James Mccudden

Greenhill Books, 2006

Brave simple man who loved his King and country

It is basically written by a man who was a hero who was very modest, It takes the form of a diary and gives more or less a day to day event of what it was really like to fly planes made of canvas against an enemy who McCudden had great respect for. For anyone who has a passion for first world war history ...

Fighting with the Screaming Eagles: With the 101st Airborne Division from Normandy to Bastogne (Greenhill ...5 reviews
Christopher J Anderson

Greenhill Books, 2006

Incredibly moving
After I first interviewed Mr. Bowen in 1998 I had tears in eyes. These feelings of sacrifice, loss, suffering, courage, and heroism surface again in this superb book. FIGHTING WITH THE SCREAMING EAGLES takes you back to the foxhole. 		  
  







  
  
Anatomy of Glory: Napoleon and His Guard8 reviews
Henri Lachouque

Greenhill Books, 2006

La Garde A Feu!
I first saw this book and read it in high school. Since then, it has been an indispensable part of my Napoleonic library. It is full of information unobtainable eslewhere in English. The superb illustrations, from the Anne S.K. Brown Collection at Brown University, greatly enhance the presentation, Mrs Brown also being the translator. The book traces the Guard from its inception during the ... 		  
  







  
  
Imperial Glory7 reviews
J. David Markham

Greenhill Books, 2003

newsletter of Napoleon's Army
The Bulletins of the Napoleon's Grande Armee was in essence, nothing more then newsletters written for French army personals and their opponents. The author did the Napoleonic community a great service by making this book available in English, the complete set of Napoleon's Bulletins. The book also included other pages of history as Napoleons' decrees, treaties that was signed and even military ...

John W. Thomason

Greenhill Books, 1989

The classic tale of Marines in WWI
I found an old copy of this book years ago, when there was very little to be found on the USMC in WWI, I am glad to hear it is being published again at this time. My interest in that subject stems from the fact that my Grandfather & his twin brother served in the 5th Marines in WWI. Even without that connection this is a great book, one of my all time favorites. CPT Thomason keeps you ... 		  
  







  
  
RMS Titanic: A Modelmaker's Manual6 reviews
Peter Davies-Garner

Greenhill Books, 2006

Great Guide
I purchased this book after searching and searching the internet for a detailed model guide for building my own. The book is based on the building of most complete and acturate Titanic model built todate. The book breaks the model down to perfect detail. Even though the one that I am building is quite a bit smaller. The color photos are great, wish there was more. Each chapter takes you up one ... 		  
  







  
  
A History of the Peninsular War Volume 1 (History of the Peninsular War)5 reviews
Charles Oman

Greenhill Books, 2006

Exhaustively complete history of the subject.
Oman is the definitive tactical and operational description of the British and French campaigns in the Iberian Peninsula during the Napoleonic Wars. It's also among the best descriptions in the English language of the realities of early 19th century ground combat. My reading was of the original volumes in the 1970s; I'm most pleased that these unmatched references have been re-printed.

Greenhill Books, 2006

The Turning Point of the Peninsular War
This wonderfully affordable paperback edition makes available Volume V of Charles Oman's definitive history of the Peninsular War, which covers the turning point of the war. In early 1812, Napoleon withdrew some of his Imperial troops from Spain for the ill-fated invasion of Russia. The dispersal of the remaining French forces to hold down Spanish insurgents coincided with a buildup of the ... 		  
  







  
  
Greece and Rome at War12 reviews
Peter Connolly

Greenhill Books, 2006

This is a Great book
I really enjoy reading this book. It has great information about the various military structures of the greek and roman armys. The book goes in detail about how they fought, what armor they wore, how the marched, even what kind of food they ate. But this is only about half the book. The other parts of the book talk about differnt wars, battles, and campaigns. One of my favorite part of this book ... 		  
  







  
  
The Knights of Bushido-Hardbound: A Short History of Japanese War Crimes5 reviews
Lord Of Liverpool Russell

Greenhill Books, 2006

Well Written, Well Researched
We've seen the movies, the Hollywood glamour of Japanese POW camps in such movies as "Bridge over the River Kwai" and "Empire of the Sun". I had read hints of Japanese brutality, I knew about the rise of the military culture within the government and I, of course, knew of Bushido and the characteristic, xenophobic racism of the Japanese. But I was not prepared for the reality of the Japanese ... 		  
  







  
  
The School of Fencing: With a General Explanation of the Principal Attitudes and Positions Peculiar to the Art4 reviews
Domenico Angelo

Greenhill Books, 2005

A splendid addition to the swordsman's library
Ten years ago the number of books on historical fencing systems could be counted on one hand. Now we have an embarrassment of riches. However, in the revival of interest in older styles of fencing, the 18th and 19th centuries have tended to be overlooked. In particular, the civilian weapon of the 18th century, the smallsword has been overlooked by people who desire something more recogniseably ... 		  
  







  
  
1812: Napoleon Invasion Russia-Softbound3 reviews
Paul Britten Austin

Greenhill Books, 2000

A Classic Soldier's Account of the Russian Campaign
1812 is a compilation of Austin's three earlier books on Napoleon's invasion of Russia. Austin's work is deservedly a classic, but due to its complexity is not for novices to Napoleonic history. Nor should this work be read by the faint-hearted, given some of the rather gory and explicit details of a rather savage chapter in the history of warfare. This book is not a comprehensive history of ... 		  
  







  
  
Feeding Nelson's Navy: The True Story of Food at Sea in the Georgian Era4 reviews
Janet Macdonald

Greenhill Books, 2006

An excellent look into an important but neglected subject
Cervantes in "Don Quixote" lampoons the writers of chivalric romances for failing to address the mundane realities of life, chief among them being how their heroic knights errant managed to feed themselves. To a lesser degree, perhaps, the modern authors of nautical fiction likewise do not much address the question of how their seaborne heroes (and their crews) were fed, day in and day out. ...

Jonathan Gawne

Greenhill Books, 1997

best book of WW1 US Army photos there is
I saw this in the military book club for $14.95! A really GOOD collection of photos of the US Army in WW1. I actually learned some new things from the captions. The BEST book of WW1 photos I have seen in many years. Would also be good for a novice 		  
  







  
  
Nelson Encyclopedia4 reviews
Colin White

Greenhill Books, 2002

This is a wonderful book. Up to White's usual high standard
Colin White works hard so we don't have to. He has saved us having to dig through countless book to find information on persons, events and places that feature prominently, or even incidentally, in Lord Nelson's colourful life. This book will be an invaluable aid to everyone interested in Nelson, the Royal Navy, and the Napoleonic Wars. Also highly recommended: Joel Hayward's "For God and Glory: ... 		  
  







  
  
Napoleon's Elite Cavalry5 reviews
Lucien Rousselot

Greenhill Books, 1999

Napoleon's Elite Cavalry
Spectacular!!! While a bit expensive the plates are a cornicopia of valuable infomation for anyone interested in uniforms and the French army in the age of Napoleon. Perhaps the success of this work will inspire others to produce similar compendia of Rousselot's works (the bound reproduction of his planches would be a Napoeonic buff's dream). 		  
  







  
  
Wellington In India-Softbound (Greenhill Military Paperbacks)4 reviews
Jac Weller

Greenhill Books, 2006

Wellington's forgotten wars
When Wellington's name is mentioned, people tend to think first of Waterloo, then of the Peninsulars Wars. It is easy to forget that he got his start in India, and that is the period which Jac Weller covers so well in this book. This was a completely different kind of warfare than that fought in Europe, and Wellington (or Wellesley, as he was then) had to contend not only with far superior ...

The product of a 10 year-collaborative effort by noted Luftwaffe authors Donald Caldwell and Richard Muller, LUFTWAFFE OVER GERMANY is a well-researched, well-written, fast-paced account of Luftwaffe air defense operations. Equal parts critical analysis and popular history, the book is must reading for air war enthusiasts. Caldwell, who wrote the marvelous JG 26 trilogy, and Muller pack a ... 		  
  







  
  
Iron Marshall-Hardbound (Napoleonic Library)4 reviews
John Gallagher

Greenhill Books, 2006

Excellent Military Biography
This book is the long awaited reprint of John Gallaher's 1976 classic account of one of Napoleon's greatest Marshals, Louis Davout, 'The Iron Marshal'. According to David Chandler, Davout was "one of the least liked as a man, the ablest as a commander, and the most feared - and respected - as an adversary. He was also, from 1798, one of the loyalist of Napoleon's key subordinates." This is an ...
