XN-3112 ~ FIGHTING EMPERORS OF BYZANTIUM ~ by John Carr

The Eastern Roman or 'Byzantine' Empire had to fight for survival throughout its long history. John Carr concentrates on more capable war fighters who occupied the imperial throne at Constantinople, including such men as Constantine I , Julian, Theodosius, Justinian, Heraclius, Leo I, Leo III, Basil I, Basil II, Romanus IV Diogenes, Isaac Angelus, and Constantine XI. Byzantium's emperors formed a bulwark of Christendom against aggressive Islamic expansion, thus was the Empire able to endure for almost a thousand years after the fall of Rome. 2015, Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781783831166,<36886-01-A-01>

The Roman Defeat at Adrianopolis, AD 378. In AD376 Goths, seeking refuge from the Huns, sought admittance to the Eastern Roman Empire. Emperor Valens took the decision to grant them entry, hoping to utilize them for his campaigns against Persia. The Goths had been providing warriors to Roman armies for decades, however mistreatment by Roman officials led them to take up arms against their hosts. The resultant battle near Adrianopolis in AD378, in which Valens lost his life, was one of the most significant defeats suffered by Rome. 2015, Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781781590881,<36792-01-A-01>

XN-3114 ~ BRUTUS: CAESAR'S ASSASSIN ~ by Dr. Kirsty Corrigan

Although Marcus Junius Brutus is one of the most infamous, conspirators of Rome and the ancient world, knowledge of him has principally been passed to the modern world through the medium of Shakespeare's tragedy, Julius Caesar. This biography considers Brutus in his historical context, gathering details from ancient evidence and piecing together his whole life. While his actions played a pivotal role in Roman history, ultimately bringing about the downfall of the Roman republic, Brutus has been neglected. This dedicated biography is a full and balanced reconsideration of this significant Roman. 2015, Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781848847767,<37037-01-A-01>

XN-3115 ~ THE WAR OF THE THREE GODS ~ by Peter Crawford

Romans, Persians and the Rise of Islam. A military history of the first half of seventh century, focussing on the reign of the Eastern Roman Emperor Heraclius (AD 610-641). The Eastern Roman Empire was brought to the very brink of extinction by the Sassanid Persians, before Heraclius managed to inflict a crushing defeat on the Sassanids with a desperate, final gambit. His conquests were short-lived, however, for the newly-converted adherents of Islam burst upon the region, administering the coup de grace to Sassanid power and laying siege to Constantinople itself. 2013, Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781848846128,<36909-01-A-01>

XN-3116 ~ LEGIONS IN CRISIS ~ by Paul Elliott

The Roman Empire stumbled and almost fell in the 3rd century AD, weighed down by civil war, usurpers, invasion, plague and inflation. Rome teetered on the brink of disaster. Legions in Crisis looks at the crippling body blows inflicted on the Roman Empire during this 3rd century trauma. In particular it charts the changes that the legions underwent, sometimes by imperial decree, at other times through necessity. The idea of the legions as an unchangeable, undefeatable elite is challenged here as we see the army transformed along with its equipment and weaponry. 2014, Fonthill Media, ISBN 9781781553343,<37007-01-A-01>

XN-3117 ~ THE MADNESS OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT ~ by Richard A Gabriel

Over the years, Alexander the Great has been hailed as possibly the greatest general that ever lived. Richard A. Gabriel, however, argues that, while Alexander was clearly a successful soldier-adventurer, the evidence of real greatness is simply not there. The author presents Alexander as a misfit within his own warrior society, thoroughly insecure and unstable. He was given to episodes of uncontrollable rage and committed brutal atrocities that would today have him vilified as a monstrous psychopath. 2015, Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781783461974,<36859-01-A-01>

XN-3118 ~ THE SELEUKID EMPIRE OF ANTIOCHUS III 223-187 BC ~ by John D. Grainger

Antiochus III is too often remembered as the man who lost to the Romans at Magnesia, but he is revealed as one of the most powerful and capable rulers of the age. Having emerged from civil war in 223 as the sole survivor of the Seleukid dynasty, he shouldered the burdens of a weakened and divided realm. Though defeated by Egypt in the Fourth Syrian War, he gradually restored full control over the empire. His great Eastern campaign took Macedonian arms back to India for the first time since Alexander's day and, returning west, he went on to conquer Thrace and wrest Syria from Ptolemaic control. 2015, Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781783030507,<36806-01-A-01>

Robert Guiscard, William the Conqueror, Roger I of Sicily and Bohemond Prince of Antioch are just four of the exceptional Norman commanders who not only led their armies to victory in battle but also, through military force, created their own kingdoms in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Their single-minded and aggressive leadership, and the organization, discipline and fighting qualities of their armies, marked them out from their Viking forebears and from many of the armed forces that stood against them. 2015, Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781783462285,<37008-01-A-01>

QS-1004 ~ ROMAN CONQUESTS: MACEDONIA AND GREECE ~ by Philip Matyszak

While Rome was struggling for survival against the Carthaginians in the Second Punic War, Philip V of Macedon attempted to take advantage of its vulnerability by allying with

Hannibal and declaring war. For the time being the Romans negated this threat by shrewd use of allies to keep Philip occupied in Greece and Illyria. Once Carthage was defeated, however, the Romans were free to settle the score. Though sorely tested, the Roman legions emerged victorious from the battles of Cynoscephelae and Pydna, and the home of Alexander the Great fell under the power of Rome, along with the rest of Greece. Specially-commissioned colour plates bring the Armies vividly to life in meticulously-researched detail. 2009, Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781844159680,<36721-01-A-01>

QS-1005 ~ THE EMPEROR COMMODUS: GOD AND GLADIATOR ~ by John McHugh

Commodus is synonymous with debauchery and megalomania, best remembered for fighting as a gladiator. Ridiculed and maligned by historians, much of his infamy is clearly based on fact, but is this the real story? This book sets his twelve-year reign in its historical context, showing that the 'kingdom of gold' he supposedly inherited was actually an empire devastated by plague and war. Openly autocratic, Commodus compromised the privileges and vested interests of the senatorial clique, who therefore plotted to murder him. Surviving repeated conspiracies only convinced Commodus that he was under divine protection. 2015, Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781473827554,<37033-01-A-01>

XN-3120 ~ FIGHTING FOR THE FAITH ~ by David Nicolle

Fighting between Christians and Muslims in the medieval period is often seen in the narrow context of the battle for the Holy Land. But, as this thought-provoking survey shows, the religions clashed across the medieval world - in the Mediterranean and the Iberian peninsula, in the Near East, in Central Asia, India, the Balkans, Anatolia, Russia, the Baltic and Africa. Over 500 years each theatre of conflict had its own character - methods of warfare differed and developed in different ways. 2007, Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781844156146,<36908-01-A-01>

He established a reputation as a bold admiral, defeating Sextus Pompeius at Mylae and Naulochus (36 BC), culminating in the epoch-making Battle of Actium (31 BC), and ended bloody rebellions in the Cimmerian Bosporus, Gaul, Hispania and Illyricum. 2015, Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781848846173,<36807-01-A-01>

At the end of August 1914 the three armies of the German northern wing swept south towards Paris. Expecting the German army to capture Paris, the French government departed for Bordeaux. Commander-in-Chief of the French forces, Joffre, ordered his men to retreat to a line along the River Seine, over 60km south of the Marne preparing to attack on the 6th. For the next three days the German forces were unable to break through the Allied lines. By the evening of 10th September, the Battle of the Marne was over.

In early 1918, after months of stalemate, a massive German offensive broke the British line - and almost broke the British Army. This book captures the impact of that terrible assault, the long fighting retreat, the vital stand at Amiens which finally secured the line. Many of the troops, ordered to hold a position 'to the last man', were mere teenagers, who found courage in desperate situations in camaraderie, jokes and bravado. The result is a compelling picture of the human face of war. 1998, Book Club Associates, <27888-01-D-02> 382pp, 17 maps 60

Drawing on a large number of German sources, many of them previously unpublished, Jack Sheldon throws new light on a familiar story. He demonstrates that the dreadful losses of 1st July were a direct consequence of meticulous German planning and preparation. Poor Allied co-ordination and persistence in weak attacks on narrow fronts played into the hands of the Germans, who were able to rush forward reserves, maintain the overall integrity of their defences, and fight a successful delaying battle until the onset of winter ultimately neutralised the Allied superiority. 2007, Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781844155132,<33258-02-D-02>

XN-3128 ~ GERMANY ASCENDANT: THE EASTERN FRONT 1915 ~ by Prit Buttar

The massive offensives on the Eastern Front during 1915 are often overshadowed by the events in Western Europe, but the scale and ferocity of the clashes between Imperial Germany, Hapsburg Austria-Hungary and Tsarist Russia were greater than anything seen on the Western Front. The author examines the critical events of 1915, as the German Gorlice-Tarnow Offensive triggered the collapse of Russian forces. Throughout the year, German dominance on the Eastern Front grew - but stubborn

Russian resistance forced the continuation of a two-front war that would drain Germany's reserves of men and equipment. 2015, Osprey, ISBN 9781472807953,<37021-01-D-03> 448pp, 30

A History of the Eastern Front of the First World War. While British, French, and later American troops fought a static war with Germans in the West, huge armies of Austro-Hungarians and Germans clashed with Russians and Romanians on the sprawling landscape of the east. Vast plains, endless forests, giant marshlands and a major mountain range were the setting for this desperate contest. As a result three mighty empires disappeared into revolution, violence and chaos. This history of the war in the east records the story of this forgotten theater in text and in maps, from the first shots in August 1914, to the fighting over boundaries which characterized east-central Europe long after the armistice in the West. 2007, Publish America, ISBN 9781424168002,<36827-01-D-03>

A 'coalition' of 16 nations including Britain, America and France became involved on numerous fronts in support of the Whites. The result was defeat and failure for the coalition forces.

QS-1123 ~ THE NAZI SEIZURE OF POWER ~ by William Sheridan Allen

The experience of a single German town, 1922-1945. The author examines the entire period of the Nazi Revolution within the single locality of Northeim. He demonstrates how dictatorship subtly surmounted democracy and how the Nazi seizure of power encroached from below. Relying upon legal records and interviews with primary sources, he describes the transformation of a sleepy town to a Nazi stronghold. In his analysis, he argues that Hitler rose to power primarily through democratic tactics that incited localized support rather than through violent means.

The author has however, focused on six of the lesser-known sieges - the bitter defence of the Brest Litovsk Fortress in 1941, the frozen Hell of Fortress Kholm, the operations to capture the Sevastopol peninsula, the betrayal of the gallant Hungarian and German defenders of Budapest, the tragedy of Königsberg, and the hard-fought defense of Breslau, which held out after the official German surrender. 2004, J J Fedorowicz, ISBN 0921991851,<33033-02-F-01> 240pp,

Settled by the Germans in the Middle Ages, the territories of East Prussia, Silesia, the Sudetenland, much of Pomerania and Brandenburg were emptied, the historic ethnic communities in Hungary, Romania and Yugoslavia either expelled or killed. Over two million Germans did not survive their forced displacement. 1993, Macmillan, ISBN 0333604695,<36984-01-G-01> 177pp

At the end of Volume Two, Germany’s vaunted Sixth Army, already deflected from its original goal—the Caucasus oil fields — had been drawn into a desperate war of attrition within the ravaged city of Stalingrad. In Volume Three, Book One, we see the ultimate consequences of the Germans’ overreach and the gathering force of the Red Army’s massive manpower and increasingly sophisticated command. After failing repeatedly to find and exploit the weaknesses in Axis defenses, Stalin and the Stavka (High Command) finally seized their chance in mid-November of 1942 by launching a bold and devastating counteroffensive, Operation Uranus. 2014,Univ.

Book Two finds the Red Army’s counteroffensive, Operation Uranus, well underway. Drawing on previously unavailable material, Glantz gives a closely observed account of the final ten weeks of Germany’s ill-fated Stalingrad campaign. In short order, the Red Army parried and then defeated two German attempts to rescue the Sixth Army, crushed the Italian Eighth and Hungarian Second Armies, severely damaged the German Fourth Panzer and Second Armies, and finally destroyed the German Sixth Army in the ruins of Stalingrad. With well over half-a-million soldiers torn from its order of battle, Hitler’s Axis could only watch in horror as its status abruptly changed from victor to vanquished. 2014,Univ.

Here, the elite of the Panzerwaffe were assembled including Pz divisions SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler, Das Reich, Totenkopf, Wiking and others, armed with up to 900 tanks and self-propelled guns.

QS-1315 ~ OBJECTIVE PONYRI! ~ by Martin Nevshemal

An account of the defeat of XXXXI Panzerkorps at Ponyri Train Station in early July, 1943. Operation Citadel, the twin-pronged summer offensive was the final throw of the dice for Hitler and his Ostheer, and its defeat spelled the end of German ambitions in the East. Kursk is the subject of dozens of books, almost all of them focusing on the southern shoulder of the battle, yet the offensive in the north was crucial to Citadel's success. The German plan was to crack open the Soviet defensive line, seize Ponyri Station which sat astride the best navigable route through gully-riven terrain, and then feed through fresh panzer divisions for the final push to Kursk. Infantry units, supported by a formidable array of armor, were ordered to take Ponyri on Day 1, but the Soviets were ready and waiting for them in three thick defensive lines. XXXXI. Panzerkorps eventually seized Ponyri Station, but then faced furious Soviet counter attacks.

In November 1941 Hitler ordered German forces to complete the final drive on the Soviet capital. Army Group Centre was pressed into the attack for one last attempt to break Soviet resistance before the onset of winter. From the German perspective the final drive on Moscow had all the ingredients of a dramatic final battle in the east, which, according to previous accounts, only failed at the gates of Moscow. David Stahel now challenges this well-established narrative by demonstrating that the last German offensive of 1941 was a forlorn effort, undermined by operational weakness and poor logistics. 2015,Cambridge Univ Press,ISBN9781107087606,<37006-01-G-04>

The Germans are running out of resources as Stalin carefully husbands his reserves for the decisive counterstroke.

XN-3140 ~ RISING SUN, FALLING SKIES ~ by Jeffrey Cox

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese offensive in the Far East seemed unstoppable. Allied forces engaged in a futile attempt to halt their rapid advance, culminating in the massed fleet of American, British, Dutch, and Australian forces clashing with the Japanese at the battle of the Java Sea. The Allied response was catastrophic, losing their largest warships and their tenuous toe-hold in the south Pacific within the first 72 hours of the battle. However, the Allied goal was never an outright victory, simply a delaying action. 2014, Osprey, ISBN 9781780967264,<37015-01-G-08> 487pp, 27

QS-1428 ~ ON POLITICAL WAR ~ by Paul A Smith and James A Baldwin

This study of political warfare in the Western world traces its development since antiquity. It emphasizes the role of political competition as a form of conflict and discusses the historical antecedents of our modern political rhetoric with specific application to the US/Soviet relationship. Smith's contention is that political warfare is often as crucial to national survival as the massing of great land, sea, or air power. 1989, National Defense Univ, ISBN 0756710138,<10803-01-J-01>

XN-3147 ~ OSPREY ELITE 206: SPETSNAZ - RUSSIA'S SPECIAL FORCES ~ by Mark Galeotti

When the shadowy, notorious Spetsnaz were first formed, they drew on a long Soviet tradition of elite commando forces. Throughout the 1960s and '70s they were instrumental in projecting Soviet power in the Third World and in suppressing resistance within the Warsaw pact. The author debunks several myths but uncovers truths that are often even more remarkable. Now, since the chaotic dissolution of the USSR and the two Chechen Wars, Russian forces have seen increasing modernization, involving them ever more in power-projection, counter-insurgency and anti-terrorism. This book is packed with details such as orders-of-battle and operational doctrine. 2015, Osprey, ISBN 9781472807229,<36930-01-L-07> A4 format,

But it was not just the technology that had to change. German U-boat tactics evolved over time. Used in a variety of roles, from coastal patrolling through to the combined actions of convey-hunting ‘wolf packs', the tactics used by U-Boats were diverse.

France had a population of nearly 25 million during Louis's reign, and maintained the largest standing army in Europe. In peacetime it amounted to about 200,000 men, but in times of war it could be anything up to half a million. A substantial part of

Louis's army consisted of numerous regiments of guard cavalry, heavy cavalry and dragoon regiments, which were considered the best and noblest formations. These units form the subject matter in this first of five fascinating volumes by René Chartrand covering the army of Louis XV. 1996, Osprey, ISBN 9781855326026,<36851-01-L-08> 49pp, b/w

In Louis's army the classification of 'French' infantry denoted troops recruited from men born and raised in France. These regiments were called, naturally enough, Infanterie Francaise as opposed to mercenary 'foreign' infantry recruited elsewhere. Making up the bulk of the army, all officers and men were to be of the Roman Catholic faith, the official state religion. Regimental recruiting parties went to towns and villages looking for likely young volunteers, inducing them to enlist with the usual promises - quick money, fast women, good wines and great glory. 2005, Osprey, ISBN 9781855326255,<36852-01-L-08> 48pp, b/w

On account of long-standing tradition as well as sheer numbers, the importance of foreign regiments in the French army had become considerable by the time of Louis XV. Since the Middle Ages, the rulers of France had called upon mercenaries from various neighbouring nations to form units which were often among the finest in the army. In this third volumes covering the army of Louis XV, René Chartrand examines the organisation and uniforms of the foreign infantry and artillery troops in a text containing a wealth of illustrations including eight full page colour plates by Eugène Lelièpvre. 2003, Osprey, ISBN 9781855326231,<36860-01-L-08> 48pp, b/w

The Spanish Civil War, 1936-39, was the curtain-raiser to World War II. It was the first great clash of 20th-century ideologies, between the rebel Nationalist army led by General Franco (aided by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy), and the Republican army of the government (aided by the Communist Soviet Union and volunteers from liberal democracies). The Nationalists secured victory and installed a right wing dictatorship.

The Spanish Civil War involved a complex collection of forces, particularly on the Republican side. This title illustrates how diverse the Republican forces were, drawn from loyal elements of the Spanish army that rejected the appeal of the rebel generals, a wide range of volunteer regional units and political militias, and supported by volunteers from many other countries, including Great Britain, France and Germany, in units known as the International Brigades. Featuring full-colour artwork, this second of a two-part study depicts the fighting men of the Republican forces and their foreign comrades. 2015, Osprey, ISBN 9781782007852,<36812-01-L-08> 48pp, 8

Throughout the wars undertaken by Frederick the Great, probably his greatest resource was his infantry. It is a mark of the king's determination that despite wars which almost destroyed both Prussia and its army (such as the Seven Years' War), he was able to maintain its numbers - even if the quality declined as the attritional campaigns took their toll.

XN-3158 ~ OSPREY WARRIOR 9: LATE ROMAN INFANTRYMAN AD 236-565 ~ by Simon MacDowall. Illustrator Gerry Embleton

Between the 3rd and 6th centuries AD the traditional legions of heavy infantry were whittled away and eventually replaced by a force of various arms and nationalities dominated by cavalry and supported by missile troops. However, in spite of this trend towards cavalry, the Pedes remained the backbone of the Roman Army until well into the 5th century. This book details a warrior who was very different from the legionary who preceded him; in many ways he was more flexible - ready for deployment to trouble spots, and for fighting both as a skirmisher and a heavy infantryman. 2008, Osprey, ISBN 9781855324190,<36850-01-L-09> 64pp b/w,

The fateful attack on Pearl Harbor forced the Western world to revise its opinion of Japan’s airmen. Before the war, Japanese aviators had been seen as figures of disdain, yet the ruthless skill and efficiency of their performance in December 1941 won them a new reputation. This book looks at the Naval airman, from the zenith of his wartime career until the turning of the tide. Cultural and social background, recruitment, training, daily life and combat experience are all covered.

XN-3159 ~ OSPREY ESSENTIAL HISTORIES 69: THE RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR ~ by David Bullock

The Russian Civil War was the most important civil war of the 20th century, changing the lives of over half a billion people and dramatically shaping the geography of Europe, the Far East and Asia. Over a four-year period 20 countries battled in a crucible that would give birth to Communist revolutions worldwide and the Cold War. The author offers a fresh perspective on this conflict, examining the forces involved, as well as the intervention by Allied forces. At the dawn of modern war, as cavalry duelled with tanks, aircraft, and armoured trains. 2008, Osprey, ISBN 9781846032714,<35376-02-L-10> 144pp,

During the Cold War the Soviet Army was perhaps the deadliest fighting force the world had ever seen. Within its mechanized forces the Soviets fielded a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG) that could keep pace with its heavy armored formations. This volume examines the design, development and operational history of the ZSU-37, ZSU-57-2, the ZSU-23-4, and the 9K22 Tunguska (better known by its NATO reporting name: SA-19 ‘Grison'). These vehicles excelled in their air defense role, and the US Department of Defense was dedicated to examining how to defeat the weapons and their radar tracking systems. These formidable weapons equipped Russian forces in Afghanistan and were encountered again in Iraq during Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. 2015, Osprey,ISBN 9781472806222,<36953-01-L-10> 48pp,

XN-3161 ~ OSPREY NEW VANGUARD 200: BRITISH BATTLESHIPS 1914-18 (1) ~ by Angus Konstam. Illustrator Paul Wright

The launch of HMS Dreadnought in 1906 changed the face of naval warfare. The first half-dozen dreadnoughts were all improvements of the basic design, carrying ten 12-inch guns. It was only in 1911, with the launch of HMS Neptune that the layout of this powerful armament was altered as a result of practical experience, and two more versions entered service later that same year. These nine improved dreadnoughts formed the core of the British High Seas Fleet. They would soon, however, be outclassed by a new breed of "super dreadnoughts”, the subject of the second volume in this two-part story. 2013, Osprey, ISBN 9781780961675,<36950-01-L-10> 48pp,

XN-3162 ~ OSPREY NEW VANGUARD 204: BRITISH BATTLESHIPS 1914-18 (2) ~ by Angus Konstam. Illustrator Paul Wright

In 1906, the Germans began building their own dreadnought fleet armed with larger guns, word of which soon reached the British Admiralty. This raised the spectre that the British dreadnought fleet would be outgunned, and prompted the Admiralty to order the building of their own "super dreadnoughts”. The first of these were laid down in 1909, and entered service three years later. Four more entered service in 1914. By then the Admiralty had developed a new programme of "fast battleships”, armed with 15-inch guns. World War I broke out before the Royal Navy had fully evaluated these new warships and their performance at the battle of Jutland led to a re-evaluation. Still, for four years they denied control of the sea to the enemy. 2013, Osprey, ISBN 9781780961705,<36952-01-L-10> 48pp,

The Gunfight at the OK Corral on 26 October 1881 is one of the most enduring stories of the Old West. It led to a series of violent incidents that culminated in the Vendetta Ride, in which Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and several other gunslingers went after their rivals, the Cowboys. Wyatt Earp, leader of the so-called "good guys”, was charged with stealing horses in the Indian Territory in 1870 and jumped bail. Becoming a buffalo hunter and gambler, he got into several scrapes and earned a reputation as a gunfighter.

In early May 1940, the fortress of Eben Emael was a potent sentinel over the Belgian-Dutch borderlands. The fortress covered 75 hectares on the surface, had 5km of tunnels underground and was studded with bunkers, gun turrets and casemates. Add a garrison of 1,200 men and the natural protection of 60m-high canal walls, and Eben Emael gave the impression of near-impregnability. Yet on 10 May just 78 elite airborne soldiers managed to defeat this fortress in an operation of unprecedented tactical skill.

By the beginning of World War I, the United States possessed the world's third largest navy, with ten dreadnoughts in service and four more under construction. By the end of World War II, the US Navy was the undoubted global superpower, despite initial crippling losses to at Pearl Harbor.

On May 2, 2011 a ten-year manhunt drew to a deadly end as the men of the US Naval Special Warfare Development Group (SEAL Team Six) closed in on their prey, Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 World Trade Center attack. Flown from Afghanistan by Army Special Operations Command's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, two US MH-X helicopters flew towards the compound where they believed Bin Laden to be. Forty minutes later one helicopter had crashed and five enemy were dead, including Bin Laden. In this book the story of the raid is told using specially commissioned full-colour artwork, photographs, and maps. The operation, codenamed Neptune Spear, is expertly analyzed and the events are told in a concise and clear account of its build-up, execution, and aftermath. 2014, Osprey, ISBN 9781472804082,<37042-01-L-10> A4 format,

After the 9/11 attacks in 2001, the Apache made significant contributions to the Coalition campaign against Taliban and al-Qaeda forces in Afghanistan. Functioning as the 'killer' part of US Army Hunter-killer teams, Apaches sought out and brought overwhelming firepower to bear on enemy forces, as well as providing direct support to Coalition troops on the ground. They then spearheaded the advance of the 3rd Infantry and the 101st airborne divisions into Iraq in 2003, engaging in some of the heaviest fighting along the western axis of advance. Weather and enemy fire took a heavy toll on Apaches operating in Iraq, but the resilience and flexibility of the aircraft was central to the success of this campaign. 2005, Osprey, ISBN 9781841768489,<36946-01-L-13> 96pp,

Although the Allied pilots were initially taken aback by the ability of the communist fighter in combat, sound training and skilful leadership soon enabled Sabre pilots to dominate the dogfights. Thirty nine F-86 pilots achieved ace status, and a number of these are profiled in this volume, as are notable pilots from the US Navy, Marine Corps and Royal Navy and, for the first time, the handful of MiG-15 aces.

Hurriedly designed at the end of 1917 just in time to take part in the German standard fighter competition in January/February 1918, the D VII easily won first prize. As Germanys premier fighter unit, von Richthofen's JG I (led by Hermann Göring in the wake of the 'Red Baron's' death) received the first examples of the D VII to reach the frontline in late April. Built to oppose the new generation of French SPAD XIIIs and British SE 5a and Camel fighters, the D VII was arguably the best all-round fighter of the Great War. 2003, Osprey, ISBN 9781841765334,<36796-01-L-13> 96pp, 14

In 1950 Soviet Air Force regiments were sent to train pilots of the People's Republic of China Air Force. China's involvement in the Korean War inevitably drew Soviet pilots into the war, with a total of 52 Soviet pilots scoring five or more victories there.

Initially developed as a transport, the aircraft evolved into a dedicated medium bomber during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. The manufacturer then produced the S.79-II torpedo-bomber which entered service in 1939. This primarily saw service against the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean.

From attacks by B-2 stealth bombers to air-to-air combat, and from moving ground troops by helicopter to 'food-bombing' for refugees, air power played a vital role in 'Europe's Vietnam.

Operating from aircraft carriers off the Korean coast, F9Fs helped stop the North Korean invasion within two weeks of the communists crossing the 38th Parallel. The Panthers took the battle all the way to the Yalu River, long before MiG-15s became a threat. The F9F's basic tasking was aerial supremacy and combat air patrols, but they also excelled in bombing and strafing attacks. 2014, Osprey, ISBN 9781782003502,<36934-01-L-13> 96pp,

The possibility of the USAF losing air supremacy over the Korean Peninsula was unacceptable. The 4th Fighter Wing was made up of a combination of new pilots just out of jet training and the older combat veterans of World War II. These pilots wrote and re-wrote the text books on jet warfare.

QS-1523 ~ A BUCKET OF SUNSHINE ~ by Mike Brooke

Life in a Cold War Canberra Squadron - 'A Bucket of Sunshine' was the term used for the use of a nuclear bomb. This is a firsthand insight into life in the mid-1960s on a RAF Canberra nuclear-armed squadron in West Germany. Mike Brookes describes not only the technical aspect of the aircraft and its nuclear and conventional roles and weapons, but also the low-level flying that went with the job of being ready to go to war at less than three minutes notice. Brooke tells his story warts and all, with many amusing overtones, in what was an extremely serious business when the world was standing on the brink of nuclear conflict. 2012, The History Press, ISBN 9780752470214,<34411-01-M-01>

XN-3178 ~ CARRIER OPERATIONS IN WORLD WAR II ~ by J. D. Brown. Editor David Hobbs

Between 1939 and 1945 the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm grew from a small force into a powerful strategic weapon.

QS-1532 ~ RED EAGLES ~ by Steve Davies

From the mid-1960s until the end of the Cold War, the US Air Force acquired and flew Russian-made MiG jets, eventually creating a secret squadron to expose American fighter pilots to the enemy aircraft they were likely to meet in combat.

The Nationalists fielded Heinkel, Fiat and Messerschmitt fighters, plus Heinkel, Caproni, Savoia-Marchetti, Junkers and Dornier bombers. The Republicans were equipped with Soviet-built Polikarpov, Nieuport, Hawker and Dewoitine fighters plus Potez and Tupolev bombers.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese offensive in the Far East seemed unstoppable. Allied forces engaged in a futile attempt to halt their rapid advance, culminating in the massed fleet of American, British, Dutch, and Australian forces clashing with the Japanese at the battle of the Java Sea. The Allied response was catastrophic, losing their largest warships and their tenuous toe-hold in the south Pacific within the first 72 hours of the battle. However, the Allied goal was never an outright victory, simply a delaying action. 2014, Osprey, ISBN 9781780967264,<37015-02-N-01> 487pp, 27

XN-3187 ~ FERDINAND AND ELEFANT TANK DESTROYER by Thomas Anderson

The largest and statistically most successful tank destroyer of World War II, the Ferdinand was a true behemoth. Although only 91 examples were built, it took a savage toll of Soviet armour in the Battle of Kursk and other operations on the Eastern Front. This study explores the technical development and combat deployment of this remarkable vehicle, from its' origins in the Porsche Tiger Tank through its deployment as the ‘Ferdinand' in the Citadel offensive, to its modification and redesignation as the ‘Elefant' and final use in the desperate Battle of Berlin. Drawing on original archival material and heretofore unpublished photographs this title is an essential illustrated history to one of the most famous armoured vehicles ever built. 2015, Osprey,9781472807212,<36903-01-P-01> Square format,

The Panzer Tracts Series

QS-1659 ~ PANZER TRACTS NO. 22-5: GEPANZERTER 8T ZUGKRAFTWAGEN & SFL.FLAK (SD.KFZ.7) ~ by Hilary Louis Doyle and Lukas Friedli

This new volume features peviously unknown facts about the armoured 8t built together with the 8,8cm Flak 18 bunker buster "Bunkerknacker". Until now Sfl. auf m.Zgkw. 8t half-tracked, self-propelled guns have simply been identified by weapon: eg. 2cm Flakvierling (Sd.Kfz.7/1) or 3,7cm Flak (Sd.Kfz.7/2). Now Panzer Tracts sets the record straight with descriptions of no less than 12 different Sfl.Flak variants. Also featured is the enlarged 8t Zgkw. (Sd.Kfz.7/6) created to carry the range finding equipment of the 8.8cm Flak Batterie, the Feuerleitpanzer, armoured control centre for launching A4 (V2) rockets, and the surprisingly widespread "Behelfspanzerung". Several Selbstfahrlafette auf m.Zgkw. 8t and all of the Flak guns have survived to the present day, enabling the team to create accurate drawings of each type. 21 pages of 1:35 scale drawings and over 100 clear large-format photos make this the ultimate reference on the gepanzerter Zugkraftwagen 8t (Sd.Kfz.7) and Flak Sfl. This is one of the last Panzer Tracts volumes co-authored by Tom Jentz who sadly passed away in December, 2012. 2014, Panzer Tracts, No ISBN,<36745-01-P-03> 86pp, 100+ b/w

QS-1660 ~ PANZER TRACTS NO. 3-1: PANZERKAMPFWAGEN III AUSF. A, B, C, AND D & KRUPP'S MKA ~ by Thomas L Jentz

The real history of Krupp’s MKA has also been included to dispel the erroneous belief that this export tank was a predecessor to the Pz.Kpfw.III. Component drawings from manuals have been precisely fitted together to create for the first time accurate four-view drawings of the Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.D and side views of the Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.A, B, and C. The book is packed with drawings and rare photos which correctly identify the external characteristics of each Ausfuehrung, including the five Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.D with Ausf.B turrets. 2006, Panzer Tracts, ISBN 0977164349,<33522-01-P-03> A4

QS-1693 ~ GENERALS: TEN BRITISH COMMANDERS WHO SHAPED THE WORLD ~ by Mark Urban

The story of ten exceptional soldiers who left their mark on Britain and the world. Some, like Wellington, Kitchener and Montgomery, are names etched in the national mythology. Others are obscure figures whose achievements or failures may have had consequences quite different to those they had intended, from the creation of the United States of America to the invention of Blitzkreig. All ten of the Generals revealed either a brilliant ability or a fatal flaw. While one became a Prime Minister, another was beheaded. Success or failure depended largely on their ability to work within Britain's Parliamentary democracy and against tyrants, despots and emperors who were often free to act alone. 2005, Faber & Faber, ISBN 0571224857,<33720-01-R-01> 336pp,

QS-1742 ~ THE EMPTY THRONE: THE QUEST FOR AN IMPERIAL HEIR TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA by Tony Scotland

The last Emperor of China died in 1967, leaving no children. But no Manchu Emperor, even a "reformed" one, ever dies without leaving an heir to carry out the obligatory rituals of ancestor worship and sacrifice at his tomb. The rules of the Ch'ing Dynasty required only that the heir should be a Manchu prince of the succeeding generation. This is a detective story, an imperial saga and a romance of modern China. As the author's quest unfolds, he fills in the historical background, while reflecting the changing face of modern China.

QS-1744 ~ GOING COMMANDO ~ by Mark Time

At 16, Mark Time wants to become either a geologist or a Royal Marines Commando. So which does he choose? Despite his love of basalt, he chooses the career that teaches him how to kill...and sh*t in plastic bags. Knowing his weak body will have to shape up to complete thirty weeks of commando training, Mark prepares for the Royal Marines by sleeping in his shed wearing only plastic bags. He braves pain by ordering his mate to attack him while trapped in a sleeping bag and starves himself in a stupid urban survival exercise. He is ready, some might say, for the asylum. Hilarious and yet shockingly sobering, this is the story of a boy who joins an elite military unit, with only naivety and incompetence equalling his will to succeed. 2015, John Blake Publishing, ISBN 9781784186449,<22032-01-X-
