Uniform Guides…
German Army Uniforms of World War II: A Photographic Guide to Clothing, Insignia and Kit Fully illustrated book examines the German Army's wide range of uniforms, personal equipment, weapons, medals, and awards. Offers a comprehensive guide to the transformation that the German Army soldier underwent in the period from September 1939 to May 1945. After World War I, the defeated and much-reduced German Army developed new clothing and personal equipment that drew upon the lessons learned in the trenches. In place of the wide variety of uniforms and insignia that had been worn by the Imperial German Army, a standardized approach was followed, culminating in the uniform items introduced in the 1930s as the Nazi Party came to shape every aspect of German national life. The outbreak of war in 1939 prompted further adaptations and simplifications of uniforms and insignia, while the increasing use of camouflaged items and the accelerated pace of weapons development led to the appearance of new clothing and personal equipment. $45.00 USD

Italy, Piedmont and the War of Spanish Succession: 1701-1712 The War of Spanish Succession is well known in English concerning Flanders and Germany, but not that much concerning Spain, and not at all about Italy. The Italian front was so important that the French considered it as important as the German one, and committed there their best generals. William III considered it to be far more important than Spain, and, in spite of having no British army there, after King William's death, London committed 1/10 of her war expenses to it. It was considered so important in Vienna that the Emperor sent his best general there. Last, it was the front where all the French hopes to subject Europe died in Turin in 1706 after the first dramatic loss they suffered after Blenheim in 1704. Includes 185 black-and-white illustrations, maps and plans, 16-pages color plates. $50.00 USD

The Rescue They Called A Raid: The Jameson Raid 1895-96 125 years ago, Leander Starr Jameson sought to expand the British Empire in South Africa with the backing of a mere 500 men.
