The Winter That Won the War: The Winter Encampment at Valley Forge, 1777-1778 After a campaigning season that saw the defeat at Brandywine, the loss of Philadelphia, the capital of the rebellious British North American colonies, and the reversal at Germantown, George Washington and his harried army marched into Valley Forge on December 19, 1777. What transpired in the next six months prior to the departure from the winter cantonment on June 19, 1778, was truly remarkable. George Washington solidified his hold on the army and endured political intrigue. The quartermaster department revived under new leadership from a former Rhode Island Quaker. A German baron trained the army in the rudiments of being a soldier and military maneuvers. $15.00 USD

Grant's Left Hook: The Bermuda Hundred Campaign, May 5-June 7, 1864 General U.S. Grant sent the 38,000-man Army of The James to Bermuda Hundred, to threaten and possibly take Richmond, or at least pin down troops that could reinforce Lee in Northern Virginia. Jefferson Davis, in desperate need of a capable commander, turned to the Confederacy's first hero: Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard. Butler's 1862 occupation of New Orleans had infuriated the South, but no one more than Beauregard, a New Orleans native. In the hot weeks of May 1864, Butler and Beauregard fought a series of skirmishes and battles to decide the fate of Richmond and Lee's army. $15.00 USD

Trained to fight both mounted and on foot, their priority was to maintain the fast momentum of armored troops on the battlefield. But as defeat approached, they were forced on the defensive on all fronts including the bitter fighting in Italy and the Western Front. As well as describing their many actions, the book details the vehicles and weapons used and main personalities using a wealth of rare, often unpublished, photographs. $23.00 USD

The Nazis' Winter Warfare on the Eastern Front 1941-1945: Rare Photographs from Wartime Archives (Images of War) As the Germans closed in on Moscow, the Soviet 1941/42 winter counter offensive changed the course of the war, helped by Russian winter conditions and the Germans' woeful lack of preparedness. Wehrmacht and SS units only began to be issued with winter clothing in late 1941, and many had to improvise well into 1942. Commanders had to adapt to the snow, freezing conditions and, almost worse, the impassable roads during the melt. With customary thoroughness and drastic measures, the Germans largely mastered the climatic challenges but nothing could mask the reality of the ruthless and numerically superior enemy that they faced. Includes extracts from the German The Winter Warfare Handbook (Winter Buch) of 1942. $23.00 USD

Stalin's War on Japan: The Red Army's 'Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation', 1945 Describes the political, diplomatic, and military build-up to the Soviet offensive and its decisive outcome. The military side of the story is explored in the invasion of Manchukuo where the Soviet Deep Battle concept was employed with shattering results, plus secondary actions in Korea, Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands. But equally absorbing is the account of the decision-making that gave rise to the offensive and the political and diplomatic background to it, and in particular the Yalta conference. There, Stalin allowed the Americans to persuade him to join the war in the east; a conflict he was determined on entering anyway. He also considers to what extent Japan's capitulation is attributable to the atomic bomb or the stunningly successful entry of the Soviet Union into the conflict. $35.00 USD
