The Trojan War as Military History. Assumes that the Iliad, notwithstanding the fantastical/mythological elements (the involvement of gods and demigods), is the earliest detailed description of warfare we have. Stripping away the myths, it analyses the epic and combines it with other textual and archaeological evidence to produce a coherent narrative of the conflict and of Bronze Age warfare in the Aegean. Presents a detailed analysis of Mycenaean Greek armies – their composition and organization, the warriors' weapons, armor and tactics, and those of their enemies. Finds sophisticated combined-arms forces blending massed infantry with missile troops and chariots, employing open battle, deception and special operations in what amounted to total war. The author's detailed examination of the mechanics of Bronze Age combat is enriched by his use of insights from experimental archaeology using replica equipment. Also covers the minutiae of heroic duels and the geopolitical relationship of the Mycenaean Greeks with their rivals across the Aegean. $43.00 USD

War Along the Wabash: The Ohio Indian Confederacy's Destruction of the U.S. Army, 1791. Describes how a small band of determined Native Americans defended their homeland in 1791, destroyed an invading American army led by Arthur St. Clair, and forced a fundamental shift in the way in which the United States waged war. Also puts the battle into the context of the last quarter of the 18th Century, exploring how the central importance of land ownership to Europeans arriving in North America resulted in unrelenting demographic pressure on indigenous tribes, as well as the enormous obstacles standing in the way of the fledgling American Republic in paying off its enormous war debts. $38.00 USD

Hood's Defeat Near Fox's Gap: Prelude to Emancipation. Analysis of Confederate Brigadier General John Bell Hood's troop movements during the battle of South Mountain. For the past 160 years, all other authors misplaced Hood's troop positions on the Fox's Gap battlefield by approximately a half-mile. The actual location of Hood's attack reconfigures the entire placement of the competing forces in the battle and, thus, the conclusions one makes about the struggle. The failure to understand the topographical characteristics of the battlefield led other writers to make false assumptions about Hood's movement. $35.00 USD

Dark Waters, Starry Skies: The Guadalcanal-Solomons Campaign, March-October 1943. Analysis combines with microscopic attention to detail and an engaging style to describe how, despite missteps and misfortunes, the tide of the Pacific War finally turned in the Allies' favor. By the end of February 1944, thanks to hard-fought and costly American victories in the first and second naval battles of Guadalcanal, the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay, and the Battle of Cape St. George, the Japanese would no longer hold the materiel or skilled manpower advantage. From this point on, although the war was still a long way from being won, the American star was unquestionably on the ascendant, slowly, but surely, edging Japanese imperialism towards its sunset. $35.00 USD

Magazines With Wargames…
World at War #89: The Crimean Campaign 1941-1942 (Wargame). Strategic-level, two-player wargame (with strong operational undertones) of low-intermediate complexity covering the fighting across the peninsula that climaxed with the German capture of Sevastopol. The game's action took place historically between 28 October 1941 and 4 July 1942. The first date marks the German entry into the Crimea via the Perekop Isthmus, while the second marks the end of organized Soviet resistance across the whole peninsula. Those nine calendar months are divided into chronologically varied and unequal numbers of turns. That approach allows for the convenient simulation of the ebbs and flows in the action that took place due to bad weather and logistical and command-control constraints. Magazine articles include Japan's Indian Ocean Raid, Strategic Heavy Lift, and Fortress Battle 1944. Components: 22 x 34 inch map, 228 9⅙" die-cut counters, and magazine. $50.00 USD
