A refreshingly novel history from three authors working together. Remarkably little attention is paid to one of the most important elements of military history. Logistics does not have the glamour of armies and combat but it has the capacity to lose battles and wars – Very Highly Recommended
From the start of war, to the German invasion of the Low Countries and France, there was a phony war, then Britain faced an enemy at the door. The author provides a fascinating account of Britain on the Home Front, from boredom, to fear of invasion, to the sense of victory to come – Very Highly Recommended
The unification of Germany was to destabilize European affairs in the late Nineteenth Century, making WWI inevitable and sowing the seeds for WWII. The author provides a very competent review of the way in which Germany responded to its defeat in WWI and how that presented the opportunities for Hitler and the NSDP to come to power, creating the inevitability of a new and terrible war – Very Highly Recommended
The very popular Images of War series has provided great experience for this new series, Image of Aviation. The authors have provided supportive text, captions and extended captions to complement the excellent selection of images. The main coverage is of the raid itself, including taking the bombers into range of their targets, but also provides a very good introduction and description of Doolittle’s experiences as an aviation pioneer before the war – Very Highly Recommended
Another addition to the very popular Images of War series, with a mass of outstanding and rare images. The author covers campaigns in Sicily and Italy as the Allies slogged their way North, using amphibious and airborne assault to bypass the German lines – Very Highly Recommended
Another addition to the very popular Images of War series, with a mass of outstanding and rare images. The author covers important early jet combat aircraft, most of which have not been covered well before – Very Highly Recommended
An enthralling review of the challenges of maintaining critical logistics in a mechanized war. The process of keeping combatants supplied is a strong component in the outcome of any battle but it a much under covered topic for historians – Very Highly Recommended
This is the most comprehensive English language review of the Petlyakov PE-2. Primarily a dive bomber, this successful design was also used in other roles including service as heavy fighter – Highly Recommended
A formidable account of Peiper, his career in WWII and his attitudes, from an author who has devoted more than 20 years to researching this SS Panzer commander. This is a warts and all account of a man in an environment that shaped him, Very, very different from the environment that many exist in today – Most Highly Recommended
The sinking of the Titanic has produced a wealth of books, articles, films and TV documentaries, all of which have given very little thought to the dependents and friends of those who lost their lives in this ocean tragedy. A moving and involving story that corrects this neglect, told by a descendant of a Titanic widow – Most Highly Recommended
