Battles of World War II ? 'a landmark book collection chronicles the global conflict from 1939?45, battle by battle': the illustrated launch brochure for the Osprey Publishing book collection issued with RBA, published for the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War. The cover montage shows wartime leaders and soldiers beneath a Soviet flag, above a burning battlefield, a Sherman tank, a diving fighter aircraft and a war cemetery. Inside, 'The story of World War II told through its greatest battles' introduces the series: from the German invasion that swept through Poland in September 1939, through the war in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Pacific, to the dawn of the nuclear age, Osprey's world-renowned military history titles retell the war's decisive battles. Sample covers show the volumes on Poland 1939, France 1940 ? Blitzkrieg in the West ? and Pearl Harbor 1941. Each book, the brochure explains, covers the conflict from both sides and shows how the battle fitted into the wider context of the war, through regular sections: Origins of the Battle, Chronology, Commanders, Opposing Forces, The Battle in Depth and Aftermath ? illustrated with sample spreads including Operation Bagration, when the Wehrmacht was routed (22 June 1944), the 4th Marine Division's assault on Roi-Namur in the Marshall Islands (1944), Operation Jubilee, the controversial assault on the fortified French port of Dieppe (August 1942), and Soviet soldiers celebrating victory in Berlin (May 1945). About 12 pages, 21 x 28 cm, full colour. A piece of publishing ephemera for collectors of Osprey military history books and Second World War partworks, and for anyone completing the Battles of World War II series.

Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin

Irlanda

Pigeonhouse Books is a private Dublin archive of the unusual and the hard to find. We have served readers, researchers and people curious about our world since 2016.

Founded by an experienced editor and history graduate, our small family-run operation is like having the keys to the research library or the enthusiast's den. We specialise in finding and making available specialist items essential to the researcher, scientist, academic, collector, student, hobbyist, layperson and – most importantly – the reader, whatever their interests and wherever they may be in the world.

Pigeonhouse is a colloquial name pointing to the red and white towers of the former Poolbeg Generating Station at the estuary of the River Liffey - an icon of Dublin for those who arrive or leave, and a newfound symbol of arty modernism in Ireland.

The private Pigeonhouse warehouse is located nearby and is home to nearly 25,000 books and moving-image, audio and material-culture resources. Lost media – VHS, magazines, ephemera and never-digitised material – is a personal quest.

All of these can be dispatched worldwide here on this site via PigeonhouseBooks.com, and via your local Amazon/AbeBooks/Biblio outlet.

Visitors are always welcome by appointment at Parliament Street in Dublin 2, the city of Joyce and a UNESCO City of Literature. Please drop us a line in advance: all are very welcome to inspect and collect any item in our catalogue in person.
