strange names such as Bougainville, Tarawa and Saipan. The real-life stories of those who were there are illustrated with revealing photographs; some never before seen in any WWII volume. The 9 x 12 volume also offers original maps, enlightening narrative sidebars and a complete timeline of the Pacific campaign 1942-1944.

Robert E. Lee at War

Tragic Successionist
Scott Bowden $60.00 208 pages 8.75 x 11 77 color and b/w images, 35 maps Now Available Military History Press hardback 978-09853572-2-1 Robert E. Lee at War presents a fresh and compelling portrait of the true warrior that is sure to illuminate his legacy for generations to come. By mining fresh sources, and in adhering to a rigorous historical methodology, Bowden's account of General Lee emerges to be as necessary as it is original. The story of Lee's decision-making is laid before the reader, and his relationship with his key lieutenants, along with the complicated and strained relationship with Confederate President Jefferson Davis, appears in fresh, new light. Never before addressed topics include a complete analysis of Lee's art of war. Also, and for the first time, Bowden explains in great detail Lee's ongoing efforts to craft and reorganize the army he inherited from Joe Johnston-a force unevenly led and inefficiently organized-into a modern and fierce fighting machine known as the Army of Northern Virginia.
A Box of Sand
The Italo-Ottoman War 19111912
Charles Stephenson $22.95 352 pages 6 x 9 b/w photos and maps May 2014 Tattered Flag paperback 978-0-9576892-2-0 In September 1911, Italy declared war on the Ottoman Empire. The Italian action began the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The day after Ottoman Turkey made peace with Italy in October 1912, the Balkan League attacked in the First Balkan War. The Italo-Ottoman War has so many firsts and pointers to the awful future: the first three-dimensional war with aerial reconnaissance and bombing; war fever whipped up by the Italian press; death from disease and 10,000 more from reprisals and executions. Thirty thousand men would die in a struggle for what may described as little more than a scatolone di sabbia a box of sand. As acclaimed historian Charles Stephenson portrays in this study, if there is an exemplar of the futility of war, this is it. Apart from the loss of life and the cost to Italy, the outcome was to halve the Libyan population through emigration, famine and casualties. The ItaloOttoman War was a conflict overshadowed by the Great War but one which in many ways presaged the horrors to come.
