HIDDEN HEROES
The Dutch and the Belgians at Waterloo
The Dutch and the Belgians at Waterloo By Veronica Baker-Smith • A fresh look at the impact and aid of the Dutch and the Belgians in Wellington’s campaign at Waterloo The Dutch-Belgians have been variously described as inexperienced, incompetent and cowardly, a rogue element in the otherwise disciplined Allied Army. It is only now being tentatively acknowledged that they alone saved Wellington from disaster at Quatre Bras. He had committed a strategic error in that, as Napoleon advanced, his own troops were scattered over a hundred kilometres of southern Belgium. Outnumbered three to one, the Netherlanders gave him time to concentrate his forces, and save Brussels from French occupation. At Waterloo itself, on at least three occasions when the fate of the battle ‘hung upon the cusp’ their engagement with the enemy aided British recovery.

The veneration which the Duke of Wellington justifiably enjoyed after the Waterloo Campaign should not be allowed to forgive his lifelong lack of acknowledgment of the debt he owed the Netherlanders. As he once said himself, ‘there should be glory enough for all’, and it is high time that they are allowed to claim their share.

‘THE MOST DANGEROUS MOMENT OF THE WAR’ Japan’s Attack on the Indian Ocean, 1942 By John Clancy • Tells the story of the events of this dramatic but little known episode in which a major catastrophe was only narrowly averted
MOST DANGEROUS 'THE
MOMENT OF THE WAR'
Japan’s attack on the IndIan ocean, 1942
JOHN CLANCY
ASIAN HISTORY | WORLD WAR 2
In early April 1942, a little-known chapter of World War II took place, said by Sir Winston Churchill to be ‘the most dangerous moment of the war’ when the Japanese made their only major offensive westwards into the Indian Ocean. War in the Far East had erupted with the attack on Pearl Harbour on 7th December 1941 and it appeared that the British naval bases at Ceylon would be next. With the Japanese forces seeming unstoppable, the Indian Ocean lay open and undefended. So far the Japanese had suffered no significant losses and the offensive continued unabated as they steamed westward, unopposed. It was generally felt Ceylon would be next to fall.
After the war Churchill acknowledged that the potential disaster at Ceylon had been averted by 9781612003344 ■ November 2015 ■ £19.99 the brave actions of one pilot, Squadron Leader 228 x 152 mm ■ Hardback ■ 208 pages L.J. Birchall who flying his Catalina flying boat on a regular patrol, spotted the Japanese warships massing some 350 miles from Ceylon. He was spotted by the Japanese whose aircraft shot him down but before he crashed, Birchall managed to send a brief radio message back to his base. This gave the island’s defence forces sufficient time to prepare for the attack and to disperse the British fleet out to sea. Churchill acknowledged this pilot had made one of the most important single contributions to our victory.

An Epic Conflict Revisited
THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN
By Christer Bergström
THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN AN EPIC CONFLICT REVISITED
Christer Bergström
Christer Bergström WORLD WAR 2 | AVIATION
• The most thorough, expert examination of the topic available. Illustrated with numerous maps and rare photos, it reviews the battle as seldom seen before
CASEMATE UK
THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN
Illustrated throughout with maps and rare photos, plus a colour section closely depicting the aircraft, this work describes the battle in great detail and uncovers new conclusions. The Battle of Britain was a turning in point in military history, and arguably in the fate of the world. By late summer 1940 Nazi Germany had conquered all its opponents on the continent, including the British Army itself, which was forced to scramble back aboard small boats to its shores. With a Non-Aggression Pact with the Soviet Union in hand, Hitler had only one remaining object that season – the British Isles themselves. However, before he could invade, his Luftwaffe needed to wipe the Royal Air Force from the skies. Thus took place history’s first strategic military campaign conducted in the air alone.
This book contains a large number of dramatic eyewitness accounts and reveals new facts that 9781612003474 ■ September 2015 ■ £35.00 will alter perception of the battle. The author 305 x 229 mm ■ Hardback ■ 336 pages ■ Photos throughout uncovered lost records for both sides, and provides statistics that will raise more than one eyebrow. The “revisionist” version, according to which the courage and skill of the RAF airmen is “exaggerated” is scrutinized and completely shattered. There is no doubt that it was the unparalleled efforts of “The Few” that won the battle.

Ghost Patrol A History of the Long Range Desert Group 1940-1945
John Sadler
John Sadler WORLD WAR 2 | AFRICA
GHOST PATROL A History of the Long Range Desert Group, 1940–1945 By John Sadler • The exhilarating origins of modern day Special Forces groups in the form of the Long Range Desert Group and their WWII operations The origins of most of the west’s Special Forces can be traced back to the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG, which operated across the limitless expanses of the Libyan Desert during the whole of the Desert War from 1940–1943. Their work was often dangerous, always taxing, exhausting and uncomfortable. They were a new breed of soldier. The LRDG, in a dark hour, was the force which took the fight to the enemy, roving over the deep desert – the 30-cwt Chevy truck and the famous Jeep have become iconic – a small raider’s paradise, attacking enemy convoys and outposts, destroying aircraft and supplies, forcing the Axis to expend more and more resources protecting their vulnerable lines.
The Axis never managed to equip any similar unit and they never escaped their fear of the scorching wilderness. Once the desert war was won the LRDG transferred their skills to the Mediterranean sector, re-training as mountain guerrillas, serving in the ill-fated Dodecanese campaign, then in strife torn Albania, Yugoslavia and Greece, fighting alongside mercurial partisans at a time the Balkans were sliding towards communist domination or civil war. 9781612003368 ■ November 2015 ■ £19.99 229 x 152 mm ■ Hardback ■ 232 pages
In addition the LRDG worked alongside the fledgling SAS and they established, beyond all doubt, the value of highly trained Special Forces, a legacy which resonates today.

Occupation and Liberation By William Mortimer Moore • A look at the liberation of Paris and the complexities and intrigue in reclaiming the city
Paris ’44 Occupation and Liberation The City of Light Redeemed William Mortimer Moore WORLD WAR 2 | EUROPEAN HISTORY
During the fall of 1944, once the Western Allies had gained military advantage over the Nazis, the crown jewel of Allied strategy became the liberation of Paris – the capital of France so long held in captivity. This event, however, was steeped in more complexity when the Allies returned than in 1940 when Hitler’s legions first marched in. In 1944 the city was beset by cross-currents about who was to reclaim it. This book punctures the myth parlayed by Is Paris Burning? and other works that describe the city’s liberation as mostly the result of the insurrection by the Resistance in the capital.
CASEMATE UK
PARIS ‘44
Amidst the swirling streams of self-interest and intrigue that beset the capital on the eve of its liberation, this book makes clear that Leclerc and his 2nd Armoured Division were the real heroes of the liberation and that marching on their capital city was their raison d’etre.
At issue was the reconstitution of France itself, after its dark night of the soul under the Germans, and 9781612003436 ■ November 2015 ■ £19.99 229 x 152 mm ■ Hardback ■ 486 pages ■ 16pp photos despite the demands of the Anglo-Americans and France’s own insurrectionists.

THE TYPHOON TRUCE, 1970 Three Days in Vietnam when Nature Intervened in the War By Robert F. Curtis • Eye-opening story of when nature called a temporary truce during the Vietnam War Sometimes wars are suspended and fighting stops for a while. A holiday that both sides recognize might do it, as happened in the Christmas truce during World War I. Weather might do it, too, as it did in Vietnam in October 1970. The “typhoon truce” was just as real, and the war stopped for three days in northern I Corps as Super Typhoons Joan and Kate devastated the lands. No one but the Americans had the resources to help the people who lived in the lowlands, and so they did. In this book we see how for a brief period during an otherwise vicious war, saving life took precedence over bloody conflict.

SAVING MACARTHUR The Story of America’s Most Daring Naval Rescue, and of the Men It Left Behind By Rudy Tomedi • The gripping story of those forgotten but whose actions helped complete a daring rescue from the Japanese in WWII 26-year-old John Duncan Bulkeley pulled off one of the most spectacular rescues in U.S. naval history by saving General Douglas MacArthur from the Philippines. Both MacArthur and Bulkeley were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, but no mention was ever made of the nearly 80 officers and men of Bulkeley’s squadron who were left behind. Saving MacArthur is the story of the fateful friendship of two otherwise very different men who shared an unquenchable thirst for fame, but above all it is the story of the men history has forgotten, whose extraordinary courage allowed for that glorious moment, and whose only reward was to be abandoned and left at the mercy of the Japanese.

CASEMATE
BLOCKING KAMPFGRUPPE PEIPER
During the Battle of the Bulge, the 504th was committed to block the SS advance, and give aid to those caught in this aggressive German attack. In adverse weather conditions against the German 9th SS Panzer and 3rd Fallschirmjäger Divisions, the 504th lived up to its regimental motto – Strike and Hold. Although some rifle companies were whittled down to less than 50 paratroopers, the Americans doggedly fought on until victory was achieved. Using never before published diaries, letters, battle reports and interviews with over 100 veterans, a comprehensive account is painted of a triumphant U.S. regiment in one of the fiercest fought campaigns in the history of the U.S. Army.

EISENHOWER’S THORN ON THE RHINE The Battles for the Colmar Pocket, 1944–45 By Nathan N. Prefer • An informative look at the last major German offensive of World War II on the Western Front On New Year’s Eve 1944, the German forces launched Operation Northwind, a counteroffensive which nearly turned the Allied forces luck. On January 12, 1945, Eisenhower could only tell George Marshall, “It is a very bad thorn in our side today.” This is the story of the Sixth Army Group which fought on the southern flank of the SHAEF front. Amidst a horrific winter and rough terrain, interspersed by demolished towns, both sides traded blows in a ferocious campaign often neglected in histories of the war. This book informs us fully of the tremendous and costly struggle waged on that often-neglected sector of the front.

A HANDFUL OF HARD MEN The SAS and the Battle for Rhodesia By Hannes Wessels • One man’s war and time spent fighting in the Rhodesian SAS During the West’s great transition into the post-Colonial age, the country of Rhodesia refused to succumb quietly and throughout the 1980s fought back. During the long war many heroes emerged, but none more skilful and courageous than Captain Darrell Watt of the Rhodesian SAS, who placed himself at the tip of the spear in the deadly battle to resist the forces of Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo. After 12 years in the cauldron of war his cause slipped from beneath him, however, and Rhodesia gave way to Zimbabwe. When the guns went quiet Watt had won all his battles but lost the war. In this fascinating biography we learn that in his twilight years he is now concerned with saving wildlife on a continent where they are in continued danger, devoting himself to both the fauna and African people he has cared so deeply about.

NANJING 1937 Battle for a Doomed City By Peter Harmsen • The follow-up to Harmsen’s best-selling Shanghai 1937: Stalingrad on the Yangtze The infamous Rape of Nanjing looms like a dark shadow over the history of Asia in the 20th century, and is among the most widely recognized chapters of World War II in China. By contrast, the story of the month-long campaign before this notorious massacre has never been told in its entirety. Nanjing 1937 by Peter Harmsen fills this gap. In stirring prose, it describes how the Japanese Army, having invaded the mainland and emerging victorious from the Battle of Shanghai, pushed on toward the capital Nanjing in a crushing advance that confirmed its reputation for bravery and savagery in equal measure. This epic tale is told with verve and attention to detail by Harmsen, a veteran East Asia correspondent.

The Second Spartan Regiment in the American Revolution By Oscar E. Gilbert and Charlotte R. Gilbert • Exploring a unit who fought to change the fate of America during the American Revolution
AMERICAN HISTORY
Following their defeat at Saratoga in upstate New York in 1777, the British decided to implement a Southern Strategy against the American insurgents to “roll up” the rebellious colonies. Instead, they triggered a savage partisan war of raids, ambushes, assassinations, and large pitched battles that rivalled any fought in the northern colonies. This study uses battlefield terrain analysis and the words of the officers and common soldiers to bring to life the crucial role of one militia regiment – the Second Spartans of South Carolina – that fought in virtually every action of the vicious back-country war that decided the fate of America.

THE LAST BIG GUN
Her service continued beyond the Second World War both in Korea and in the Far East before she commenced her life as one of the world’s most celebrated preserved visitor ships in the Pool of London. Her crowning glory however came in December 1943 when, equipped with the latest radar technology, she was to play the leading role in the Battle of the North Cape sinking the feared German battlecruiser Scharnhorst, the bête noir of the Royal Navy. In doing so the ship’s crew made a vital contribution to, what was to be, the final big-gun head-to-head action to be fought at sea.
In The Last Big Gun Brian Lavery, the foremost historian of the Royal Navy, employs his trademark wide-ranging narrative style and uses the microcosm of the ship to tell the wider story of the naval war at sea and vividly portray the realities for all of life aboard a Second World War battleship. The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs and illustrations and will appeal to all those with an interest in military history and life in the wartime Royal Navy.
About the author: Brian Lavery is one of Britain’s leading naval historians and a prolific author. A Curator Emeritus at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, and a renowned expert on the sailing navy and the Royal Navy, in 2007 he won the prestigious Desmond Wettern Maritime Media Award. His naval writing was further honoured in 2008 with the Society of Nautical Research’s Anderson Medal. His recent titles include Ship (2006), Royal Tars (2010), Conquest of the Ocean (2013), In Which They Served (2008), Churchill’s Navy (2006), and the Sunday Times bestseller Empire of the Seas (2010).

The Map Makers’ World illuminates the fascinating cultural history of European world maps: what do historical world maps tell of us, of our perception of the world, and of places and peoples that are foreign to us? Who were the makers of these early world maps? How were the maps created and for whom were they drawn and printed? For what purposes were they used? What kind of information did they pass on? The answers to these questions open up a fascinating narrative of discovery and cartography relating not only to ideology and political power but also the histories of art and science. Rigorously researched and informed by the latest academic findings, The Map Makers’ World is beautifully illustrated presenting some 300 maps from the world’s finest museums, libraries and private collections.The book gives us a revealing and captivating perspective on the development of European world maps from the Early Middle Ages up until the modern period, i.e. from the 8th century until the end of the 18th century. The Map Makers’ World is a major work which ambitiously showcases all of the early European world map traditions: Medieval world maps (T-O maps, mappa mundis, Beatus maps, etc.); Ptolemy’s maps; seafarers’ maps (portolan charts, planispheres and nautical charts), printed world maps and globes from the pre-Renaissance through to the Baroque era. Furthermore, The Map Makers’World takes its readers through the history of European global discovery and cartographic research, and also brings to life the exciting times when many of these historical maps were first discovered in the 19th century, after centuries of oblivion. The volume includes dedicated features further exploring 100 of the most important cartographic masterpieces from the period. The book is written as an exciting, flowing narrative, rather than a catalogue or an encyclopedia, and it takes the reader on the ultimate voyage of discovery.

Hassett • New paperback edition of a long out of print classic about FDR and World War II by his personal secretary A compelling document that provides insights into FDR’s daily routine during the War. This text is quoted by all historians and biographers of FDR and comes out appropriately for the 70th anniversary of the end of the war and FDR’s death in April 1945. This reprint joins many books published about Franklin D. Roosevelt and stands out because of the content, which provides little-known details about the president during the war years. FDR still stirs controversy but a broad consensus credits his leadership for the successful prosecution of the Second World War.

I WAS THERE Memoirs of Fleet Admiral Leahy, 1940-1945 By William D. Leahy • New paperback edition of a long out of print set of memoirs from a major military leader and friend of President Roosevelt The military leader closest to President Roosevelt during World War 2 tells his story from 1942 to V-J Day. The 70th anniversary of victory in Europe and Japan is an appropriate time to reprint the memoirs of Admiral Leahy. This book will appeal to all readers interested in World War II and particularly the American role and how President Roosevelt’s orders and directives were discussed and carried out. Leahy’s memoir stands out for its candid and dispassionate understanding of events, since he was one of the few to be on a first-name basis with the president. Of particular interest are Leahy’s accounts of the main conferences from 1942 going forward where he was always at FDR’s side.

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION A Monarchist View By Pierre Gaxotte • A reprint of a popular title on the French Revolution providing a critical approach to the revolt that turned into a revolution The French Revolution is a big subject and many major historians and writers have attempted to shed new light on what happened in France from 1789 to 1799. Gaxotte stands out for his contrarian approach that offers a well-reasoned defence of the French monarchy, much in the style of the English historian Edmund Burke. A description of the main characters and events of the revolution accompanies a decidedly critical interpretation much to the embarrassment of the many glorifiers of those bloody times.

Historian Ken Cothliff has pieced together the story of a few of Bomber Command’s young Canadian aircrew, all of whom made their contribution to the eventual victory over tyranny.

Under direct attack the Allies responded. V-Weapons Bomber Command Failed to Return tells the story of some of the airmen who were prepared to risk their lives countering the German V-Weapon offensive in direct defence of the civilian population. They had responded to what British Prime Minister Winston Churchill described as the attempt to ‘blast the viper in his nest’. Their story deserves to be told. ‘We Will Remember Them’.

THE MYTH OF THE GOOD WAR America in the Second World War By Jacques R. Pauwels • A revisionist account of the Second World War, what caused it, why it unfolded as it did, and who emerged the victor Jacques Pauwels seeks to find the real reasons for the actions of great powers and great leaders. Familiar Second World War figures from Adolf Hitler to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin are portrayed in a new light in this book. Leaders, usually cast in a heroic mould in other books about this war, look quite different here. The Second World War, as Jacques Pauwels tells it, was a good war only in myth. The reality is far messier – and far more revealing of the evils that come from conflicts between great powers and great leaders seeking to enrich their countries and dominate the world.

The Origins of the Indianization of the Indian Army’s Officer Corps, 1817-1917 By Chandar Sundaram • Rigorously and painstakingly researched, this book is a defining contribution to the history of the colonial Indian Army On 20 August 1917, the British government declared that its Indian subjects were to be granted greater participation in India’s self-government. In this book, Chandar Sundaram sheds new and important light on the story of the Indianization of the Indian Army’s officer corps, by detailing its origins, from when it first appeared as an idea, to its acceptance, if only theoretically, by officials in London and New Delhi a hundred years later, in 1917.

FIGHT FOR A THRONE The Jacobite ‘45 Reconsidered By Christopher Duffy • Christopher Duffy deals comprehensively with the reasons for ultimate triumph of the Hanoverian cause in 1746 The bid of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his Jacobites for the throne of Britain has never lost its grip on the popular imagination. In July 1745 he and a tiny group of companions arrived in Scotland. They came unannounced and unsupported, and yet within less than five months Charles was able to lead an army to within marching distance of London and make King George II fear for this throne. Afterwards the Highland Army continued to outfight the redcoats in every encounter, except its very last. These were not the achievements of a backward-looking cause, and this ground-breaking study is the first to explain exactly why.

The story of one infantryman’s experiences are intertwined with those, often brief, details given from his Battalion’s War Diary, giving insight into what he and his comrades faced in the campaign. This account not only includes the first hand recall of the thoughts and aspects of facing battle, but also includes one man’s personal comments on what he was asked to undertake, those whom he served with and under and the, often ignored, aspects of the routine and drudgery which were also part of the experience.

DECISION ON THE MINCIO The Battle of Solferino 1859 By Bruno Dotto • An up-to-date account of the Battle of Solferino which makes use of previously ignored documents and archival sources Solferino was the largest battle fought on Italian soil before the First World War, and the culmination of the 1859 campaign in northern Italy. Chiefly remembered today as the catalyst for Henri Dunant establishing the Red Cross, an up-to-date military account of the campaign is badly needed. In this tremendously detailed study the author, a lifelong student of the battle, reassesses the evidence based on an enormous amount of original archival research. Decision on the Mincio is supported by an array of illustrations, highly detailed maps and orders of battle.

OPERATION MARKET GARDEN The Campaign for the Low Countries, Autumn 1944: Seventy Years On By John Buckley and Peter Preston-Hough • An important new work that re-examines many of the questions behind Operation Market Garden In September 1944 the Western Allies mounted an audacious attempt to seize a crossing over the Rhine into Germany in a bid to end the Second World War quickly. Yet despite the deployment of thousands of American, British and Polish airborne troops, in conjunction with the efforts of ground forces, the plan failed spectacularly and the war continued well into 1945. Operation Market Garden is the result of a major international conference and highlights many new areas of interest and forces us to rethink our understanding of this pivotal period of the Second World War.

This book broadens the narrative beyond Flanders and recognises the experience of those who fought and fell so much closer to Venice than to Ypres.

The inspired way in which Tubby ran this ‘home from home’, turned Talbot House, or ‘Toc H’, into the best-known soldiers’ club of the British Army – a sanctuary for half a million men on their way to or from the Front.

George Hopper, ex-bank clerk and now Rifleman with the King’s Royal Rifle Corps, begins his superbly illustrated diary in May 1940 by telling of the early frustrations of military life. Eventually deployed to Egypt, George vividly recounts the horrendous conditions in the troopships and of Montgomery’s epic 8th Army battle with Rommel at El Alamein. As a stretcher bearer in the midst of the most violent warfare, his terrible and gruesome experiences resulted in the nightmares that were to stay with him for the remainder of his life.

This title provides a proper emphasis to the largely unsung work of the Anti-Aircraft Artillery, Luftwaffe ground forces, Signals Service and the Medical Services and the vital work of the huge training organisation, and the organisation and role of a continent-wide ground organisation.

Although unapologetic for his service, Kaisergruber makes no special claims for the German cause and writes not from any postwar apologia and dogma, but instead from his first-hand observations as a young man experiencing war for the first time, extending far beyond what had been imaginable at the time. His observations of fellow soldiers, commanders, Russian civilians and the battlefields prove poignant and telling.

ROLLBACK The Red Army’s Winter Offensive along the Southwestern Strategic Direction, 1942-43 By Richard Harrison • An examination of the movements, equipment, and strategy of the Red Army’s Winter Offensive Rollback covers the period from mid-December 1942 to mid-February 1943, one of the most critical periods of the war on the Eastern Front. It was here that following the encirclement of an entire German army at Stalingrad, the Soviets sought to take advantage of the ruptured Axis front in southern Russia to finish off the Germans’ Italian and Hungarian allies and liberate the economically vital areas of eastern Ukraine. This study is drawn from a number of wartime and postwar articles, published by the General Staff’s directorate for the study of wartime experience.

Given the evasion by significant nations of the trade sanctions imposed by the United Nations, the gamble was that this de facto recognition would become de jure.

It is Saturday afternoon, 19 July 1975, next to a dry riverbed in Rhodesia’s north-eastern operational area, in a war against communist-backed guerrillas.

With little more that 100 of its own combat personnel on the ground in both the wars in Angola and Sierra Leone, the outstanding success that EO achieved was in no small part due to the force-multiplying effect and support given by its helicopter and jet pilots of the Air Wing.

His finest book to date looks at the bloody period of 1973/4 and features many contributions from those who were there besides superb and painstaking research. ‘Sir, they’re taking the kids indoors’ was a cry heard by most if not all of the British soldiers who served on either the 4 month emergency or the 2 year resident battalion tours of Northern Ireland. It refers to the IRA tactic of warning the civilian population in Republican areas of the impending arrival of one of their gunmen.

US FORCES IN VIETNAM 1968 - 1975 By Guillaume Rousseaux • Covering the evolution of uniforms, equipment and weaponry issued to the American soldier, from 1968 to 1975 In the aim of depicting characteristic servicemen at given periods, a great deal of research was undertaken in order to guarantee coherence between the units, dates and geographical situations. Differing from other publications, the author has deliberately chosen to illustrate all types of service personnel rather than solely combatants in order to give an exact presentation of the American military during this period. Indeed, it should be remembered that 85% of service personnel in Vietnam were support troops and advisors.

It is considered to be one of the most successful tank destroyers of World War II. It was not popular with crews, for the cramped space and poor external vision made it difficult to use. It proved to be a dangerous opponent on the defensive, however, and it was one of the best German tank-hunters of the late war period.

O’Connell makes a compelling case that Sherman’s march through the south was not a campaign of unmitigated destruction, but a necessary piece of strategy and the perceived chaos has been overblown. O’Connell’s Sherman is ultimately a complicated and quintessential nineteenth-century American.

One day. Fourteen hours. 12,000 Union cavalrymen against 9,000 of their Confederate counterparts – with 3,000 Union infantry thrown in for good measure. Amidst the thunder of hooves and the clashing of sabers, they slugged it out across the hills and dales of Culpepper County, Virginia. And it escalated into the largest cavalry battle ever fought on the North American continent. The tale includes a veritable who’s-who of cavalry all-stars in the East: Jeb Stuart, Wade Hampton, John Buford, and George Armstrong Custer.

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
Nathan Bedford Forrest was one of the most intriguing characters to emerge during the Civil War. There are no shortage of books and articles on the man and his generalship, with topics ranging from hero worship based on his extraordinary battlefield successes to condemnation based on his association with Fort Pillow and later, the Ku Klux Klan. Author John R. Scales, a retired special forces brigadier general, breaks new ground with this two-part instalment.

“NO SUCH ARMY SINCE THE DAYS OF JULIUS CAESAR” Sherman’s Carolinas Campaign from Fayetteville to Averasboro, March 1865 By Mark Smith and Wade Sokolosky • Perfect for those interested in the Carolinas, Generals Sherman and Johnston, or the Civil War in general General William T. Sherman’s 1865 Carolinas Campaign receives scant attention from most Civil War historians, largely because it was overshadowed by the Army of Northern Virginia’s final battles against the Army of the Potomac. Career military officers Mark A. Smith and Wade Sokolosky rectify this oversight with No Such Army Since the Days of Julius Caesar, a careful and impartial examination of Sherman’s army and its many accomplishments.

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
Everyone knows the story of how the Civil War began at Fort Sumter, but what happened to the fort after the first shots were fired there? The North wanted to restore Sumter to its rightful place in the Union and close the vital Confederate supply port of Charleston while the South needed to defend its birthplace and keep the supplies flowing--thus making Fort Sumter one of the most fervently attacked and most tenaciously defended pieces of real estate in the United or Confederate States of America throughout four years of war.

FREEDOM: THE END OF THE HUMAN CONDITION By Jeremy Griffith • Venturing to the dark depths of what it is to be human… Why do we thinking, rational, immensely clever, supposedly sensible beings behave so ruthlessly, competitively and selfishly that human life has become all but unbearable and we have nearly destroyed our own planet? Are we a flawed species, some sort of evolutionary mistake, fundamentally worthless beings – or are we possibly the absolute heroes of the story of life on Earth? How are we to make sense of the awesome contradictions of the human condition? Yes, how are we to truly understand ourselves – because without redeeming, biological understanding there can be no real peace for the human mind, no basis for the much-needed psychological rehabilitation and maturation of the human race. Griffith’s book introduces the reader to the issue of the human condition and his biological explanation of it. It describes how the anger and selfishness felt by humans is the result of a conflict between two factions within us – the gene-based instinctive self-struggling against the nerve-based intellect’s need and responsibility to understand existence. The conflict caused humans to live with an undeserved sense of guilt that understanding now ameliorates.

Three Books by Tamara Tracz is a very special three-hardback-volume slipcased book. It is, first and foremost, a story that follows several generations of a family as their lives unfold in various cities, countries and continents during the course of the twentieth century. Three Books is not written in the usual form of family biography, and is not only the story of this family’s history. It is also a story about stories, about the passing on of information between generations, and between different branches of a family over time. Three Books is a form of artist’s book, a creative work that sits at the interface of non-fiction and radical typesetting experimentation.

AT THE POINT OF A CUTLASS The Pirate Capture, Bold Escape, and Lonely Exile of Philip Ashton By Gregory N. Flemming America’s real-life Robinson Crusoe, the true story of Philip Ashton – a nineteenyear-old fisherman captured by pirates, impressed as a crewman, subjected to torture and hardship, who eventually escaped and lived as a castaway and scavenger on a deserted island in the Caribbean. Based on a rare copy of Ashton’s 1725 account, Gregory N. Flemming’s vivid portrait recounts this maritime world during the golden age of piracy. Chased by the British Royal Navy, blown out of the water or summarily hung when caught, pirate captains such as Edward Low kidnapped, cajoled, beat, and bribed men like Ashton into the rich—but also vile, brutal, and often short—life of the pirate. At the Point of a Cutlass expands on a lost classic narrative of America and the sea, and brings to life a forgotten world of ships and men on both sides of maritime law. 256 pages ■ 15 illustrations, 1 map University Press of New England

THE HOLY CITIES OF ARABIA By Eldon Rutter Few British explorers in Arabia have produced books whose importance as travelogues is transcended by their literary quality. One such is The Holy Cities of Arabia, published to critical acclaim in 1928, with its author hailed as a worthy successor to Burckhardt, Burton and Doughty. The book proved to be its author’s only full-length work. This new edition aims to revive a neglected masterpiece and to establish Rutter’s reputation. Little was known about him until now and the introduction tells the story of his life for the first time, assessing his talents as a travel writer and analysing his significance as a British convert.
