Murat's Army: The Army of the Kingdom of Naples 1806-1815 Although its crown was initially given to Joseph Bonaparte, the brief history of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Naples will be forever best associated with the reign of King Joachim Murat, Napoleon's famous and flamboyant cavalry commander, from 1808 to 1815. Known more for the splendor of its uniforms than the achievements of its troops, Naples under Murat nevertheless became a major, if short-lived, player on the Italian Peninsula.

King Stephen and the Anarchy: Civil War and Military Tactics in Twelfth-Century Britain The Anarchy, the protracted struggle between Stephen of Blois and the Empress Matilda for the English crown between 1135 and 1154, is often seen as a disastrous breakdown in one of the best-governed kingdoms of medieval Europe. But perhaps the impact of the conflict has been overstated, and its effect on the common people across the country is hard to judge. Describes each phase of this civil war, in particular the castles and sieges that dominated strategic thinking, and sets the fighting in the context of the changing tactics and military systems of the 12th Century. $40.00 USD

Septimius Severus in Scotland: The Northern Campaigns of the First Hammer of the Scots In the early 3rd Century Severus, the aging Roman emperor, launched an immense shock and awe assault on Scotland that was so savage, it resulted in 80 years of peace at Rome's most troublesome border. The book shows how his force of 50,000 troops, supported by the fleet, hacked their way through the Maeatae around the former Antonine Wall, and then pressed on into Caledonian territory up to the Moray Firth. Severus was the first of the great reforming emperors of the Roman military, and his reforms are explained in the context of how he concentrated power around the imperial throne. There is also an in-depth look at the political, economic and social developments that occurred in the Province. $35.00 USD

Anders' Army: General Wladyslaw Anders and the Polish Second Corps 1941-46 Assesses Anders' performance as a military commander, finding him merely adequate, but his political role was more significant and caused friction in the Allied camp.

Indeed, Anders was suspected of collusion in Sikorski's death in July 1943 and of later sending Polish death squads into Poland to eliminate opponents.
