An account of the campaign in Venezia and
the South Tyrol, and the battle of Custoza, June-July, 1866.
Austrian ruled Venice was delivered to the Kingdom of Italy
following Prussia's victory at Koniggratz. This was despite the
lacklustre performance of the Royal Italian Army, due largely to
the ineptitude of its commanders. This concise history is
extensively illustrated with contemporary engravings, maps and
diagrams. It features 16 full colour illustrations of uniforms of
the combatants, plus orders of battle, regimental distinctions and
wargaming hints.

At dawn on Friday 1 September 1939 the Germans launched their
land, sea and air assault on Poland. The World became aware of the
awesome power of Hitler's Third Reich and the limitless and
ruthless nature of his ambition. The Blitzkrieg (Lightning War)
attack took the German forces to the gates of Warsaw in a week.
The vital port of Danzig fell and the Polish Air Force,
out-numbered and out-gunned, were driven from the skies. In a
month Warsaw fell and in six weeks the Poles were defeated.
Blitzkrieg Unleashed is told in the words of those who conquered
Poland.
Reinhard ‘Teddy’ Suhren fired more successful torpedo shots than
any other man during the war. He was the U-boat service’s most
irreverent and rebellious commander and his lack of a military
bearing was a constant source of friction with higher authority.
Valued for his good humour and ability to lead, his nickname was
acquired because he marched like a teddy-bear. Despite his refusal
to conform to the rigid thought-patterns of National Socialism,
his operational successes protected him. He was one of the lucky
U-boat men who survived the war.
THE EICHMANN TRIAL DIARY: A CHRONICLE OF THE
HOLOCAUST
by Sergio Minerbi. Translated by Robert Miller
Fifty years ago, in April 1961, the trial of Adolf Eichmann
suddenly revealed to a worldwide audience in all its tragic
detail, and for most people for the first time, the shocking
reality of the horrors of the Nazi Final Solution. At the time it
was not yet known by its current name: the Holocaust or the Shoah.
Sergio Minerbi, a young Israeli of Italian origin who had
emigrated to Palestine in 1947 was commissioned to cover the trial
for Italian State Radio RAI. His work constitutes both a daily
chronicle of the court proceedings with a vivid description of the
atmosphere inside the courtroom and within the city of Jerusalem
that conveys a realistic and vivid picture of the historic
proceedings.
