work on the aircraft ever produced. Each volume contains more than
400 photographs including those showing factory and construction,
close ups of weapons and equipment, operational units as well as
numerous facsimiles of manufacturers handbook drawings. As well as
hundreds of black and white photos of Fw 190s in sevice, the book

The bloody, month-long battle for the Citadel in Hue during
1968 pitted U.S. Marines against an entrenched, numerically
superior North Vietnamese force. By official U.S. accounts it
was a victory for the Marines and the United States, but a
survivor has produced an entirely different perspective of the
battle. Veteran Nicholas Warr describes the Marines' savage
house-to-house fighting, ordered without air, naval, or
artillery support by officers with no experience in this type of
deadly combat. Despite senseless rules of engagement and
unspeakable carnage, there were unforgettable acts of courage
and self-sacrifice performed by ordinary men.

An account of a soldier's campaign from De La Plata to Waterloo,
1806-1815. This remarkable memoir was first published in Edinburgh
in 1819. One cannot improve on Sir Charles Oman’s description of
the book as "the work of a man of superior education, who wrote
from the ranks, yet was so different in education and mental
equipment from his comrades". His account covers Whitelock’s
disastrous 1806 South American adventure, the Peninsular War, the
Walcheren Expedition and the Battle of Waterloo. For the first
time, Joseph Sinclair has been unmasked as the author, thanks to
new research work by Stuart Reid.
COLLABORATION IN GREECE:
GREEK
VOLUNTEERS IN THE GERMAN ARMED
FORCES, SS AND POLICE, 1943 - 1944
by Antonio J. Munoz
The history of the various Greek collaborationist forces of
Ioannis Rallis's pro-Axis puppet government. The Germans employed
their old adage of "divide and conquer" by exploiting the rift
between Greek communists and republicans. From 1943 until 1944
some 27-30,000 pro-German Greek troops served to prop up the Nazi
occupation. This excellent reference source features extremely
rare photos and maps.

OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES 99:
ACES OF THE LEGION CONDOR
by Robert Forsyth
For Germany, the Spanish Civil War proved a perfect testing
ground for new technologies and tactics. During the war, some
19,000 German ‘volunteers’ formed an aviation group called the
Legion Condor in support of the fascists. Originally flying He
51s, they were soon upgraded to Bf 109s. These fighters proved
dominant in the Spanish skies, and many members of the legion
scored five or more kills during the fighting.
