Gregory Michno

Forgotten Fights: Little-Known Raids and Skirmishes on the Frontier, 1823 to 1890 [Western Indian Wars, US History]

Mountain Press Publishing Company, 2008. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition. 9780878425495 Bumping to upper corners of boards, firmly bound, contents are clean bright and unmarked. In this unique study, Gregory and Susan Michno chronicle more than three hundred lesser-known but signifi cant conflicts of the western Indian Wars, describing not only skirmishes between Indians and the United States Army, but also Indian raids on civilian settlers and travelers. By shifting attention away from the larger and more famous battles, the authors bring into sharper focus the small-scale confrontations that defi ned the Indian Wars. Forgotten Fights presents vivid accounts of these rarely examined conflicts, giving readers and researchers enlightening glimpses into the unpredictable lives of the emigrants, homesteaders, soldiers, and Indians of the American frontier. An excellent reference book in its own right, it also serves as a supplement to Gregory F. Michno's Encyclopedia of Indian Wars: Western Battles and skirmishes, 1850 1890 (Mountain Press, 2003). Historical and modern photographs enhance the text, while detailed maps pinpoint battle sites. 384 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: History; ISBN/EAN: 9780878425495. Inventory No: dscf11441.

Ronald Millar

Kut: The Death of an Army

Pen & Sword Military, 2017. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9781473892002 Clean unmarked contents, slight stain to fore edge; slight shelfwear to jacket. Kut: The Death of an Army is the fascinating, yet largely forgotten, story of the British-Indian Army, which was besieged in Mesopotamia from 1915 to 1916. It is an expert account of the tragic five-month Turkish siege, in which their enemies essentially outlasted them. The author reveals the day-to-day preoccupations of not only the Anglo-Indian forces, but their enemies - the Turks - as well as local civilians caught in the chaos. Throughout the campaign, the British were beaten back by the Turks, and the ever-prevailent human suffering of the men, so far away from home in this foreign ground, less than helped the cause: starvation, heavy shelling, inadequate medical supplies and disease were all taking their toll. By the end of the campaign, approximately 30,000 British and Indian soldiers had lost their lives. This informative book will be of interest to anyone wanting a concise and accessible introduction to the conflict and will be essential reading for both students of the First World War, as well as those who have a penchant for military history in general. 323 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: History; ISBN/EAN: 9781473892002. Inventory No: dscf10943.

Pankaj Mishra

Age of Anger: A History of the Present SIGNED

Allen Lane, 2017. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Very Good. 9780241278130 Signed by Author. SIGNED by the author. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages; 1" tear to top front edge of jacket-repaired on reverse with sellotape but still visible, slight rubbing to base of spine, "Signed Edition" sticker to front. A valuable book. Mishra's ideas are bold and initially discomfiting - it's a challenge to look over the head of the latest terrorist and try to dispassionately trace his rage back to Voltaire - but it's undeniably good to stretch intellectual muscles and test your own prejudices. Mishra invites us to hear the ugly, muffled shouts beneath the "drumbeat" of Western civilisation. -- Julie McDowall - Sunday Herald 416 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
