ANTIOCHUS THE GREAT A teenage king in 223BC, Antiochus III inherited an empire in shambles, ravaged by civil strife, and eroded by territorial secessions. He proved himself a true heir of Alexander: he defeated rebel armies and embarked on a campaign of conquest and reunification. At the height of his powers, he challenged growing Roman power, unimpressed by their recent successes against Carthage and Macedon. His expeditionary force was crushed at Thermopylae and evacuated. Refusing to bow before Roman demands, Antiochus energetically mobilized against Roman invasion, but was again decisively defeated at the epic battle of Magnesia. $27.00 USD

THE GREEK HOPLITE PHALANX: The Iconic Heavy Infantry of the Classical Greek World Overview of the current state of hoplite aspects, from fighting techniques to the social and economic background of the 'hoplite revolution.' Offers a new perspective on the hoplite phalanx by putting it in the context of other military developments in the Mediterranean world in the middle of the first millennium BC. Argues that the Greek phalanx was different in degree, but not in kind, from other contemporary heavy infantry formations and examines the similarities with other equivalent formations. $53.00 USD

THE LONG WAR FOR BRITANNIA 367-664: Arthur and the History of Post-Roman Britain Recounts some two centuries of 'lost' British history while providing decisive proof that multiple early record references recorded the same events in the same year. Asserts that only the transition to Anno Domini dating centuries afterward that distorts our perceptions. Demonstrates that King Arthur and Uther Pendragon are the very opposite of medieval fantasy. Current scholarly doubts arose from the fact that different British regions had very different memories of post-Roman British rulers. Some remembered Arthur as the 'Proud Tyrant', a monarch who plunged the island into civil war. Others recalled him as the British general who saved Britain when all seemed lost. The deeds of Uther Pendragon replicate the victories of the dread Mercian king Penda. These authentic-yet-radically-different narratives distort history to this very day. $43.00 USD

CHARLES X'S WARS: Volume 1 – Armies of the Swedish Deluge, 1655-1660 Describes and analyses the 'Swedish Deluge' (potop szwedski) – the devastating 1655-1660 wars fought between Sweden, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Brandenburg-Prussia, Muscovite Russia, Transylvania, Cossack Ukraine, the Tatar Khanate of Crimea, and the Holy Roman Empire during the reign of Swedish King Charles X Gustavus. Focuses on the Swedish-Commonwealth war, which provoked the political and military collapse of the Commonwealth. However, since this conflict cannot be disentangled from the simultaneous wars between the Commonwealth and Muscovy, from 1654 to 1667, and between Sweden and Muscovy, from 1656 to 1661, both are described as well. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Cossacks fought for freedom from what they perceived as the oppression of the Commonwealth. $40.00 USD

WE CAME, WE SAW, GOD CONQUERED: The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's military effort in the relief of Vienna, 1683 Detailed information about organization and strength of the army that Jan III led to Vienna: structure, weapons and equipment of the units, even on the company level. All formations, from winged hussars to artillery, are covered. Command staff – from King to high-ranking officers – will be presented as well. Book doesn't focus solely on relief of Vienna though. Remaining actions of the 1683's campaign are described as well, with both battles of Parkany and arrival of Lithuanian army, Polish and Cossack actions in Podolia and Moldavia, that were always in shadow of main events of 1683; finally organization and military actions of troops under command of Hieronim Augustyn Lubomirski, raised as Imperial auxiliary division in Poland.

L'INFANTERIE DE LIGNE: Volume 1: 1776-1820 For Napoleon, 'the infantry is the soul of the army' it effectively brings together most of the combatants present under the flags. Apart from the special case of the Imperial Guard, the French infantry was divided into two broad categories: line infantry and light infantry. The first forms the big battalion of this fighting mass. The 120 images and accompanying descriptions present the soldiers of the Line infantry from the infantry of Louis XVI to those of Charles X without forgetting, of course, the infantry of the Revolution and the Emperor's grumblers.

SS FOREIGN DIVISIONS & VOLUNTEERS of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, 1941-1945: Images of War Series Offers a superb collection of rare and unpublished photographs. Unlike her Latvian neighbor, Lithuania had no plans to provide Germany with a National Legion. Although volunteers came forward, the majority did not. This was not the case for Latvia and Estonia, which undertook huge recruitment programs, and thousands of men were drafted into their own foreign legion of Waffen-SS Grenadier divisions. After intensive training, these divisions saw action on the Eastern Front, around Leningrad, and in the Ukraine, before defensive operations in the Baltic States in 1944. $23.00 USD
