A Question of Time

By James Stejskal The CIA's most valuable spy has been compromised.

Only an unconventional secret Army unit has any chance of safely extracting him from East Berlin.

The Cold War is about to turn hot.

Berlin, 1979. When the CIA’s most valuable spy is compromised, the Agency realises it does not have the capability to bring him to safety. If he cannot evade the dreaded East German security service, the result will be chaos and a cascade of failures throughout the Agency’s worldwide operations.

9781612009032 • Hardback • 229 x 152mm 304 pages • October 2020 • £16.99 EBOOK AVAILABLE

About the author: James Stejskal is an historian. To get background for his stories, he served 35 years with US Army Special Forces and the Central Intelligence Agency in many interesting places overseas. He is the author of the definitive and gripping history, Special Forces: Berlin Clandestine Cold War Operations of the US Army's Elite, 1956–1990 and Masters of Mayhem: Lawrence of Arabia and the British Military Mission to the Hejaz. He lives in northern Virginia. This is his first novel.

Master Sergeant Kim Becker lived through the hell of Vietnam as a member of the elite Studies and Operations Group. When he lost one of his best men in a pointless operation, he began to question his mission. Now, he is serving with an even more secretive Army Special Forces unit based in Berlin on the front line of the Cold War. The CIA turns to Becker’s team of unconventional warfare specialists to pull their bacon out of the fire.

Becker and his men must devise a plan to get him out by whatever means possible. It's a race against time to prepare and execute the plan while, alone in East Berlin, the agent must avoid his nemesis and play for time inside the hostile secret service headquarters he has betrayed. One question remains — is the man worth the risk?

Between Five Eyes Fifty Years Inside the Five Eyes Intelligence Community

By Anthony R. Wells Foreword by Admiral the Lord West of Spithead GCB DSC PC A detailed look at 50 years of change in UK–US intelligence, by the only living person to have worked for British Intelligence as a British citizen and US Intelligence as a US citizen.

"Few people are as uniquely well-equipped as Anthony Wells to write an account of these close and special relationships. His penetrating and informed analysis offers us all hope for the continuance of an alliance which makes the world a safer place.”

– Vice Admiral Sir Jeremy Blackham, Knight Commander of the Bath, editor, The Naval Review

UK–US intelligence and the wider Five Eyes community of Canada, Australia and New Zealand is primarily about one main thing, relationships. In this remarkable book, Anthony Wells charts fifty years of change, turmoil, intense challenges, successes and failures, and never-ending abiding UK–US and Five Eyes relationships. He traces the development of institutions that he firmly believes have sustained and indeed may have saved the free world, Western democracies and their allies from those ill disposed to the value system and culture of our nations.

More than a chronology of the UK–US intelligence community during this fifty-year period, it is also a personal insight into key relationships and the abiding strength of the United States and the United Kingdom and its Five Eyes allies, relationships. As a fully trained and accredited security officer for two US intelligence organisations, Anthony R. Wells has relied on his own extensive unclassified collection of papers, personal notes, diaries, as well as his family library for source material to create this book.

After the Wall Came Down The British Army and its Soldiers After the Cold War

By Andrew Richards A history of the British Army since the end of the Cold War, incorporating many firsthand accounts.

The generation of young men and women who joined the British Army during the mid to late 1980s would serve their country during an unprecedented period of history. Unlike the two world war generations, they would never face total war – there was never any declaration of war and there was no one single country to defeat. In fact, it was supposed to have been the end of a war, a time of peace and stability.

Politicians started to use the term, Peace Dividend, with government officials even planning on how and where it should be spent.

About the author: Andrew Richards served 22 years with the Household Cavalry. During his last years of service, he graduated from the Open University with a Bachelor of Arts degree with Honours in Humanities with History and Classical Studies. Since retiring from the Army, he has written both fiction and non-fiction titles. His first non-fiction book, The Flag, was published by Casemate in 2016. He lives in New York with his wife and children

But for those in the military, the two decades following the end of the Cold War would not be a time of peace. Government spending and the size of the military was reduced but the Army’s commitments increased exponentially. Those serving not only faced continuous deployment in overseas operations, they would also be involved in immense upheavals that took place within the army.

When the Berlin Wall came down, the British Army had not changed for decades. The ending of the Cold War, combined with a technological revolution, a changing society at home, and new global threats mean that the Army of the second decade of the 21st century – the army this generation of soldiers is now retiring from – is unrecognisable from the one they joined in the late 1980s. This is the story of the soldiers who served in the British Army in those tumultuous decades.

The Roman military machine was pre-eminent in the ancient world, projecting power across the known world over a vast chronology, and an increasing huge and diverse geography. One of the most powerful instruments of war in the history of conflict, it proved uniquely adept at learning from setbacks, always coming back the stronger for it. In so doing it displayed two of the most important traits associated with the world of Rome. Firstly grit, that key ability to remain steadfast and to overcome adversity, even in the most challenging of circumstances, as faced for example by the Republic in the Second Punic War against Hannibal. Secondly, the ability to copy the successful technical and tactical innovations of their enemies, enabling the Roman military to always stay one step ahead of its opponents on campaign and in battle.

In this grand tour covering every aspect of the Roman military, leading expert Dr Simon Elliott first provides a detailed background to the Roman Republic and Empire to provide context for all that follows. He then looks specifically at the Roman military in its three key chronological phases: the Republic, the Principate Empire and the Dominate Empire. Next he forensically examines specific examples of the Roman military on campaign and in battle, and of its engineering prowess.

Finally, he examines the many enemies faced by the Roman Republic and Empire. This all provides a firm structure to enable the reader to come to grips with this incredible military machine, one whose exploits still resonate in the world to this very day.

Medieval Military Combat Battle Tactics and Fighting Techniques of the Wars of the Roses

By Tom Lewis A concise and entertaining explanation of the battle techniques of the medieval period. It offers a clear analysis of the different types of soldier and shows how other accounts, and popular culture such as films, have mis-represented medieval warfare.

We don't know how medieval soldiers fought. Did they just walk forward in their armour, to smash each other with their maces and poleaxes, for hours on end, as depicted on film in programs such as Game of Thrones?

They could not have done so. It is impossible to fight in such a manner for more than several minutes as exhaustion becomes a preventative factor. Indeed, we know more of how the Roman and Greek armies fought than we do of the 1300 to 1550 period. So how did medieval soldiers in the Wars of the Roses, and in the infantry sections of battles such as Agincourt and Towton, carry out their grim work?

Medieval Military Combat shows, for the first time, the techniques of such battles. It also breaks new ground in establishing medieval battle numbers as highly exaggerated, and that we need to look again at the accounts of actions such as the famous battle of Towton, which this work uses as a basic for its overall study. This books shows for the first time the battle techniques of the medieval period and re-examines the sources for battle numbers.

It analyses the different types of soldier: bowmen, swordsmen, spearmen, and plated men-at-arms.

On Her Majesty's Nuclear Service

By Eric Thompson New in paperback edition of the first ever memoir by a Royal Navy nuclear submarine officer, this is the inside story of the men who ensured that 'Mutually Assured Destruction' was maintained at all times during the Cold War. In his journey, the author leads the reader through top-secret submarine patrols, hush-hush scientific trials, underwater weapon developments, public relations battles with nuclear protesters, arm-wrestling with politicians and the changing roles of females and homosexuals in the Navy. It is essentially a human story, rich in both drama and comedy, like the Russian spy trawler that played dance music at passing submarines. There was never a dull moment.

The Final Archives of the Führerbunker Berlin in 1945, the Chancellery and the last days of Hitler

By Paul Vallatoux and Xavier Aiolfi A unique snapshot not only into the last days of the Third Reich but also into Berlin following the end of World War II, including descriptions and diagrams of the bunker where Hitler oversaw the disintegration of his armies in April 1945, and an account of the last days there.

9781612009049 • Hardback 150 photographs • 228 x 152mm 144 pages • September 2020 • £29.99 EBOOK AVAILABLE

In November 1945, two French officers secretly entered the Führerbunker, the air raid shelter near the Chancellery in Berlin. The bunker was the last home of Adolf Hitler, the background of the last months of his life, and the war, where he married Eva Braun on April 29, 1945, and where he killed himself less than two days later. In the middle of a heap of furniture and broken objects, the two officers found hundreds of documents littering the ground.

Among the documents that they retrieved were a dozen telegrams of historic importance that allow us to understand the spirit of the last leaders of the Third Reich as well as the events that took place between April 23 and 26, 1945. These and other documents are gathered for the first time in this book, presented in their proper context and with an expert commentary.

The book includes photographs of the documents that survived the fires set in the bunker at the Chancellory in Berlin in April 1945, from the last orders sent out to drawings by Bormann's children.

Willy Messerschmitt and the Development of History's First Operational Jet Fighter

By James Neal Harvey The story of Willy Messerschmitt’s life, showing how this aeronautical genius built many revolutionary airplanes.

In July 1944 the Allies were stunned by the appearance of the Messerschmitt Me-262, the world’s first operational jet warplane. This new German fighter was more than 100mph faster than any other aircraft in the skies. Although always greatly outnumbered, the Me262 gained scores of victories over Allied fighters and bombers, and by the end of the war, many of the Luftwaffe’s greatest aces had clamoured to be in their cockpits. No wonder military leaders believed that if it had been introduced earlier, this jet could have changed the outcome of the war.

9781612008929 • Paperback b/w photographs • 228 x 152mm 408 pages • July 2020 • £18.99 EBOOK AVAILABLE

About the author : James Neal Harvey has been a pilot for more than 40 years and has owned a dozen aircraft (including a De Havilland Tiger Moth built for the RAF, a Stinson V-77 that flew in the Royal Navy, and a Messerschmitt Bf-108 that served in the Luftwaffe). Author of six previous books, his grasp of aero-dynamics informs the narrative, as he examines how Messerschmitt might well have changed the course of the Second World War.

Sharks of the Air tells the story of Willy Messerschmitt’s life, and shows how this aeronautical genius built many revolutionary airplanes – not excluding the Luftwaffe’s mainstay, the Me-109 – and culminating in the Me-262.

It describes how his various warplanes fought in Spain, Poland, France, Britain, the U.S.S.R., and over Germany, and it provides thrilling accounts of air battles drawn from combat reports and interviews with veterans.

This book also shows how Messerschmitt – like other geniuses such as Porsche, von Braun, and Speer – was affected by cutthroat Nazi politics, and describes his intense rivalries with other aircraft designers. It reveals aspects of his life never before made public, including his love affair with the beautiful Baroness Lilly MichelRolino, a rich aristocrat who left her husband to live with Willy. And finally it shows how in World War II Messerschmitt believed he was loyally supporting the Fatherland, until he realised too late that Hitler was a madman. Like many of the technical innovations of Nazi Germany in the war, production arrived too late in order to change the final outcome. If Messerschmitt had been given free rein from the start, however, Allied air superiority might never have occurred.

Widowmaker Living and Dying with the Corsair

By Tim Hillier-Graves Covers the development of the Corsair for the US Navy, why it was condemned for carrier use and how British pilots used it.

“Despite everything I felt very lucky to have flown Corsairs, they were the best you know, even though it took me sometime to realise this when so many friends died flying them.” – Colin Facer, Corsair pilot, HMS Illustrious

The Vought-Sikorsky Corsair was one of the most potent fighters of the World War II. It was also one of the most flawed. Conceived by Rex Beisel, Vought’s Chief Designer during 1938, the US Navy condemned it as being too dangerous for carrier operations and refused to certify it safe for use at sea. By the end of the war the Fleet Air Arm had acquired more than 2,000 Corsairs to equip its squadrons. But the risks identified by the USN were largely ignored by the Royal Navy and far too many men and aircraft were lost in accidents as a result. Yet in the hands of experienced carrier pilots its virtues were only too apparent and, in due course, they achieved great things. Eventually, the US Navy noted this 'success' and certified the Corsair for use on their carriers too, but the aircraft never entirely lost its reputation as a 'widow maker.'

As well as discussing the work and vision of chief designer, Rex Beisel, this book looks at how the determination of young pilots transformed the Corsair from an aircraft considered too dangerous to fly from carriers into a successful carrier fighter. This book describes the Corsair’s development and tells the sad, but inspiring story of the young men who struggled and suffered to make the Corsair a going concern in the most vicious unforgiving war one can imagine. To do this the author met and corresponded with ninety or more veterans from America, Britain, New Zealand and Canada. Their recollections made this book possible and through their vivid memories we can experience what it felt like to be barely of age, a civilian called to arms and a fighter pilot.

The Russian Civil War, 1918–1921 An Operational-Strategic Sketch of the Red Army's Combat Operations

Edited by A. S. Bubnov, S. S. Kamenev, M. N. Tukhachevskii and R. P. Eideman This edition translated and edited by Richard W. Harrison The first English translation of an official Soviet history of the Russian Civil War first published in the late 1920s, released to commemorate 100 years since the Civil War.

9781952715044 • Hardback • 48 maps 228 x 152mm • 552 pages • August 2020 £55.00 EBOOK AVAILABLE

About the author: Richard W. Harrison received his Ph.D. in War Studies from King's College London and later worked at the US embassy in Moscow. He has taught at the United States Military Academy West Point and other institutions. He is the author of a number of books and articles on the Red Army and has produced several translations of official Soviet military histories.

10

This work is the third volume of the three-volume Soviet official history of the Russian Civil War, which appeared during 1928–1930, just before the imposition of Stalinist orthodoxy. While the preceding volumes focused on the minutiae of the Red Army's organisational development and military art, this volume provides an in-depth description and analysis of the of the civil war's major operations along the numerous fronts, from the North Caucasus, the Don and Volga rivers, the White Sea area, the Baltic States and Ukraine, as well as Siberia and Poland. It also offers a well-argued case for the political reasons behind the Bolsheviks' military strategy and eventual success against their White opponents.

And while it is a certainly a partisan document with a definite political bias, it is at the same time a straightforward military history that manages to avoid many of the hoary myths that later came to dominate the subject. As such, it is easily the most objective account of the struggle to emerge from the Soviet Union before the collapse of the communist system in 1991.

How to Win a War Perspectives on Transforming Victory into Winning Through History

Edited by Matthias Strohn Using a series of historical case studies, experts explore what actually is winning in a military context.

9781952715006 • Hardback • 229 x 152mm 320 pages • November 2020 • £55.00

What does it mean to win a war? How does this differ from a simple military victory? How have different cultures and societies answered these questions through history, and how can we apply these lessons? When considering how a war might be 'won', there are three big ideas that underpin how success can be measured: ownership; intervention for effect; and fighting for ideas. This book examines the constituent parts of what may comprise ‘victory’ or ‘winning’ in war and then travels, chronologically, through a wide variety of historical case studies, further exploring these philosophical components and weaving them into a factual discussion.

Sturmgeschütz Brigade 236 An Assualt Gun Regiment Fighting to the End

By Tino Von Struckmann A day-by-day account of life on the Eastern Front in the last months of the war for an assault gun brigade.

The assault gun played an important role during World War II, with assault gun units significantly increasing the combat effectiveness of infantry units. The SturmgeschützBrigade 236 was only in existence for the last two years of war, but proved itself a small, professional, determined and well-led unit. Researched with the help of the museum for the Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 236, this book retells the story of the unit through the translated war diary for the unit, complemented by the personal letters and diaries of the men of the unit, including material from both German and Czech archives. It is a unique insight into the story of these professional soldiers and their daily lives on the front in the last months of the war.

British Fighter Aircraft in World War I Design, Construction and Innovation

By Mark C. Wilkins Fully illustrated account of how British aircraft manufacturers vied to create the best fighter to counter German technology during World War I. World War I witnessed unprecedented growth and innovation in aircraft design, construction, and as the war progressed – mass production. Developments in tactics and deployment also influenced design — from the early reconnaissance planes, to turn fighters, finally planes that relied upon formation tactics, speed, and firepower. Advances were so great that the post-war industry seemed bland by comparison.

Bagration The Soviet Destruction of German Army Group Centre 1944

By Ian Baxter Bagration is still relatively unknown but it was crucial and one of the deadliest battles of WW2 with nearly half a million killed.

The story of the destruction of Army Group Center during the summer of 1944 has been completely overshadowed by the D-Day campaign in Normandy three weeks earlier. Yet, the battle in which the German forces endured on the Eastern Front that fateful summer was more catastrophic than that experienced by the Allies on the Western Front. This book reveals the lesserknown battle in the East and shows how the German forces fought and lost against overwhelming odds. This illustrated account is packed with rare and previously unpublished photographs.

WORLD WAR II REGIMENTAL

Air War on the Eastern Front

By Mike Guardia A lavishly illustrated account of the entire air campaign on the Eastern Front in World War II. June 1941: Having conquered most of Western Europe, Adolf Hitler turned his attention to the vast Soviet Union. In the skies over Russia, the battle-hardened airmen of the Luftwaffe made short work of the Red Air Force during opening days of Barbarossa. To make matters worse, Stalin had executed many of his best pilots during the perennial ‘purges’ of the 1930s. Thus, much of the Red Air Force was destroyed on the ground before meeting the Luftwaffe in the skies.

By 1944, however, the Soviet airmen had regained the initiative and fervently wrested air superiority from the now-ailing Axis Powers.

Narvik

By Alex Buchner and translated by Janice Ancker The first English translation of this German account of the battle of Narvik, the invasion of Norway in 1940.

Published for the first time in English, this book focuses on the efforts of Group '1' led by Eduard Dietl. This group of gebirgstruppen was landed at Narvik in early April by ten destroyers. These ships were then all sunk by the Allies.

Dietl’s troops were outnumbered by Allied troops but his defence utilised ammunition, food and sailors from the sunken ships and his men retook Narvik once the Allies abandoned their efforts to push the Germans out of Norway. Dietl was known as the "Hero of Narvik" due to his leadership during this campaign.

At the launch of Operation Barbarossa, Army Group North was tasked with the operational objective of Leningrad— what lay between it and the city was 800 kilometers of the Baltic states, and 18–20 infantry divisions, two cavalry divisions, and eight or nine mechanised brigades of the Red Army. It was apparent that in order to succeed they would have to race through to the western Dvina and establish a bridgehead before the Russians exploited this natural feature to organise a defensive front. Panzer Group 4, which included LVI Panzer Corps and XLI Panzer Corps, was to lead the way. By the end of the first day the group had pushed 70 kilometers into enemy territory.

DIE WEHRMACHT IM KAMPF

The city of Vitebsk in modern day Belarus was of strategic importance during the fighting on the Eastern Front, as it controlled the route to Minsk. A salient in the German lines, Vitebsk had been declared a Festerplatz—a fortress town—meaning that it must be held at all costs. A task handed to 3rd Panzer Army in 1943.

Otto Heidkämper was chief of staff of Georg-Hans Reinhardt’s 3rd Panzer Army, Army Group Center, which was stationed around Vitebsk and Smolensk from early 1942 until June 1944. His detailed account of the defense of Vitebsk through the winter of 1943 into 1944, right up to the Soviet summer offensive, is a valuable firsthand account of how the operations around Vitebsk played out. Twenty maps accompany the narrative. During this time, 3rd Panzer Army undertook numerous military operations to defend the area against the Soviets; they also engaged in anti-partisan operations in the area, deporting civilians accused of supporting partisans and destroying property.

Finally, in June 1944, the Soviets amassed four armies to take Vitebsk, which was then held by 38,000 men of 53rd Corps. Within three days, Vitebsk was encircled, with 53rd Corps trapped inside.

Attempts to break the encirclement failed, and resistance in the pocket broke down over the next few days. On June 27, the final destruction of German resistance in Vitebsk was completed.

Twenty thousand Germans were dead and another 10,000 had been captured.

Japan Runs Wild, 1942–1943

By Peter Harmsen The transformation that took place from 1942 to 1943, setting the Allies on a path to final victory against Japan.

The War in the Far East trilogy offers a comprehensive view of WWII in the Asia Pacific, with due emphasis on the central Japanese–American struggle, but also examining the role of the other nations engulfed in the vast showdown. In early 1942, the Japanese Army and Navy were advancing on all fronts, humiliating their US, British and Dutch foes throughout the Asia Pacific. In a matter of just months, the soldiers and sailors of the Rising Sun conquered an area bigger than Hitler’s empire at its largest extent. By the end of 1943, the tables had been turned entirely and the Japanese were fighting a defensive battle along a frontline that crossed thousands of miles. This second instalment in the trilogy details this astonishing transformation.

The story of how America and Japan, two nations with seemingly little over which to quarrel, let peace slip away, so that on that 'day which will live in infamy', more than 350 dive bombers, high-level bombers, torpedo planes, and fighters of the Imperial Japanese Navy did their best to cripple the United States Navy's Pacific Fleet, killing 2,403 American servicemen and civilians, and wounding another 1,178. This book offers more than superficial answers, showing how both sides blundered their way through arrogance, over-confidence, racism, bigotry, and old-fashioned human error to arrive at the moment when the Japanese were convinced that there was no alternative to war. Pearl looks at how neither side had a monopoly on heroism, courage, cowardice, or luck, as they fought to protect their nations.

Portugal's Bush War in Mozambique

By Al J. Venter A new account of how Portugal fought a bush war in Mozambique for over a decade.

Portugal was ranged against formidable odds and in the end was unable to muster the resources required to effectively take on the might of the Soviet Union and its collaborators – every single communist country on the planet and almost all of Black Africa. Yet, Al Venter argues, Portugal did not actually lose the war, and indeed fought in difficult terrain with a good degree of success over an extended period. It was radical domestic politics that heralded the end. Mozambique is once again embroiled in a guerrilla war, this time against a large force of Islamic militants, many from Somalia and some Arab countries, and unequivocally backed by Islamic State and the lessons of Mozambique’s bush war are still relevant today.

Apart from flying Alouette helicopter gunships in Angola, he has fought in the Balkan War (for Islamic forces), flown Mi-8s for Executive Outcomes, and thereafter an Mi-8 fondly dubbed 'Bokkie' for Colonel Tim Spicer in Sierra Leone.

For the past two years, as a “civilian contractor,” Ellis has been flying helicopter support missions in Afghanistan, where, he reckons, he has had more close shaves than in his entire previous four-decade career. He was also the first mercenary to work hand-in-glove with British ground and air assets in a modern guerrilla war.

This fascinating book describes how the Swedes first arrived in continental Europe during the 30 Years War, under their king Gustavus Adolfus. The Swedes proved more innovative in battle than their opponents, using the new arm of artillery plus tactical formations to establish supremacy on the battlefield. 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. Successor Charles XII renewed Swedish aggression as he found that no army on the Continent could stand against his legions from the north.

By Charles P. Poland Jr. A biography of John Brown, examining his failed raid on Harpers Ferry, and the part his actions played in causing the Civil War. Brown’s use of violence was to strike terror in the heart of slave owners, terror that he hoped would intimidate them to free their slaves to ensure their families’ safety.

The modern view of Brown has unintentionally made him a 'good terrorist', a man who gave his life attempting to terminate the evil institution of human bondage. This new biography covers Brown's background and the context to his decision to carry out the raid, a detailed narrative of the raid and its consequences for both those involved and America; and an exploration of the changing characterisation of Brown since his death.

In 1980, the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was seized and the American citizens there taken hostage. The Joint Chiefs of Staff examined its inventory of capabilities and concluded it had in reality, no capabilities other than nuclear weapons or mass conventional forces—neither of which were rational outcomes. Any capability tailored for this form of conflict would have to be built from scratch. Keith Nightingale, then a junior officer, was Deputy Operations Officer of Joint Task Force Eagle Claw, commanded by Major General James Vaught, which attempted to do just that. This is his personal, unique account of the events leading to the rescue attempt, and how its failure directly led to the creation of the Special Operations competency that the United States enjoys today.

9781925984705 • Paperback 229 x 152mm • 320 pages September 2020 • £30.00

The 20th-century anatomists Grafton Elliot Smith, Frederic Wood Jones and Arthur Keith travelled the globe collecting, cataloguing and constructing morphologies of the biological world with the aim of weaving these into a new vision of bio-ecology that links humans to their deep past as well as their evolutionary niche. Their version of human development and history profoundly influenced public opinion as they wrote prolifically for the press, they published bestsellers on human origins and evolution, and they spoke eloquently at public meetings and on the radio.

By changing popular views of race and environment, they moulded attitudes as to what it meant to be human in a post-Darwinian world – thus providing a potent critique of racism.

HISTORY OF SCIENCE

Four Weeks One Summer When It All Went Wrong

By Nicholas Whitlam Looks at this four-week tipping point in pre-WWII European history.

In the summer of 1936 it all went wrong – for democracy and for Spain, even for the British royals. Politicians failed, and Hitler was emboldened to plan a new European war, and more. When some army generals sought to overthrow Spain’s elected government, Francisco Franco quickly emerged as their leader; Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy supported him with men and materiel; pusillanimous politicians in Britain and the United States, even in France, turned a blind-eye – and the Spanish Civil War was on. It was an incongruous, at times brilliant, juxtaposition of events.

The Road to Singapore The Myth of British Betrayal

By Augustine Meaher Dismantles the myth of the British betrayal that exposed Australia to Japanese invasion in 1942.

Generations of Australians have been reared on the belief the fall of Singapore in February 1942 was a British betrayal that exposed Australia to Japanese invasion. In The Road to Singapore a young American historian, using archival records from across the globe, exposes the notion of a British betrayal as nothing more than a myth. British authorities never gave Australia an iron-clad guarantee against enemy attack and invasion and always stressed the need for Australians to take responsibility for home defence.

It is the stage of ritual, procession and protest and the site of proud architecture, fine trees and public utilities.

After the 1838 Lower Canada rebellion, 58 French Canadians were convicted of treason, sentenced to death, and later transported to life at hard labour in New South Wales. From the day they left Quebec, until the last man returned home in 1848 their activities were closely observed in journals, diaries and newspapers, and it seems they were viewed with wariness and fascination and treated with leniency. With a sympathetic handling of their petitions by the Governor, they only served two years before parole was granted and they were pardoned.

A John Bull figure, full of bumptious ambition and self-confidence, ‘Tommy’ Townshend spent most of his working life in parliamentary opposition. He sympathised with the American colonists while holding true to British interests, and was made a peer in 1783 for his key role in settling the peace between Americans and Britons.

If George Orwell Were Alive Today… on Nineteen Eighty-four and the thrust of Orwellian political satire

By John Dale More than any other 20th century writer, George Orwell responded to a period of historical change by imagining his dystopian ‘1984’.

Great writers engage with the changing times and by using their imaginations transform their ideas and environments into fiction. George Orwell responded to a period of historical change by imagining his dystopian future in perhaps the most influential political novel ever written. At the same time Nineteen Eighty-Four was very much a product of post-war England with its rations and shortages.

Orwell, in fact, remained a socialist until his death in January 1950, but the far more intriguing question is what Nineteen Eighty-Four would be like if it were written today, in an age of Islamist terror, fake news and post-truth politics.

In 1797 the British government pressed a small group of French and German prisoners of war into the New South Wales Corps, gave them firearms and placed them as guards on a ship carrying sixty-six convict women and two convict men to New South Wales. The result was a mutiny some months into the voyage in which the captain of the Lady Shore was killed and the fates of all of those on board were tied together when the ship was taken to South America.

Colnett served under James Cook during Cook's second voyage of exploration and later became a pioneer in the Pacific sea otter trade, nearly starting a war with Spain in the process. He attempted to force Japan and Korea to admit British trade, and failing that smuggled pelts into China. He conducted a whaling reconnaissance to the Galapagos Islands and transported convicts to New South Wales. One way or another, James Colnett managed to intersperse fighting his country’s enemies in the American and French wars with thirteen years plying the South Seas.

Matthew Flinders & George Bass 'A Passion for Exploring New Countries'

By Josephine Bastian A compelling original account of Southern Seas adventuring and Imperial maritime history at its most extraordinary.

Matthew Flinders charted and named Australia. George Bass, naturalist and businessman, gave his name to the Strait that divides Tasmania from the mainland. They were ready for even greater ventures. And then it was all over.

Bass had set out on a voyage he would never finish – his life ended when he was just 32. Flinders was thrust into prison as a spy and detained for nearly 7 years. This book is historically rigorous, yet its protagonists' fascinating and contrasting characters, the powerful background of the Napoleonic War, and the extraordinary events of their lives make it as gripping as any novel.

By Myra Scott In 1901, Australia gave women the vote and the right to sit in parliament. With great vigour, many Australian women then ably involved themselves with the women’s movement in Great Britain.

Soon after its foundation in 1901, the Commonwealth of Australia gave women the vote and the right to sit in parliament. Women’s suffrage was a major aspect of the new nation’s progressive and international thinking. With great vigour, Australian women, including the Melbourne-born artist Dora Meeson Coates, ably involved themselves with the women’s movement in Great Britain. And with astounding presumption, the Australian parliament sent a Resolution to its lofty Westminster counterpart recommending that women’s suffrage be adopted.

His story is also of a family and his inauspicious beginnings in a working-class district of Melbourne, his education in the 1930s and 1940s, war service in New Guinea and early interest in political thought. He writes of his beloved wife Norma and their growing family against a background of sweeping change in 20th century Australia.

Women in Boots Football and Feminism in the 1970s

By Marion Stell and Heather Reid The football field was an arena of protest and empowerment for the women’s liberation movement of the 1970s. Here the authors uncover stories from the Australian and New Zealand national players in this male-dominated world.

In the 1970s the focus of the women’s liberation movement was fought in the streets, in universities, in workplaces and in the home. This book never shies away from the uncomfortable aspects of their journeys, uncovering stories of vulnerability and strength, sexual harassment as well as sexual awakening, personal vilification as well as celebration, giving voice to a silencing in sport.

This enlivened account is told with honesty, pain and humour.

Madness and the Military Australia’s Experience of Shell Shock in the Great War

By Michael Tyquin Revised edition looking at what happened to soldiers who suffered psychologically in the First World War. Madness and the Military compellingly revisits this long-ignored aspect of Australian military history and suggests a link with so-called shell shock and moral injury. Hailed by experts as both compassionate and instrumental in opening a whole new field of Australian history, it tries to make sense of that forgotten generation of war veterans. It also effectively challenges a number of long-cherished myths surrounding both the commemoration of that war and the treatment of wartime psychological casualties.

First Know Your Enemy Comprehending Imperial German War Aims & Deciphering the Enigma of Kultur

By John A. Moses and with Peter Overlack An analysis of Prussian militarism as causes of WWI where the author purposefully seeks to expose the fallacy of seeing the past in terms that reflect some present-day agenda.

John Moses was trained at the Universities of Munich and Erlangen by professors committed to the Rankean tradition of showing ‘how it actually was', as far as humanly possible, based on diligent archival research and with the strictest objectivity and emotional detachment. Moses and Overlack have been at pains to identify the essential peculiarity of the Kaiser's Germany and have focused sharply on the question of how its war planning impinged on Australasia.

Here an ex-soldier, Pat Beale DSO MC, uses his military background to help rediscover why and how the Australian Corps in France was so successful and also the reasons their triumph has been ignored. The author hopes it will encourage a better understanding of the great victory of those men and how they achieved it.

Anzac The Landing, The Legend, The Law

By Catherine Bond The word ‘Anzac’ has been the subject of a century of legal regulation in Australia and internationally. Catherine Bond interrogates the legal history of one of Australia and New Zealand’s most revered words and the restrictions on the acronym that still exist today.

This book examines how, in 1916, control of ‘Anzac’ was introduced initially for businesses then extended, without precedent, to more private spheres, including prohibiting the use of the word as the name of a home. It documents the effect that these laws had on the Australian home front and the devastating impact on soldiers and families. Yet, such use and regulation was not limited to Australia, with New Zealand, United Kingdom and United States authorities.

Nazi Dreamtime Australian Enthusiasts for Hitler’s Germany

By David Bird The story of the extreme-righted ultra-nationalism in Australia before and during the World War II, focussing on native-born Australians who were attracted to the ideology of Nazism.

The appeal of Nazism was marked in the immediate post-Depression years amongst those Australians who rejected democracy but were uncomfortable with alternatives on the conservative Right and on the Left. Their belief was that the achievements and tenets of the Nazi regime were applicable to Australian political and cultural life to some extent. The aggressive foreign policy followed

by Berlin in the late thirties failed to shake the faith of these ideologues and even the duress of war would not dislodge the faith of some in Hitlerism.

Fighting Monsters An Intimate History of the Sandakan Tragedy

By Richard Wallace Braithwaite Only 6 escapees survived the Sandakan death marches in 1945. This is the story of one of them.

Only six escapees survived the Sandakan death marches of 1945 in North Borneo, the worst atrocity ever inflicted on Australian soldiers. 1787 Australian and 641 British POWs perished. An unusual and extreme POW story, the Sandakan tragedy had four stages: active resistance in 1942-3, stubborn endurance in 1943– 4, the collapse of civilized existence in 1945 and, finally, the post-war decades of torment for the six damaged survivors, the gradual assimilation of the story, the healing of the damage and the commemoration of the tragedy by the families and communities involved.

Guy Gaunt The Boy from Ballarat Who Talked America into the Great War

By Anthony Delano A true WWI secret service tale – Guy Gaunt’s infiltration of America’s leadership changed the course of history.

Guy Gaunt built a career and notoriety by playing outside the rules. When the Great War began he was the British naval attaché in Washington, beached for recklessness at sea. Taking over a network of disaffected immigrants he thwarted all efforts by the powerful German-American establishment in the United States to stop America from supporting the Allies. The exposure of a sinister German underground showed President Woodrow Wilson that America could not remain neutral. The Foreign Office never forgave him for outclassing its fledgling Secret Service.

The Empire Strikes South Japan’s Air War Against Northern Australia 1942-45 (Second Edition)

By Tom Lewis Between 1942 and 1945 the Japanese waged a relentless air war against the vast expanses of Northern Australia.

For more than two years in WW2 Japanese aircraft crossed the north coast of Australia and bombed relentlessly. Savage dogfights were fought between the legendary Zero fighter and Allied Kittyhawks and Spitfires. Big twin-engine Betty bombers rained down blast and fire upon airfields and towns. The Empire Strikes South describes all of the aircraft used and gives an insight into the world of fighter pilots and aircrew. With a full range of new colour graphics by renowned illustrator Michael Claringbould, this significant new research reveals a battle for Australia that has been previously unknown.

Operation I-Go Yamamoto’s Last Offensive: New Guinea and the Solomons April 1943

By Michael Claringbould Operation I-Go was Admiral Yamamoto’s last offensive, using a powerful assembly of aircraft that threatened to overwhelm Allied defences in four key South Pacific locations in April 1943.

In early 1943 Japanese forces in the South Pacific had suffered three key strategic setbacks at Guadalcanal, Kokoda and the Battle of the Bismarck Sea. However Japanese strength in the theatre was far from spent, and the commander of the IJN Combined Fleet Admiral Yamamoto sensed an opportunity. Operation I-Go would be the largest IJN air operation ever launched in the region and the results were surprising.

The JNAF first appeared in the South Pacific in December 1941 and was at the vanguard of offensive efforts during the course of 1942. Following the bloody Guadalcanal campaign, the JNAF fought a largely defensive war in New Guinea and the Solomons against increasingly powerful Allied forces. Perhaps surprisingly, right through to the end of 1943 the JNAF offered significant resistance to the Allies and never ceded air superiority in the vicinity of its key base of Rabaul.

Storming the Wheatfield John Caldwell's Union Division in the Gettysburg Campaign

By James M. Smith, Chris Bagley and Phil Laino This gripping narrative is an in-depth study of the valiant men of General John Caldwell’s Union Division during the Gettysburg Campaign.

Gettysburg Publishing 9780999304938 • Paperback 62 illustrations • 229 x 152mm 208 pages • October 2019

Caldwell’s Division made a desperate stand against a tough and determined Confederate force in farmer George Rose's nearly 20-acre Wheatfield. Ready for harvest, the infamous Wheatfield would change hands nearly six times in the span of two hours of fighting, becoming a trampled, bloody, no-man's land for thousands of wounded soldiers.

Smith examines the lives of the Union soldiers in the ranks— as well as leaders Cross, Kelly, Zook, Brooke, and Caldwell himself. James Smith’s Storming the Wheatfield goes deep into the lives the soldiers, evoking a personal connection with the troops. He painstakingly contacted nearly one hundred descendants of Caldwell's soldiers, producing one of the most extensively researched narratives to date.

Also Available:

As America's expeditionary force-in-readiness, the US Marine Corps operates an eclectic mix of fixedwing, rotary-wing, tiltrotor and unmanned aircraft to support the marine rifleman on the ground. The first two decades of the 21st century have seen an almost complete transformation of the marine air wings, as Cold War-era legacy aircraft yield to digital-age replacements. In Harpia's first book dedicated to a North American air arm, Joe Copalman explains the significance of each aircraft transition in the Marine Corps over the previous 20 years - community by community - on the Marine Air-Ground Task Force and its ability to conduct amphibious and expeditionary warfare.

While some of these transitions, like that of the KC-130T to KC-130J and AH-1W to AH-1Z, have been incremental, evolutionary steps up, others like the tandem-rotor CH-46 Sea Knight to the tiltrotor MV-22 Osprey and the introduction of the F-35 Lightning II to replace all three of the Marine Corps' tactical jets have revolutionised the way the service fights. In addition to introducing newer, vastly more capable and connected aircraft into its air wings, the Marine Corps has also invested heavily in keeping its remaining legacy fleets at the cutting edge of lethality and survivability throughout the final days of each type's service.

Utilising a before-and-after approach, Copalman guides the reader through every transition in Modern USMC Air Power, examining what each legacy aircraft brought to the fight, and how the service's newer platforms have improved upon those capabilities, especially when aided by new constructs like precisionguided ordnance and digital interoperability.

Wars & Soldiers in the Early Reign of Louis XIV Volume 4 The Armies of Spain and Portugal, 1660-1687

By Bruno Mugnai The story, organisation, uniforms and equipment of the Spanish and Portuguese armies in the period 1660-1687.

It has been a commonly held historical belief that in the second half of the 17th century, the Spanish army suffered such catastrophic defeats that it effectively brought about the collapse of the state as a major player on the European stage. Spain’s ability to fend off Louis XIV’s assault was not eased by the fact that, at the same time, Spain had faced the Portuguese in the Iberian Peninsula, the English in the Caribbean, the Algerians in Melilla, as well as further insidious French assault in southern Italy and in the colonies.

The Armies and Wars of the Sun King 1643-1715 Volume 4 The War of the Spanish Succession, Artillery, Engineers and Militias

By Rene Chartrand A new and updated vision of the War of Spanish Succession largely won by the Sun King’s armies.

The War of Spanish Succession was the largest and most difficult conflict in Europe since the Thirty Years War and unsurpassed until the Napoleonic Wars. This study discusses the economic and the serious climactic effects notably brought about by the awful winter of 1708-1709 in France that was also severe in other countries.

The last section will be a look at the social life of soldiers, their “families” and camp followers.

The New Knights The Development of Cavalry in Western Europe, 1562-1700

By Frederic Chauvire Analyses the upheavals which occurred in the charge of cavalry, from a tactical, socio-cultural and anthropological point of view.

This work focuses on the analysis of what constitutes the privileged combat action of heavy cavalry: the charge. This study is centred on France but is open to the whole of Europe, exploring the battlefields that dot this geographical area from the Wars of Religion to the War of the Spanish Succession. To embrace such a complex object of history, such an analysis must seek to cross tactical, socio-cultural and anthropological perspectives. It must take an interest in the institutional and technical environment, in the actors, but above all in the principles which found this singular warrior practice, in his doctrine of use.

Sieges in the Severn Valley during the English Civil War

By Richard Israel Examines through historical and archaeological research the sieges of Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury.

The battlefields of Edgehill, Newbury and Marston Moor are superlatives with the middle of the 17th-century conflict known as the English Civil War, and whilst their importance to the conflict is undeniable, they detract from the power struggle that occurred between the Royalists and Parliamentarians in the towns and cities throughout the land. This power struggle culminated in the construction of siege batteries and fortifications. This book demonstrates how siege techniques and this style of warfare impacted on the outcome of the conflict that set brother against brother and father against son.

The Armies of Sir Ralph Hopton The Royalist Armies of the West 1642-46

By Laurence Spring By using contemporary sources this book not only looks at the armies of Sir Ralph Hopton from 1642 to 1646, but also the raising and equipping his men and the campaigns they served in.

Nothing sums up the tragedy of the English Civil War more than the friendship between Sir Ralph Hopton and the parliamentarian general Sir William Waller as “this war without an enemy.” Chapters include recruitment, clothing, equipping and training of Hopton’s armies as well as his campaigns, including those of Prince Maurice, Sir Richard Grenville and George Lord Goring. It also looks at the divisions within the royalist high command which ultimately lost King Charles the war. It also looks at what happened to these soldiers once the fighting was over.

Carl Gustav Armfelt and the Struggle for Finland During the Great Northern War

By Eirik Hornborg and Eric Faithfull A comprehensive account of the military career of one of the great and tragic figures from the final death throes of the Swedish empire.

This book draws on much primary source material to describe General Carl Gustav Armfelt’s military career. He was already an experienced soldier at the outbreak of the war having spent 11 years in the army of Louis XIV. The book describes his role in opposing the relentless march of the Russian forces in rolling back the eastern frontier of the Swedish empire from his Ingrian homeland through Finland and into Sweden itself. It concludes with the ill-fated Trondheim campaign during the empire’s final death throes and Armfelt’s final years in Finland after the war.

Armies of the Italian States During the War of the Spanish Succession

By Ciro Paoletti The second book ever made on this subject in the last century, and the first in English; both by the same author.

The War of Spanish Succession is well known in English concerning Flanders and Germany, not that much concerning Spain, not at all about Italy. The Italian front was so important that the French considered it as important as the German one, and committed there their best generals. It was considered so important in Vienna that the Emperor sent there his best general. Last, it was the front where all the French hopes to submit Europe died in Turin in 1706 after the first dramatic wound they suffered in Blenheim in 1704.

Guns, Gold and Slaves The Ashanti Gunmen

By Paul Brinkley Looks at Gold Coast history primarily from the African view.

Perhaps unsurprisingly in Europe the tide of books, save for academic materials, has never primarily focussed upon the voices of Africans. Such new literature as there is usually approaches the matter from Black New World modern perspectives, not objective assessments including contemporary Old World African perspectives.

Old Africa was neither all victim nor all innocent. West Africa’s history was complex.

That was never truer than in the case of the Asante, the Land of Gilded Emperors and gun toting hordes who achieved greater victories against Britain, and for longer, than other African Kingdoms like the Zulus and the Afrikaners.

Eagles over the Alps Suvorov in Italy and Switzerland, 1799

By Christopher Duffy A superbly researched and detailed narrative of the Russian campaign in the Alps against the armies of Revolutionary France.

1799 – Russia's greatest soldier was at war in Italy and Switzerland. Led by Suvorov, believed by many to be the equal of Napoleon, the Russian and Austrian troops claimed one victory after another against the French. Much more than strategy and tactics, this a story of adventure as a Russian army fights desperate rearguard actions, and tries to escape through cruel mountain passes in the night. Suvorov's memory is still treasured in the Russian armed forces today.

Suvorov's marches and battles can be traced on the many maps, photographs, and original artwork recreates the appearance of the troops.

The Battle of the Chesapeake 1781 The Royal Navy and the Battle that Lost America

By Quintin Barry An account of the crucial battle of Chesapeake Bay in 1781, and the events leading up to it.

This book describes how, step by step, the crisis was reached. After France had accepted the need for a major effort to support the Americans, Count de Grasse arrived in the West Indies in April 1781 with a large fleet, intending to arrive off the North American coast in July. The battle that followed was indecisive, though the French had the best of it. Cornwallis was now besieged at Yorktown by Washington; a force intended to relieve him arrived too late and he surrendered at Yorktown. The war for American independence was decisively lost; all that remained was a bitter debate as to who was to blame.

The Sieges of the '45 Siege Warfare during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-1746

By Jonathan D. Oates A study of the sieges of eight fortresses in Scotland and England during the Jacobite rebellion of 1745-1746.

There were more sieges than there were battles during the Jacobite campaign in Scotland and England in 1745-1746, yet no one work has concentrated on these episodes. Siege warfare was more common than set piece battles in Europe at this time and the ‘45 was no exception. This book examines the eight places which were under siege, examining the history and strength of the fortress or walled town, its garrison and the strength of the attackers, along with the artillery employed by both sides. It narrates each siege, using manuscript and published contemporary sources in order to do so.

This is a comprehensive and detailed history of the Légion de Damas which provides a case study of the French military emigration and thus an alternative view point of the Revolution that caused it and the wars that followed. By drawing in particular on memoirs of members of the unit and contemporary material in archives across Europe, from Britain to Russia, the story is told of those who remained steadfast to God and their King.

This is the first detailed study of two small but important actions of the Peninsular War. Rowland Hill was one of the Duke of Wellington’s most trusted subordinates, known for caring deeply for the welfare of his men. The author gives a greater focus on the individual regiments and the men who served in them than is often the case with larger battles. He uses memoirs, previously unpublished letters, and official returns and reports to paint a very detailed picture of two small but important battles of the Peninsular War and the men that fought them.

Although successful, the conclusion of the war was much less glorious than the biographies of the Duke of Wellington care to admit. Few conflicts from this time convey in such detail the challenges faced by field commanders conducting operations in India and fewer books continue the story of the Second Maratha War to its ultimate conclusion in the Punjab where the last Maratha prince surrendered, this after the British ‘siege lords’ under General Lake had been humbled before the mighty mud walls of the impregnable fortress of Bharatpur.

The Sea Is My Element The Eventful life of Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm, 1766-1838

By Paul Martinovich The Life of a naval officer seen through his personal letters,and exploring the naval and social history of the late Georgian era.

This biography is based in large part on Malcolm’s personal letters to members of his family, particularly to his wife Clementina. The several hundred letters reveal a man who was at once a humane commander, a brilliant seaman, a convivial friend, and a loving husband. While the book offers a portrait of a man devoted to his service, the letters range over far more than naval activity, illuminating an eventful life in a turbulent age. Thus Malcolm’s story demonstrates not only the growing professionalism of the Royal Navy, but also the social and economic pressures changing British society.

A Study in Leadership Field Marshal Cavan – The Reluctant Chief, 1865-1946

By Simon Doughty Examines the life of a regimental soldier who lacked personal ambition and yet became the professional head of the Army 100 years ago.

Rudolph Lambart, 10th Earl of Cavan was a leader who believed in order, discipline, and the importance of communicating clearly; the perfect Guardsman. He was well-read, learnt languages wherever he went, was charming and showed style, as demonstrated by the occasion when his ‘cigar saved the situation’ in November 1914. He served throughout the war, becoming a Field Marshal. Then, at the beginning of another war, at the age of 75, he was taking up his spade to dig trenches to defend the approaches to Ayot St Lawrence from the invader.

By R.M. Langham Looks in detail at the conception, prototype construction, manufacturing process and operational service history of the Medium Mark A ‘Whippet’ Tank in great detail for the first time.

The idea for a smaller, faster, more manoeuvrable type of tank was thought up

by Sir William Tritton as early as September 1916. Emerging as a prototype in 1917, 200 of the tanks were initially ordered and the Army had high hopes for this fast tank, to act as a form of armoured cavalry, soon nicknamed the ‘Whippet’. Many original documents combined with Tank Corps histories have been examined and used to compile a narrative charting the development of this pioneering early tank design and its operational service on the Western Front.

WORLD WAR II

Air Battles over Hungary 1944–45

By Dmitriy Khazanov Story of the air battles over Hungary that took place from October 1944 to March 1945 between the Red Army Air Force and the Luftwaffe.

This work is dedicated for the most part to the fighting over Hungary during the course of the Debrecen (6 October – 27 October 1944) and Budapest (29 October 1944 – 13 February 1945) offensives, as well as the Balaton Defensive Operation (6 – 15 March 1945), which the Red Army carried out from autumn 1944 until the spring of 1945. The conduct of these operations preceded an attempt by the Regent of Budapest, Miklos Horthy, to pull his country out of the war. This attempt however was unsuccessful – Vice Admiral Horthy was replaced under Hitler's orders by the pro-Hitlerite henchman Szalasi, after which fierce and desperate battles broke out both on the ground and in the air.

WORLD WAR II | AVIATION

Poland and NATO

By Evan McGilvray A political and historic study of the recent failure of the expansion of democracy across the world and the arrogance of the ruling classes and capitalist classes as they tried to use democracy as a tyranny.

This book is a re-examination of work carried out in 1999 as Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic were about to become members of NATO. By looking at the international situation within and without Europe, the author had points to how the West, principally the USA and the UK, tried to enforce democracy on an unwilling world and largely wrecked the ideals of that system through a lack of understanding while acting with complete disregard for those who they see as being slightly less than them and treating people with contempt and with little pity.

Turret versus Broadside The Divisive Evolution of British Naval Power, 1860-1870

By Howard J. Fuller A sweeping, in-depth examination of the legendary naval controversy which shook the Victorian Royal Navy and climaxed in the foundering of HMS Captain in 1870.

On the 150th anniversary of the capsizing of Britain’s lowfreeboard yet fully-masted ironclad, HMS Captain, this widely-researched, intensive analysis of the great ‘Turret vs.

Broadside’ debate sheds new light on how the most wellfunded and professional navy in the world at the height of its power could nevertheless build an ‘inherently unstable’ capital ship. Utilising an impressive array of government reports, contemporary periodicals, and unpublished personal papers this definitive study crucially provides for the first time both a long-term and international context.

More Than Victims of Horace Public Schools 1914-1918

By Timothy Halstead Public schoolboys in the Great War were part of a nation in arms. This book explains how their involvement was far more than romantic idealism.

The book will examine the professionalisation of the British Army in the years leading up to 1914 and how the its relationship with the public schools developed. The rapid expansion of the Army after the outbreak of the war meant that a range of skills were needed to enable it to operate effectively. This book examines how public schools with their varying approaches were able to support this expansion and prepare their boys for war as well as the common elements to the military training they provided.

Life After Nuclear War Britain’s Secret Plans to Survive World War Three, Volume 1: 1950-1970

By Mark Rowe A blood-chilling, detailed reconstruction of official planning by the British authorities in the event of a nuclear war in Great Britain.

This story reveals details of what officials thought would happen, and what the days, weeks, months and the years ‘after’ would look like after an atomic bomb and how the Civil Defence Corps was planning for the ‘unthinkable’. At local, regional, and national level, exercises to test preparedness for nuclear war required planners to imagine how war would come, and what bombing would look like. Exercises affected not only the obvious departments of government – police and fire services, and hospitals – but everyone; the railways, mines, retail and agriculture.

Even if limited in total size and scope, this threat was so conditioning that the conclusion was that it had to be neutralised at the earliest possible moment in time, otherwise no victory would have been possible.

By Mariusz Motyka The M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage (M16 MGMC) also known as M16 half-track, was a US self-propelled antiaircraft gun built during World War Two. The chassis of the half-rack armored personnel carrier was used to build various variants of self-propelled guns. The basic requirement of their design was to combine the half-track transporter chassis with a self-propelled revolving turret, the very same as the ones mounted on the bomber aircraft.

In Search of Ireland's Ancient Astronomers

By Anthony Murphy and Richard Moore This book explores the invasion myths of Ireland, the link between the ancient astronomers and St Patrick, and the true inspiration behind Newgrange's white quartz facade.

The Liffey Press • 9781916099852 Paperback • 170+ illustrations 240 x 170mm • 352 pages • May 2020 £29.95

Ireland is home to some of the world’s oldest astronomically aligned structures, giant stone monuments erected over 5,000 years ago. Despite their apparent simplicity, these megalithic edifices were crafted by a scientifically knowledgeable community of farmers who endeavoured to enshrine their beliefs in a stellar afterlife within the very fabric of their cleverly designed stone temples.

Finally back in print, this reissued edition shows that the builders of monuments such as Newgrange were adept astronomers, cunning engineers and capable surveyors.

Their huge monuments are memorials in stone and earth, enshrining a belief system which resulted from a crossover between science and spirituality.

the liffey press Post-Pandemic 12 Lessons in Crisis Management

By Jonathan McMahon Not just a personal account of a crisis past, but also an essential guide for dealing with the crisis present.

In little more than a decade the world has faced two catastrophes that few foresaw and fewer still had plans to address. As populations went into lockdown to slow the spread of COVID-19 and economic activity collapsed, many countries had barely recovered from the previous global financial crisis.

As a key insider to the Irish bank bailout post-2008, Jonathan McMahon was at the heart of the response, witnessing what it takes to manage a crisis that threatens a nation. Battle-hardened by his experiences at the top of UK financial regulation during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Jonathan’s advice on how to deal with crises is invaluable as governments grapple with the effects of COVID-19.

To counter this the 17-pdr anti-tank gun was fitted to many tanks, providing them with enough firepower to defeat the Tigers and Panthers. This book covers the Firefly’s development, production and service in British, Canadian, New Zealand, South African, Czechoslovak and Polish armies.

Cold War Resistance The International Struggle Over Antibiotics

By Marc Landas Uncovers the dark history behind the discovery, production, and distribution of antibiotics, and how the Cold War played a role in today's worsening resistance to antibiotics.

In 1949 America embargoed any material deemed of “strategic importance” including antibiotics - from going to Communist countries. This inadvertently created a system of Soviet satellite antibiotic factories among Warsaw Pact countries that produced sub-par antibiotics, which fostered an environment conducive to antibiotic resistance.

In 1883, an article in the New York Times featured the headline, “Did Sarony Invent Oscar Wilde?” It was a sarcastic reference to the infringement of Napoleon Sarony’s photograph, Oscar Wilde No. 18. The actual infringer, argued that no photograph should ever be protected by copyright because there is no “author” who is “writing” the finished work. Beginning with a lighthearted overview of copyright history, from the first copyright case in 6th-century Ireland to the establishment of copyright in the US, David Newhoff orients the reader toward a basic understanding of pretechnological copyright law.

Global Spread of Islamism and the Consequences for Terrorism

By Michael Freeman and with Katherine Ellena and Amina Kator-Mubarez Examines the causes of terrorism, and how potential causal factors have changed over time by looking at several key events of 1979.

Examines how key events created incentives for different actors to spread the supply of Islamism, the institutions that they created in various countries, and the terrorists coming out of these institutions. 1979 marked the emergence of revolutionary Islam as a global political force. By also tracing the conflict in Syria, terrorism and sectarianism in Iraq, the war in Yemen, the nuclear and missile programs, the security apparatus in Iran, and fundamentalist operations around the world, Michael Freeman looks at the broader, and more accepted (and not necessarily violent) ideology from which many Islamic terrorists eventually arise.

By Joseph M. Pereira and John L. Wilson The reconstruction of a little-known battle during World War II, and the impact it has to this day.

Among the most exhaustive – and frustrating – searches for missing soldiers has been an effort by the U.S. Army to find a group of GIs who died in a small battle fought in November 1944 near the German-Belgium border. After nearly 10 searches spanning decades, results are discouraging. Families are still missing husbands, brothers, uncles. As the Army continues to look for the men who gave their lives in that engagement, the book identifies the places where they were last seen on the battlefield.

John C. Reed who fought through the war in General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia wrote detailed letters and correspondence of his experience on the battlefield. A graduate of Princeton University and a classically educated aristocrat, he wrote home often and kept careful notes of his experiences in camp and on the battlefield. Reed doesn’t shy away from providing his opinion on a variety of officers, decisions, and experiences, including the execution of deserters, premonitions of battlefield death, and what it was like to watch his friends and fellow soldiers die in battle.

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR

From Arlington to Appomattox Robert E. Lee’s Civil War, Day by Day, 1861-1865

By Charles R. Knight Looks at what the general was doing when he was out of the history's "public" eye using his own correspondence and papers.

By focusing on where he was, who he was with, and what he was doing day-byday, this book offers an entirely different appreciation for Lee. Readers will come away with a fresh sense of his struggles, both personal and professional, and discover many things about Lee for the first time using his own correspondence and papers from his family, his staff, his lieutenants, and the men of his army.

Based on hundreds of first-person accounts, From Arlington to Appomattox recreates, as far as such a thing is now possible, a Lee-centric study of what the man experienced on a daily basis.

By Phillip Thomas Tucker 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.

The important contributions of the Irish in winning the struggle against Mexico and establishing a new republic are noticeably absent from the Alamo and Texas Revolutionary historiography. Phillip Thomas Tucker breaks new ground by rectifying the oversight in this book, now available in paperback. The author utilises primary sources, including rare newspaper articles, journals, and diaries, together with quality secondary accounts, to paint the dramatic saga of the Irish in Texas.

First Fallen The Life of Colonel Elmer Ellsworth, the North’s First Civil War Hero

By Meg Groeling Examines every facet of Ellsworth’s complex, fascinating life and is the story of many young men who fought and died for the Union.

Colonel Elmer Ellsworth was the first Union officer killed in the American Civil War. When it happened, the entire North was aghast. Ellsworth was a celebrity and had just finished traveling with his famed U. S. Zouave Cadets drill team. Was it youthful enthusiasm or a lack of formal training that resulted in his death? There is evidence on both sides. Groeling’s well-written biography is grounded in years of examining archival resources, diaries, personal letters, newspapers, and other accounts. In the sixty intervening years since the last portrait of Ellsworth was written, new information has arisen.

Contrary to popular belief, the Eastern Theater during the late summer and fall of 1863 was anything but inconsequential. In addition to politics, strategy, and tactics, this book ably examines the intricate command relationships, Lee’s questionable decision-making, and the courageous spirit of the fighting men.

Reconsidering George B. McClellan’s Generalship in the Maryland Campaign from South Mountain to Antietam

By Steven R. Stotelmyer Combines extensive primary research and a keen appreciation for the infrastructure and capabilities of the terrain to look at George B. McClellan’s generalship during the Maryland Campaign.

The importance of Robert E. Lee’s first movement north of the Potomac River in September 1862 is difficult to overstate. After his string of successes in Virginia, a decisive Confederate victory in Maryland or Pennsylvania may well have spun the war in an entirely different direction. Why he and his Virginia army did not find success across the Potomac was due in large measure to the generalship of George B. McClellan, as Steven Stotelmyer ably demonstrates in this book.

Synthesising an impressive variety of sources from memoirs and letters to histories and biographies, the author explains how the Anglo-American alliance worked – and occasionally did not work – by presenting portraits and case studies of the men who worked the back channels and back rooms, the generals and the admirals, the secretaries and undersecretaries, ambassadors and ministers, responsible for carrying out Roosevelt’s and Churchill’s agendas while also pursuing their own.

August 1, 1943. Success, they thought, would be a force in ending the war.

Success instead was extremely limited, and 500 airmen were killed, wounded, captured, or interned. Negligible damage resulted at the Ploesti refineries, and a few months later they were operating at one-hundred percent capacity. To show the asperity of the raid, five Congressional Medals of Honor were awarded, two posthumously.

At no other period was the course of the war in such precarious balance, the author argues, as both Axis and Allies possessed roughly equivalent power, and as both sides still had reasonable expectations that victory could be achieved.

Greatest Escape A True American Civil War Adventure

By Douglas Miller The largest prison break in US history, when Yankee officers attempted a mass break-out from a Civil War prison considered escape-proof.

The majority of the men, obsessed with freedom, mapped out an elaborate escape plan and on one moonless night, 109 men dug their way to freedom.

Freezing, starving, clad in rags, they still had to travel 40 miles to the Yankee lines and freedom. They were pursued by the whites in the area, but every black person they encountered was their friend. On many occasions, slaves risked their lives to help these Union men, and their journey was aided by a female-led Union spy network. The book uses the actual words of the prisoners uttered more than 150 years ago, as found in their diaries and journals.

Patriots and Spies in Revolutionary New York

By A.J. Schenkman A compilation of twelve stories regarding important moments in New York State's history during the American Revolution.

Spies! Loyalists! Tories! Conspiracy! Strange messages? Codes in invisible ink? The American Revolution was first and foremost a civil war that tore at the very fabric of families as well as society. Patriots were determined to separate from England; while Loyalists were just as determined to defeat what they saw as a rebellion.

Many do not know that during several critical periods the war was almost fatally undermined by English sympathizers or in some cases opportunistic Patriots.

By J. Conway Riveting account of how Jacob Parrott, an 18-year-old illiterate orphan from Ohio, became the first soldier to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Parrott, a private in the Union Army, volunteered in 1862 for a secret mission behind Confederate lines to steal a train, tear up railroad tracks, burn bridges, and cut telegraph lines. The mission failed. Parrott and his companions were captured. Several were hung as spies and Parrott spent nearly two years in a Confederate prison. Half the team was executed; the half that escaped received the newly established Medal of Honor. This is a fast-paced, extremely well-told tale of espionage, capture, trial, and escape.

The Notorious Life of Ned Buntline A Tale of Murder, Betrayal, and the Creation of Buffalo Bill

By Julia Bricklin Captures the likeness of a man who sparked an American legend but whose own scandalous life somehow escaped history's limelight.

Edward Zane Carroll Judson aka Ned Buntline (1821–1886) was responsible for creating a highly romantic and often misleading image of the American West, albeit one that the masses found irresistible in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. He is best known for discovering William Frederick Cody (Buffalo Bill) and making the irrepressible scout a star. The Notorious Life of Ned Buntline captures a man whose readers often forgave his Jekyll-and-Hyde behaviour because of his inventive portrayal of a country trying to subdue the last of its natural landscapes and make sense of its teeming cities.

By Gary Bloomfield The grand tour of the mid-West and Western states which would influence Roosevelt's second term and the shaping of the American west.

Dubbed the “Great Loop Tour,” being careful not to call it a campaign tour, Roosevelt intended to seek re-election the following year. He was adamant that his speeches be devoid of any partisan rhetoric, nor would he meet solely with Republican office holders in the various cities and towns he planned to visit.

Speeches, which he wrote himself, covered subjects of good citizenship, a square deal for every man, a strong navy, the positive aspects of the recent irrigation bill he signed into law, and conservation of the land, forests, rivers, and wildlife.

In response, the U.S. choppered in a relief force of elite soldiers from Project Delta under legendary Chargin’ Charlie Beckwith and dropped an unprecedented million pounds of munitions just yards from the camp’s perimeter. The camp held out, but operations in the area continued. Within weeks, the Battle of Ia Drang broke out.

By Phillip S. Meilinger Provocative collection of new and expanded essays offering a fresh, if controversial, perspective on time-honoured military values, one which encourages a critical revision of US military strategy.

War is changing. The twenty-first-century’s new geopolitical situation demands new principles for warfare – de-emphasising decisive land victory in favour of airpower, intelligence systems, and indigenous ground forces. In this book Phillip S. Meilinger confronts the shortcomings of US military dogma in search of a new strategic doctrine. Jettisoning traditional perspectives and their focus on decisive battles, the author revisits historical campaigns looking for answers to more persistent challenges – how to coordinate forces, manipulate time, and fight on two fronts.

By Meir Finkel Using the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as a case study, the author explores four important but generally neglected challenges of a swift transition from peace to wartime operations.

The need to quickly enter into conflict and succeed in the initial engagements is an enduring demand on militaries around the world. Given today's dynamic geopolitical environment, the concept of successful, rapid transition or organisational and mental readiness is more relevant than ever. With clear applications for the IDF and US armed services, Finkel's study offers specific examples of hard-to-accomplish rapid transitions as well as broad suggestions for how to improve readiness.

Parleying with the Devil Prisoner Exchange in Yugoslavia, 1941–1945

New Perspectives on the Second World War

By Gaj Trifkovic and foreword by Klaus Schmider First comprehensive analysis of prisoner exchanges and the attendant contacts between the German occupation authorities and the Yugoslav Partisans.

The Second World War in Yugoslavia is notorious for the brutal struggle between the armed forces of the Third Reich and the communist-led Partisans. In this book Trifkovic argues that prisoner exchange had a decisive influence on prisoner of war policies on both sides and helped reduce the levels of violence for which this theatre of war became infamous. This book reveals that these points of contact, contrary to some claims, did not lead to collusion between these two parties against other Yugoslav factions or the Western Allies.

In this book, James F. Goode demonstrates that, alone, the human rights issues surrounding the invasion fail to explain the resulting US-Turkish estrangement.

Instead, he contends, factors including deep-seated ‘Turkophobia’, growing concern about a deadly heroin epidemic in the United States, and pro-Greek lobbies played important roles in heightening tensions and extending the embargo. Goode draws on newly available archival materials as well as the personal papers of key senators and congressmen to present the most complete analysis of the affair to date.

Edited by Richard H. Immerman and Jeffrey A. Engel A diverse group of thinkers – scholars, policymakers, entrepreneurs, poets, doctors, and scientists – explore new directions for the 21st century.

When the United States entered World War I, President Woodrow Wilson declared to Congress that the objective was not merely to bring “a new balance of power,” but rather to bring a “just and secure peace” to the world. This book takes up Wilson’s call for a new world order by proposing solutions to modern challenges such as migration, global warming, health care, and privacy in the digital age.

These points challenge US leaders and policymakers to lead an international effort and work cooperatively with other nations with mutual respect.

Instead, he illuminates how influential lobbies, America's affinity for Israel and antipathy towards Arabs, and economic pressures influenced legislators and inspired congressional action in support of Israel.

Conceptualizing Power and Indentity in the Post-Soviet Realm

By Diana T. Kudaibergenova A comparative study of Latvia and Kazakhstan.

The collapse of the Soviet Union famously opened new venues for the theories of nationalism and the study of processes and actors involved in these new nation-building processes. In this comparative study, Kudaibergenova takes the new states and nations of Eurasia that emerged in 1991, Latvia and Kazakhstan, and seeks to better understand the phenomenon of post-Soviet states tapping into nationalism to build legitimacy. This book finds surprising similarities in two such apparently different countries – one “western” and democratic, the other “eastern” and dictatorial.

By Scott C. Levi A broad revisionist account of central Asian history (1500-1800).

In the first half of the eighteenth century, Central Asia’s Bukharan Khanate descended into a crisis from which it would not recover. Bukharans suffered failed harvests and famine, a severe fiscal downturn, invasions from the north and the south, rebellion, and then revolution. To date, efforts to identify the cause of this crisis have focused on the assumption that the region became isolated from early modern globalising trends. This book exposes that explanation as a flawed relic of early Orientalist scholarship on the region.

Many came to hear him call for a free Czechoslovakia, for democratic elections, and a return to Europe. Havel was sometimes misunderstood and not always popular, but by the time of his death in 2011, the world recognised him as one of the most prominent figures of the twentieth century.

Rising Subjects The 1905 Revolution and the Origins of Modern Polish Politics

By Wiktor Marzec The unsuccessful 1905 revolution and the case of Russian-ruled Poland.

This book explores the change of the public sphere in Russian Poland during the 1905 Revolution. The 1905 Revolution was one of the few bottom-up political transformations and general democratisations in Polish history. It was a popular rebellion fostering political participation of the working class. The infringement of previously carefully guarded limits of the public sphere triggered a powerful conservative reaction among the commercial and landed elites, and frightened the intelligentsia. Polish nationalists promised to eliminate the revolutionary “anarchy” and gave meaning to the sense of disappointment after the revolution.

In one of the most iconic images from World War II, a Russian soldier raises a red flag atop the ruins of the German Reichstag on April 30, 1945. Known as the Victory Banner, this piece of fabric has come to symbolise Russian triumph, glory, and patriotism. This book examines how and why this symbol was created, the changing media of its expression, and the contested evolution of its message.

From association with Stalinism and communism to its acquisition of Russian nationalist meaning, Jeremy Hicks demonstrates how this symbol was used to construct a collective Russian memory of the war.

Coercion and Consent in the Bolivian Barracks

By Elizabeth Shesko The first comprehensive history of the military's role in Bolivian state formation.

Military service in Bolivia has long been compulsory for young men. Drawing on a body of internal military records never before used by scholars, Elizabeth Shesko argues that conscription evolved into a pact between the state and society.

Shesko contends that state formation built around military service has been characterised in Bolivia by multiple layers of negotiation and accommodation.

The resulting nation-state was and is still hierarchical and divided by profound differences, but it never was simply an assimilatory project. It instead reflected a dialectical process to define the state and its relationships.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John… and Me Growing Up Jewish in a Christian World

By Arthur Ullian A thoughtful, historically-grounded, and often humorous memoir, interweaving personal experience with an exploration of the roots of ethnic stereotypes and antisemitism.

Following a life-changing accident that left him paralysed, Arthur Ullian began to realise that not only did life in a wheelchair make him feel “different,” but he had always felt like an outsider, having grown up Jewish in the elite WASP world of prep schools, cotillion classes, and restricted clubs. He also came to see that over the course of his life he had, paradoxically, internalised the prevailing Christian view of the “Jewish character” and unconsciously attempted to replicate the social and material trappings of those who excluded him.

Learning to Love

By Nigel Woollen

Scripture passages, personal reflections and surprising anecdotes combine to encourage the reader to re-examine their life in the light of God’s loving care.

If we consider our experience here on this earth as a journey on which we are learning to love, then the Rosary is one way of illuminating our spiritual path.

Taking this timeless prayer as his starting point, Nigel Woollen sees each of the Mysteries of the Rosary as the embodiment of various stages of our earthly journeying and encourages the reader to share in its wisdom and consolation.

An eminently approachable book, written with a welcome lightness of touch.

A d d iso n & H ig h sm ith Betrayal of a Republic Memoirs of a Roman Matrona

By Joost Douma Based on historical facts, it recounts the demise of the Roman Republic as seen through the eyes and reflections of Cornelia Africana.

At its peak as the sole superpower in the Mediterranean in the 1st century BCE, internal crisis gripped the Republic of Rome, generated by the breakdown of Senate leadership.

Here Cornelia – mother of the Gracchi brothers and a woman at the zenith of power and influence in the Republic – looks back on her life and that of her sons who tried to save the Republic. The novel gives readers keen insight into the secret life of women who were politically active behind-the-scenes. It recounts a successful women’s revolt in 195 BC, with mass sit-downs at the Forum that resulted in greater social freedoms.

By Nicholas Hasluck Athens, November 1915. When a British counter espionage unit is contacted by a man from Smyrna, it seems that a bold new plan is afoot to cut through the Turkish defences at Gallipoli.

A city buffeted by the chaos of the war, a city swarming with spies and opportunists. Australian-born agent Robert Kaub is drawn into an investigation and is soon forced to confront memories of love and betrayal in pre-war Athens.

A besieged city. Deaths foretold. These are mirrored in a mystery shaped by the ill-fated attempt to capture Constantinople, a story tinted by the truths and untruths of war, a tragic tale akin to myth.

David Campbell A Life of the Poet

By Jonathan Persse David Campbell was one of Australia’s finest lyric poets. A writer, war hero and grazier, he published 11 books of poems and short stories, and was a regular contributor to The Bulletin.

Born into a landed family, David Campbell (1915-79) was a grazier for most of his life in the Canberra and Bungendore district of the Monaro, Australia. He fought with the RAAF in the Second World War, rising to the rank of wing commander, and he was twice awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross. Life on the land, writing, and wide friendships, followed. His poetry, much of it, was inspired by his love of the land, in all its forms, and by his belief in the unity of all things in nature.
