Osprey Books…
Valley of the Shadow: The Siege of Dien Bien Phu Defending a series of fortified positions which were reliant upon a single airstrip – and later, risky and inaccurate airdrops – for reinforcement and resupply, the French troops quickly discovered that they had underestimated their enemy. In 56 days of costly close-quarters fighting, the Vietnamese People's Army slowly dislodged the French from one strongpoint after another by developing novel tactics and accomplishing incredible feats of engineering. Draws upon Vietnamese-language sources never previously employed in Western accounts of the siege to tell of the climactic battle of the First Indochina War. $21.00 USD

The Battleship U.S.S. Iowa Anatomy of a Ship series. U.S.S. Iowa (BB-61) was the lead ship in one of the most famous classes of battleships ever commissioned into the U.S. Navy. Transferred to the Pacific Fleet in 1944, the Iowa first fired her guns in anger in the Marshall Islands campaign, and sunk her first enemy ship, the Katori. The Iowa went on to serve across a number of pivotal Pacific War campaigns, including at the battles of the Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf. It ended the war spending several months bombarding the Japanese Home Islands before the surrender in August 1945. After taking part in the Korea War, the Iowa was decommissioned in 1958, before being briefly reactivated in the 1980s as part of President Reagan's 600-Ship Navy Plan. After being decommissioned a second and final time in 1990, the Iowa is now a museum ship in Los Angeles. Illustrated with contemporary photographs, scaled plans of the ship, and superb 3D illustrations. $60.00 USD

Britain's Last Invasion: The Battle of Fishguard 1797 The Battle of Fishguard, a military invasion of Great Britain by Revolutionary France, consisted mainly of drunken Frenchmen rampaging around the area, burning churches and terrorizing the locals. The role and courage of the women of Fishguard is revealed: when the men fled, the women stayed fast. Learn how the town cobbler Jemima Nicholas – armed with only a pitchfork – captured twelve enemy soldiers. The attempted invasion lasted just three days, but following the attempt, the government recognized the need to strengthen the British fleet, a policy that almost certainly helped prevent Napoleon's later planned invasion. $40.00 USD
