Starting with the amphibious assault on Savo island, the campaign turned into an attritional struggle where the evenly matched foes sought to grind out a victory. $35.00 USD

Books…
God's City: Byzantine Constantinople In the late 11th Century, Constantinople was the largest and wealthiest city in Christendom, the seat of the Byzantine emperor, Christ's vice-regent on earth, and the center of a predominately Christian empire, steeped in Greek cultural and artistic influences, yet founded and maintained by a Roman legal and administrative system. Despite the amalgam of Greek and Roman influences, however, its language and culture was definitely Greek. Constantinople truly was the capital of the Roman empire in the East, and from its founding under the first Constantinus to its fall under the 11th and last Constantinus – the inhabitants always called themselves Romaioi, Romans, not Hellenikes, Greeks. Over its millennium long history, the empire and its capital experienced many vicissitudes that included several periods of waxing and waning and more than one golden age. $40.00 USD

Crucible of the Jacobite '15: The Battle of Sheriffmuir 1715 Just over three centuries ago, there was a major battle in Scotland that was to decide the fate of the newly established – and bitterly contested – union of England and Scotland. On one hand there was a numerically superior army, trained and armed but officered by men of varying experience. Facing them was a small, but better experienced and officered British Army. Both armies; one entirely Scottish and the other a mixture of Scots, English and Irish were led by Scottish noblemen. Victory to either side meant control of the gateway from the highlands to the lowlands and then England, where the political prize awaited. $50.00 USD
