This is a vivid account of the enduring Battle(s) of the Argonne Forest. The largely static nature of warfare on the Western Front saw a series of battles for the same stretches of ground over the duration of the Great War, culminating in the deployment of US troops in 1918, their largest battle for Argonne – Very Highly Recommended
An engaging review of the RAF war experience from the views of those who served, from an author with a particular interest in training and combat. The scale and variety of experiences for air and ground crew during WWII is hard to fully appreciate today – Very Highly Recommended
When very large numbers of American service personnel arrived in the UK, they were based in camps that were largely in quiet rural areas and they significantly outnumbered the local indigenous population. The fact that most US military personnel avoided upsetting the local population was a major achievement on both sides – Very Highly Recommended
Britain had to abandon the Channel Islands in 1940 and did not even have adequate time to evacuate significant numbers of the population. The Germans started with a soft approach but political prisoners increased and the occupation became harsh, not least because the German logistics operation was unable to supply all the food and medicines required – Very Highly Recommended
Of one million British and Commonwealth dead, some half a million lie with no known grave. The author recounts the efforts over more than a century to locate and identify those unknown soldiers – Very Highly Recommended
The further successful partnership of two skilled marine authors, with strong artistic backgrounds, and a publisher with a very strong reputation for producing outstanding, definitive books on naval subjects . The large format and an excellent facing pages bifold at the centre make this a memorable study of Britain’s last battleship in service – Most Highly Recommended
