TYRANTS OF SYRACUSE: War in Ancient Sicily – Volume 1: 480-367 BC Covers one of the most important classical cities, Syracuse, and its struggles (both internal and external) for freedom and survival.

The threat of expansionist enemies on all sides made for a tumultuous situation within the city, resulting in repeated coups that created a series of remarkable tyrants, such as Gelon, Timoleon and Dionysius. Includes eight pages of black-and-white plates and ten maps and diagrams. $27.00 USD

ENGLISH COLLUSION AND THE NORMAN CONQUEST Comprehensive analysis of 11th Century warfare as exposed in the record of the Norman Conquest of England. King William I experienced a lifetime of conflict on and off so many battlefields. Examines whether he received an undeserved reputation bestowed on him by clerics ignorant alike of warfare, politics, economics, the secular world, and writing 50 years after events reported to them by doubtful sources. How much of this popular legend was actually created by an avaricious Church? Was William just a lucky, brutal soldier, or was he instead a gifted English King who could meld cultures and talents? This tale of blood, deceit, ambition and power-politics pieces together the self-interested distortion of events, brutalizing conflict, and strategic concerns by analyzing extensive contemporary evidence. $45.00 USD

LEPANTO 1571: Christian and Muslim Fleets Battle for Control of the Mediterranean Re-examines the battle and concludes that, while it merely confirmed a strategic reality that had already emerged during the 16th Century (i.e. that naval supremacy lay with the Sublime Porte in the eastern Mediterranean, and with Habsburg Spain and its Catholic allies in the western Mediterranean), its vital importance was psychological. It sank the perception of Ottoman dominance and the inevitability of Islam's westward encroachment beyond the Balkans. Includes 20 color illustrations. $43.00 USD

STRATEGY & TACTICS QUARTERLY #12: Dreadnoughts – Big-Gun Era of Naval Warfare Few weapons have come and gone so precipitously as the modern battleship. HMS Dreadnought, launched in 1906, instantly made every other battleship obsolete. Though only a single major dreadnought battle was ever fought, at Jutland in 1916, the race continued after the Great War. The sheer expense drove the leading naval powers to the conference table to limit the size of ships and fleets, providing an opening for pariah nations, the soon-to-be Axis, to leap ahead in battleship design, only to be overtaken by greater Allied shipbuilding capacity and the maturation of the aircraft carrier. $20.00 USD
