FORGOTTEN ARCHIVES 1: THE LOST SIGNAL CORPS PHOTOS

by Darren Neely 


 

The US Army Signal Corps photographs were the official standard for photo documentation of the army during World War II. These photos were captured by trained cameramen and in most cases were taken under enemy fire, in a ditch with a riflemen or as enemy shells landed nearby. The photos in this book have not previously been published or have only appeared in hard to find unit histories. They cover events in the ETO, from the Normandy breakout until the end of the war. Beautifully illustrated with 266 rare large format photos, Forgotten Archives 1 is must for the armour enthusiast.

THE BATTLE OF BORODINO: NAPOLEON AGAINST KUTUZOV

by Alexander Mikaberidze

On 7th September, 1812 at Borodino, 75 miles west of Moscow, the armies of the Russian and French empires clashed in one of the climactic battles of the Napoleonic Wars. The survival of the Russian army after Borodino was a key factor in Napoleon's eventual defeat and the utter destruction of the French army of 1812. This new study retells the terrible story of Borodino seen from the Russian point of view, providing a fresh perspective on the battle and a broader understanding of the reasons for the eventual Russian triumph.

BATTLE OF CRETE

by Albert Palazzo 

Between 20th May and 1st June 1941 World War Two came to the Greek island of Crete. Commonwealth defenders consisted of Australian, New Zealand and British refugees from the doomed Greek Campaign who had not recovered from defeat. Matched against them were crack German paratroopers and mountain soldiers who had only tasted victory. Over eleven days the two sides fought a desperate action that generated tales of stubborn determination and reckless bravery on both sides. This is the revised and expanded second edition.

The codename for the operation was Serrate and this is the most detailed account of it.
