Cold War Secret Nuclear


Bunkers

Nick McCamley
"Nuclear Bunkers" tells the previously undisclosed story of the
secret defence structures built by the West during the Cold War
years.

The book describes in fascinating detail a vast umbrella of radar


stations that spanned the North American continent and the north
Atlantic from the Aleutian Islands through Canada to the North
Yorkshire moors, all centred upon an enormous secret control
centre buried hundreds of feet below Cheyenne Mountain in
Colorado. This is complemented in the United Kingdom with a
chain of secret radars codenamed 'Rotor' built in the early 1950's,
and eight huge, inland sector control centres, built over 100'
underground at enormous cost.

The book reveals the various bunkers built for the U.S
Administration, including the Raven Rock alternate war
headquarters (the Pentagon's wartime hideout), the Greenbrier
IMPRINT: Pen and Sword bunker for the Senate and House of Representatives, and the
Mount Weather central government headquarters amongst others.

Dartmouth
An Enchanted Place

Joslin Fiennes

Painting and sculpture, poetry and adventure, the present and the
past, the local and the cosmopolitan, all belong to this exploration
of the Dartmouth area. Extraordinary natural beauty is captured in
art going back to the 17th century; a multi-layered and often
glorious past is discovered behind modesty today. At the end of
the road, the area is a springboard to a highway by sea, and
modern yachtsmen sail off in the wake of kings and pilgrims,
crusaders and explorers, emigrants and invasion forces.

Much of the cultural heritage uncovered in this book is surprising


and new. John Masefield, Robert Graves, Flora Thompson and
Nevil Shute as well as Agatha Christie were inspired by the Dart;
with Queen Victoria came the Prince of Wales and his friends who
spawned little-known local inventors of marine engines, motor-
IMPRINT: Antique Collectors Club cars and gliders. The book displays Lucien Pissarro's pastoral
vision and publishes for the first time delicate sketches by Turner;

Female Executions

Geoffrey Abbott

The fairer sex gets it in the neck in these grisly tales from the

Pompeii
Under the Sign of Isis

Cinzia Dal Maso

The great Isis Temple, Egyptian style in house decoration, an


artificial canal reproducing the Nile in a villa - Isis and Egypt were
very dear to the Pompeian people.

During archaeological digs in Pompeii the remains of a young girl -


running from the eruption - were found; in her arms she was
clutching her silver statue of Isis. The first archaeological
discoveries in Pompeii, during the eighteenth century, were
integral in spreading one of the strongest fascinations with all
things Egyptian during modern times; the discoveries influenced
art, fashion, writers and sculptors across the globe. Pompeii was
an unavoidable stop in the Grand Tour and still remains essential
for any contemporary traveller especially fond of Egyptian

Sunni-Shi’a Divide
Islam’s Internal Divisions and Their
Global Consequences

Robert Brenton Betts


Until the attacks of September 11, 2001, few Americans knew
anything about Islam, let alone about the distinctions between
Sunni and Shi'a, the Sufi and Wahhabi, the origins of the Holy
Qur'an and Shari'a law, and the respect that all Muslims, even
secular ones, harbor for the prophet Muhammad, his family, and
Islamic traditions. In The Sunni-Shi'a Divide Robert Betts traces
the tortuous history of Islam's sectarian divisions, emphasizing the
most important one, the Shi'a departure from Sunni "orthodoxy."

Although the majority of Muslims remain faithful to the Sunni sect


of Islam, approximately 15 percent subscribe to the Shi'a creed.
As America's involvement in the Middle East drags on, Betts
reiterates that policymakers, scholars, and laymen alike must
understand the many faces of Islam, the internal forces in the
United States that brought us into these conflicts, and the role of
Israel in the region's escalating tensions. How the increasing
hostility between the two main Islamic factions plays out on the

Troy
City, Homer and Turkey

Gunay Uslu

There is no city in history more evocative than Troy. Since the


famous poet Homer wrote his Iliad and Odyssey in the 8th century
BC, many others have studied, reinterpreted, sung about and laid
claim for themselves to the city, the war between the Greeks and
the Trojans, and the famous Wooden Horse. Troy became a
legendary lieu de memoire, and thus a city of poetry, painting,
opera and film. But Troy actually existed as well: in 1871 the
German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann found the remains of
the city while excavating in Turkey. Archaeologists have exposed
the city's history since the end of the 19th century. Troy. City,
Homer and Turkey presents the latest insights and discoveries
relating to both the historical and the legendary Troy.

God in a Cup
The Obsessive Quest For the Perfect
Coffee

Michaele Weissman

Can a cup of coffee reveal the face of God? Can it become the
holy grail of modern-day knights errant who brave hardship and
peril in a relentless quest for perfection? Can it change the world?
These questions are not rhetorical. When highly prized coffee
beans sell at auction for $50, $100, or $150 a pound wholesale
(and potentially twice that at retail), anything can happen. In God
in a Cup, journalist and late-blooming adventurer Michaele
Weissman treks into an exotic and paradoxical realm of specialty
coffee where the successful traveller must be part passionate
coffee connoisseur, part ambitious entrepreneur, part activist, and
part Indiana Jones. Her guides on the journey are the nation's
most heralded coffee business hotshots--Counter Culture's Peter
Giuliano, Intelligentsia's Geoff Watts, and Stump-town's Duane
Sorenson. With their obsessive standards and fiercely competitive
baristas, these roasters are creating a new culture of coffee

Goodwood Revival
The First Ten Years

Dough Nye

The Goodwood Revival Meeting was established in 1998, exactly


50 years after the famous motor circuit in southern England first
opened, and now attracts more than 100,000 visitors each year to
Lord March's beautiful Goodwood estate. This gripping book
celebrates the first 10 years of the Revival, which, for three days
each September, re-creates in astonishing detail and with
dramatic panache not only the motor racing of the years up to
1966, but also the magical ethos, glamorous social scene and
charming customs of that bygone era. Dynamic eyewitness
accounts by such virtuoso drivers as Sir Stirling Moss, Sir Jackie
Stewart and John Surtees add colour and humour to the
extraordinary story of the Goodwood circuit, while spectacular
vintage and contemporary photographs of the cars and stars offer
a magnificent commemoration of this unique event that relives the

Beneath an Irish Sky

Isabella Connor

‘Beneath An Irish Sky’ is a family drama, with elements of


romance and mystery. It is set in a small village in the north of
England, but also features locations in the south of Ireland.

The past is never over …

Jack Stewart thought he'd put the past behind him. On the
surface, he has everything - success, money, a big house and he
is never short of an attractive woman by his side, but a tragic road
accident shatters his world.

Raised as an Irish Traveller, Luke Kiernan hasn't had it easy, and


when he wakes in a Dublin hospital to find the man he's hated
since childhood at his bedside, he's hungry for revenge.

Two very different worlds collide, bringing new dangers, exposing


past deceits, and unearthing dark family secrets buried long ago.

Beverley Eikli

Can honour and action banish the shadows of old sins?

Emily Micklen has no option after the death of her loving fiancé,
Jack, but to marry the scarred, taciturn, soldier who represents her

Major Angus McCartney is tormented by the reproachful slate-grey

Saturn

Jack Dehnel

“Saturn” is a fictionalised version of the personal life of the great


Spanish Painter Goya. The story is narrated by Goya, his son
Javier and his grandson Mariano. The deeply flawed relationship
between the three generations produce an atmosphere of
psychological tension. The story is built around the theory that
Goya's horrific series of Black Paintings were in fact the work of
his son Javier, and were Javier's way of expressing his feelings
about his father. Each of the paintings features as an illustration
within the book.

The Reichsbank Robbery


Colin Roderick Fulton

In February 1945 the US Air Force launched their largest day time
bombing raid on Berlin, dropping over 2,250 tons of bombs on the
German capital. The Reichsbank, Germany's state bank, received 21
direct hits. This left the building badly damaged, its vaults unsafe and
most of its contents at risk.

The German authorities made the decision to take most of the


Reichsbank's treasure away and hide it for safekeeping. Some $200M US
in gold bars, weighing around 200 tons, plus paper currency reserves, as
well as a great deal of foreign currency (approximately $4 million in US
currency alone – worth $4B US in today's money), was sent in trains from
Berlin to secret hiding places around the Reich. Some of this loot was
placed in a salt mine at a place called Merkers where it was captured by
the US Army.

After this disaster, the Germans spent the last six weeks of the war
transferring their remaining bullion and currency reserves around what
remained of the Reich in armoured trains; an area that included parts of
northern Italy, Czechoslovakia, Austria and Germany, looking for
somewhere safe. Much of this treasure disappeared. It was stolen or
captured, mainly by American troops and the SS.

Colin Fulton has woven a plot around one such robbery that includes the
IMPRINT: Claymore Press secret German squadron KG200 that flew captured allied aircraft,
ISBN: 9781781590782 renegade Russian soldiers and a group of desperate Germans all anxious

'A dramatic, moving and intensely romantic story.'


Trisha Ashley.

As you can probably guess from their name, Choc Lit - publishers
of romantic women’s fiction - draw a direct parallel between
indulging in chocolate and reading one of their novels. It’s an
analogy that could easily be cloying; but Margaret James’s novel,
with its surprisingly graphic scenes set in the trenches and
hospital wards of World War I, cuts through some of the potential
saccharine sweetness. More of a coffee-flavoured dark chocolate
truffle, perhaps?

Air Mobility
A Brief History of the American
Experience

Robert C Owen

Global air mobility is an American invention. During the twentieth


century, other nations developed capabilities to transport supplies
and personnel by air to support deployed military forces. But only
the United States mustered the resources and will to create a
global transport force and aerial refuelling aircraft capable of
moving air and ground combat forces of all types to anywhere in
the world and supporting them in continuous combat operations.
Whether contemplating a bomber campaign or halting another
surprise attack, American war planners have depended on
transport and tanker aircraft to launch, reinforce, and sustain
operations.

Air mobility has also changed the way the United States relates to
the world. American leaders use air mobility to signal friends and
enemies of their intent and ability to intervene, attack, or defend

Armoured Warfare in the


Arab-Israeli Conflicts
(Images of War Series)

Anthony Tucker-Jones

The latest volume in Anthony Tucker-Jones' series of books on


armoured warfare in the Images of War series is a graphic
account of the development of armoured forces in the Arab and
Israeli armies from 1948 to present day. In a sequence of over 200
archive photographs he tells the story of the prominent,
sometimes decisive, role armour played in Arab-Israeli conflicts
over the last 60 years, from the initial battles of 1948, through the
Suez Crisis, the Six Day War, the Yom Kippur War, the Israeli
invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the Israeli attack on Hamas in
Gaza in 2008.

As the photographs show, an extraordinary range of Second


World War and post-war tanks, armoured cars and armoured
personnel carriers was deployed by all sides. Russian T-34s, SU-

The Black Experience in


the Civil War South

Stephen Ash

Large numbers of slaves worked for the Confederate war effort as wagon
drivers, munitions factory workers, and officers' body servants. But
contrary to popular wisdom, the number that actually bore arms for the
Confederacy was negligible.

“The Black Experience in the Civil War South” is the first comprehensive
study of the Southern blacks' wartime experience to appear in a
generation. Incorporating the most recent scholarship, this thematically
organised book does justice to the richness of its subject, looking at the
lives of black men, women, and children in the Confederate states and
the non-seceding Southern states; at blacks on farms and plantations and
in towns and cities; and at blacks employed in industry and the military.

Drawing on memoirs, autobiographies, and other original source


materials, the author details the experiences of blacks who took up
residence in Union "contraband camps" and on free-labour plantations
and those who enlisted in the Union army. Most significantly, this
IMPRINT: Potomac Books revealing study deals not only with those who gained freedom during the
war but also with those whose freedom came only after the conflict's end.

The Bloody Fields of


Waterloo

Michael Crumplin

Michael Crumplin needs no introduction as surgeon and an


authority on medical matters of the Napoleonic Wars. Despite a
few anecdotes, little enough is known about the medical staff
present and the challenges they faced at the Battle of Waterloo on
18 June 1815. This study begins with a brief overview of the
principal battle of the 1815 campaign, with medical commentary,
where appropriate. After this, the next two chapters give a short
outline of the ranking and types of medical staff are given with
their responsibilities. There was one notable visitor to Brussels
after Waterloo, Britain's only (Regius) Professor of Military Surgery
in Edinburgh, John Thomson, who toured the Belgium hospitals
after the battle and wrote a valuable report on his findings among
the wounded. The fourth chapter concerns Thomson's visit and is
annotated. This is followed by chapters containing a collection of
IMPRINT: Casemate (largely British Army) medical anecdotes relating to wounded
officers and men, some better known than others. These precede

British Naval Swords &


Swordsmanship

John McGrath
Mark Barton

This new publication is intended to bring together a mass of


research dealing with all aspects of British naval swords. Unlike
the much sought after Swords and Sea Service by May and Annis,
this work offers a far broader coverage and, for the first time, the
complete story of swords and swordsmanship is presented in one
concise volume. While the swords themselves are described the
authors also tell the story of naval swordsmanship. For example,
subjects such as how swords and cutlasses were used in action
and how training was conducted are covered. The authors also
address how the use of swords developed into a sport in the Navy,
and how swords and swordsmanship entered naval symbology in
such areas as ships' names. Many current myths are addressed
and corrected, and the story is brought right up to date with
IMPRINT: Seaforth information on the sport from the 1948 to 2000. While the book
concentrates on the Royal Navy, foreign weapons are included

A Century of Air Warfare


The Changing Face of Warfare
1912-2012

Dave Slogget

No other technical development since the introduction of


gunpowder has had as great an influence on warfare as the
aircraft. From its early beginnings as simply a means of aerial
reconnaissance to its utter supremacy on the battlefield, the
aircraft has evolved into the most versatile and precise killing
machine known to man.

In this wide-ranging and comprehensive study, David Sloggett, an


internationally-respected defence analyst, investigates the
changing role and increasing significance of air power over the
course of the previous 100 years. This is accomplished by
detailing every major conflict during that period including not only
the two world wars and the recent conflicts in the Middle East but
also the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Falklands War
and Russian use of air power in Afghanistan. Air power's role in
IMPRINT: Pen & Sword Malaya, Oman, Kenya and in Northern Ireland is also explained.

The Civil War in the East


Struggle, Stalemate and Victory

Brooks D Simpson

For all the literature about Civil War military operations and
leadership, precious little has been written about strategy,
particularly in the eastern theatre. The Civil War in the East takes
a fresh look at military operations in this sector and the
assumptions that shaped them.

With opposing capitals barely a hundred miles apart and with the
Chesapeake Bay–Tidewater area offering Union generals the
same sorts of opportunities that Confederate leaders sought in the
Shenandoah Valley, geography shaped military operations in
fundamental ways. Presidents, politicians, and the press peeked
over the shoulders of military commanders, some of whom were
not reluctant to engage in their own intrigues as they promoted
their own fortunes.

The location of the respective capitals raised the stakes of victory


and defeat. At a time when people viewed war in terms of decisive
IMPRINT: Potomac Books battles, the anticipation of victory followed by disappointment and

The Collapse of Rome

Gareth C Sampson

By the early first century BC, the Roman Republic had already
carved itself a massive empire and was easily the most powerful
state in the Mediterranean. Roman armies had marched
victoriously over enemies far and wide, but the Roman heartland
was soon to feel the tramp of armies on campaign as the Republic
was convulsed by civil war and rival warlords vied for supremacy,
sounding the first death knell of the Republican system. At the
centre of the conflict was the rivalry between Marius, victor of the
Jugurthine and Northern wars, and his former subordinate, Sulla.
But, as Gareth Sampson points out in this new analysis, the
situation was much more complex than the traditional view
portrays it and the scope of the First Civil War both wider and
longer. This narrative and analysis of a critical and bloody period
in Roman history will make an ideal sequel to the author's Crisis of
Rome (and a prequel to his first book, The Defeat of Rome).

Convoy Will Scatter


The Full Story of Jervis Bay and
Convoy HX84

Bernard Edwards

On 5 November, 1940 the eastbound convoy HX 84 of thirty-


seven merchant ships, escorted by the armed merchant cruiser
HMS Jervis Bay was attacked in mid-Atlantic by the German
pocket battleship Admiral Scheer. The Jervis Bay, commanded by
Captain Edward Fegen, charged at the enemy. Hopelessly out-
gunned, she was blown out of the water by the Scheer's 11-inch
guns. Meanwhile, led by HX 84's commodore ship, the Cardiff
tramp Cornish City, the merchantmen scattered under the cover of
a smoke screen, were picked off one by one by the radar-
equipped Admiral Scheer. Captain Hugh Pettigrew, commanding
the highly armed Canadian Pacific cargo liner Beaverford, began a
desperate game of hide and seek with the Scheer, which
continued until Beaverford was sunk with no survivors. Thanks to
this sacrifice, incredibly only four other merchantmen were sunk.
Later the neutral flag Swedish freighter Stureholm, commanded by
IMPRINT: Pen & Sword Captain Olander, picked up survivors from the Jervis Bay. Without
this brave and dangerous gesture no one would have lived to tell

The Defence and Fall of


Greece 1940-41

John Carr

On 28th October 1940, the Greek premier, Ioannis Metaxis,


refused to accept a deliberately provocative ultimatum from
Mussolini and Italian forces began the invasion of Greece via
Albania. This aggression was prompted by Mussolini's desire for a
quick victory to rival Hitler's rapid conquest of France and the Low
Countries. On paper, Greek forces were poorly equipped and ill-
prepared for the conflict but Mussolini had underestimated the skill
and determination of the defenders. Within weeks the Italian
invasion force was driven back over the border and Greek forces
actually advanced deep into Albania.

A renewed Italian offensive in March 1941 was also given short


shrift, prompting Hitler to intervene to save his ally. German forces
invaded Greece via Bulgaria on 6 April. The Greeks, now assisted
IMPRINT: Pen & Sword by British forces, resisted by land, sea and air but were
overwhelmed by the superior German forces and their blitzkrieg
ISBN: 9781781591819 tactics. Despite a dogged rearguard action by Anzac forces at the
BINDING: Hardback famous pass of Thermopylae, Athens fell on the 27th April and the

Disaster at D-Day
The Germans Defeat the Allies,
June 1944

Peter Tsouras

It is June 1944. The Allied armies are poised for the full-scale
invasion of Fortress Europe. Across the Channel, the vaunted
Wehrmacht lies waiting for the signs of invasion, ready for the final
battle.

What happens next is well-known to any student of modern


history. The outcome could easily have been very different, as
Peter Tsouras shows in this masterful and devastating account in
which plans, missions and landings go horribly wrong.

Tsouras firmly bases his narrative on facts but introduces minor


adjustments at the opening of the campaign - the repositioning of
a unit, bad weather and misjudged orders - and examines their
effect as they gather momentum and impact on all subsequent
events. Without deviating from the genuine possibilities of the
IMPRINT: Frontline situation, he presents a scenario that keeps the reader guessing
and changes the course of history.

Pioneers of Aerial Combat


Air Battles of the First World War

Michael Foley

When the Wright Brothers made their first flight in the early years
of the twentieth century it sparked the imagination of those who
wanted to fly, both in their country and around the world. In Britain,
however, the spark wasn't strong enough to light a fire and it was
in other parts of Europe, notably France, where flight began to
develop seriously.

Early pioneers of flight faced a high level of danger and many died
in pursuit of fulfilling their dream. Although aircraft design had
made incredible progress by the time of the outbreak of war,
accidents still occurred on a regular basis. For some time, as
many pilots died in accidents as they did in combat.

This publication consolidates a range of stories, insights, and facts


that, when combined, offer a vivid impression of events as they
unfolded. The chaos stirred up during the First World War and the
scramble to develop aircraft in response to the threat to homeland
IMPRINT: Pen & Sword security is eloquently relayed, as are the battles that characterized

Predators
The CIA’s Drone War on al Qaeda

Brian Glyn Williams

“Predators” is a riveting introduction to the murky world of Predator and


Reaper drones, the CIA's and U.S. military's most effective and
controversial killing tools. Brian Glyn Williams combines policy analysis
with the human drama of the spies, terrorists, insurgents, and innocent
tribal peoples who have been killed in the covert operation—the CIA's
largest’ assassination campaign since the Vietnam War era—being
waged in Pakistan's tribal regions via remote control aircraft known as
drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles.

Having travelled extensively in the Pashtun tribal areas while working for
the U.S. military and the CIA, Williams provides a detailed exploration of
the new technology of airborne assassinations. From miniature Scorpion
missiles designed to kill terrorists while avoiding civilian "collateral
damage" to prathrais, the cigarette lighter–size homing beacons spies
plant on their unsuspecting targets to direct drone missiles to them, the
author describes the drone arsenal in full.

Evaluating the ethics of targeted killings and drone technology, Williams


covers more than a hundred drone strikes, analysing the number of slain
civilians versus the number of terrorists killed to address the claims of
IMPRINT: Potomac Books anti-drone activists. In examining the future of drone warfare, he reveals
ISBN: 9781612346175 that the U.S. military is already building more unmanned than manned

The Rocky Road to the


Great War
The Evolution of Trench Warfare to
1914

Nicholas Murray

Nicholas Murray's "The Rocky Road to the Great War" examines


the evolution of field fortification theory and practice between 1877
and 1914. During this period field fortifications became
increasingly important, and their construction evolved from
primarily above to below ground. The reasons for these changes
are crucial to explaining the landscape of World War I, yet they
have remained largely unstudied.

The transformation in field fortifications reflected not only the


ongoing technological advances but also the changing priorities in
the reasons for constructing them, such as preventing desertion,
protecting troops, multiplying forces, reinforcing tactical points,
providing a secure base, and dominating an area. Field
fortification theory, however, did not evolve solely in response to
IMPRINT: Potomac improving firepower or technology. Rather, a combination of those
ISBN: 9781597975537 factors and societal ones—for example, the rise of large conscript
armies and the increasing participation of citizens rather than
BINDING: Hardback subjects—led directly to technical alterations in the actual
EXTENT: 320 pages construction of the fieldworks. These technical developments
arose from the second wave of the Industrial Revolution in the late
DIMENSIONS: 150 x 230mm nineteenth century that provided new technologies that increased
the firepower of artillery, which in turn drove the transition from

Russia and Germany, the victorious Allies had crossed the River
with an intention to put an end to a long-standing conflict with
Imperial France.

This book is the first title to bring together dozens of letter, diaries
and memoirs of Russian participants of the 1814 Campaign.
Reading these documents we see both what Russian officers and
soldiers experienced during the final months of the three year-long
campaign as well as their joy at winning the war over Russia’s
most dangerous enemy. We follow them not only through the heat

The WWI Cemeteries of Ypres Salient
and West Flanders

Wayne Evans
Staf Schoeters

During the First World War, from 1914-1918, Belgium was at the

massive loss of life.

“Silent Cities of Flanders Fields” honours these valiant men, and


depicts the history of the 230 war cemeteries around Ypres, in the
Salient and the rest of West Flanders.

The most significant graves are described and illustrated, with


each grave sorted by cemetery. The stories of the most famous
IMPRINT: Lannoo soldiers are highlighted in separate frameworks, giving the history

The War of the Three


Gods
Heraculius II and the End of
Antiquity

Peter Crawford

“The War of the Three Gods” is a military history of the first half of
seventh century, with heavy focus on the reign of the Eastern
Roman Emperor Heraclius (AD 610-641). This was a pivotal time
in world history as well as a dramatic one. 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 to usher
in a new era.

Peter Crawford skilfully narrates the three-way struggle between


IMPRINT: Pen & Sword the Christian Byzantine, Sassanid Persian and Islamic empires, a

Wellington’s Rifles

Ray Cusick

Until now there has not been a serious study of the rifle-armed
regiments of the British Army that earned such renown in the
Peninsular and Waterloo campaigns. Compiled by a former
rifleman, Ray Cusick, who has written extensively on the subject,
Wellington's Rifles examines the new rifle regiments, how they
came about, their development and their actions.

The author also investigates the introduction of rifled muskets into


the British Army in the French and Indian wars of the eighteenth
century, where they were shunned by the military establishment,
to their transition into a key element in Wellington's extraordinarily
successful Peninsular army.

The training and tactics of the riflemen are explained and each
significant engagement in which they were involved is explored in
thrilling detail. It was the riflemen of the 95th Regiment that
inspired the series of Sharpe books and films. That was the fiction;
IMPRINT: Pen & Sword this is the reality.

Alexander P de Severesky
And the Quest for Air Power

James K Libbey

Today, air power is a vital component of the U.S. armed forces. James
Libbey, in Alexander P. de Seversky and the Quest for Air Power,
highlights the contributions of an aviation pioneer.

Graduating from the Imperial Russian Naval Academy at the start of


World War I, de Seversky lost a leg in his first combat mission. He still
shot down thirteen German planes and became the empire's most
decorated combat naval pilot.

While serving as a naval attache in the United States in 1918, de


Seversky elected to escape the Bolshevik Revolution and offered his
services as a pilot and consulting engineer to the U.S. War Department.
He proved inventive both in the technology of advanced military aircraft
and in the strategy of exercising air power. He worked for famed aviation
advocate Gen. William "Billy" Mitchell, who encouraged the naturalised
citizen to patent his inventions, such as an in-flight refuelling system and
a gyroscopically synchronized bombsight. His creative spirit then spurred
him to design and manufacture advanced military aircraft.
IMPRINT: Potomac Books When World War II broke out in Europe, de Seversky became America's

A Life of
Vice-Admiral Sir John Collins

A K MacDougall

One of the first intake of teenage cadet-midshipmen to enter the


new Royal Australian Naval College, in 1913, John Collins was
early recognised as a brilliant officer with remarkable gifts. As
captain of the light cruiser HMAS Sydney in the Mediterranean in
1940, Collins and his ship achieved fame, surviving 88 actions
without the loss of a single man. Appointed Commodore, Collins
won further distinction in the battles to save Singapore and Java
and became in 1944 the first Australian - and Australian-trained -
officer to command Australia's naval forces, surviving cruel
wounds from kamikase attack off the Philippines to become the
first RANC officer to serve as Chief of Naval Staff (1948-55) and to
reach the high rank of Vice-Admiral. He had become the Navy's
indispensable man and his success continued after retirement
when he served as a popular Australian high commissioner to
New Zealand. Sir John Collins lived to the age of ninety after a life

Eager for Glory


The Untold Story of Drusus the

Conqueror of Germania

Lindsay Powell

Drusus the Elder (Nero Claudius Drusus) was regarded by the


Romans as the first conqueror of Germania (western Germany)
and a hero in the mould of Alexander the Great. Yet there has
never been a full volume dedicated to his remarkable story,
achievements and legacy. “Eager for Glory” brings this heroic
figure back to life for a modern audience.

Drusus was a stepson of Augustus, the first Roman emperor,


through his marriage to Livia. As a commander he led daring
campaigns by sea and land that pushed the northern frontiers of
Rome's empire to the Elbe River. He oversaw one of the largest
developments of military infrastructure of the age. He married
Mark Antony's daughter, Antonia, and fathered Germanicus, the

A Home on the Rolling


Main
A Naval Memoir 1940-1946

A G F Ditcham

From first joining the Royal Navy in 1940 until the end of the
campaign against Japan, Tony Ditcham was in the front line of the
naval war. After brief service in the battlecruiser Renown off
Norway and against the Italians, he went into destroyers and saw
action in most European theatres - against S-boats and aircraft in
'bomb alley' off Britain's East Coast, on Arctic convoys to Russia,
and eventually in a flotilla screening the Home Fleet. During the
dramatic Battle of the North Cape in December 1943 he was
probably the first man to actually see the Scharnhorst and from his
position in the gun director of HMS Scorpion enjoyed a grandstand
view of the sinking of the great German battleship (his account
was so vivid that it formed the basis of the description in the
official history). Later his ship operated off the American beaches
during D-Day, where two of her sister ships were sunk with heavy

at Oxford in 1817 to fight against the Spanish Empire that had
ruled Latin America for 300 years. It is also the story of the little
known British Legion, formed of English and Irish volunteers,
which became an integral part of Simon Bolivar's patriot army. The
British Legion played a crucial role in training the patriot forces to
face Spanish troops battle-hardened in the Peninsular Wars. With
the words 'Liberty or Death!' emblazoned on a black banner,
Bolivar set out to liberate Venezuela, and indeed, South America.
For the bold and the idealistic, his quest was the stuff of dreams,
and in England there had never before been such intense interest
in the destiny of the Spanish colonies. Bolivar's exploits were
reported assiduously in the English press, so much so that the
Spanish authorities called it 'a South American mania.' Bolivar

100 Years War


Agincourt 1415
DVD FIRM SALE

Presented by Mike Peters,


Andrew Duff, Tim Saunders

On October 25, 1415, Henry V's small and dispirited Anglo/Welsh


Army destroyed a vast French Army at Agincourt. This program
looks at not just this iconic battle immortalised by Shakespeare
and many other authors but the campaign that led up to this final
great English victory of the 100 Years War when the Yeoman of
England reigned supreme on the field of battle.

Unlike the Crecy campaign of his great grandfather, Edward III this
campaign nearly ended in disaster. England had been weakened
by civil war and plague. Henry's English Army did not have the
experience and leadership of that of his great grandfather however
it despite its weaknesses it still was to prove superior to the over
IMPRINT: Pen & Sword DVD proud French Army riven with jealousy and pride. Although the
FIRM SALE initial landings and encirclement of Harfleur went well the siege
dragged on and the "Bloody Flux" the scourge of many a medieval

DIMENSIONS: 135 x 190 mm Harfleur the army that was left was a shadow of its former self.
Henry's attempts to march to Calais were beset with problems as
CATEGORY: Military the French Army stalked him aiming to bring him to battle and
RELEASE DATE: JULY 2013 destroy him and his socially inferior army.

PRICE : $44.99 Once again, the English victory on the field of Agincourt was a
demonstration of the French genetic ability to snatch defeat from
the jaws of victory. As at Crecy the courage, discipline and

5AQKCER*gcadcj+ steadfastness of the mainly yeoman Anglo/Welsh aided by the use


of the longbow turned the massive and magnificent French Army,
into a bloody ruin.

This victory would allow him to achieve his political aim; however,
it was only Henry's early death in 1422, which stopped the English
in uniting England and France under an English King.

In this program, the BHTV team uses their experience as soldiers


and guides to bring this iconic campaign to life. The team
examines the political, military and economic background to the
campaign and brings the subject to life by visits to all the major
locations, skillful use of maps and complimented by re-enactment
footage and vignettes of life and combat in 1415.

SAS Operation Bulbasket


DVD FIRM SALE

Presented by Tim Saunders, Tom Dormer,


Andrew Duff and Andy Johnson

In the run-up to D Day the Allies did not trust the French
Resistance to delay one of Hitler's most powerful SS panzer
divisions from reaching the scene of the Normandy invasion at a
decisive moment. Consequently, they deployed the SAS, newly
returned from the Mediterranean where this novel unit had won its
spurs. This story weaves four separate strands together to make
an intriguing, multifaceted and dramatic account: the Resistance
Operations (more effective and costly that the Allies expected), the
bloody march north of the Das Reich, the RAF's precision
bombing operations and of course the SAS themselves.

Our team of experts visit the places where the events took place
including the scene of the massacre at Oradour-sur-Glane the

Gundogs
Their Past, Their Performance and
Their Prospects

David Hancock

This book is about gundogs, those ever-willing companions of


both sportsmen and discerning dog owners. Gundogs is not a
manual covering training, grooming, nutrition and dog care; it is
very much a celebration of the gundog's contribution to the
sporting and companion dog scene, an examination of their past,
their performance and their prospects in an increasingly urban
society. Painstakingly researched, it covers the well-known
recognized breeds and the more obscure ones from overseas,
some quite unknown to the British public.

David Hancock's earlier books have been highly praised, as have


his many articles in sporting magazine in the last thirty years.
When reviewing one of his previous books, the revered writer on
sporting dogs, the late Brian Plummer, described it as a
'masterpiece'. Reviewing his Sporting Terriers, Dogs in Canada
IMPRINT: Crowood Books magazine stated that it 'has the quality of a classic'. A reviewer of
his last book, Sighthounds, stated that 'Hancock's work provokes
ISBN: 9781847974921
thinking in the reader the way a good discussion stimulates and
BINDING: Hardback refreshes our minds.' A Canadian reviewer of another of his books
gave the view that David Hancock is 'perhaps the most important

Ivory, Horn and Blood

Ronald Orenstein

As recently as ten years ago, out of every ten African elephants that died,
four fell at the hands of poachers. The figure today is eight. Rhinoceroses
are being slaughtered throughout their ranges. The Vietnamese one-
horned rhinoceros is extinct, the western black rhino is now believed to be
extinct, and the northern white rhinoceros, the largest of them all, survives
- only precariously - in captivity. This alarming book tells a crime story that
takes place thousands of miles away, in countries that few of us may visit.
But like the trade in illegal drugs, the traffic in elephant ivory and
rhinoceros horn has far-reaching implications not only for these
endangered animals, but also for the human victims of a world-wide surge
in organized crime, corruption and violence.

Among the topics explored are: Ivory and Luxury; Rhino Horn and
Medicine; What Makes Poachers Poach?; CITES (The Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora); The
Ivory Crisis and the Ban; Rhinos Under Guard; Coming to Grips with
Poaching.

Sharks
Ancient Predators in a Modern Sea
Jorgensen Salvador

New insights into the world's most-feared predator

Sharks are exquisite creatures refined and honed by competitive


forces that have lived in balance with ocean prey for millions of
years. They live in every ocean habitat on Earth, from shallow tide
pools to the deep abyss, and from the open ocean to where rivers
meet the sea. In Sharks a top research scientist explores what has
made sharks such successful predators, how they differ from other
animals in their biological success and what unique advantages
evolution has conferred. Sharks is illustrated with uniquely
sourced photography demonstrating newly observed behaviour,
scientific findings and recent developments in our understanding
of how they live. Sharks is both a spectacular visual celebration,
and a scientific document that explores in detail their unique
physiology.

A powerful swimming stroke is delivered from sharks' muscles


directly to their tough skin shell forcing their body to 'inflate' like a
car tyre with each flex, then quickly become fluid to glide as the
IMPRINT: Firefly Books muscles relax. By diving through the various water layers, a shark
may locate and follow chemical scent trails that could lead to food

Craig Subler
Christine Kreamer

For nearly half a century Roger Ballen has been shooting black-
and-white film—a member of the last generation to work in that
medium. He started his career taking portraits of rural Afrikaaners
in their homes and has lately been moving toward more staged
sets, and embellishing his photographs with expressionistic
graffiti-type drawings. This retrospective book follows the
development of line and drawing in Ballen's body of work, which is
often characterized by complex interior arrangements of people,
animals, and furnishings. In more recent work the artist has come
out from behind the camera lens to engage with line more
directly—including a luminous series of photographs that began
with drawing on glass. Psychologically edgy and seductively
beautiful images result. This volume also addresses the use of
IMPRINT: Delmonico Books drawing and line in Ballen's newest work in videography. This

Time in Flux
From Basel to Rotterdam on a
Container Ship

Sabine Theil
Elke Fischer

One of the continent's main transport routes, the Rhine winds


through the heart of Europe from the Alps to the North Sea.
Thousands of goods are loaded, transported and handled on the
Rhine. The photographer Elke Fischer and the author Sabine Theil
experienced this enormous trade route in a very special way: they
travelled together on board a container freight ship from Basel to
Rotterdam - the largest sea port in Europe. Along the way they
received an entirely new perspective of the venerable river that
glides past idyllic vineyards and through the legendary Valley of
the Loreley on its way to advanced international transport centres.
The texts and images that they brought back from their journey
offer an authentic glimpse into the realm of containers, locks,
powerful cranes and gigantic port facilities. In the process the two
authors discovered a unique world full of technological wonders,

500 Poses for


Photographing Infants
and Toddlers

Michelle Perkins

Offering inspiration as well as guidance for portrait photographers


to use during sessions with infants and toddlers—notoriously
difficult subjects for posing—this guide takes a uniquely visual
approach to instruction through its 500 stellar shots. With the
challenges faced while working with children, it is easy to end up
in a rut of go-to poses. The book counters the stock image effect
with its broad variety of creative options, and incorporates
experience-based knowledge on achieving successful results,
such as creating a comforting zone for the child or the potential
assistance of integrated props. The poses highlight what the
parents love to see while considering what will work with even the
most wilful of young subjects.

Location Lighting
Handbook
for Portrait Photographers

Stephanie and Peter Zettl

On-location photographers are faced with ever-changing lighting


conditions due to the time of day, the weather, or the
surroundings, and this book explores how to evaluate, use, and
shape the available light to get the best results in any situation.
The book begins by showing photographers how to assess
available light and exposure, providing information on the quality
and characteristics of light and the necessary tools and techniques
for measuring them. The guide then focuses on portable lighting
solutions that a single photographer can use—with minimal or no
assistance—to customize the given light, from on-camera flashes
and monolights with battery packs to umbrellas, soft boxes, and
LED video lights. Numerous examples of difficult lighting situations

Gustavus Miller

Dreams have variously inspired and haunted kings, poets,


inventors, artists, musicians, statesmen and others since the dawn

appeared in 1909, ten years after Sigmund Freud's pioneering
work “he Interpretation of Dreams”, and is therefore an historical

The Commercial Pilot’s


Licence

Anneli Christian-Phillips

Many of those embarking, or considering embarking, on


commercial pilot's training have little idea of what they will have to
do, as far as flying training is concerned, to get the licence. The
Commercial Pilot's License aims to dispel some common
misconceptions and to tell you in an easy and user-friendly way
what you need to know to get a JAA CPL and become a better
pilot. Much of the literature available to CPL students has much to
say about what you will have to fly but not how to fly it. This book,
by contrast, offers real practical advice on the lesson content and
how to fly the manoeuvres, rather than just a list of what you are
expected to know at the end of it.

Topics covered include:

Fast Trains Worldwide


FIRM SALE

Thomas Estler

The quest for greater speed on the rails is almost as old as the
railroad itself. In the 19th and in the first half of the 20th centuries,
notable things were being done under the slogan "Speed is the
key:" the famous Rainhill Trials of 1829; the 1903 speed test run,
when an electric three-phase express railcar reached a
sensational speed of 130.61 mph; the German "Rail Zeppelin" of
1931 and their high-speed railway network of the mid-1930s. In
1955, the French broke through the 186 mph limit with two electric
locomotives. In commercial high-speed rail transport, the
Japanese created a sensation just ten years later: They built an
entirely new, dedicated high-speed standard rail track between
Tokyo and Osaka, utilizing "bullet trains," also known as
Shinkansen. This book outlines the history of high speed
locomotives from more than 20 countries representing Europe,
Asia, Australia, and the United States, and is essential for the train

Flying the Boeing 787

Captain Gib Vogel

Since its first flight on 15 December 2009, the Boeing 787


'Dreamliner' has been the most sophisticated airliner in the world.
It uses many advanced new technologies to offer unprecedented
levels of performance with minimal impact on the environment.

“Flying the Boeing 787” gives a pilot's eye view of what it is like to
fly this remarkable machine. It takes the reader on a trip from
Tokyo to Los Angeles as the flight crew see it, from pre-flight
planning, through all the phases of the flight to shut-down at the
parking stand many thousands of miles from the departure point.

Lavishly illustrated with specially taken photographs of the B787's

Lotus Elan
The Complete Story

Matthew Vale

The Lotus Elan was Lotus's definitive roadster. It replaced the


elegant but expensive Lotus Elite and was the first car to employ
the innovative Lotus steel backbone chassis. The original Elan
was produced as a two-seat, open-top sports car and hardtop
coupe from 1962 - 1973. The range was extended by the addition
of the 2+2-seater Plus 2 from 1967 to 1974. Lotus introduced an
all-new front wheel drive Elan in 1989, the M100, which was
produced until 1995.

“Lotus Elan” looks at the history and development of all the Elans
and describes each model in detail. It gives technical details for all
models, examines unusual conversions, and includes driving
experiences from Elan owners.

Amsterdam
A Metropolitan Village

Ewout Huiders

“Amsterdam: A Metropolitan Village” is a photographic tribute to a


city one can be proud of. A city with a unique geographical
character, thanks to the wonderful rhythmic play between water
and land. And where else can a 15 minute bike ride take you from
the heart of the city into a countryside landscape that would not
look out of place in the masterpieces of Vermeer?

For a whole year, photographer Ewout Huibers, was given the


freedom to wander through the city of Amsterdam and capture
what he thought was interesting. And the result is at least a tribute
of great diversity: from the role of the water in the city, to the
parasols in the front yards; from an architectural point of
reference, to a cyclist in the snow. The book, like Amsterdam, is
both familiar and surprising.

Connecticut Lore

Zachary Lamothe

Connecticut, proclaimed often by visitors as solely a rest stop


along the highway from New York to Boston, is known primarily for
its bedroom towns, cows, and strip malls, but it is so much more
than that. From tales of its haunted history, curious encounters,
and forgotten places, Connecticut is "full of surprises" and worth
investigating whether you're a local or an out-of-towner. Nooks
and crannies are inhabited by ghost towns, large man-beasts, and
inbred creatures with oblong heads. Folk artists who created
religious sanctuaries out of trash are just some of the oddities you
will see. Visit abandoned Norwich State Hospital and Daniel's
Village, hear stories of demonic possessions, and discover the
mysteries of Plum Island and the lore of Pirate treasure and
witchcraft. Whether you know it as The Nutmeg State or The
Constitution State, you will see the State of Connecticut in a whole

"New York is a city you must behold not only with your eyes but

New York

Thomas Hoepker

The bustling gateway to America, New York has always been a


city of dramatic excitement—big dreams and constant changes. A
legendary photojournalist and former president of Magnum
Photos, Thomas Hoepker vividly captures the city's complex spirit
in all its many moods. A long-time resident, Hoepker's images
range from the early 60s through 9/11, and up to the very present
including the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. With journalistic zeal
and a keen eye for crucial details, he documents a true New York
with its diverse inhabitants and the allure of its prominent
landmarks and hidden, far-flung corners. His insightful
photography conveys a vivid sense of the city's physical
landscape and also of its unique everyday interactions and
intricate urban culture.

A Guide to the Eateries of


Venice

Michela Scibilia

Eating out in Venice can be a traumatic affair - especially for your


wallet - yet the local food has much to offer the inquiring diner.
That's why this compact guide to the eateries of the city is so
useful. Most of the eateries in the guide offer one - or both - of two
distinct eating formats. Some serve traditional Italian sit-down
meals of anti-pasto, primo, secondo and dolce (starter, pasta,
meat or fish and dessert) while others concentrate on the typically
Venetian cicheto, or snack, to be consumed standing at the bar
with a glass of wine, known as an ombra. This guide will tell you
where to find tasty traditional and innovative cicheti. To keep
explanations in the eatery profiles to a minimum, Venetian and
Italian terms are explained in the glossary.

The great virtue of this guide is that it tells you how much you can
IMPRINT: Vianello Libri expect to pay in each of the restaurants featured. It is a given that
everything in Venice costs more than elsewhere in Italy but
ISBN: 9788872003299 sometimes the disparity can ruin the visitor's digestion. A meal in

My True Love Gave to Me


Twelve Days of Christmas

Scott McKowen

From a partridge in a pear tree to 12 drummers drumming, a


beautifully illustrated celebration of the most festive time of the
year.

One of the most popular holiday songs of all time, The Twelve
Days of Christmas probably originated in France during the late
Middle Ages and became popular in England as a chant sung
without music. The 12 days are traditionally those following
Christmas, with the last day being the end of the season. Over the
years the lyrics have changed but the song remains a perennial
favourite, recorded by everyone from Frank Sinatra to Alvin and
the Chipmunks. "

My True Love Gave to Me" is an exquisitely illustrated edition of


the song's famous lyrics, featuring the art of Scott McKowen, an
award-winning illustrator and graphic designer. Each "day" is
accompanied by a richly detailed-and often whimsical-full-page
IMPRINT: Firefly Books scratchboard illustration of its grand and unusual gift.

The Elf off the Shelf


A Christmas Tradition Gone Bad
A parody

Horace the Elf

For those who are creeped out by The Elf on the Shelf finally they
have a book just for them. Every holiday season Santa sends
elves out from the North Pole To sit and watch and see who's
Naughty and who's Nice. They're supposed to stay still, listen, and
report back each night, So St. Nick can write up his list based on
their advice. Except this year Mum bought a discount elf, Who
came in a damaged box and was a little damaged in the head. He
hates his job, ignores all the rules, And, instead, gets into all sorts
of trouble when everyone's in bed. It doesn't matter if readers love
their Elf on the Shelf or think the concept is downright creepy -
everyone will enjoy Elf off the Shelf. It's the photo-story set to
verse of one disgruntled little helper with a gift for making mischief.
Whether he's getting into the eggnog or defacing Christmas cards,
his AWOL antics could ruin the holidays for everyone.

Finest Christmas Tree

John & Ann Hassett

Every year Farmer Tuttle loads his truck with Christmas trees
fresh from his farm and drives down to the city to sell them. Then
he picks out a special Christmas hat to bring home to Mrs.Tuttle.
But one year, people stopped buying real Christmas trees. Fake
ones were more convenient, they said. So Farmer Tuttle had to
return home without a hat to give his wife. The Tuttles worried; if
they couldn't sell their trees anymore, what would they do? Just
when they're about to sell all their trees to a man from the sawmill,
a mysterious letter arrives requesting Farmer Tuttle's finest tree ...

It was a wonderful, snowy Christmas Day. But still, something
