keeping in Bosnia's Civil War, 1992-1993. A young cavalry
lieutenant's moving and shocking account of front line
service in the cauldron of war. Fresh from Germany he and
his men found themselves in a highly political and lethally
dangerous civil war. They witnessed appalling atrocities and
human tragedy on a giant scale. The foreword by Martin Bell,

narratives of the Bosnian War"
Air Chief
Marshal Philip Bennet Joubert de la Ferte, the
Commander-in-Chief of Coastal Command in the early war
years, knew that technical advance was the only way to
contain the U-Boat menace. The author describes the role
played by Bletchley Park in de-crypting German codes and
U-Boat operational instructions. He details the development
of ASV and the Leigh Light for night operations and
documents the deployment of new heavy calibre weapons and
depth-charges plus the American Mk 24 Acoustic Homing
Torpedo.

BURMA '44: THE BATTLE THAT TURNED BRITAIN'S
WAR IN THE EAST
by James Holland
In February 1944, a rag-tag collection of clerks,
drivers, doctors, muleteers, and other base troops,
stiffened by a few dogged Yorkshiremen and a handful of tank
crews managed to hold out against some of the finest
infantry in the Japanese Army, and then defeat them in what
was one of the most astonishing battles of the Second World
War. What became known as The Defence of the Admin Box,
fought amongst the paddy fields and jungle of Northern
Arakan over a fifteen-day period, turned the battle for
Burma.
The
story of Bomber Command's elite squadrons. Twenty five
minutes was what it took to run the gauntlet of the Berlin
air defences from end to end at full stretch. The flak
barrage put up from the ground was merciless and, if your
plane was caught in the searchlights, you had little chance
of survival. The Luftwaffe night fighters were waiting for
you on the way home as well. This new history of the RAF
Pathfinder Squadrons outlines the increasingly successful
role they played in bringing accuracy and effectiveness into
the air war waged by Bomber Command against the Third Reich
during 1942-1945.
