Tantor Media is the sponsor for these updates. My apologies yesterday I was posting with my other advertising account. I am posting Tantor releases that are of interest to the TMP community since we often publish military history and most of us are avid readers. Listening to audio is my favorite pastime while I'm painting miniatures or traveling for work.

I forgot to mention a very good title we did on Allied special forces in the ETO -- THE JEDBURGHS By Will Irwin. I got lots of ideas for skirmish scenarios listening to this book:

The story of the Special Forces in World War II has never fully been told before. Information about them began to be declassified only in the 1980s. Known as the Jedburghs, these Special Forces were selected from members of the British, American, and Free French armies to be dropped in teams of three deep behind German lines. There, in preparation for D-Day, they carried out what we now know as unconventional warfare: supporting the French Resistance in guerrilla attacks, supply-route disruption, and the harassment and obstruction of German reinforcements. Always, they operated against extraordinary odds. They had to be prepared to survive pitched battles with German troops and Gestapo manhunts for weeks and months while awaiting the arrival of Allied ground forces. They were, in short, heroes.

Our titles are also available for download from Audible.com. This one is found at this link:

Thanks, I'll keep you posted on new titles on WW II ground combat as they are published.
