the First World Wa r Centenary Challenge of Battle The Real Story of the British Army in 1914 The British Expeditionary Force (BEF) played an immensely significant role in the colossal clash of Europe’s armies in 1914, one of the pivotal moments of 20th century history. Using first-hand accounts, Adrian Gilbert presents an examination of the BEF’s leadership, organization and tactics and gives an un-obscured view of the true historical appreciation of the British Army’s opening campaign in the West, detailing both the successes and failings of the BEF at war.

Collision of Empires The War on the Eastern Front in 1914 The fighting that raged from East Prussia, through occupied Poland, to Galicia and the Carpathian mountains was every bit as bloody as comparable battles in Flanders and France, but – with the exception of Tannenberg – remains relatively unknown. Inadequacies in supply and support arrangements, together with a failure to plan for a long war, left the combatants struggling to keep up with events, and in addition the Central Powers had to come to terms with the dreaded reality of a war on two fronts. Collision of Empires is a timely re-discovery of the bitter fighting on this forgotten front and provides a magisterial account of the chaos and destruction that reigned when three powerful empires collided.

Enduring Freedom, Enduring Voices US Operations in Afghanistan Using the first-hand accounts of the men and women who have fought in America’s longest, sustained war entailing combat operations, Enduring Freedom, Enduring Voices weaves together the documented history of US military operations in Afghanistan with their personal experiences. Many books and hundreds of articles have been written about this most recent Afghan war. However, no single work includes not only the view seen from high-level commanders, but also through the soldier’s gun sight, truck driver’s window or airman’s targeting reticuler. From combat operations to covert ops, infrastructure rebuilding to training the local police and Afghan armed forces, in this gripping new book Michael Walling presents timeless stories of determination, heroism, sacrifice and strength. n

The Knight Who Saved England William Marshal and the French Invasion, 1217 Not since Hastings had England been as likely to fall, and only William Marshal’s resistance at Lincoln in 1217 prevented another foreign conquest. It was to be the most important English victory of the medieval period – Agincourt included. Without it there would have been no Magna Carta and parliamentary government – and no subsequent Gettysburg address – nor the distinct English culture that produced Chaucer or Shakespeare. It was William Marshal, the star of the tournament circuit and seasoned henchman of Richard the Lionheart, who came to the country’s rescue in the aftermath of King John’s disastrous reign. His moment of glory at Lincoln is a rare example of a decisive medieval battle.

A History of the World in 100 Weapons A History of the World in 100 Weapons tells the stories of the hundred definitive weapons whose effects have been the most revolutionary, changing the way war is waged and the very world we live in. From the gladius of ancient Rome to the AK-47, all 100 are revealed in an array of colour photographs and contemporary images. Compiled with the assistance of some of the world’s leading military historians, this volume reveals not only the weapon itself but who wielded it and where, clearly explaining the blow-by-blow advance of military technology and expertise across the ages. ‘This splendid romp through history of warfare can be recommended as both fun and thought-provoking.’ Military Times Author Chris McNab Available April 2014 n ISBN 978 1 4728 0346 7 n Price £9.99/ US $15.95/ CAN $18.95 n Period Multi-Period n Format Hardback, 224pp n Illustrations Fully illustrated in colour and black and white n n
US Marine Corps Fighter Squadrons of World War II The US Marine Corps has a long heritage of aviation excellence, celebrating its centennial in 2012. While ‘flying leathernecks’ made their mark in both world wars, Korea, Vietnam and throughout the global war on terrorism, in the public mind they are best known for their exploits in World War II. By far the best known Marine aviators are fighter pilots, namely Greg ‘Pappy’ Boyington, Marion Carl, Joe Foss, John L. Smith and many more, but the historic and organizational background often is lacking. For the first time aviation expert Barrett Tillman presents a book devoted exclusively to Marine fighter squadrons in World War II.

Letters from the Front From the First World War to the Present Day A legacy of an empire and a nation at war, Letters from the Front is a collection of letters housed at the Imperial War Museums sent by British and Commonwealth troops from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa from the front line of war to their loved ones at home. Compiled by best-selling and award-winning author Andrew Roberts, these poignant expressions of love, hope and fear sit alongside amusing anecdotes, grumbles about rations and thoughtful reflections, eloquently revealing how, despite the passage of time, many experiences of the fighting man are shared in countless wars and battles. From the muddy trenches of the Somme through the frozen ground of the Falklands to the heat and dust of Iraq, these letters are the ordinary soldier’s testament to life on the front line.

Civil War Fort Sumter to Appomattox Undoubtedly the most cataclysmic military struggle of the late 19th century, the Civil War spanned four bloody years of fighting in which over 620,000 American soldiers and sailors lost their lives.

This book explores the political, historical and cultural significance of the Civil War, examining its impact on the civilians and military personnel caught up in it.

Hitler’s Fortresses German Fortifications and Defences 1939–45 Hitler’s Fortresses is a detailed guide to every level of defensive project in the Third Reich. It goes inside Channel Islands pillboxes, Normandy coastal gun positions and emplaced tank turrets on the Gothic Line in Italy. The secretive world of Hitler’s command bunkers is revealed in detail, and the principles and engineering of basic front-line defences are explained, showing how the average German soldier prepared to stand his ground. There is also a dedicated chapter on special-purpose fortifications, including U-boat pens, V-weapon sites and flak towers. As a guide for both the general historian and for the modern battlefield tourist, this is an authoritative record of the Third Reich’s defensive mindset. n n

British Infantryman vs German Infantryman Somme 1916 Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork, this engaging study pits the volunteers of Britain’s ‘New Armies’ against the German veterans who defended the Somme sector in the bloody battles of July–November 1916. Although small numbers of defenders inflicted appalling casualties on the attacking British, the Germans would also lose heavily as they launched piecemeal counter-attacks. Dr Stephen Bull, an authority on infantry tactics, explores the realities of combat for the infantrymen of both sides during the epic struggle for the Somme sector at the height of World War I.

Roman Soldier vs Germanic Warrior 1st Century AD In the 1st century AD the Romans and local peoples were pitched into an epic struggle for control of the territory between the Rhine and Elbe rivers in what is now Germany. Following two decades of Roman occupation, Germania Magna erupted into revolt in AD 9 following the loss of three legions to an alliance of Germanic nations in the Teutoburger Wald. By the summer of AD 16, the Romans had tracked down the enemy commander, Arminius, and confronted him in a set-piece battle at Idistaviso. At the ensuing battle of the Angrivarian Wall the Romans were once again pitted against their Germanic adversaries, as the two sides vied for supremacy at the fringes of the Roman Empire.

The American Civil War was a turning point in the history of warfare, as Napoleonic tactics met deadly new technology. Cannons and rifles had become more accurate at longer ranges, rapidfire pistols gave cavalry a new weapon, and the telegraph and railroad completely altered both strategic and tactical thinking. Across a Deadly Field, the new regimental-level wargame from Osprey Publishing, allows players to recreate this tumultuous period of warfare on the tabletop. Its versatile rules make it possible to refight any battle, from the early skirmishes of Ball’s Bluff and Big Bethel to the grand, set-piece battles such as Gettysburg that decided the war. Written by John Hill, designer of the Johnny Reb series, Across a Deadly Field offers both new and experienced wargamers a fast-paced and dynamic game where even a single regiment can make the difference between victory and defeat.

World War II Glider Assault Tactics Military gliders came of age in World War II, when glider-assault infantry were the forerunners of today’s helicopter-delivered airmobile troops. From the light pre-war sports and training machines, several nations developed troop-carrying gliders capable of getting a whole squad or more of infantry, with heavy weapons, onto the ground quickly, with the equipment that paratroopers simply could not carry. They made up at least onethird of the strength of US, British, and German airborne divisions in major battles, and also carried out several daring coup de main raids and spearhead operations. However, the dangers were extreme, the techniques were difficult, the losses were heavy and the day of the glider assault was relatively brief. This book explains the development and organization of glider troops, their mounts, and the air squadrons formed to tow them; the steep and costly learning-curves; and the tactics that such troops learned to employ once they arrived on the battlefield.

The Chesapeake Campaigns 1813–1815 In one of the most dramatic campaigns of the War of 1812, the British decided to strike at the nation’s capital, Washington, DC. A force of Peninsular War veterans under Major-General Robert Ross landed, defeated the Americans at the battle of Bladensburg and took Washington on August 24, 1814, burning the White House. This title examines the lengthy campaign in the Chesapeake Bay region, characterized by raids, skirmishes, and amphibious operations, culminating in the dramatic bombardment of Fort McHenry that inspired the writing of the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’.
