Naseby 1645 (Campaign 185)



Naseby 1645 (Campaign 185)
Osprey Publishing 2007 | 96 pages | ISBN: 9781846030789 | PDF | 12.6 MB

On the pivotal day of 14 June 1645 Charles I's Royalist Army and Parliament's New Model Army made battle at Naseby. Using first-hand accounts, Martin Marix Evans introduces the origins of the campaign, explores the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing armies, and vividly describes the engagement. The traditional condemnation of Prince Rupert's military strategy is undermined, and the significance of Okey's Dragoons in precipitating the action explained. He imparts his intimate knowledge of the terrain so crucial to the New Model Army's frontage, and uses archaeological and documentary evidence to piece together a remarkable blow-by-blow account of this devastating battle.

Stalingrad (Campaign 184)



Stalingrad 1942 (Campaign 184)
Osprey Publishing 2007| 96 pages | ISBN: 9781846030284 | PDF | 14 MB

One of the most monumental and widely discussed battles in the history of World War II, Stalingrad was Hitler's first major defeat on the Eastern Front, and acted as a catalyst for his eventual downfall. Providing a detailed breakdown of the armies on both sides and discussing the merits of the commanders and the ways in which these influenced the battle, Peter Antill questions why the Germans allowed themselves to be diverted from their main objective and concentrate such large resources on a secondary target. The bird's-eye view illustrations and maps that feature in this book help to unravel the detail of unit directions, priorities and deployments, and the tactical failures that led to the day-by-day war of attrition that lasted for nearly five months.

Poland - An Illustrated History



Poland - An Illustrated History
Hippocrene Books 2000 | ISBN: 0781807573 | PDF | 7 Mb | 282 pages

Second publication that concentrates on Poland history, very useful guide.

Hippocrene Books of New York has been commendably active for many years in publishing valuable books in English that are related to Poland. This time it has launched a series of short history books of other countries such as England, France, Korea, Mexico, Russia, and Spain. Their length, in a small book format, is limited to about 200 pages including 50 photos, and this restriction presents quite a challenge for authors. Thus Pogonowski in writing his book faced a formidable problem as to what should be included and what must be greatly shortened or eliminated. He was also expected to review Poland’s cultural history covering literature, religion, social structure, the arts, and even science and architecture. As the publishers tell us, this book is meant for the “traveler, the student, and history enthusiast,” implying that the expected reader is likely to have only a casual interest in thing Polish. Truly serious readers have a much broader selection at their disposal.
