have produced a book which will be invaluable for
enthusiasts and researchers of Great War units and vehicles.

1914−1918" contains in excess of 1,300 identified Unit signs
(in full colour) with more than 120 supporting period images
and coloured drawings, most of which are previously
unpublished. This limited edition book records what is
believed to be the most comprehensive available in the
public domain.

ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and the Alt-Right.
An expert on terrorism and an expert on counterterrorism
answer the two questions everyone is asking about the rise
of terrorism today: why is this happening, and when will it
end? Since the death of bin Laden in 2011, ISIS has risen,
al-Qaeda has expanded it’s reach, and right-wing
extremists have surged in the United States for the same
simple reason: terrorism works. It is not caused by psychosis or
irrationality, as the media often suggests. Instead, it’s
terrifyingly logical. Violent acts produce political
results. The authors explore the history, rationales and
precepts of terrorism, from the assassination of Tsar
Alexander II, through the terror campaigns by Irish and
Indian nationalists, and to the Nazis and Italian Fascists.
They show how the American invasion of Iraq created the
conditions for the emergence of al-Qaeda in Iraq, part of
which metastasized into ISIS, while Russia’s increasing
intervention in Syria allowed both of these organizations to
evolve.
This new third edition of
TANKART 1 on modelling German Armor has been expanded to
include two additional models. The original five models
(Befehls Panther G, Tiger I Initial, Sd.Kfz 251/22 Pakwagen,
Hetzer, and Panzer IV DAK) are presented in a refined
graphic layout. Guest author, Lester Plaskitt's, world class
Sd.Kfz 251/21 is expanded to match the style of the other
chapters, including detailed captions explaining his
impressive painting and modelling skills. Newly added are
two exciting models. The first is a winterized 10.5cm
Sturmhaubitze 42, and the second is the famous Panzer IV
with 88mm Flak Gun. This model was built after photos
surfaced of this unique field-modified vehicle. The chapters
on modelling techniques have been edited and updated
including the Hair Spray Technique, Oil Paint Rendering and
other Techniques.

Although the Anson was a
front-line aircraft early in the war, flying coastal
reconaissence, anti-submarine operations, and support over
Dunkirk, it was soon obsolescent. Slow, short-legged, and
woefully underarmed, it was soon replaced by the Lockheed
Hudson and other aircraft. However, the performance and
configuration of the aircraft made it ideal for flight,
navigation, gunnery, and wireless training, communications,
air-sea rescue, and utility roles. The Anson went through
many marks, with over 10,000 aircraft produced in a
production span of 18 years and service life of over 32
years.
