The German Blitzkrieg in 1940 brushed aside the Allied defenses condemning France and the Low Countries to long years of occupation. In 1944, the Allied advance after the destruction of German forces in the Falaise pocket was almost as dramatic: the pocket closed on August 14; Paris was liberated on August 25th and in northeast France Patton’s Third Army moved rapidly toward the German border, taking Rheims on August 29 and Verdun on the 30th. In the Low Countries, by September 4 British troops were in Antwerp; Canadian forces liberated Ostend on the 8th allowing the Belgian Government in exile to return to its country.

On September 5, “Mad Tuesday,” the Netherlands joyously prepared for liberation: but it was too soon. The helter-skelter advance meant that the front line units had outstripped their logistics—particularly fuel that had to be transported from the Channel coast. In early September the Allied armies paused to regroup and by the time they were ready to advance again a defensive crust had formed. Operation Market Garden—Montgomery’s brave thrust towards Arnhem to get around the Westwall and into the heart of Germany—started on September 17, and hoped to end German resistance in the Low Countries at a stroke. It ended in failure on the 25th with over 6,000 paras captured, the bridge at Arnhem being a bridge too far.

In late October operations began around Walcheren to clear the Scheldt and open the port of Antwerp to the Allies. Hard fighting continued until November 8 and mopping up operations after that, but by the 28th the first Allied convoy entered Antwerp. Belgium was almost free of the Nazi yoke.

Then, on December 16, came Hitler’s last roll of the dice: a major German counter-offensive in the Ardennes to split the Allied armies and retake Antwerp; in early 1945 the Germans also attacked along the Saar hoping to take Strasbourg. It turned out to be their last try: the American defenders held and with better weather, Patton’s army and Allied air superiority told: the Battle of the Bulge ended with Germany further weakened and in January 1945, the Allies were poised to cross the Rhine into Germany.

In the Netherlands the cold and the German decision not to distribute food saw 30,000 Dutch civilians starve in the “Hunger Winter” of 1944–45. In early 1945 the Canadians liberated the eastern and northern parts but they did not push west for fear of huge civilian casualties. Indeed, it took until three days before war’s end for the Germans to surrender their grip on the Netherlands.

Race to the Rhine is a companion to The Normandy Battlefields and links modern aerial photography with contemporary illustrations to provide a modern interpretation of the battles, highly illustrated with maps, diagrams, and photographs. It is nearly 70 years since France and the Low Countries were freed from their occupation and Race to the Rhine provides the armchair enthusiast with a graphic view of the battles. For those interested in visiting the sites, it will supply a guide to the places that best represent the battles today

GOLD RUN

The Rescue of Norway’s Gold Bullion from the Nazis, 1940

By Robert Pearson

• A tale of immense bravery, endurance and great leadership, against overwhelming oddsThe German invasion of Norway on the night of April 8th 1940 almost took Norway completely unaware; had it not been for the defiance of one small coastal battery, the Norwegian Royal Family, and the Norwegian Government, nearly 50 tons of Gold bullion would have had no chance to escape. In desperate haste the Royal Family fled Oslo by rail, dodging bombs and strafing, eventually reaching the port of Molde, which was subsequently devastated by fire bombing. The gold with extraordinary ingenuity was moved by road, rail and fishing boat, hotly pursued by the Germans. Its weight and the need for total secrecy created unique transportation problems. After several instances of near disaster, the Norwegians managed to get the gold to the coast where the Royal Navy came to the rescue. Such was the difficulty of extricating the bullion, it was not possible to load it in one cargo, and it was taken off in three Royal Navy Cruisers, HMS Enterprise, Galatea and Glasgow, from different locations. The ships were attacked in port, then constantly harassed and bombed by the Luftwaffe as they made their way back to the UK.

The loss of the bullion was a blow to the Germans. They had gained a country, but lost a King, a government and huge amount of bullion that would have financed their war machine. That loss is directly attributed to a visionary bank chief, a Colonel, a hastily assembled body of Norwegians and the ships and men of the Royal Navy, ever resourceful, brave and loyal to their respective countries. This is their story.

WAR'S NOMADS

A Mobile Radar Unit in Pursuit of Rommel during the Western Desert Campaign, 1942–3

By Frederik Grice, Edited by Colin Clarke and Gillian Clarke

• Evocative account of one man’s experience of life in a mobile radar unit in the Western Desert Campaign—the only known account in existenceFrederick Grice’s two handwritten diaries were discovered after his death by his daughter and son-in-law, who have now edited and published these extraordinary accounts. The first, account ‘On Draft’ deals the journey to the battle zone. Daily life on board ship is vividly brought to life with details of routine, the cramped conditions, the banter and pastimes and the by contrast luxurious existence of the officers. The second, ‘Erk in the Desert’ gives a detailed account of the activities of Unit 606, a radar crew that follows just behind the battlefront. 606 was a tiny unit, never more than 10 men, often operating for protracted periods in complete isolation. Fred’s account vividly and lyrically evokes the landscape and the tense and dangerous environment they operated in, pitching the reader into the experience of travelling with the unit in a 3-ton lorry, finding ingenious solutions to lack of rations and living space, whilst constantly needing

to be alert to dodge air attacks. An authoritative introduction explains the background to the military events of the Western Desert campaign, and the purpose of 606’s mission: to get to a selection of the 200 or so landing grounds in the desert with all speed; and then to defend them against air attack by using a light warning set (radar) developed to go operational within an hour.War’s Nomads sheds light on a key but little known aspect of the Eighth Army’s Western Desert Campaign. But much more than that it is a human story by a gifted writer that recreates a lost time and landscapes.

CUSHING’S COUP

The True Story of How Lt. Col. James Cushing and His Filipino Guerrillas Captured a Japanese Admiral and Changed the Course of the Pacific War

By Dirk Jan Barreveld

• An exposition of one of the most important intelligent triumphs of World War IIThe capture of Japan’s “Plan Z”—the Empire’s detailed strategy for prosecuting the last stages of the Pacific War—is a story of happenstance, mayhem, and intrigue, which resulted directly in the spectacular U.S. victory in the Philippine Sea and MacArthur’s early return to Manila, doubtlessly shortening World War II by months. One night in April 1944, Admiral Koda, commander-in-chief of Japanese forces in the Pacific, took off in a seaplane to establish new headquarters. For security reasons he had his chief-of-staff, Rear Admiral Fukudome, fly in a separate seaplane. But both aircraft ran into a tremendous typhoon and were knocked out of the skies. Koda’s plane crashed with the loss of all hands. Fukudome’s crashlanded into the sea off Cebu, and both the admiral and the precious Japanese war plans floated ashore.Lt. Col. James M. Cushing was an American mining engineer who happened to be in Cebu when war broke out in the Pacific. He soon took charge of

the local guerrillas and became a legendary leader. But his most spectacular exploit came when he captured Admiral Fukudome and his “Plan Z”. While Cushing desperately sent out messages to MacArthur to say what he had found, the Japanese scoured the entire countryside, killing hundreds of civilians in a full-scale attempt to retrieve their loss. Cushing finally traded the admiral in return for a cessation of civilian deaths—but he still secretly retained the Japanese war plans. In this book we finally learn of the huge intelligence coup by Lt. Col. Cushing that helped to shorten the entire war.

PANZER OPERATIONS

Germany's Panzer Group 3 During the Invasion of Russia, 1941

By Hermann Hoth, translated by Lindon Lyons

• The most important military campaign of the 20th century, published for the first time in EnglishHermann Hoth led Germany’s 3rd Panzer Group in Army Group Center during the invasion of the Soviet Union, and achieved a series of astounding victories, encircling entire Russian armies at Minsk, Smolensk, and Vyazma, all the way up to the very gates of Moscow.This work begins with Hoth discussing the use of nuclear weapons in future conflicts. This cool-headed post-war reflection, from one of Nazi Germany’s top panzer commanders, is rare enough. But then Hoth dives into his exact command decisions during Barbarossa—still the largest continental offensive ever undertaken—to reveal new insights into how Germany could, and in his view should, have succeeded in the campaign.Hoth critically analyses the origin, development, and objective of the plan against Russia, and presents the situations confronted and the mistakes made by the army’s leadership, as the new form of mobile warfare startled not only the Soviets on the receiving end but the German leadership itself, which failed to provide support infrastructure for

their panzer arm’s breakthroughs. Hoth sheds light on the decisive and ever-escalating struggle between Hitler and his military advisers on the question whether to adhere to the original idea of capturing Moscow. He then finally considers in detail whether the Germans, after obliterating the remaining Russian armies facing Army Group Center in Operation Typhoon, could still hope for the occupation of the Russian capital that fall. Hoth’s first-hand analysis, here published for the first time in English, will be vital reading for every student of World War II.

RACE TO THE RHINE

Liberating France and the Low Countries, 1944–45

By Leo Marriott and Simon Forty

• Stunning visual guide to Western Europe in World War IIThe speed of the German Blitzkrieg in 1940 and the relative ease with which they brushed aside Allied defences meant four years of occupation. But in June 1944—this time with American forces—the Allies finally returned for a rematch. By September British troops were in Ghent and Liege; Canadian forces liberated Ostend, and in northeast France Patton's Third Army was moving rapidly to the German border, taking Rheims and Verdun. Paris was liberated on August 25th.The liberation of the Low Countries would not prove as straightforward, however. Montgomery's brave thrust toward the Rhine at Arnhem hoped to end German resistance at a stroke. But it ended in failure with over 6,000 paratroopers captured.Despite this opposition, by October Belgium was almost free of the Nazi yoke and the Netherlands looked likely to be cleared before Christmas.Then, on December 16, came Hitler's last roll of the dice: a major German counter-offensive in the Ardennes aiming to split the Allied armies and retake Antwerp. Yet the American defenders held, and finally with better weather, Patton's army and

Allied air superiority told. With the Germans having shot their last bolt, in the spring the Rhine was gained.Race to the Rhine, a companion volume to The Normandy Battlefields, links modern aerial photography with contemporary illustrations to provide a modern interpretation of the battles, together with maps, diagrams and photos. It is now 70 years since Western Europe was freed from its occupation, and this book provides a graphic view of how it was accomplished.

A Thunderbolt Pilot’s War Across the Pacific

By James Curran and Terrence G. Popravak, Jr.

• An aviation chronicle through the Pacific War and backThere were no mission limits for a pilot in the Pacific during World War II. So it was for James “Jug” Curran, all the way from New Guinea to the Philippines with the 348th Fighter Group, the first P-47 Thunderbolt outfit in the Pacific. This work, from someone who was there, captures the combat experience of our aviators in the Pacific, aided by pertinent excerpts from the official histories of units that “Jug” Curran flew with. As well as a tale of perseverance and great personal risk, this work increases the body of knowledge on the critical role of aviation in the Pacific War, as U.S. fighter pilots took the lead in our counteroffensive against the short-lived island Empire.

FIELD MARSHAL

The Life and Death of Erwin Rommel

By Daniel Allen Butler

• Story of a German patriot torn between allegiance to his country and hatred for Hitler Erwin Rommel was a complex man: a born leader, a brilliant soldier; intelligent, brave, compassionate, egotistical, and arrogant. And yet for all his military genius, Rommel was also naive, a man who could admire Adolf Hitler at the same time that he despised the Nazis, dazzled by a Führer whose successes blinded him to the true nature of the Third Reich. Yet on one pivotal day in June 1944 he came to understand that he had mistakenly served an evil man and evil cause. In the end Erwin Rommel was forced to die by his own hand because he had dared to tell Adolf Hitler the truth.

TANKS IN HELL

A Marine Corps Tank Company on Tarawa

By Oscar E. Gilbert and Romain Cansiere

• How a few unsung Marines helped turn near disaster into epic victoryOn 20 November 1943, the Second Marine Division launched the first amphibious assault of the Pacific War, directly into the teeth of powerful Japanese defenses on Tarawa. In that blood-soaked invasion, a single company of Sherman played a pivotal role in turning the tide from looming disaster to legendary victory. In this unique study Oscar Gilbert and Romain Cansiere use official documents, memoirs, interviews with veterans, as well as personal and aerial photographs to follow Charlie Company from its formation, and trace the movement, action—and loss—of individual tanks in this horrific four-day struggle.

VICTORY WAS BEYOND THEIR GRASP

With the 272nd Volks-Grenadier Division from the Huertgen Forest to the Heart of the Reich

By Douglas E. Nash

• Ground-breaking examination of the Volks-Grenadier Divisions of World War IIAs the Allies were approaching the German frontier at the beginning of September 1944, the German Armed Forces responded with a variety of initiatives. Of these, the Volks-Grenadier Divisions (VGDs) are practically unknown. VGDs have suffered the undeserved reputation as second-rate formations. This pioneering book shows that VGDs were actually conceived as a new, elite corps loyal to the National Socialist Party composed of men from all branches of Hitler's Wehrmacht, and equipped with the finest ground combat weapons available.

SHANGHAI 1937

Stalingrad on the Yangtze

By Peter Harmsen

• Stunning description of one of the great forgotten battlesThe Battle of Shanghai was a pivotal event that helped define and shape the modern world. At its height it involved nearly a million Chinese and Japanese soldiers, while sucking in three million civilians as unwilling spectators and, often, victims. It turned what had been a Japanese adventure in China into a general war between the two oldest and proudest civilizations of the Far East. Ultimately, it led to Pearl Harbor and to seven decades of tumultuous history in Asia. Written by Peter Harmsen, a foreign correspondent in East Asia for two decades, Shanghai 1937 fills a gaping chasm in our understanding of the Second World War.

THE FIRES OF BABYLON

Eagle Troop and the Battle of 73 Easting

By Mike Guardia

• An intimate, no-holds barred account of modern warfare in IraqOn the morning of August 2, 1990, Iraqi armoured divisions invaded the tiny emirate of Kuwait. In response, the U.S. led the world community in a coalition of 34 nations in what became known as Operation Desert Storm – a violent air and ground campaign to eject the Iraqis from Kuwait, led by the men of Eagle Troop. By any calculation, the 12 American tanks didn’t stand a chance. Yet within a mere 23 minutes, the M1A1 tanks destroyed more than 50 enemy vehicles and plowed a hole through the Iraqi front. Based on hours of interviews and archival research by renowned author Mike Guardia, this is a gripping minute-by-minute account of a U.S. breakthrough against overwhelming odds.

THE FIGHTING 30TH DIVISION

They Called Them Roosevelt’s SS

By Martin King, Michael Collins and David Hilborn

• A combat chronicle of an indomitable division whose history shaped World War IIn World War I, the 30th Infantry Division earned more Medals of Honor and spent more consecutive days in combat than any other American division. What was it about these men that made them so indomitable? They possessed intrinsic zeal to engage the enemy that often left their adversaries in awe. Their U.S. Army nickname was the “Old Hickory” Division. But after encountering them on the battlefield, the Germans themselves came to call them “Roosevelt’s SS.” This book is a combat chronicle of this illustrious division that takes the reader right to the heart of the fighting through the eyes of those who were actually there.

Commercial air travel began just over a century ago. In that time there have been

groundbreaking civilian aircraft, such as flying boats, the first pressurized cabin aircraft, jet and supersonic aircraft, as well as immense changes in the capacity of a typical airliner: in the 1920s aircraft could carry 20 passengers, today some models can carry up to 800 passengers.

The World’s Greatest Civil Aircraft features 52 of the most important civil aircraft of the last hundred years. Beginning with classics such as the Dornier Do J Wal flying boat and the world’s first all-metal commercial transport, the Junkers F. 13, the book comes up-to-date with the latest Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 high-capacity passenger airliners.

The book includes many types, from cargo transports and freighters, through flying boats, passenger airliners, business jets and supersonic carriers. Featured aircraft include: the Ford Trimotor ‘Tin Goose’, one of the great workhorses of early aviation history; the first post-war intercontinental airliners, such as the Douglas DC-4 Skymaster, De Havilland Comet and Boeing 377 Stratocruiser; the Vickers VC.10, one of the greats of the 1960s golden age of commercial airliners, when jet-powered air commerce was new and airliners pampered passengers; the massive Super Guppy heavy transport, the widest aircraft in aviation history; the supersonic Tupolev Yu-144 ‘Charger’ and Concorde, Cold War competitors in aviation excellence; the Embraer ERJ, part of a new range of narrow-bodied airliners; and the most popular passenger aircraft of the present, including the Boeing 747 and Airbus A320.

Each entry includes a brief description of the model’s development and history, a profile view, key features and specifications. Packed with more than 200 artworks and photographs, The World’s Greatest Civil Aircraft is a colourful guide for the aviation enthusiast.

NO FLIGHT FROM THE CAGE

The Compelling Memoir of a Bomber Command Prisoner of War during the Second World War

By Calton Younger

• Revised edition with previously unpublished photographs, illustrations and drawings World War II prisoner-of-war Calton Younger has now revised, expanded and updated his acclaimed memoirs originally published in 1956. One critic wrote, ‘the book goes below the surface of prison camp life and shows a remarkable insight into the minds of men forced to live under conditions of tension and strain. It is the story of a young man’s journey to war, being shot down in May 1942, three years spent behind barbed wire at Stalag Luft VI, and of enduring forced marches as the Nazi state crumbled. No Flight from the Cage has become one of the classic prisoner-of-war memoirs. A book, as stated by General Sir John Hackett, that ‘deserves to be read and reread’, and ‘whose total effect is both sobering and uplifting’.

WORLD WAR I

1ST BEDFORDSHIRES

Part One: Mons to the Somme

By Steven Fuller

• The 1st Bedfordshires’s role in World War I In August 1914, the 1st Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment were amongst the small professional British Army who gathered and prepared for a war that would ‘be over by Christmas’. With a long and proud history, dating back to 1688, the regiment’s fighting men had already served through numerous wars and rebellions over and above long periods on garrison duties in the ‘Fever Isles’, the New World, and throughout the expanding British Empire. So when war was declared the ‘Old Contemptibles’, the 1st Battalion would find themselves heavily engaged in more intense fighting during the first three months of the Great War. This is the first part of their story, from their first defiant defense amongst the slag heaps at Mons, through to the ferocious fighting during the Battle of the Somme in 1916.

DIE IN BATTLE, DO NOT DESPAIR

The Indians on Gallipoli, 1915

By Peter Stanley

• The first book about the Indian role at Gallipoli to be published in the century since 1915In 1915 about 15,000 Indian troops – two or three times as many as previously thought – served in the dramatic and doomed eight-month Gallipoli campaign. Force G, as it came to be known, included Sikhs, Hindus and Punjabi Musalmans (as Muslim soldiers were called) and four battalions of Gurkhas. The Indian story of Gallipoli has barely been told before. Professor Peter Stanley, one of Australia’s most distinguished military social historians, has drawn on an extensive range of unpublished evidence, including official and private records in Britain, Australia, New Zealand and India to tell the story of the Indian experience of Gallipoli that has waited a century to be told.

HOLD AT ALL COSTS!

The Epic Battle of Delville Wood 1916

By Ian Uys

• A riveting account of the battle of Delville Wood – ‘the bloodiest battle hell of 1916’Delville Wood in the Somme was the most famous battle ever fought by South Africans. Through this action other nations learnt to respect the fighting qualities of the men from the fledgling Union of South Africa. Erstwhile foes, Boer and Briton, fought shoulder to shoulder against the German Army. The saga of Delville Wood will never be forgotten by South Africa, yet the story of the battle, told through the eyes of the participants was never fully documented, until now. Enriched by the interviews of many South African survivors, and extracts from German’s regimental histories, this riveting account documents how South African forces grimly repulsed troops five times their number.

The British Junior Infantry Officer on the Western Front 1914–1918

By Christopher Moore-Bick

This book examines the lives and careers of junior infantry officers in World War I, focusing especially on the uneasy transition from civilian to soldier, when often the young men who volunteered had no military experience. The book explores the ways in which traditional concepts of heroism and a soldierly identity were remoulded in the face of an industrialised and impersonal war.

MUD, BLOOD AND DETERMINATION

The History of the 46th (North Midland) Division in the Great War

By Simon Peaple

• Groundbreaking modern history of the 46th (North Midland)Mud, Blood and Determination draws upon a vast array of largely neglected sources from a variety of archives, and challenges some comfortable assumptions. All previous large-scale studies have focused on elite units, but this book follows this un-fancied, often belittled, division along the learning curve of the British Army. Scholarly debate, detailed historical accounts and the wider implications of war are combined together in this ground-breaking history.

Guide to Chinese Ground Forces 1937–45

The work integrates Chinese, Japanese and Western sources to examine the details of the structure and weapons of the period. Recent scholarship has contributed greatly to our understanding of China's role in the war, but this is the first book to deal with the bottom-level underpinnings of this massive army, crucial to an understanding of its tactical and operational utility. Aimed at both military historians and wargamers, this work fills an important gap in our understanding of this, the most under-appreciated army of the war.

BIAFRA'S WAR 1967–1970

A Tribal Conflict in Nigeria That Left a Million Dead

By Al J. Venter

• Thought-provoking examination of Biafra, and its enduring legacy of conflict todayAlmost half a century has passed since the Nigerian Civil War ended. Biafra’s war was modern Africa’s first extended conflict. It lasted almost three years and was based largely on ethnic, by inference, tribal grounds. Biafra was the first of a series of religious wars that threaten to engulf much of Africa. Similar conflicts have recently taken place in the Ivory Coast, Kenya, Southern Sudan, the Central African Republic, Senegal (Cassamance), both Congo Republics and elsewhere. For that reason alone, this book is an important contribution towards understanding Nigeria’s ethnic divisions, some of which persist to this day.

MOLTKE AND HIS GENERALS

A Study in Leadership

By Quintin Barry

• An examination of the brilliant individuals behind one of the most powerful teams in military historyWhen Helmuth von Moltke took over as Chief of the Prussian General Staff, the Prussian army had not fought for more than forty years. Yet within a decade and a half it was the strongest in Europe. His success was not only due to far sighted strategic planning, the comprehensive reorganisation of the General Staff and his grasp of new technologies; it was also due to his leadership of a talented, if disparate, group of subordinates, even if some of them sometimes failed to grasp his overall intentions. This book reveals the relationships between Hemuth von Moltke and ‘the power behind the throne’.

MARLBOROUGH’S OTHER ARMY

The British Army and the Campaigns of the First Peninsula War, 1702–1712

By Nicholas Dorrell

• Offers the only comprehensive examination of Marlborough’s campaigns in Spain and PortugalAn often neglected aspect of Marlborough’s war is its crucial campaign in Spain and Portugal also known as the First Peninsula War of 1702–1712. Whilst this campaign was critical to the outcome of the war, relatively little information is available about it or the army that fought it. This work provides a detailed look at the army that fought the Spanish and Portuguese campaigns of Marlborough’s war. It aims to provide more detail and understanding of a relatively little known part of a war that helped to shape and strengthened Britain’s position amongst the main European players.

BRAVE AS A LION

The Life and Times of Field Marshal Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough

By Christopher Brice

Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough, is an interesting and controversial figure of the late Georgian and early Victorian British Army. It is said he commanded in more battles than any other British soldier of this period. His life is an interesting tale of a career soldier, a fighting soldier, who was, as an officer who served under him remarked, “as brave as a lion”. A fascinating biography of a controversial but brilliant commander.

THE STUDNITZ WARS

The Wartime Journals of a Prussian Cavalry General 1849–71

The journal of Prussian Major General Benno von Studnitz was originally published in 1891 in a very limited German language edition. Now, translated and edited by his great-grandson, the General's journal appears for the first time in English.

EARLY MODERN SYSTEMS OF COMMAND

Queen Anne’s Generals, Staff Officers and the Direction of Allied Warfare in the Low Countries and Germany, 1702–1711

By Stewart Stansfield

The Anglophone history of the War of the Spanish Succession in the Low Countries is dominated by military biographies of the first Duke of Marlborough, yet ignores the men who variously aided, abetted and disrupted his leadership. Early Modern Systems of Command corrects this oversight, drawing on a wealth of primary material.

VICTORIA’S HARVEST

The Irish Soldier in the Zulu War of 1879

By John Young and David Truesdale

• The extraordinary story of the Irish soldiers of the 1879 Zulu WarThis book tells the story of some of the Irish men who served as soldiers in Queen Victoria's Army, before, during, and after the Zulu War of 1879. Men who fought not necessarily for a queen or a country, but most often for their regiment; a regiment that had seen numerous fellow Irishmen and often preceding family members serve in its ranks, as the tradition of Irish soldiers serving in the British Army can be traced back many hundreds of years. It is the story of some of those Irishmen who volunteered for service in Queen Victoria's Army and found themselves involved in not only the greatest defeat of the British soldier at the hands of a native enemy, but some remarkable victories.

L'AVIATION FRANCAISE PENDANT LA PREMIERE GUERRE MONDIALE

By Vital Ferry

• Stunningly detailed visual guide to French military aircraft, featuring colour profiles and photographsIn the cradle of aviation at the beginning of the Great War, France only had a few dozen military aircraft about which the general staff had limited knowledge. At the time of the Armistice of November 11, 1918, the French Air Force had become one of the most powerful in the world, bringing together 10,000 aircraft in nearly 300 squadrons. In four years, the French aviation industry had been able to produce 50,000, which had in turn been used to equip many allies, including Great Britain, Russia and especially the United States. This book, the first of its kind in French, provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of the French Air Force.

MIRAGE F1

By Frédéric Lert

• Detailed guide to the genesis and use of Mirage F1Successor to the Mirage III and predecessor to the Mirage 2000, the Mirage F1 has sometimes been described as a " transition aircraft."

Entered into service in 1974, it has not only assured air nationwide protection, but has also been deployed overseas, primarily in Africa. This book is devoted to the genesis of the aircraft and its use in the various French units. This is an updated edition in the first of two volumes originally issued in 2007.

THE BATTLE OF MARENGO

By Olivier Lapray

• Great victory leading to the French occupation at Lombardy

On 14 June 1800, during the second Italian campaign, Napoleon narrowly won the battle of Marengo (Piedmont). This famous battle put 28,000 French soldiers against 31,000 Austrian soldiers under the command of General Melas. At first dominated, the French had to retreat nearly seven miles back. Melas believing that victory was assured left the command to a subordinate and returned to Alessandria. The adversary's delay thus allowed Napoleon to concentrate his forces, including the corps of General Desaix, which would arrive as reinforcement. Around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the violent French counterattack forced the Austrians to retreat, claiming the lives of Desaix, undoubtedly the hero of the day.

NAPOLEON AND ITALY

By Juan Carlos Camignani and Gilles Boué

This posthumous work of Juan Carlos Camignani, one of the greatest French specialists of Napoleonic history, this time collaborating with Gilles Boue, historian of the great battles of the Empire, illustrates that the close relationship between Napoleon and Italy continued well beyond the Battle of Marengo. Using more than three hundred rare images, the authors trace the extraordinary relationship between Napoleon and Italy.

BURNING JAPAN

Air Force Bombing Strategy Change in the Pacific

By Daniel T. Schwabe

• 'The go-to book for details on the devastating fire-bombing of Japan'. - Walter J. Boyne, former director of the National Air & Space MuseumBetween the grinding battles of the Philippines, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa, and the finality of the atomic bomb strikes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the air force conducted a bombing campaign against the Japanese home islands that escalated to new levels of destruction. Daniel T. Schwabe closely examines the planning and implementation of the incendiary missions to illuminate how seemingly indispensable strategic bombardment was replaced by area attacks; a move which culminated in the area firebombing of nearly every major Japanese metropolis and the burning of sixty-six cities to the ground.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND THE STRUCTURE OF REASON

By David Hirsch and Dan Van Haften

For more than 150 years, historians have speculated about what made Lincoln great. Authors David Hirsch and Dan Van Haften persuasively argue, that it was Lincoln’s in-depth study of geometry, and that this is evident from the Gettysburg address and the Cooper Union speech. With the paperback release of their work, Lincoln takes on a new importance that will open an entirely new avenue of scholarly study.

THE WASHINGTONS: A FAMILY HISTORY

By Justin Glenn

This ground-breaking series is a comprehensive history that traces the “Presidential line” of the Washingtons. Volume One begins with the immigrant John Washington who settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and was the great-grandfather of President George Washington, and future volumes trace the history of the next fifteen generations. Although structured in a genealogical format for the sake of clarity, this is no barebones genealogy but a true family history with more than 1,200 detailed biographical narratives. These, in turn, strive to convey the greatness of the family that produced not only The Father of His Country but many others, great and humble, who struggled to build that country. A cumulative index completes the series.

SEARCHING FOR GEORGE GORDON MEADE

This book does a great deal to redress that historical injustice. It covers Meade’s career from his part in the Mexican-American War through to his participation in the great Civil War engagements, including Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Petersburg, and explores Meade’s legacy today.

Though focusing on a single theme – war – the papers are firmly based in the context of the wider social and literary issues of Ancient Mediterranean scholarship and as such, consider war and conflict as part of a complex matrix of culture in which historical actors articulate their relationships with society and historical authors articulate their relationships with history.

WHAT THE VICTORIANS THREW AWAY

By Tom Licence

• Highly illustrated, very readable insight into the everyday lives of Victorians based on archaeological examination of the contents of their rubbish tipsThe people who lived in England before the First World War now inhabit a realm of yellow photographs. Yet if we want to know how they lived, what they bought in the village store, how they stocked the kitchen cupboard, and how they fed, pampered, and cared for themselves there is no better archive than a rubbish tip within which each object reveals a story. In this highly readable and delightfully illustrated little book Tom Licence reveals how these everyday minutiae contribute to the bigger story of how our great grandparents built a throwaway society from the twin foundations of packaging and mass consumption and illustrates how our own throwaway habits were formed.

EUROPE AND CAPITALISM

Opening Up the Future

By Diego Fusaro

• Radical critique of the European Union and its consequencesThe current European Union is too often presented as the perfect realisation of a Europe of the people and freedom. The present essay overturns the common way to understand this reality, and argues that the creation of the European Union has in fact proceeded to destabilise the hegemony of the political. It has paved the road to an irresistible cycle of privatisations and cuts to public spending, to forced precarisation of labour and to an ever-more sharp reduction of social rights. For this reason, the only way to re-imagine the future, to vindicate the people and work, is to move from a radical critique of finance and the Euro.

A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN SIXTEEN SHIPWRECKS

By Stewart Gordon

• Shipwrecks as hidden windows on the history of globalizationRoman triremes of the Mediterranean. The treasure fleet of the Spanish Main. Great ocean liners of the Atlantic. A History of the World in Sixteen Shipwrecks explores the ages-long, immensely hazardous, persistently romantic, and still-ongoing process of moving people and goods across far-flung maritime worlds. This book argues that the gradual integration of localized and separate maritime regions into fewer, larger, and more interdependent regions offers a unique window on world history. It shows in a series of compelling narratives that the development of institutions and technologies that made terrifying oceans familiar, and turned unknown seas into sea-lanes, profoundly matters in our modern world.

NATHAN HALE

The Life and Death of America's First Spy

By M. William Phelps

• Now in paperback, the New York Times best-selling biographyFew Americans know much more about Nathan Hale than his famous last words: I only regret that I have one life left to give for my country. William Phelps charts the life of this famed patriot and Connecticut’s state hero, following Hale’s rural childhood, his education at Yale, his work as a schoolteacher, and his captaincy in Washington’s Army. When the general was in need of a spy, Hale willingly rose to the challenge, bravely sacrificing his life for the sake of American liberty. Using Hale’s own journals and letters as well as testimonies from his friends and contemporaries, Phelps separates historical fact from long-standing myth to reveal the truth about Nathan Hale.

ISRAELI SOCIETY IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY

Immigration, Inequality, and Religious Conflict

By Calvin Goldscheider

• A data-based analysis of social life and social problems in contemporary IsraelThis volume illuminates changes in Israeli society over the past generation. Goldscheider identifies three key social changes that have led to the transformation of Israeli society in the twenty-first century: the massive immigration of Jews from the former Soviet Union, the economic shift to a high-tech economy, and the growth of socioeconomic inequalities inside Israel. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of contemporary Israel, the Middle East, sociology, demography and economic development, as well as policy specialists in these fields. It will serve as a textbook for courses in Israeli history and in the modern Middle East.

THE SEA MARK

Captain John Smith’s Voyage to New England

By Russell M. Lawson

• The first complete narrative history of Captain John Smith's exploration of the New England coastBy age thirty-four Captain John Smith was already a well-known adventurer and explorer. He was most famous as the leader of the Virginia Colony at Jamestown, where he had wrangled with the powerful Powhatan and secured the help of Pocahontas. By 1614 he was seeking new adventures. He found them on the 7,000 miles of jagged coastline which Smith named New England. The Sea Mark is the first narrative history of Smith’s voyage of exploration, and it recounts Smith’s last years.

OIL, ICE & BONE

Arctic Whaler Nathaniel Ransom

By Helen Hiller Frink

• Eyewitness account of 15 years of whaling in the Okhotsk and Arctic seasIn 1860 fourteen-year-old Nathaniel Ransom followed his five older brothers into the dank foc'sle of a whaling vessel. For fifteen years he hunted seventy-ton bowheads in Arctic waters, for the many uses of "bone," blades of flexible baleen from the leviathan's enormous jaw, and raised its value, even as petroleum replaced whale oil as a source of lighting. His eyewitness account of whaling's brutal slaughter and sudden losses is enriched by the author's affection for an ancestor she discovered through his journals a century after his death.

AT THE POINT OF A CUTLASS

The Pirate Capture, Bold Escape, and Lonely Exile of Philip Ashton

By Gregory N. Flemming

• The astonishing true story of a young sailor’s ordeal during the golden age of piracyCalled America’s real-life Robinson Crusoe, the true story of Philip Ashton—a nineteen-year-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—was at one time as well known as the tales of Cooper, Hawthorne, and Defoe. 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.

TADEM, MY FATHER'S VILLAGE

Extinguished During the 1915 Armenian Genocide

By Robert Aram Kaloosdian

• 100 years after the Armenian Genocide, new eyewitness accountsDrawing on accounts from over a dozen witnesses, most never before published, the author recounts the life and death of one village. He follows his father, Boghos Kezerian Kaloosdian, and other townspeople from the first intimations of violence through deportations, massacres and escapes, to the establishment of diasporal communities. With striking immediacy, the author presents Tadem as a microcosm of the Genocide and argues that the Turks used the outbreak of World War I as a cover for atrocities motivated by religious hatred and greed.
