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. 978-1-61-200356-6, hardback, 216 pages, $32.95

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. 978-1-61200-4051, hardback, $32.95, November 2016
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. 978-1-61200-425-9, paperback, $16.95, November 2016
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. 978-1-61200-4341, paperback, $16.95, November 2016
