Kohima: The Furthest Battle

Spellmount, 2009. First Edition, Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9781862274884 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages; slight creasing to jacket edges. A well-kept copy. By the end of 1943 the Japanese had occupied most of South-East Asia. On 6 March 1944, the first units of the Japanese 15 Army crossed the inhospitable border of what was then Burma, and invaded India. At the township of Kohima they were met by a small, hastily assembled force of Indian and British troops, later reinforced by 2 Division of Slim's 14 Army, who fought valiantly and forced the Japanese to retreat. Described by Mountbatten as 'the British/Indian Thermopylae', Kohima was a turning point in Japanese fortunes, heralding their continued defeat in battle until their formal surrender on 2 September 1945. Using extensive research in primary sources and many previously unpublished first-hand accounts, Leslie Edwards presents a definitive analysis of this pivotal battle. 480 pages.

Lincoln's Senior Generals: Photographs and Biographical Sketches of the Major Generals of the Union Army

Schiffer Publishing, 2012. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Near Fine. 9780764340352 Top corner snipped from front endpaper, light age spotting to closed text block, clean unmarked pages; light wear to jacket edges. President Abraham Lincoln appointed 133 Major Generals to lead the union army. Their photographs and biographical sketches are provided in this candid view of the union war effort and its high command. These senior union commanders came from varied civilian and military backgrounds. One thing in common was their inexperience in leading large armies in the field. As the war progressed so did their effectiveness in leading thousands of union troops in massive battles with confederate forces. Some of the generals rose to post-war military and political prominence others faded into obscurity. Featured here are rare cartes de visite (CDV), as well as other rare period images. 400 pages.

Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank 1988 to present [2018]. Owner's Workshop Manual

Haynes, 2018. Hardcover. Fine Condition. 9781785211904 Clean unmarked pages, very slight wear to boards. Although it follows the standard Haynes format, this book is definitely a bit wordier than the average "workshop manual." While there's still plenty of excellent diagrams and photographs, a substantial chunk of the text is devoted to the development of British MBTs in the second half of the Cold War, the introduction of the tank into service, and first-hand accounts from crewmembers who fought in the Iraq War. For once this doesn't feel like potted history; the level of detail in the historical sections is fairly substantial and added to my overall understanding of the tank's design. The technical sections are also fairly well done, with quite a few "how it works" bits (how to start the engine, how to engage an enemy tank, etc.), a photographic "walkthrough" of a tank's interior, and descriptions of each CR2 variant. (Reader review) 192 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Military & Warfare; ISBN/EAN: 9781785211904. Inventory No: dscf10408.
