Battlegroup! – The Lessons of the Unfought Battles of the Cold War – Jim Storr
Investigates the unfought land battles of the Cold War on the Central Front. It focuses on the 1980s, looking solely at high-intensity, conventional warfare; largely from NATO's perspective. It concentrates on the lower tactical levels: from company to brigade, or perhaps division, while considers the tactics, organization and equipment of the American, British, West German, French, and Soviet armies. It discusses what battles would have been fought; then how they would have been fought; and, lastly, what we can learn from that.
This is not a counterfactual history. It does not attempt to say who would have won the Third World War. It explodes some myths that will be uncomfortable reading for some, and contentious in places. Essential reading for anyone interested in warfare of the last decade of the Cold War.

Justinian II – The Roman Emperor Who Lost His Nose & His Throne & Regained Both – Peter Crawford
Justinian II became Roman emperor at a time when the Empire was beset by external enemies. His forces gained success against the Arabs and Bulgars, but his religious and social policies fueled internal opposition which resulted in him being deposed and mutilated (his nose was cut off) in 695. After a decade in exile, during which he strangled two would-be assassins with his bare hands, he regained power through a coup d'etat with the backing of the erstwhile Bulgar enemy.
His second reign was seemingly harsher and again beset by both external and internal threats and dissension over doctrinal matters. An energetic and active ruler, his reign saw developments in various areas, including numismatics, administration, finance and architecture, but he was deposed a second time in 711 and beheaded. Drawing on all the available evidence and the most recent research, Peter Crawford makes a long-overdue re-assessment of Justinian's colorful but troubled career and asks if he fully deserves his poor reputation.
