Crosshairs on the Capital: Jubal Early's Raid on Washington, D.C., July 1864 – Reasons, Reactions, and Results. Focuses on the reasons, reactions and results of Jubal Early's raid towards Washington DC in 1864. History has judged it to have been a serious threat to the capital, but James H. Bruns examines how the nature of the Confederate raid on Washington in 1864 has been greatly misinterpreted – Jubal Early's maneuvers were in fact only the latest in a series of annual Southern food raids. It also corrects some of the thinking about Early's raid, including the reason behind his orders from General Lee to cross the Potomac, and the thoughts behind the proposed raid on Point Lookout and the role of the Confederate Navy in that failed effort. Presents a new perspective by explaining why things happened as they did in 1864. It identifies the cause-and-effect connections that are truly the stuff of history, forging some of the critical background links that oftentimes are ignored or overlooked in books dominated by battles and leaders. $35.00 USD

The Siege That Changed the World: Paris 1870-1871. The Siege of Paris from September 1870 to the city's capitulation in January 1871 was the result of Louis Napoleon III, Emperor of France's disastrous decision to declare war on Prussia. The Prussian Army of King William I proved vastly superior to their adversaries. As well as providing a vivid description of the siege and fighting, the author of this well-researched account analyses the long-term effects, be they social, military and political, both on France and wider Europe. He argues that while the siege was not particularly costly in terms of human life, its legacy was the reduction of French global influence, the growth of German militarism, the evolution of international communism, and changes in the world order. $43.00 USD

Asian Armageddon, 1944-45. Third and last book in the war in the Far East trilogy continues and completes the narrative of how a U.S.-led coalition of nations defeated Japan through a series of cataclysmic encounters. Leyte Gulf, the biggest naval battle ever, was testimony to the paramount importance of controlling the ocean, as was the fact that the U.S. Navy carried out the only successful submarine campaign in history, reducing Japan's military and merchant navies to shadows of the former selves. Meanwhile, fighting continued in disparate geographic conditions on land, with the chaos of Imphal, the inferno of Manila, and the carnage of Iwo Jima forming some of the milestones on the bloody road to peace, sealed in Tokyo Bay in September 1945. $35.00 USD

Blackhorse Tales: Stories of 11th Armored Cavalry Troopers at War. The stories – and those of their families – of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (Blackhorse Regiment) represent the Vietnam generation in graphic, sometimes humorous, often heart-wrenching detail. Collected by the author through hundreds of in-person, telephone, and electronic interviews over a period of 25-plus years, these war stories provide context for the companion volume, The Blackhorse in Vietnam. Over the course of the 11th Cavalry's five-and-a-half years in combat in South Vietnam and Cambodia, starting in 1966, over 25,000 young men served in the regiment. These combat vignettes begin on 2 December 1966, when a small column of 1st Squadron vehicles and troopers was ambushed on Highway 1 and emerged victorious despite being outnumbered. They go on to describe the one-of-a-kind crossing of the Dong Nai River on 25 April 1968, as the Blackhorse Regiment rode to the rescue during Mini-Tet 1968, and the 2nd Squadron's fight to clear the Boi Loi Woods in late April 1971. $35.00 USD
