KLEINKRIEG CHARLES MELSON

In recent years the great powers of the West have most often been relegated to fighting “small wars,” rather than the great confrontational battles for which they once prepared.

It has been a difficult process, with some conflicts increasingly being seen as unwinnable.

It is thus worth paying heed now, to the experiences of another power which once encountered the same problems. This work examines the German analysis to the problem, covering their experiences from the Napoleonic era to the Third Reich.

Steve Watt The Battle of Modder Spruit and Tchrengula was the last before the commencement of the Siege of Ladysmith. Due to military blunders the battle resulted in the defeat of British arms. A day later Lord Wolseley, the British Commander-in-Chief, commented, “for the last half century we had no such disaster as that of yesterday.”

Ian Knight The forces of the independent Zulu kingdom inflicted a crushing defeat on British forces at Isandlwana.The Zulu army was not a professional force, but was the mobilized manpower of the Zulu state. In this study, Ian Knight details how the Zulu army functioned and ties its role firmly to the broader context of Zulu society and culture.

Churchill and His Airmen

On Laughter-Silvered Wings

Sinking the Beast

Vincent Orange Of all the many volumes since that war which deal with his relationships with generals and admirals, most surprisingly, there seems not to be a single book devoted to Churchill as a would-be pilot, and, more importantly, to the relations he had with a host of airmen between 1914 and 1945.

Gail Strever-Morkel This thoroughly researched biographical account of the life of a South African WW2 pilot is sure to appeal widely. Ted’s wartime exploits include the first midair skyjacking in history, many emergency crash landings, and carrying out dangerous rescue operations.

Jan Forsgren During the autumn of 1944, three RAF raids – using Avro Lancaster heavy bombers – finally sank the German battleship Tirpitz. Many previous attempts, including the use of midget submarines and raids by carrier-based aircraft, had damaged Tirpitz at her Norwegian hideout.

The Battle of the Bridges

Ian Baxter Drawing on a superb collection of rare and unpublished photographs this book provides an absorbing insight into the last desperate year of the German Army. It analyses, in dramatic detail, the German retreat from the wastelands of the Eastern and Western Fronts.

John D. Grainger After the surrender of the French, the British were concerned that the resources of the Empire would be put at the disposal of the Germans. The British sought to neutralize the threat of the French fleet and saw an opportunity to gobble up French colonies for themselves.

Frank van Lunteren Operation Market Garden has been recorded as an Allied failure, an overreach that resulted in an entire airborne division being destroyed at its apex. However, within that operation were episodes of heroism that still remain unsung.

The Battle of the Bulge: Hitler’s Final Gamble

Jack Holroyd By the end of the Second World War the reputation of Hitler’s Schutzstaffel (SS) had become so heavily sullied that the organization was banned in postwar Germany.

It’s authority in Nazi Germany had been enormous having been made responsible for Reich internal security.

Eric Denis On May 1940, the Panzers crossed the Meuse River.The town of Stonne and the woody hills of Mont-Dieu were the single area where it was possible to try to stop the German advance. Stonne saw very hard fighting, the town itself switched sides 17 times in 3 days. German officers mentioned Stonne among the battles they will never forget.

Patrick Delaforce By late 1944 the Allies were poised to smash the Siegfried Line and break into Germany. Arnhem aside, there had been a run of victories and there was no intelligence to suggest a German counteroffensive. The major attack took the Allies by surprise.This is narrated in this fine study of a battle that nearly changed the course of war.

NEW AND UPCOMING FROM CASEMATE Past & Present: 6th Airborne Division

Leo Marriott & Simon Forty Operation Tonga began on the night of 5 June, when six Halifax heavy bombers took off towing six Horsas carrying a coup-de-main force consisting of D Coy, Ox and Bucks LI. 6th Airborne Division had been allotted three specific tasks to achieve. First, it was to capture intact the two bridges over the Caen Canal and the Orne River.

Second, the division was to destroy the heavily fortified Merville coastal artillery battery. A third task was to destroy several bridges spanning the River Dives.

Past & Present: 101st Airborne

1950 Lawrence Road Havertown, PA 19083

Steven Smith & Simon Forty After its operations in the Cotentin, the 101st was withdrawn from the lines and sailed back to England.

After several false alerts, they invaded by air into the Netherlands, part of Operation “Market Garden.” 101st parachuted right into the middle of enemy territory. They met little resistance to begin with, but the Germans managed to demolish the division’s primary objective, forcing them to attempt to capture a similar bridge.They found the approach blocked but held the territory enabling engineers to rebuild the bridge.

Caesar's Greatest Victory

John Sadler and Rosie Serdiville The Battle for Alesia was a decisive moment in world history. It determined whether Rome would finally conquer Gaul or whether Celtic chieftain Vercingetorix would throw off the yoke and independent Celtic tribal kingdoms could resist the might of Rome. Failure would have been a total defeat for Julius Caesar. European, and therefore world history might have been a very different story. Caesar’s Greatest Victory reveals both sides of the conflict. The arms, equipment, tactics and fighting styles of Roman and Celtic armies are explained.

Past & Present: Omaha Beach

Leo Marriott & Simon Forty Of the five beaches attacked on 6 June, Omaha saw the sternest fighting. Well-placed defenders on the high ground and extensive beach defenses did their job. On top of this, so much had gone wrong with the first wave: many of the amphibious DD Sherman tanks didn’t reach the beach. They were released from their landing craft too far away where the greater swell swamped them and the troops landing on Omaha missed their firepower.

Another problem was that many units landed in the wrong place.

Past & Present: Bastogne

Steven Smith & Simon Forty Bastogne will live forever in the annals of American military history. From the resounding “Nuts,” in response to the German demand for surrender, to the breaking of the siege by Patton’s Third Army— disengaged from its positions on the Saar, wheeled 90 degrees and marched northwards—the defense of Bastogne and victory in the Ardennes was one of the greatest feats of American arms in the European Theater. This title looks at the encirclement, siege, and relief with then and now photographs.
