BOOKS…
THE BATTLE OF LISSA, 1866: How the Industrial Revolution Changed the Face of Naval Warfare Covers the campaign of Lissa and explores the progress of naval shipbuilding and tactics in the period leading up to 1866, together with the development of the Italian and Austrian navies. Once the Industrial Revolution spread through mainland Europe, it was often in France that important breakthroughs were made, though contrary to the opinion of earlier historians, the British Admiralty kept a close watch on technological progress. The outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861 powerfully accelerated developments in all aspects of warship design. As other navies adopted the latest technology, it became apparent that the tactics of naval warfare must also change. In 1866, Italy, in alliance with Prussia, went to war against Austria, having built up a substantial fleet of ironclads. The Austrians, too, had also acquired a number of ironclads. $55.00 USD

MACCHI C.202 FOLGORE: Italy's Best Fighter of the Second World War The performance of the Macchi C.202 was superior to both the Hawker Hurricane and the Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk, and on a par with the Supermarine Spitfire Mk. V. It is not by chance that virtually all the Italian top-scoring aces flew this plane, either with the Regia Aeronautica or the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana. At the same time, the Mc.202 is the symbol of the dysfunctions in the Italian military-industrial complex: the lack of sound industrial planning resulting in orders from the Regia Aeronautica for an exaggerated number of different aircraft; the lack of the development of adequate engines limiting aircraft performance and reducing capacity to house weapons with a proper punch; the corruption of politics and the culpable connivance of the high military spheres. The MC.202 was therefore produced in limited numbers, but the air war, especially in the African theater, would have been different had the aircraft been adopted before. $45.00 USD

THE WAFFEN SS AT ARNHEM: Images of War Series Drawing on rare and unpublished photographs, this volume in the Images of War series work reveals the historical combat record of the 'Hohenstaufen' and 'Frundsberg' divisions. It describes the intensity of the fighting in and around Arnhem in 1944 between these elite SS and supporting units against a lightly armed yet equally determined enemy. In spite of the war being only months away from its end and the defeat increasingly certain, the SS soldiers of the 9th and 10th SS Panzer Divisions remained fanatically motivated. $27.00 USD

THE WAFFEN SS IN NORMANDY, 1944: Images of War Series Describes how the formidable Leibstandarte, Das Reich, Hitlerjugend, Hohenstaufen, and the Frundsberg SS divisions with supporting Wehrmacht divisions fought fanatically despite facing overwhelming enemy airpower and determined well-led Allied armies. Mounting losses and supply and fuel problems culminated in the Falaise Pocket defeat, when 25 out of the 38 German divisions were completely destroyed. As a result, the remaining Waffen-SS units had to be reluctantly withdrawn and transferred back to Holland and Belgium to recoup, or sent to the Eastern Front to attempt to stem the relentless Soviet advance. $23.00 USD

7 SECONDS TO DIE: A Military Analysis of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War and the Future of Warfighting The Second Nagorno-Karabakh war – fought between Armenia and Azerbaijan between September 24 and November 10, 2020 – was the first war in history won primarily by unmanned systems. This 44-day war resulted in a decisive military victory for Azerbaijan. Armenia was outfought, outnumbered and outspent, and lost even though they controlled the high ground in a mountainous region that favored traditional defense. Azerbaijan's alliance with Turkey, and close technological support from Israel, strategically isolated Armenia. In addition, Turkey's posturing influenced the Russians not to intervene to support Armenia. That Azerbaijan attacked Armenia during the pandemic was an additional factor. The fact that Azerbaijan won the war is not extraordinary, considering the correlation of forces arrayed against Armenia. What is exceptional is that this was the first modern war primarily decided by unmanned weapons. In this war, the Turkish-made BAYRAKTAR TB2 Unmanned Air Combat Vehicle (UCAV) and the Israeli-made HAROP Loitering Munition (LM) dominated the fighting and provided Azerbaijan with a war-winning advantage. $23.00 USD
