Peace 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, OBE, describes it as "earning its place among the
impartial narratives of the Bosnian War"
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.

The scrapping of Britain's Nimrod programme was one of the
most controversial events in the military aviation world. For most
of its operational life, from 1969, its contribution to the
defence of the UK and its role in offensive duties was often
shrouded in secrecy. It was the ‘eye in the sky’ which was
absolutely vital to a host of activities – from anti-submarine and
anti-surface warfare, to support of land battles. From the
Falklands campaign, to combating drug-running, the Nimrod’s unsung
role was paramount. And now the UK is bereft of this magnificent
multi-tasking reconnaissance aircraft. The author's conclusions
will not be welcomed by those in power.
