In August 1914 the German 2nd Army had the mission of taking
the vital fortresses of Liège and Namur, and defeating the
Anglo- French-Belgian forces in the open plains of northern
Belgium. The attack on the fortress at Liège from 5 to 16 August
1914 had tremendous political and military importance, and yet
there has never been a complete account of the siege. Making use
of both German and Belgian sources, and supported by tactical
maps, this book for the first time describes and evaluates the
construction of the fortress, its military purpose, the German
plan and the conduct of the attack.

A beautifully illustrated history of Northrop's amazing Stealth
Bomber - the batlike B-2 Spirit. Developed using many of Jack
Northrop's Flying Wing theories (and looking remarkably similar
to the revolutionary XB-35 and YB-49 bombers of the 'forties)
the Spirit has truly revolutionised the USAF's ability to
project strategic power on a global scale. Four stealthy B-2s
can deliver the same bombing power as thirty two standard attack
aircraft backed up by twenty eight escort and defence
suppression aircraft and fifteen tankers!
