From Gazavat to Jihad. The shocking
events of the Moscow airport terrorist attack in January,
2011 made it clear that the North Caucasus insurgency was
still strong despite the Kremlin’s announcement in 2008 that
the conflict was over. Russia was promised a “year of blood
and tears”, and this threatened the 2014 Sochi Olympics. The
author, a military expert on Russia and insurgency, offers
the definitive guide on the conflict in Southern Russia,
explaining why the Russian counter terrorism efforts have
failed and why terrorist attacks in Russia have sharply
increased over recent years.

HISTORY OF NO. 30 SQUADRON: EGYPT AND MESOPOTAMIA 1914 TO 1919
by Major J. Everidge
A Reprint of the Original Air Ministry Historical Branch manuscript of 30 Squadron RAF's operations against the Turks in Mesopotamia (Iraq) in the Great War. The book spans the period from the siege and fall of Kut to the occupation of Baghdad and beyond. Equipped at first with seaplanes converted for use on land, the squadron later used unreliable Farmans. It gained air superiority over the Turks, who flew German Fokker and Albatros aircraft, when re-equipped with BE2Cs, Voisins, and later with 120 Martinsydes.
