World War I Companion2014 sees the centenary of the start of World War I, the so-called Great War – the war promised to end all wars. This four-year conflict saw the major powers of the world commit their forces on an unparalleled scale, principally in the trenches of the Western Front, but also throughout the world from the colonies of Africa to the Chinese city of Tsingtao.

This study consists of separate articles by 13 respected academics. Focussing on different aspects of the Great War, ranging from the war at sea, through the war in the east to the final offensives of 1918 while simultaneously revealing the technological race that transformed the battlefield, this is a wide-ranging companion to the first truly global conflict.

Secret WeaponsDeath rays, Doodlebugs and Churchill’s Golden Goose

Deep in the bunkers of Nazi Germany, many of the world’s top scientists worked to create a new generation of war winning super-weapons. A few of these, such as jet aircraft and the V2 rocket, became realities by the end of the war, but others never made it off the drawing-board. Written by noted research scientist, Brian Ford, this book charts the sometimes fearsome and often ridiculous history of secret weapons development by all the major powers during the war, from British radar to Japanese ray-guns, and explains the impact that these developments eventually had on the outcome of World War II and on the post-war world.

China’s WarsRousing the Dragon 1894–1949

By the end of the first decade of the 21st century, China had become one of the great powers of the modern world. Economically, politically and militarily, its power and international reach is only exceeded by the United States, the world’s one remaining superpower.

Its military spending, though dwarfed by the United States, is over $100 billion a year and it is developing an aircraft carrier, a stealth fighter jet and missiles that can shoot down satellites – all in an effort to project its power on a global scale. This is all a far cry from its position at the end of the 19th century, when it was a ramshackle medieval empire upon whom the European colonial powers could impose their wishes at will.

In this new study Philip Jowett traces the complicated military history of China during these pivotal years, describing in detail the conflicts that forged the modern superpower that is China today.

Don’t Hurry Me Down to HadesThe Civil War in the Words of Those who Lived Through It

Acclaimed Civil War historian Susannah J. Ural brings a fresh insight to the war. Her consummate narrative draws together different personal recollections to create a textured, detailed portrait of a nation at war with itself.

This unique examination of the Civil War looks at the desperate battles and the wider experiences wrought by the horrors of the conflict through excerpts from letters and diaries presenting the views of soldiers on the frontlines, commanders on the eve of battle, anxious families at home, ordinary and famous men and women, and slave and free. These first-hand accounts invite readers to set aside assumptions and learn about the divisions and range of opinions on both sides of this most bitter of contests.

Operation BarbarossaThe German invasion of Soviet Russia

Germany’s surprise assault on the Soviet Union in June 1941, Operation Barbarossa, was aimed at nothing less than the total destruction of the Soviet Union. Adolf Hitler saw this as the last vital step in establishing ‘Lebensraum’ for the German people in the East.

Three German Army Groups, supported by numerous European allies, poured across the Soviet border crushing all before them in a lightning campaign that threatened to eliminate all resistance and secure an easy victory. However, the vast resources and size of Soviet Russia forced the German armoured spearheads to slow and the advance finally ground to a halt within sight of Moscow itself. Hitler’s dream of a quick victory was destroyed, and the strain of fighting a war on two fronts eventually started to take its toll on the German war machine.

Operation Barbarossa tells the story of one of the definitive campaigns of World War II.

Wellington’s GunsThe Untold Story of Wellington and his Artillery, in the Peninsula and at Waterloo

Wellington was, without doubt, a brilliant field commander but his leadership style was abrupt and occasionally uncompromising, particularly when dealing with his artillery commanders.

He kept his artillery men at arm’s length, suspicious of their different chain of the command and of their selection through ability, rather than privilege.

Wellington’s Guns is the long overdue story of this often stormy relationship, the frustrations, the challenges, the characters and the achievements of the main protagonists as well as a detailed account of

the British artillery of this period.n Author Nick Lipscombe n Available October 2013 n ISBN 978 1 78096 114 9 n Price £25.00/ US $29.95/ CAN $34.00

The SBS in World War IIAn Illustrated History

The Special Boat Squadron (SBS) was Britain’s most exclusive Special Forces unit during World War II. Highly trained, secretive and ruthless, the SBS was established as an entity in its own right in early 1943, having previously operated under the SAS during the war in North Africa.

Led by men such as the famed Victoria Cross winner Anders Lassen, the SBS went from island to island in the Mediterranean, landing in the dead of night in small fishing boats and launching savage hit and run raids on the Germans.

By the end of the war they had served in Italy, the Balkans and mainland Greece, and following the cessation of hostilities their deeds were airbrushed out of history by an establishment that had never warmed to their piratical exploits. Through unrivalled access to the SBS archives and interviews with the surviving members of the unit, Gavin Mortimer has pieced together the dramatic exploits of this elite fighting force, illustrated throughout with rare, never-before-seen photos.n Author Gavin Mortimer n Available September 2013 n ISBN 978 1 78200 189 8 n Price £20.00/ US $25.95/ CAN $30.00 n Period World War 2 n Format Hardback, 256pp n Illustrations Fully illustrated in black and white

Deliver Us From DarknessThe Untold Story of Third Battalion 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment

during Market Garden

This follow-up to Tonight We Die As Men continues the story of the Third Battalion 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division – the sister company to the famous Band of Brothers – as they

dropped into Holland as part of Operation Market Garden. The subsequent 72-day campaign saw the 506PIR constantly on the move, defending various transport hubs around Eindhoven, desperately trying to

keep open ‘Hell’s Highway’. From there, the airborne troopers moved north to near Arnhem where they took up a new position around Betuwe. For two months, the Americans battled against German tanks, constant

artillery barrages and driving rain as they grimly held their ground, until the Germans finally abandoned the effort. Based on first-hand accounts numerous veterans, this book tells the story of many of America’s best

soldiers as they fought and died in Holland.n Author Ian Gardner n Available November 2013 n ISBN 978 1 78200 830 9 n Price £8.99/ US $16.95/ CAN $18.95

The Book of CamouflageThe Art of Disappearing

It seems obvious now, but wearing a bright red uniform whilst battling through a dreary African landscape or thick jungle is not terribly sensible. You tend to stand out. Particularly to

that bloke with a rifle standing on top of that hill over there…

Eventually common sense prevailed, and armed forces across the globe took inspiration from nature, discovering that blending into the background is a cunning way of escaping one’s

enemies. Camouflage was born. Since then a dizzying array of camouflage has been deployed in battle and The Book of Camouflage reveals some of the most famous patterns, from the German uniforms of World War II and the plain utilitarian patterns worn by grunts in Vietnam, right up to

the high-tech desert patterns worn by troops in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last decade.

British Paratrooper vs FallschirmjägerMediterranean 1942–43

The airborne forces of Britain and Germany were among their best troops of World War II and when they met in battle the result was a brutal trial of strength. British paratroopers and German Fallschirmjäger clashed repeatedly and their training, tactics, experience, morale and weaponry were tested against each other, not least in the three bruising encounters outlined here, in Tunisia and Sicily. From the British attempts to seize the airfields at Depienne and Oudna to the bloody night battle for Green Hill and the bitter struggle for Primosole Bridge in Sicily, these highly trained parachute troops would test themselves against each other, gaining experience, refining tactics and learning valuable lessons.

Featuring first-hand accounts, contemporary photos, detailed maps and specially commissioned artwork, including a split-screen ‘soldier’s eye view’ comparison piece, this book details the contrasting experiences of the opposing troops, from training and equipment through to combat, matching these elite troops against each other and analysing their effectiveness in the heat of battle.

Union Infantryman vs Confederate InfantrymanEastern Theater 1861–65

The enthusiastic but largely inexperienced soldiers serving on both sides in the Civil War had to adapt quickly to the appalling realities of warfare in the industrial age. Author Ron Field, an authority on the Civil War, investigates three clashes that illustrate the changing realities of infantry combat in America’s bloodiest conflict.

Pitched into combat after an exhausting march to reach the battlefield, newly recruited infantrymen of both sides clashed at First Bull Run/Manassas in 1861, which saw Union forces routed by the Confederates. Two years later, the outcome of the Civil War’s pivotal battle at Gettysburg hung in the balance as the Confederate veterans of Pickett’s Division mounted a set-piece attack on Union positions at ‘The Bloody Angle’. In 1864, African-American troops fighting for the Union took part in a bloody assault on formidable Confederate positions at Chaffin’s Farm/New Market Heights, outside Petersburg.

Featuring specially commissioned artwork, expert analysis and carefully chosen first-hand accounts, this absorbing study casts light on what it was like to take part in close-quarters battle during the Civil War, as increased infantry firepower and a growing reliance on prepared defensive positions spelled the end of close-order tactics in the conflict that shaped America.

French Guardsman vs Russian Jaeger1812–14

The Russian Jaeger regiments and Napoleon’s Young Guard clashed repeatedly during the campaigns of 1812–14. The Russian Jaeger were light infantry who gained enormous experience and prestige during the struggle to rid Europe of Napoleon’s armies, while the Young Guard was expanded to become the main strike force of the French field armies.

In appalling winter conditions in 1812, the Young Guard turned to confront their opponents, including spearhead Jaeger forces, at Krasnyi; in the face of constant bombardment, Young Guard regiments held off the Russians, covering the retreat of large parts of Napoleon’s forces. They clashed again at Leipzig in 1813 during the brutal struggle for the village of Güldengossa, and then again in the bitter cold at Craonne in 1814, where horrendous casualties finally told on the newly formed Young Guard units pitched into a premature attack upon Russian Jaeger regiments who then conducted a skilful fighting withdrawal.

Putting the reader in the shoes of the ordinary soldiers of both sides, this absorbing book employs specially commissioned artwork, expert analysis and carefully chosen first-hand accounts to trace the evolving trial of strength between Russia’s Jaeger arm and France’s Young Guardsmen at the height of the Napoleonic Wars.

British Infantryman vs Zulu WarriorAnglo-Zulu War 1879

The short but savage Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 pitched well-equipped but complacent British soldiers into combat with the Zulu, one of history’s finest fighting forces. The clashes between these two vastly different armies prompted rapid tactical innovation on both sides, as the British and their Zulu opponents sought to find the optimal combination of mobility, protection and firepower.

This engrossing study traces the changing face of infantry combat in the Anglo-Zulu War, focusing on three major engagements: the Zulu ambush at Nyezane, repulsed by the British using their established tactics; the shocking defeat and massacre of outmanoeuvred British forces in savage close-quarter fighting at iSandlwana; and the British victory at Khambula following their adoption of more condensed firing lines and prepared positions.

Featuring Osprey’s specially commissioned artwork, expert analysis and first-hand accounts, this book puts the reader in the front line amid the searing realities of a conflict that saw better-armed and -equipped European troops teeter on the edge of defeat at the hands of a proud African people.

Today, Hercules is best known for his ‘twelve labours’, a series of near-impossible tasks assigned to him as punishment for the killing of his wife and children.

We Will Destroy Your Planet An Alien’s Guide to Conquering the Earth

For over a hundred years, Aliens have been trying to take over the Earth, but every time they have failed, often in the most unlikely ways. Well, no more! We Will Destroy Your Planet offers our future alien overlords all of the information necessary to bring humanity to its knees. Planning for an interstellar, or even intergalactic, conquest is a complex affair, that even races which have mastered faster than light travel might find

difficult. This book offers practical, ‘how-to’ advice on a variety of topics including logistics, environmental factors, and of course human weaknesses. It also goes into

the big question of ‘why’ you want to destroy or enslave the Earth, as this is crucial in determining which strategy and tactics to employ. Once that has been determined,

the book follows a step-by-step approach to annihilating human resistance, suggesting the best and worst weapons, and giving guidelines on just how much destruction is

optimal. With this book in hand, there is little doubt that humans are now in their last generation as masters of the Earth.

The Knights Templar History, legend and conspiracy meet in the tales of the Knights Templar. Warriors, bankers, magicians and heretics, they were officially disbanded in 1314, but continue to influence the world to the present day. Within these pages, readers will discover not only the warrior monks of the Crusades, but also the legends and rumours of later ages.

What secret did the Templars uncover beneath the Temple of Solomon, and how did it make them so powerful that kings and Popes feared them? What is their link to the Holy Grail – and what is the Grail’s true nature? The answers to these and other questions are found here.

ACE 103

Ki-27 ‘Nate’ Aces The Ki-27 achieved its first successes during the ‘China Incident’. These were the glory days for the JAAF, and many of the successful 97 Sen pilots went on to become the outstanding leaders and veteran aces of the Pacific War. Initially facing more modern types of Allied fighter, the Nate was able to hold its own by exploiting its outstanding aerobatic qualities. Despite this, the Allies consolidated and began their fight back. By 1943, when nearing retirement, it was still being encountered in combat by Allied pilots – especially in the air defence role – and also found an important secondary role as an armed fighter trainer, equipping an important number of training units and flying schools. This book tells the complete story of this exceptional aircraft and its part in Japanese military history.

RAID 45

Killing Bin Laden – Operation Neptune Spear 2011 On May 2, 2011 a ten-year manhunt drew to a deadly end as the men of the US Naval Special Warfare Development Group (a.k.a. SEAL Team Six) closed in on their prey, Osama Bin Laden, the fanatical mastermind of the terrible attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, and founder of the world’s most lethal terrorist organization, al-Qaeda.

Flown from Afghanistan by Army Special Operations Command’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) and evading detection by the Pakistani military, two US helicopters flew towards the compound where they believed Bin Laden to be. Forty minutes later one helicopter had crashed and five people were dead, including the al-Qaeda leader, whose body was taken away and quietly buried at sea. In this book the story of the raid is told, from start to finish, using specially commissioned full-colour artwork, photographs and maps. The operation, codenamed Neptune Spear, is expertly analysed and the events are told in a concise and clear account of its build-up, execution and aftermath, demonstrating the skill and courage of the men who carried it out.
