BOOKS…
EMPEROR MAXENTIUS: The Last Great Roman
Maxentius, Rome's last pagan emperor, is examined through his reign, battles, building projects, and legacy. Analyzes his background and describes the context of the imperial situation of the Tetrarchy leading to his rise. Sifts through all the evidence, architectural, numismatic and inscriptive, attempting to identify where Christian (and Constantinian) bias has warped the truth. Narrates Maxentius' six year reign during a tumultuous time of civil wars, culminating in the dramatic battle of the Milvian Bridge, where he fell. Peels back the later vilification by Christian sources and reveals a capable emperor, a great builder (with a legacy of monuments still visible) and, ironically, a tolerant ruler who ended the Great Persecution of Christians in his territories years before Constantine followed suit. Contains 20 mono illustrations. $35.00 USD

JAMES SELKIRK'S REVOLUTIONARY WAR: The Memoir of a Continental Sergeant

Also contains Selkirk's personal observations and anecdotes about the daily rigors and duties common to an enlisted soldier in Continental service. Discusses how Selkirk endured over seven years of soldiering with the Continental Army and explores how the decision to write his memoir occurred as politicians and citizens debated whether the federal government should enact a pension program in support of the nation's aged and mostly impoverished community of Revolutionary-era veterans.

FEEDING LEE'S ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA
Explores the critical role of food and logistics in sustaining Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Save for a few scattered references in a handful of books, no one has documented how an army was fed or has discussed in any detail the daily eating habits of Confederate soldiers. Although seldom studied, food (or the lack thereof) and the logistics behind it played a critical role during the war, contributed mightily to the success and failure of campaigns, and affected the overall outcome of the conflict. Understanding how soldiers prepared their food, how they ate and, very often, went hungry, is a vital tool to understanding their individual experiences and the larger history of supply and logistics within the Confederate army. Also examines what the Confederate high command ate and explores the relationship between hospitals and food, demonstrating the importance of proper nutrition in the recovery and care of the wounded. Hardy also examines the vital role-played by camp servants, as well as the critical connection between proper nutrition and morale. Contains 37 images and one map. $17.00 USD

GUARDIANS OF THE PASS: America's Rainbow Division Against the Final German Offensive of World War I
Details how the Champagne-Marne Defensive in July 1918 occurred at a crucial moment in World War I and proved to be the turning point of the war; and in specific, focuses on the one American division defending Paris, the 42nd – the Rainbow Division – a unit created from National Guard units from twenty-six states. Untested and new, many in the American Expeditionary Force and French Fourth Army doubted the Rainbow's ability to hold back the surprise German onslaught and prepared for the worst. However, these National Guardsmen, along with their French allies, not only held their ground, they also handed the enemy a devastating defeat that proved crucial to the outcome of the war. Contains 40 illustrations. $33.00 USD
THE BATTLE OF HENGYANG: Japan's Fateful Siege of World War II
Details a battle that was erased from Chinese history books, since it was heroically fought by Chinese Nationalists, in which the Chinese fought back against the Japanese who sought to eliminate American air bases. Explains how the Japanese tried to take Hengyang because it was a key railway junction in south-central China and site of a major U.S. base. The Chinese 10th Army held off a Japanese force totaling more than 110,000 men, supported by aircraft and artillery, for 47 days. Accounts compared the Battle of Hengyang to the German defeat at Stalingrad and to the Battle of Suiyang, the most famous siege in ancient Chinese history, because it blunted the Japanese offensive and led to the fall of Prime Minister Tojo's cabinet. Contains 20 illustrations. $33.00 USD
