New catalogue: Spring New Titles
U-Boat Commander Oskar Kusch, Anatomy of a Nazi-Era Betrayal and Judicial Murder
The story of Oskar Kusch is not easy reading and a rare glimpse into the realities of the U-Boat service in the Nazi State. Much of the coverage of the war at sea and life in the U-Boat Service have concentrated on top U-boat aces, the strategy of Donitz to arms race and decryption of German codes, but there was so much behind all of that and some of it was very dark. – Very Highly Recommended.
Phantoms of a Beleaguered Republic. The Deep State and the Unitary Executive
The Trump Presidency was a huge shock to the Deep State Establishment that has ruled America since the Great Depression and there will be many books in the coming years that look at aspects of his legacy. Starting as a coffee table academic discussion, the authors have presented a combined view of Deep State and the Unitary Executive. – Recommended Reading
Holistic Command of War, Wellington, Spinola and Petraeus
This book has been derived from a doctoral thesis and contains some original thought in defining the concept of the holistic command of war. The text reads well and includes all of the supportive appendices and footnotes that the reader would expect. This form of book by a military professional is rare and highly informative, to satisfy both professionals and military enthusiasts. – Most Highly Recommended
Rome’s Third Samite War, 298-290BC, The Last Stand of the Linen Legion
The City State of Rome expanded into a great Empire at the expense of its neighbours. The author provides an absorbing account of the formative years of Rome with an enjoyable and informative presentation. – Very Highly Recommended
England France and Aquitaine, From Victory To Defeat In The Hundred Years War
The 100 Years War was fought because the English Kings had a firm claim to large parts of France. The English had a number of spectacular victories but this preoccupation with France held England back from greater opportunity. – Very Highly Recommended
