Austrian Cuirassier of the Seven Years War: Military Colours Vol. 9 Customers will know that Stephen's Austrian Seven Years War Cavalry is now out-of-print. A straight reprint is impracticable because of the volume of new information. For that reason, we are dividing the subject and now placing it in our popular military Colours series.
This is the comprehensive, definitive reference to Austrian heavy cavalry of the period. Do you need it 'cos you already have the original hardback edition? Yes, you do. If for no other reason than I would suggest the 44 exquisitely-drawn illustrations of standards would be a reason – not to mention photographs of surviving standards. The truth is that not only is this a thorough overhaul of the information provided (always a tricky area as the original sources conflict so much), but the picture quality has been upgraded to dazzling standard. $28.00 USD

Liberty or Death: Latin American Conflicts, 1900-70 From the Banana Wars of the early 20th Century through to the Football War of 1969, South and Central America has been a hotbed of revolutions, rebellions and conflicts as diverse as they are numerous. Some were small-scale affairs involving the poorly armed forces of Central American armies with rifles, machetes and a few aged machineguns. Others were full-scale conflicts involving sophisticated armies equipped with tanks, artillery and aircraft, and hundreds of thousands of troops. These wars often went largely unreported in the West, which was preoccupied with its own problems in fighting two world wars and dealing with Cold War tensions. Fully illustrated with a wealth of rare photographs, this fascinating story sheds light on seven decades of a continent in conflict that is rarely covered in English. $40.00 USD

The Diary of Lieutenant Ernst Meier of the Westphalian Garde Chevau-Legers, the Brunswick Hussars and 2nd Dragoons King's German Legion 1809-1815 Fascinating short memoir. Ernst was captured in 1809 by the Austrians and transferred to the Duke of Brunswick's Black Hussars, who eventually took sea to Britain to continue fighting against Napoleon. He then joined the 2nd Dragoons of the KGL, being sent to the Peninsula in October 1813 to witness the closing events, including Toulouse. He served in the Army of Occupation in 1815. $32.00 USD

The Waterloo Archive Vol. VII: British Sources, Being the Ken Trotman Waterloo Archive Vol. I We are delighted to announce that Ken Trotman Publishing has taken over the prestigious Waterloo Archive series. This is a continuation of the series (but with slightly different covers). The good news is that there are many more volumes to come, including, hopefully, German and Dutch sources. Gareth's searching of original accounts that are unknown is relentless. This present volume contains original British accounts that have come to light since, including many from the other ranks, important officer's accounts including from the 1st Foot Guards, and a concentration upon support services. More, much more, is to follow. $40.00 USD
Mussolini's Afrika Korps: The Italian Army in North Africa, 1940-1943 Trye does a reasonable job describing the orders of battle and the basic gear/equipment available for Italian forces in North Africa. There are a multitude of pictures from both sides included which go well with the text in each chapter. The battle descriptions are rudimentary at best, however, and seem primarily focused on log books and diaries, giving fragmented but telling pictures of the Italian viewpoint. These are rare first-person accounts, but I still would like to have seen more context with actual events on-going to reflect just how accurate these accounts were. Overall, this is a decent book that was easy to read. Its best features are the solid bibliography and very nice photos. $48.00 USD

Japanese Army Air Force Units and Their Aces: 1931-1945 Hitherto only available in Japanese text, this unique work is now published in English-language format, and provides an in-depth review of the fighter units of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force and their pilots. Commencing with a detailed study of the development, equipment and operations flown by this force since its inception immediately after the end of World War I, until the catastrophic conclusion of World War II, the initial section deals with the wars in China and Manchuria, as well as the Pacific War of 1941-45.
The second section provides details of each of the units, from formation onward, listing the types of aircraft used, the bases from which they flew, and the unit and formation commanders. Details of the more notable actions in which each unit was involved are also provided. Biographical notes relating to all of the more notable fighter pilots form the third section, whilst the book is liberally provided with supporting listings and a glossary of Japanese terms. The whole is heavily illustrated with photographs of the majority of the pilots and of typical aircraft of many of the units, together with line drawings indicating the unit markings carried. $38.00 USD
