INFERNO IN CHECHNYA

by Brian Glyn Williams 

Russian-Chechen Wars, the Al Qaeda Myth, and the Boston Marathon Bombings. In April, 2013, the United States suffered its worst terrorist bombing since 9/11 at the annual Boston Marathon. When the culprits turned out to be U.S. residents of Chechen descent, Americans were shocked. Why would members of an obscure Russian minority group consider America their enemy? This is the first book to answer the riddle by tracing the roots of the attack to the Caucasus Mountains of southern Russia. Brian Glyn Williams describes the tragic history of the bombers’ war-devastated homeland, showing how the conflict there influenced the rise of Europe’s deadliest homegrown terrorist network.

HIGH TIDE IN THE KOREAN WAR

by Leo Barron 

How an Outnumbered American Regiment Defeated the Chinese at the Battle of Chipyong-ni. By early 1951, American forces and their UN allies had been driven more than 100 miles down the Korean peninsula by the Chinese. The situation was bleak when Gen. Matthew Ridgway ordered a last stand at the village of Chipyong-ni. There a single regiment (the 23rd Infantry) of fewer than 5,000 soldiers defeated a Chinese division of 25,000 men in what has been called the Gettysburg of the Korean War.

MAN OF STEEL AND HONOUR: GENERAL STANISLAW MACZEK

by Evan McGilvray 

General Stanislaw Maczek has been overlooked by most military historians in the West. Born in 1892, he was conscripted into the Imperial Austrian Army, with which he served with great credit on the Italian Front. It was this experience which was to serve Maczek well in his future career in the Polish Army. He is remembered for his pioneering use of mixed armour and infantry as well as commando-style units during the Polish border wars of 1918-1920. He should also be recognised as being the saviour of the Normandy Campaign, which by August 1944 was seriously bogged down. It was feared that the German forces in Normandy might be able to flee over the River Seine and head eastwards towards Germany. A magnificent stand by the Polish 1st Armoured Division during August prevented this happening. After the war, Maczek was stripped of his Polish citizenship by the Communists. This is the story of a man who changed history.

OVER THE BATTLEFIELD: OPERATION BLUECOAT

by Ian Daglish 

After weeks of bitter fighting there was a desperate need to break out of the Normandy bridgehead. In late July 1944 Lieutenant-General Sir Miles Dempsey’s Second Army moved two entire corps from the Caen sector to the countryside around Caumont. Here, British XXX Corps prepared to give battle, with VII Corps advancing in support between XXX Corps and the American first Army. While the XXX Corps attack stalled, VIII Corps surged ahead and a deep penetration was made. The author examines Monty’s refusal to seize Vire, the disputed Anglo-American border and the Operation’s impact on the German Mortain offensive.
