The bombing of Guernica in the Spanish Civil War was the
first mass air attack on a densly populated town. It was
carried out at the behest of the Spanish Nationalist
Government by its allies, the Nazi German Luftwaffe's Condor
Legion and the Fascist Italian Aviazione Legionaria. It was
a war crime by definition, even before the work of Pablo
Picasso brought its full horror to the world's attention. A
huge international outcry resulted whose echo continues to
shake our consciences. The book includes a Spanish language
DVD which tells the story through the eyes of those who were
there and well known military historians.

The epic British stand on the Imjin River, Korea 1951.
Dramatic, traumatic, moving and inspirational, this is the
true story of a band of men who remained at their posts,
held an army and astonished the world. This is the story of
the battle fought on the Imjin River in the last week of
April 1951, where a stubborn defence by the British 29th
Brigade caught the public’s imagination – the magnificent
last stand by the ‘Glorious Glosters’ becoming the stuff of
legend.
The unspeakable
horror of the
five-month siege of
Stalingrad where 20
German Divisions under
Paulus accounted for
half a million Russian
dead. The author
demonstrates that,
outstanding as some
Soviet commanders
were, they prevailed
only because of the
ruthless expenditure
of Russian lives and
the vast production of
war materials.
