544 Italian Colonial Troops 1882-1960. Men at Arms series. Describes and illustrates the dress and equipment used by these forces and details how they were deployed to maintain a colonial empire for over half a century. Italy only unified as a nation in 1870 and was late, and therefore impatient, in the scramble for Africa. An initial foothold in Eritrea/Somalia, north-east Africa, led to a disastrous defeat in Ethiopia in 1896 at the Battle of Adwa, but Italian Somaliland was later consolidated on the west coast of the Red Sea. During 1911, Italy also invaded Libya, securing the coast, however fighting continued throughout World War I and only ended in the early 1930s. $19.00 USD

545 Medieval Indian Armies (1): Hindu, Buddhist and Jain. Men at Arms series. Investigates the traditions and enduring conservatism of non-Islamic medieval Indian warfare, notably evident in recruitment patterns and the significance of archery and cavalry. The role and impact of war-elephants, both positive and negative, are also considered, as well as the influence of climate and weather (notably the seasonal monsoon) on warfare in this region. As well as assessing arms and armor – contrasting the advanced technology and high status of Indian weapons (especially swords) with the remarkable lack of metallic armor in the region during this period – the author also explores siege warfare and riverine and naval warfare in South Asia. Assesses the contributing factors identified by those who have sought to explain why the huge wealth and substantial populations of the traditional non-Islamic Indian states did not prevent their persistent failure in the face of Islamic invasion and conquest. $19.00 USD

029 The Kamikaze Campaign 1944-45: Imperial Japan's Last Throw of the Dice. Air Combat series. Examines the decisions behind the kamikaze campaign, how it developed, how it became a key part of Japanese strategy, and the missions themselves. Although the attacks started on an almost ad hoc basis, the kamikaze soon became a major Japanese policy. By the end of the war, Japan was manufacturing aircraft specifically for kamikaze missions, including a rocket-powered manned missile. A plan for a massive use of kamikazes to defend the Japanese Home Islands from invasion was developed, but never executed because of Japan's surrender in August 1945. Packed with diagrams, maps and 3D reconstructions of the attacks, this book also assesses the Allied mitigation techniques and strategies and the reasons and the degree to which they were successful. $24.00 USD

Smashing Hitler's Guns: The Rangers at Pointe Du Hoc D-Day 1944. Takes a fresh and comprehensive look at the June 6, 1944, attack on Pointe-du-Hoc, examining the creation of the German gun battery, the initial Allied intelligence assessments of the threat, and the early plans to assault the site. The forgotten Allied bombing attacks on Pointe-du-Hoc are detailed, as well as the subsequent Allied intelligence investigations of the results. While most accounts of Pointe-du-Hoc are based on the published U.S. Army history, the author has tracked down the long-forgotten original, unedited report in the archives that contains a number of curious changes from the better-known and widely accepted version. Little-known interviews of the rangers who took part in the mission also shed fresh light and a significant number of German records provide the enemy perspective of the battle for control of the guns. $35.00 USD
