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 EmpiresThe 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.

The Knight Who Saved EnglandWilliam 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.

US Marine Corps Fighter Squadrons of World War IIThe 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.

Rising Sun, Falling Skies The Disastrous Java Sea Campaign of World War II

After Pearl Harbor was attacked, the Japanese forces continued to overwhelm the Allies by seizing resource-rich islands in the Pacific. Allied losses in the early months after America’s entry into the war were great,

and amongst the most devastating were those suffered during the Java Sea Campaign, the first major sea battle of World War ll in the Pacific.

Jeffrey Cox examines the Allied planning activities, observing where fatal mistakes were made, uncovers poor decisions and missed opportunities and reveals what the Allies gained, irrespective of the destruction

they suffered, providing a fascinating new history of a forgotten campaign.

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.

Letters from the FrontFrom 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.

British Infantryman vs German InfantrymanSomme 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 Warrior1st 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, rapid-fire 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.

ELI 200World War II Glider Assault TacticsMilitary 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 one-third 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 1813–1815In 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’.
