The Tale Untwisted: General George B. McClellan, the Maryland Campaign, and the Discovery of Lee's Lost Orders. The discovery of Robert E. Lee's Special Orders No. 191 outside of Frederick, Maryland, on September 13, 1862, is one of the most important and hotly disputed events of the American Civil War. For more than 150 years, historians have debated if George McClellan, commander of the Union Army of the Potomac, dawdled after receiving a copy of the orders before warily advancing to challenge Lee's forces atop South Mountain. Explains in exhaustive fashion how McClellan in fact moved with uncharacteristic energy to counter the Confederate threat and take advantage of Lee's divided forces, seizing the initiative and striking a blow in the process that wrecked Lee's plans and sent his army reeling back toward Virginia. $19.00 USD

A Taste of Success: The First Battle of the Scarpe. The Opening Phase of the Battle of Arras, 9-14 April 1917. Hardback version. Covers the Battle of Arras, sometimes called The Forgotten Battle, that was wedged between the battles of the Somme and Passchendaele. Shows us how infantry tactics had improved, and how the use of artillery had become a fine art in supporting the men as they attacked; how a preliminary artillery bombardment left the German defenders shattered, but also created the conditions that would hinder any kind of rapid movement once the first lines were broken. The key role of the Royal Flying Corps, how tanks were used, and the vital role of support units such as the Royal Engineers are all examined in detail. Includes 16 pages of color illustrations and maps, 35 black-and-white photos, 43 black-and-white maps, and three tables. $70.00 USD

The RAF's Cross-Channel Offensive: Circuses, Ramrods, Rhubarbs and Rodeos 1941-1942. In November 1940, Marshal of the Royal Air Force Hugh Montague Trenchard showed up again at the Air Ministry and proposed that the RAF should Lean Towards France – that it should go on the offensive. The RAF would, claimed Trenchard, win the resulting battle of attrition. One of the main outcomes of the RAF's new offensive stance was the introduction of the Circus sorties. These were attacks undertaken by a small force of bombers with a powerful fighter escort. They were intended to lure enemy fighters into the air so that they could be engaged by RAF fighters, the primary objective being the destruction of Luftwaffe fighters, followed by the protection of the bombers from attack. Further developments of the Circus missions were Ramrods, Rhubarbs, and Rodeos, all of which were variations on the same theme. $50.00 USD
