A visual record of the American-led operation which resulted in
the dramatic overthrow of dictator Saddam Hussein. In a striking
sequence of photographs Anthony Tucker-Jones shows how this was
achieved by the American and British armed forces in a lightning
campaign of just two weeks. But the photographs also show the
disastrous aftermath when the swift victory was undermined by
the outbreak of the Iraqi insurgency - in the Shia south, in
Baghdad and the Sunni Triangle, and in Fallujah where two
ferocious battles were fought.
Originally

Warfare in Renaissance Italy. Michael Mallett's classic study is
as relevant today as it was when it was first published a
generation ago. His lucid account of the age of the condottieri
- the mercenary captains of fortune - and of the soldiers who
fought under them is set in the wider context of the Italian
society of the time and of the warring city-states. The book
concentrates on the fifteenth century, but it also looks back to
the fourteenth century, and forward to the Italian wars of the
sixteenth century when foreign armies disputed the balance of
power on Italian soil.
