Condizione: New. 2009 N&M Press SB. 202 pp Maps Plans and photographsPublished Price £11.50 Verdun was the pre-eminent defensive battle of the Great War - and perhaps of all time. The historic town on the River Meuse, which the French held against furious German assaults for ten bloody months in 1916 - was surrounded by two rings of interconnected forts, ranging from the enormous Fort Douaumont to tiny casemates. But during the first two years of the war, the fighting passed Verdun by, and the forts were stripped of much of their armament. As a result, when the Germans launched their devastating offensive in February 1916, the carefully constructed defences collapsed, and Douaumont and other forts fell. Neil J. Wells has written an enormously detailed and fascinating study of the integrated defences of Verdun that explains the character of the atrocious battle. He traces the planning of the town's defences in the 1870s - the decade following France's humiliating defeat in the Franco-Prussian War. He then describes the building of the Forts in the 1880s; and the modifications made in the decade leading up to the outbreak of war in 1914. Wells' book - an original publication of the Naval & Military Press - is illustrated by many black and whit photographs, and detailed diagrams of the forts and their ordnance, along with maps showing their location. It is an indispensable work for anyone interested in the Great War, and in 19th and 20th century military technology - especially the defensive mentality that continued to dominate French strategic thinking up to the Maginot Line and beyond.

Condizione: New. 2010 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1944). SB. xIII+60pp Illustrated Originally, when the British official historian Sir James Edmonds was planning the Official History series, he foresaw two volumes covering the post-war occupations of former enemy states, namely Germany and Turkey. However, due to Foreign Office objections relating to the possible unlawful actions concerning the occupations, the writing of them was put on hold. Even without the permission to publish, the research for these volumes was still conducted by Edmonds in the 1930s. Interest in the occupation of Germany was revived in 1942 at what was seen to be the turning point of the Second World War and an invasion of mainland Europe possible in the near future. Therefore, the decision was taken to write the German occupation book. Edmonds decided to write both 'occupation' volumes in 1943, even though only the German volume, which was titled 'The Occupation of the Rhineland 1918-1929', was sanctioned. This volume was published in 1944.This book, the second occupation volume, was written during the summer of 1944. On the completion of the draft manuscript, it was stored within the Public Records Office, London. The British Official History set, therefore, remained incomplete until the issue of this work in 2010. Book.…

Condizione: New. SB 2011 BWPublished Price £28 This new bibliography gives the reader much more than just a list of all the major official histories from around the world. Divided into two sections, the first section gives a bibliography of the primary official histories that cover the military, naval and aviation histories. The second section gives a chronology of events cross-referenced to the primary official histories. Finally within the appendices, the secondary official histories and diplomatic official histories are listed. In the first bibliographical section, each individual book title is given a block of information and in some cases detailed notes have been added giving background information. This data is principally for dealers and collectors, giving an idea of the structure of the volume ranging from the size and binding through to the number of pages and illustrations. The second cross referencing section is aimed at the researcher drawing together the events with the histories. This Bibliography is a must for any serious academic, collector or book dealer.
