In
June 1944, the Russian Army launched "Operation Bagration", the
largest offensive in military history—eclipsing even D-Day in its
enormity. In a matter of days, a hole hundreds of miles wide was
torn in the German front and Army Group Center was destroyed, with
more than 300,000 casualties—the most costly German defeat of
WWII. East Front Drama is a meticulous examination of how the
German forces on the Eastern Front, under the direction of
Hitler’s favorite Field Marshall, Walter Model, recovered from
this shattering defeat.

OFFICIAL HISTORY OF OPERATIONS ON THE
N.W. FRONTIER OF INDIA 1920-35
A facsimile reprint of the 1936 edition incorporating Parts I,
II and III. The sixteen years between the suppression of tribal
rebels in Waziristan and the unrest which welled up there in 1936
were something of a golden age for the British administration in
the region. The tribes were quiescent and a drive by the
Government to inculcate civilized ideas' went ahead unopposed.
Even as nationalist agitation organised by the Indian National
Congress affected other parts of the sub-continent, the tribes of
the North-West frontier remained quiet.

The first ever
examination of the unknown story of WWII Canadian tank production,
based on official reports & coupled with many recently uncovered
photographs. The vehicles described in this book proved that
Canada was capable of developing & constructing tanks which could
more than hold their own, but the realities of economy of scale
meant that Canadian Divisions eventually came to be equipped with
American Armoured Fighting vehicles.
