Softcover. Condition: Good. The war in Italy was characterized by a host of Special Forces actions. The fact that the Italians had formed two governments, one backing the Allies and one a puppet German government, meant that the secret war was vital to the Allies conventional forces and partisans, the SAS, SOE, the US OSS (precursor to the CIA) all played important roles. On the night of 20/21 April 1945, the last operational jump of World War 2 took placeAE"Operation Herring. Operation Herring lasted over 72 hours instead of the 36 initially foreseen, but it turned out to be a success. The action did presage the end of the Italian campaign and the war in Italy, but until now little has been written about this, and other secret operations, on the Italian front. It will be an essential reference for students of World War 2.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. In this reprinted work, a leading military historian provides an analysis of the strategic and political complexities of the Battle of the Bulge. Intended to split the Allied armies, disrupt supply lines and fatally divide their political leadership the German counter-attack came dangerously close to fulfilling its objectives. However, it was Hitler's last desperate gamble in the West and defeat inevitably followed its failure.

Softcover. Condition: used. Raised in Holland in 1939, Das Reich became on of the deadliest of Hitler's tank divisions, fighting with distinction in many of the war's major battles. After taking part in the Blitzkrieg in the West, Das Reich moved east and took part in operations in the Balkans and Operation 'Barbarossa'. Hitler's invasion of Russia. It stayed on the eastern front until October 1943, taking part in some of the biggest tank battles in history, such as those at Kharkov and Kursk.In Normandy, Das Reich's mixture of veterans and recruits was all but destroyed by the time the Falaise gap was closed. It would spend the last days of the war refitting and then fighting in Hungary and Austria, where it surrendered to American forces.Mike Sharpe has written and contributed to many aviation and military titles, while Brian Davis is a uniform and insignia specialist who has written extensively on the subject.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. Each volume in the 'Railways of Britain' series is based on the hugely successful and innovative two-volume atlas of the Railways of Great Britain by Colonel Michael Cobb. The individual regional titles include over 40 maps updated and revised from Cobb's original work. The maps show the railway network in terms of those lines still open, those still open for freight traffic only, those preserved and those closed completely. Alongside the railway lines, the book also includes a current road network in simplified form to allow the inter-relationship between railways and roads to be clearly identified. In addition to the mapping, each volume also includes a detailed history outlining the development of the area's railway network.The third volume in the series covers the counties of Devon and Cornwall. The history of railway development in the region stretches back to the earliest years of the railway age with the Bodmin & Wadebridge opening in 1834 and with numerous mineral lines constructed to convey the region's rich mineral resources from mines to ports. As elsewhere, however, the railway network of today, shorn of many of the duplicate routes and rural branch lines, is but a pale shadow of that which existed at the height of the railway boom, but it still forms an essential link between the region and the rest of the country and between many of the scattered communities that form much of the area.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. There are few battles in the sometimes bloody history of the expansion of the United States in North American during the Indian Wars that are more famous than Little Bighorn. The romantic view of Custer's last stand against marauding hordes of Indians has achieved iconic status but the reality was somewhat different, as recent research has shown. The Battle of Little Bighorn was the culmination of a process of attrition between the Native Americans and European settlers. On 25 June 1876 this clash of cultures was settled by force of arms as the 7th Cavalry under Custer came upon a huge Indian camp by the Little Bighorn River. The resulting battle was the stuff of legends, but legends based on misconception and hearsay - no members of the 7th Cavalry survived to tell their tale and the Indians recorded their triumph in pictographs and oral memory, long undeciphered by historians. In Red Sabbath, military historian Robert Kershaw analyses the causes of Custer's defeat from the standpoint of a professional soldier, and examines the multitude of factors that lay behind this setback of a modern US Army's campaign against an unsophisticated foe. Bringing a forensic examination to the subject, this new view of the battle will be required reading for all those with an interest in the military history of the USA and of the career of that most famous of historical figures, General Custer. Drawing evidence from a wide range of sources, including contemporary reports of the battle, personal analysis of the battlefield and the most recent archaeological investigations, Kershaw explores the background to the battle and its results. His analysis debunks many of the myths about Custer's abilities as a military commander and previous generalizations of this savage encounter, providing a unique insight into the Battle of Little Bighorn.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. When this book was first published in 1997 it was the first time that Germany's incredible fighter projects of 1939-45 had been revealed in this detail - showing the technical dominance that their famed designers could have achieved if time allowed - shapes and layouts that do not look out of place today.Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering was so convinced in 1940 that his Luftwaffe was invincible that he decreed that only refinements of existing types need be considered - there was no need for more research and development as the war would be short and sharp. The Battle of Britain and the flawed invasion of the Soviet Union changed all that. Germany needed all the technological muscle it could muster. From mid-1941 onwards the brakes were off and some of the finest minds in aerodynamics turned their thoughts to war-winning fighters of a new generation.Momentum was gained at an incredible pace, moving through advanced piston-engined designs to produce jet fighters using aerodynamic concepts that the Allies seemed unable to match. Thankfully, the time-lag generated by the German leadershiop allowed little in the way of hardware to appear operationally by 1945.With access to much previously unpublished information the authors bring to life futuristic shapes that might have terrorised the Allies had the war gone beyond 1945. Full colour action illustrations in contemporary unit marking show vividly what might have been achieved. Careful comparison with later Allied and Soviet aircraft show the legacy handed on, right up to today's stealth aircraft.

Book First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. The new Spearhead series is designed to look at the cutting edge of war, dealing with units capable of operating completely independently in the forefront of battle. Each volume in the series examines the chosen units origins and history, its organisation and order of battle, its battle history theatre by theatre, its insignia and its markings. Also covered are biographies of the most important commanders of each unit. Each title ends with an assessment of unit effectiveness as seen by the unit itself, by its opponents and the light of more recent historical research. The books also include a detailed reference section with a critical bibliography, a listing of relevant museums and web sites, information about re-enactment groups and memorials. On 1 July 1965 the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) was officially activated and was ordered to Vietnam beginning 28 July 1965. In a matter of three and half weeks the newly formed division, with 16,000 men and 434 helicoptersChinooks (CH-47s), Flying Cranes (CH-54s), Mohawks (OV-1s), UH-1s and OH-13swas prepared to enter combat. Within 90 days of becoming the Army's first airmobile division, the First Team was in combat as the first fully committed division of the Vietnam War. On 10 October 1965, in Operation Shiny Bayonet, the First Team initiated its first brigade-size airmobile action against the enemy. The troopers had but a short wait before they faced a tougher test of their fighting skillsthe 35-day Pleiku Campaign, an air assault mission to pursue and fight the enemy across 2,500 square miles of jungle. Troopers swooped down on the NVA 33rd Regiment before it could get away, scattering and quickly smashing it. Five days later, on 14 November, the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry air-assaulted into the Ia Drang where the divisions first medal of honor in the Vietnam War was awarded. When the Pleiku Campaign ended on 25 November, troopers of the First Team had paid a heavy price for its success, having lost some 300 killed in action, half of them in one disastrous ambush. Bloody but unbowed, the division would go on to take part in many more air assaults and play a leading role in defence against the Tet offensive, driving out the NVA and Viet Cong invaders from Hue and, in Operation Pegasus, relieving the 3,500 U.S. Marines and 2,100 ARVN soldiers besieged by nearly 20,000 enemy at Khe Sanh. On 1 May 1970, the First Team was First into Cambodia hitting what was previously a Communist sanctuary but the campaign had severe political repercussions for the Nixon Administration. Pressure was mounting to withdraw US forces from the war. Although there would be further assault operations, the war was beginning to wind down and 26 March 1971 officially marked the end of duties in Vietnam for the 1st Cavalry Division, although it was only on 5 May 1971 that the colours moved from Vietnam to Fort Hood, Texas. For all those interested in military history, the new Spearhead series is an excellent account of each of the individual units. Written by acknowledged experts in the subject, each volume is a detailed account of the development and operational record of some of the most famous military units in history.
