ARMY GROUP CENTER: THE WERMACHT IN RUSSIA
1941-1945
by Werner Haupt
The second volume of Haupt's magnificent history of the operations
and battles of the German Army Group Center on the Russian Front in
WWII. Compiled from contemporary German and Soviet documents and
archives as well as combat diaries and documents of the
participating troops, this monumental work is a must for serious
historians and students of the campaigns on the Eastern Front.
The Forgotten War in Iraq, 1914-1917. British naval supremacy
supported the British Army's advance up the Tigris marshlands.
Against heavy odds, the Navy's gunboats provided close artillery
support and transport capability. Beginning as an ad hoc operation
by the Indian Army to secure Western oil supplies, initial
successes were followed by the disastrous surrender at Kut, a
reassessment of strategy and the final triumphant capture of
Baghdad. Inter-tribal rivalries, were faced from the outset, but
with experienced colonial administrators from India, the British
were well-equipped to preserve civil order. The author was the
senior Naval officer on the Tigris.
The Black Watch was formed at Aberfeldy in Perthshire in the early
eighteenth century to guard the approaches to the lawless areas of
the Scottish Highlands. Instantly recognisable by its famous red
hackle cap badge and the traditional dark blue and green tartan
kilt, the regiment was renowned as one of the great fighting units
of the British Army and served with distinction in all major
conflicts from the War of Austrian Succession to the second Iraq
War in 2003. In 2006, as part of a radical review of the UK's
defence policy, The Black Watch was amalgamated into the new Royal
Regiment of Scotland.
