The challenge to British colonial rule in India in 1857 was on
an unprecedented scale. Initially a mutiny by local troops, the
conflict spread to involve local princes, rulers and
land-owners. The fighting was widespread and involved horrific
acts of brutality by both sides as well as great courage. This
book places these events into their historical, political and
economic contexts and the author's use of sources including
personal accounts brings events of a century and a half ago
vividly to life.
A concise pictorial history of the Italian Air Force,
1940-1943. Includes eight pages of colour side-views (plus rear
cover) illustrating aircraft used in the North West European,
Russian, North African and Mediterranean theatres.

GOD'S WARRIORS: CRUSADERS, SARACENS
AND THE BATTLE FOR JERUSALEM
by
Dr Helen Nicholson & Dr David Nicolle
This book tells the story of the momentous campaign that led to
the Muslim capture of Jerusalem in 1187, following the disastrous
Crusader defeat at Hattin, where Saladin’s troops destroyed the
Christian army. These events resulted in the collapse of the
kingdom of Jerusalem and sparked off the Third Crusade under
Richard I. The authors look at the two most intriguing warrior
types involved in the conflict: the Knight Templar and the Saracen
Faris, and examine their motivation, training and combat
experiences.
