Books…
Eylau 1807 Battle of Preussisch-Eylau, fought in extreme weather conditions, under blizzards and temperatures of much below zero between the Great Armee and the Russians of Benningsen on 8 February 1807, has been called the most epic of Napoleon's battles, that which saw the greatest cavalry charge in history, led by Murat at the head of more than 10,000 troopers, but also the most controversial. [Italian text]. $42.00 USD
Desperate Sunset: Japan's Kamikazes Against Allied Ships 1944-45 Fully illustrated throughout, Desperate Sunset examines the development and evolution of the kamikaze using first-hand accounts, combat reports and archived histories. The Japanese High Command decided that the way to inflict maximum damage on the superior enemy forces was to get the poorly trained Japanese pilots to crash their explosive-laden aircraft onto their target, essentially turning themselves into a guided missile. The kamikazes announced themselves in the immediate aftermath of the Leyte Gulf naval battles, sinking the U.S.S St. Lo and damaging several other ships. The zenith of the kamikaze came in the battle of Okinawa, which included ten kikusui (Floating Chrysanthemum) operations which involved up to several hundred aircraft attacking the U.S. fleet. $45.00 USD
