Here, faced by difficult terrain , they and their British Commonwealth allies fought a long campaign until VE-Day.

Blandford Press [Published Date: 1984]. Hardcover, 176 pp. [From front jacket flap] The Iron Cross is probably one of the world's best known decorations. It was first awarded in the 1813 'Freedom War' which ended with the defeat of Napoleon, and became so deeply embedded in Prussian and then German culture that almost every facet of life, from the National flag to cheap souvenirs, featured the Iron Cross. Gordon Williamson traces its history and design from 1813 and gives brief notes on all the principal recipients in various wars including the Napoleonic, Franco-Prussian (1870), First World War (1914-18) and Second World War (1939-45) and its 'de-nazification' in 1957. Throughout he gives full information of grades, award documents and other details ending with a look at values, collecting, restoring and recognising fakes. The author has been assisted by numerous collectors (including Dr K. G. Klieunann) as well as by surviving German veterans (including Richard Schulze, Hitler's SS Adjutant, Heinrich Springer, Knights Cross holder and Otto Weidinger, Regimental Commander in 'Das Reich' Division). Gordon Williamson has published over 30 articles on militaria in Antique Arms &Militaria, Guns, Weapons & Militaria and Military Modelling magazines and is co-author of The German Navy in World War Two with J. P. Mallmann Showell. The Iron Cross is both an invaluable reference for the collector and a unique guide to an unusual aspect of military history. Read more

In the year 1900, an unprecedented co-operation occurred between the eight major military powers of the world. For more than a year military and naval personnel from Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States fought together against a common enemy. That enemy was a society whose goal was the extermination of all 'foreign devils' in China – the I Ho Ch'uan, or Righteous Harmonious Fists, better known to the West as the Boxers. This engaging account, packed with original photographs and full colour artwork, tells the story of this unique occurrence in military history. Read more

Although the Chinese contribution to Allied victory in World War II (1939-1945) is often ignored, China fought the Japanese Empire for far longer than any other belligerent nation. By the time that the Sino-Japanese War became absorbed into the wider conflict at the end of 1941, Chinese armies had already suffered huge casualties and half the country had been lost. By fighting on with Allied support, China tied down a million Japanese troops. After Japan's defeat in 1945, China was immediately plunged back into civil war between Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists and Mao Tse-tung's Communists; and the latter's victory in 1949 changed the world for the rest of the 20th century and beyond.

This is the last in a series of three books on Napoleon’s greatest victories at Marengo, Austerlitz and Jena. Victories that established his military reputation and secured his political power as First Consul and then as Emperor. Yet these victories were won by the French armies and their new revolutionary way of waging war, as much as by Napoleon’s leadership. In the wake of these three victories, came a new outlook, a new way of doing things. Nations of the ancien regime would have to adapt, at first militarily, but then in every other way. Jena and Auerstaedt brought the French Grande Armée and Napoleon to the apogee of their power. The 1806-7 campaign also showed the nature, genius and limits of Napoleon’s leadership.The book starts with an overview of the 1806 campaign and a focus on the twin battles of Jena-Auerstaedt. It then looks at the uniforms of each participant, examining the battle from their differing perspectives, in closer detail. We have also written the book so that it can be used as a guide to visiting the battlefields; something we urge our readers to do. Read more

In the summer of 1804, the eagle was chosen as the symbol of the French Army by Napoleon himself. The Emperor's sculptor, Chaudet, made the original model, and from this were cast bronze copies in the workshop of Thomire, which would be proudly borne into battle by many a French regiment. This fascinating work by Terence Wise explores in depth the flags, colours and guidons of the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815), concentrating on France and her allies, and covering every faction from Baden to Würzburg. This book is a must for anyone interested in this fascinating topic. Read more

During the 14th and 15th centuries military tactics in Europe underwent a period of sustained transformation of which the outcome was the rejuvenation of the footsoldier as the major tactical unit. One nation alone stands principally responsible for this development – the Swiss Confederation. For centuries the mounted knights had 'ridden roughshod over the populations of Europe'. It was in the Swiss halberdier and later the pikeman that the mounted men-at-arms were to meet their match. This absorbing text by Douglas Miller provides an account of rise of the Swiss army to its tactical zenith, beginning with the classic encounter at Morgarten. Read more

This book provides a glimpse at the lives, weapons, and equipment of these soldiers through a collection of artifacts and exacting reproductions. As 1862 dawned, the Civil War, the conflict that had started the year before and that most Americans thought would last only a few months, showed no signs of ending. Hundreds of thousands of men across the divided nation enlisted in state volunteer regiments that poured into the sprawling military camps around Washington, DC, Richmond, Virginia, and other strategic locations. Within a year, thousands of these courageous men had lost their lives on bloody battlefields or died in disease-ridden encampments. This book provides a glimpse at the lives, weapons, and equipment of these soldiers through a collection of artifacts and exacting reproductions. While other books examine the War Between the States from a political, tactical, or military perspective, these books focus on the day-to-day life and the human experience of the men themselves, the Union and Confederate soldiers who enlisted and often fought to the death for their beliefs and those of their home regions of the young United States. Illustrated with full-color photography and historical documents, engagingly written and thoroughly explained, these books are the perfect addition to children’s and adults’ library collections, school libraries, and personal libraries of interested readers and history lovers of all ages.
