The US 101st Airborne Division in
Operation Iraqi Freedom, February, 2003 to March, 2004. The
story of 16,000 soldiers in combat, from the training
grounds of Fort Campbell, through the toughest battles in
the blitz of Baghdad to the Nineveh province, where the
101st Airborne Division anchored for eight months after the
overthrow of Saddam Hussein. Without precedent or a plan,
the division sketched the blueprint to win the peace -
rebuilding schools and health clinics, re-establishing
the local infrastructure and buildingtrust with the local
people.
When a band of Norman adventurers
arrived in southern Italy to fight in the Lombard
insurrections against the Byzantine empire in the early
1000s, few would have predicted that within a few
generations some of these men would seize control of Apulia,
Campania, Calabria and Sicily. How did they make such
extraordinary gains and then consolidate their power? this
absorbing study, seeks to answer these questions and throw
light onto the Norman conquests across the Mediterranean
which were even more remarkable than those achieved in
France and England.

Subtitled 'Morale Under Attack?'
this is a Celebration of Squaddie Humour. A Comical
Compilation of British Military Humour contributed by
military personnel from the British Army, Navy and Air
Force, some of the descriptions of the mad, bad and
dangerous antics of servicemen on and off duty, are enough
to scare the living daylights out of the average civilian,
whilst others would cause even a hardened RSM to blush - but
they will all be recognised as true to life by anyone who
has served in the armed forces.
