Early Warfare

QC-1001 ~ CHARIOT ~ by Arthur Cotterell The chariot changed the face of ancient warfare. First in West Asia and Egypt, then in India and China, charioteers dominated the battlefield. In 1274 BC at Kadesh in present-day Syria - where the untried pharaoh Ramesses II was nearly defeated by the Hittites - 5,000 chariots were deployed in battle. Its use as a war machine is graphically recounted in Indian epics and Chinese chronicles. Homer's Iliad tells of the attack on Troy by Greek heroes who rode in chariots. In 326 BC Alexander the Great faced charioteers in northern India, while in 55 BC, on a Kent beach, Julius Caesar was met by British chariots 2004, Pimlico Publications, 0712669426,<35897-01-A-01> 344pp

QC-1003 ~ 69 A.D. THE YEAR OF FOUR EMPERORS ~ by Gwyn Morgan

The Year of Four Emperors, was one of the most chaotic and violent periods in Roman history. It was a time of assassinations and civil wars, of armies so out of control that they had no qualms about occupying the city of Rome, and of ambitious men who seized power only to lose it, one after another. The author offers a fresh look at this period firstly, the conflicting accounts of Tacitus, Plutarch and Suetonius, three main sources of information and secondly, the role of the armies, as distinct from that of their commanders. 2006, Oxford Univ.

QC-1023 ~ HISTORICAL ATLAS OF THE NAPOLEONIC ERA ~ by Angus Konstam

The French Revolution of 1789-1799 sent shockwaves through Europe. France was surrounded by enemies but fought them off, largely through the achievements of Napoleon Bonaparte, the Republic’s youngest general. Within a decade he had become Consul, First Consul, and finally Emperor, creating a new dynasty and a new order in Europe. From 1803 until 1809 he seemed unbeatable but his invasion of Russia in 1812 proved disastrous. His defeat at the Battle of Waterloo marked the close of the Napoleonic era. This beautifully illustrated book charts Napoleon’s rise and fall and analyses the rival armies that were to transform 19th Century Europe. 2003, Mercury Books, London, 1904668046,<33969-01-B-01> Large

His failure to achieve reciprocity with the Viceroy of Canton, led to the despatch of a force from India to enforce trading arrangements by force of arms in what became known as the Opium Wars.

QC-1049 ~ GARIBALDI'S DEFENCE OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC 1848-9 ~ by G M Trevelyan

Living in exile following a failed insurrection in Piedmont in 1834, news of the outbreak of revolution in Palermo in January 1848 and agitation elsewhere in Italy encouraged Garibaldi to lead some sixty members of the Italian legion home. He returned to Italy and offered his services to Charles Albert of Sardinia. Rebuffed, he and his followers crossed into Lombardy where they offered assistance to the provisional government of Milan. Garibaldi took up the command of the defence of Rome. His wife, Anita, fought with him. Despite their effort, the city fell on June 30, 1849, and Garibaldi was forced to flee to the north. 1928, Thomas Nelson & Sons, <33797-01-C-01> 314pp. maps.

America fought to gain independence from British colonial power between 1763 and 1783.

XN-2608 ~ DOUGLAS HAIG AND THE FIRST WORLD WAR by J P Harris Sir Douglas Haig was commander-in-chief of the largest army his country had ever put into the field. He has been portrayed as both an incompetent ‘butcher and bungler’ and a clear-sighted ‘architect of victory’. This new account dispels such stereotypes. A dedicated military professional, Haig nevertheless found it difficult to adjust to the unprecedented conditions of the Western Front. He bears much responsibility for British losses 1915–17 that were excessive in relation to the results achieved. After the German spring offensives of 1918, Haig played a vital role in the campaign that finally broke the German army. 2008, Cambridge Univ. Press, 9780521898027,<35859-01-D-01>

The battle for Ypres in October and November 1914 represented the last opportunity for open, mobile warfare on the Western Front for the next four years.

But it has also been mythologised from the German perspective, the so-called kindermord (slaughter of the innocents) proving a useable myth for the Nazis through the participation of the young Adolf Hitler. 2004, Pearson Education, 0582506123,<32575-01-D-02> 221pp, 15

Many of the troops, ordered to hold a position 'to the last man', were mere teenagers, who found courage in desperate situations in camaraderie, jokes and bravado.

The Great War – Eastern Front

XN-2609 ~ BLOOD ON THE SNOW ~ by Graydon A Tunstall The Carpathian winter campaign of 1915, described by some as the “Stalingrad of the First World War”, drove the million-man armies of Austria-Hungary and Russia to the brink of annihilation. Habsburg forces fought to rescue 130,000 Austro-Hungarian troops trapped by the Russians in Fortress Przemysl, but the campaign produced six times as many casualties as the number besieged. It remains one of the least understood and most devastating chapters of the war. Tunstall shows that the roots of the Habsburg collapse in Russia in 1916 lay squarely in the winter campaign of 1915. 2010, Univ. Press of Kansas, 9780700617203,<35925-01-D-03>

XN-2610 ~ UNDER FIRE IN THE DARDANELLES ~ by Camilla Cecil and Kira Charatan

Edward Cadogan kept a record of his war in words and photographs. His baptism by fire in Gallipoli had a profound effect on him but, as the situation deteriorated and casualties mounted, he became highly critical of the plan and the leadership. His front line experiences are balanced by his contact with senior commanders. Wounded and clearly in poor health he was fortunate to survive. After the ignominious withdrawal, Cadogan soldiered on in Egypt and Palestine. This compilation is not only superb military history but a unique piece of social commentary. 2006, Pen & Sword, 9781844153749,<35867-01-D-04> 208pp,

A million and half men died in North East Italy when Italy declared war on the Habsburg Empire in May 1915.

QC-1140 ~ HITLER'S EMPIRE: HOW THE NAZIS RULED EUROPE ~ by Mark Mazower

Hitler’s empire was the largest, most brutal and most ambitious reshaping of Europe in history. Inspired by the imperial legacy of those such as the British, the Third Reich cast its shadow from the Channel Islands to the Caucasus and ruled hundreds of millions. Yet it was an empire built on an illusion. From Hitler’s plans for vast motorways crossing an ethnically cleansed Russian steppe, to dreams of a German super-economy rivalling America’s, the author reveals the lethal fusion of mass murder, modern managerialism and colossal incompetence that underpinned the Nazi New Order. 2008, Penguin Books, 9781594201882,<35916-01-F-01> 725pp

Since Nazi officials had burned Adolf Hitler's body and disposed of the remains at an unknown site just before the Russians took Berlin, it was important to gain other evidence of Hitler's demise as there were widespread fears (and some hopes) that he had survived. Trevor-Roper clearly describes how Hitler and his mistress, Eva Braun, came to commit suicide on April 30, 1945, in a private room of his fortified underground bunker in Berlin. He also shows how Hitler's last days were the culmination of growing dissolution of the Nazi regime in the last years of the war, with administrative chaos and bitter animosities among top Nazi officials.

QC-1241 ~ WINGATE'S LOST BRIGADE ~ by Philip Chinnery The First Chindit Operations, 1943. With the Japanese seemingly unbeatable after their conquest of Malaya, Singapore, Thailand and much of Burma, Orde Wingate’s plans to conduct long range deep penetration operations behind Japanese lines in Burma were audacious to say the least. His Chindit operations were hugely demanding on those taking part who suffered terrible deprivation in the harsh climatic and jungle conditions. While costly in terms of lives lost, the operations inflicted damage to the Japanese and raised Allied morale. 2010, Pen & Sword, 9781848840546,<35879-01-G-01> 215pp, 42

QC-1250 ~ OVER THE BATTLEFIELD: OPERATION EPSOM by Ian Daglish Before Epsom in late June 1944, there remained the chance that a German counter-stroke might seriously threaten the bridgehead. After EPSOM, the Allies retained the strategic initiative through to the liberation of France and Belgium. This was a battle in which highly trained but largely inexperienced British 'follow-up' divisions, newly arrived in Normandy, confronted some of the best equipped, best led and battle-hardened formations of the Third Reich. The battle developed into armoured action on the open slopes of Hills 112 and 113, before the British turned to defending their gains in the face of concentric attacks by two full SS-Panzer Korps. 2007, Pen & Sword, 9781844155620,<35892-01-G-01> 272pp.

The confrontation between German and Soviet forces at Stalingrad was a titanic clash of armies on an unprecedented scale — a turning point in World War II. Yet despite the attention lavished on this epic battle by historians, it has been greatly misunderstood. The first volume in this masterly trilogy draws on previously neglected sources to provide the definitive account of the opening phase of this campaign. Glantz has combed official records from both sides to produce a work of unparalleled detail and fresh interpretations.

The German offensive on Stalingrad was intended to secure the Wehrmacht’s flanks, but it stalled dramatically in the face of Stalin’s order: “Not a Step Back!” The Soviets’ tenacious defense of the city led to urban warfare for which the Germans were totally unprepared, depriving them of their accustomed maneuverability, overwhelming artillery fire, and air support—and setting the stage for debacle. Armageddon in Stalingrad continues David Glantz and Jonathan House’s bold new look at this most iconic military campaign of the Eastern Front and Hitler’s first great defeat. This second volume focuses on the inferno of combat that decimated the city itself. 2009, Univ. Press of Kansas, 9780700616640,<35931-01-G-01>

The war in Italy was the most destructive campaign in the west as the Allies and Germans fought a bitter and highly attritional conflict up the mountainous leg of Italy during the last twelve months of the Second World War. For front-line troops, casualty rates at Cassino and then along the Gothic Line were as high as they had been along the Western Front in the First World War. While the Allies and Germans were slogging it out through the mountains, the Italians were fighting their own battles, one where Partisans and Fascists were pitted against each other in a bloody civil war. 2008, Harper Collins, 9780007176458,<12809-01-G-01> 606pp

The Red Army needed the vital road and rail bridges passing through Küstrin for their assault on the capital, but flooding and their own high command's strategic blunders resulted in a sixty-day siege by two Soviet armies which totally destroyed the town. The delay in the Soviet advance also gave the Germans time to consolidate the defence of Berlin, west of the Oder River. 2009, Pen & Sword, 9781848840225,<31867-01-G-01> 312pp.11 maps. photographs, very good in protected d/w, £14.00

XN-2622 ~ DROPZONE AFRICA ~ by Marius Whittle

Airborne and Airmobile Warfare in Southern Africa: 1961–1994. The lack of infrastructure, the lack of key points to attack, as well as the lack of mobility facing conventionally mounted forces and their subsequent inability to respond rapidly over the types of distances inherent in most African operational theatres, all played a role in the development of a uniquely African approach to this type of warfare. France’s experiences in Algeria and the birth of the helicopter ‘gunship’ and its associated tactics led the way. Foremost among the forces operating were the Portuguese, Rhodesians and South Africans during their various counter-insurgency (COIN) campaigns, with the helicopter playing a pivotal role. 2010, 30 Degrees South UK, 9781920143435,<35861-01-H-01>

XN-2624 ~ COUNTER-STRIKE FROM THE SKY ~ by J R T Wood and Chris Cocks

The Rhodesian All-Arms Fireforce concept dates from 1974 when the Air Force acquired the MG151 20mm cannon. Coupled with this, the traditional counter-insurgency tactics (against Mugabe’s ZANLA and Nkomo’s ZIPRA) of follow-ups, tracking and ambushing simply weren’t producing satisfactory results. Visionary air force and Infantry officers expanded on the idea of a ‘vertical envelopment’ of the enemy by Alouette III helicopters, directing air deployed ground forces supported by ground-attack aircraft armed with napalm, white phosphorus rockets and a variety of Rhodesian-designed ordnance. 2009, 30 Degrees South UK, 9781920143336 ,<35852-01-H-01>

QC-1457 ~ WAVELL: SOLDIER & STATESMAN ~ by Victoria Schofield

Wavell was one of Britain's great military leaders. With extraordinary resilience, he faced triumph and disaster in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. His renowned victory in the Western desert was matched by the ignominy of the surrender at Singapore and the evacuation from Burma. Wavell's appointment as Viceroy of India was even more challenging, as he began its arduous move to independence. Yet behind such distinction lay an enigmatic man, equally celebrated for his unexpected silences as for his prolific memory and love of poetry. 2006, John Murray, 0719563208,<21840-01-J-01> 512pp, 37

On 20 June 1941 the Army Air Force was created to unify command under one office. Direct command of the Army Airforces combat components were roughly divided between the Chief of the Army Airforce and the Chief of Staff, GHQ Army. The latter had air units under its control in the Alaskan Defense Command, the Caribbean Defense Command, Hawaiian Department, United States Army Forces Far East (in the Philippines), and the four Atlantic base commands. The reorganization was still in progress when the Japanese struck, and presents a somewhat confusing picture at times. From mid 1939 to mid 1941 the total of Air Corps personnel jumped from

approximately 20,000 to more than 152,000, and was still continuing to expand on the eve of Pearl Harbor. This study is a compendium of facts drawn from original sources 2007, Military Press , 9780854206940,<23883-01-M-01> 73 pages,

The first heavy bomber raids on Britain took place in the autumn of 1916 with Gotha twin-engined bomber which could fly at 15,000 feet, well above any contemporary fighter's maximum height. With a range of 500 miles and a bomb load of up to 500 kg (1,100 lb), the Gothas were designed to carry out attacks across the channel against Britain. They carried out their first raid towards the end of May 1917 against the town of Folkestone, causing 95 deaths. From mid-September an even larger, more potent bomber joined the Gothas. The Zeppelin-Staaken Riesenflugzeug (or "Giant") was a four-engined biplane with an enclosed cabin and a wingspan of 138 feet. 2006, Pen & Sword, 9781844153459,<35873-01-M-01> 168pp, 60

In the summer of 1588, with the dream of reclaiming England for the Catholic Church, Philip II of Spain assembled a fleet of huge, castle-crowned galleons. Across the Channel the English scraped together bands of barely trained men, many armed only with scythes, stakes or longbows. Their only hope lay in the English Navy. As soon as it engaged with the English fleet, faced with superior tactics and firepower, the Armada’s shortcomings became clear. Its hulls shot through with cannon fire, its men dying in thousands from wounds and disease, the mightiest fleet ever assembled was mercilessly harried, fleeing north at the mercy of the elements. 2003, Doubleday, 0385604513,<35887-01-N-01> 572pp. illustrations, mark on pre-title page.

After a long and bitter struggle, the turning point was a sea battle, at Navarino in 1827, which proved a crushing defeat for the Ottoman forces. 2006, Naval Institute Press, 159114048X,<35938-01-N-01> 216pp,

neglected and many of the weapons were re-used on the Atlantic Wall. Late in 1944 and 1945 the defences were renovated and strengthened to protect the German heartland. 2002, Sutton Publishing, 0750927623,<26727-01-R-01> 174pp, 100

When this book begins in the reign of Edward VII, Great Britain commands the mightiest empire the world has ever seen.

We travel the first half of the twentieth-century with the heroic and the discreditable, the low and the great: Ezra Pound, Nancy Astor, Noel Coward and Vera Lynn, as well as with Baldwin, Chamberlain, Hitler and Churchill. Although the political classes failed in their duty to the poor, and failed to avert a war, Wilson traces the way that the war against Hitler changed Britain forever. 2005, Hutchinson Publications, 0091794846,<35915-01-X-01>
