Academy at Sandhurst, England, has an international reputation for
instilling the arts and disciplines of leadership in tomorrow’s

of overseas officers, who trained here. This stunningly
illustrated book explores what makes the Royal Military Academy,
Sandhurst so special and why it continues to wield an
unprecedented degree of cultural influence throughout the world.

4.SS-POLIZEI-PANZER-GRENADIER-DIVISION, VOL. 2: 1943-1945
by Friedrich Husemann
This second volume
on the 4.SS Polizei-Division takes up their history at the
beginning of 1943, and the story of 2 battalions that were sent to

defensive battles in Hungary, Poland and Germany, to the final
hopeless battles near Berlin and the bitter surrender on May 2
1945.

In AD 453 Attila, with a huge force composed of Huns, allies and
vassals drawn from his already-vast empire, was rampaging westward
across Gaul, then still nominally part of the Western Roman Empire.
Laying siege to Orleans, he was only a few days march from extending
his empire from the Eurasian steppe to the Atlantic. He was brought
to battle on the Cataluanian Plain and defeated by a coalition
hastily assembled and led by Aetius. Aetius is one of the major
figures in the history of the Late Roman Empire and his actions
helped maintain the integrity of the West in the declining years of
the Empire.
