Both authors have seen extensive military service in much the same areas as feature in the biblical accounts. The Bible's military accounts, told in vivid detail, cover a vast period, from the invasion of Canaan by the Israelites under Joshua's command, through the conquest of the kingdom by David and Solomon and the split of the kingdom into Judah and Israel, to the Maccabees' successful rebellion against Seleucid domination. The reliability of these accounts is supported by their technical accuracy and by descriptions of topographic conditions peculiar to specific battlefields. They bear comparison with military campaigns well after the biblical era, and provide strategic and tactical lessons of value even today. They are also an essential key to understanding the events of the time, when the struggle for independence and survival overshadowed all other aspects of daily life. National identity and security remains a vital issue in the region today, and many of the places that figure in the biblical accounts still retain their military importance. Battles of the Bible is a fascinating and valuable work, not only for its exacting scrutiny of the biblical accounts, but also for its insight into their wider and continuing relevance. This new, thoroughly revised and re~illustrated edition of a highly regarded book takes into account current historical and archaeological research, as well as modern trends in biblical scholarship.

This single volume is a valuable source book presenting a remarkable range of data, from the organisation of the Luftwaffe High Command to details of unit identification markings on aircraft. The strengths, serviceability states and equipment of front~line units are given at seven key dates between September 1939 and April 1945. This allows the reader to observe the changing strengths and compositions in each major theatre of operations at the decisive moments of the war. Based on the Luftwaffe Handbook 1939~1945 (long out of print), it has been fully revised and extended to almost double the original length by aviation historian Alfred Price. Amongst the many valuable items it includes are details of the Luftwaffe's structure, biographies of senior commanders and the operational tactics of the different units and arms of the service. It also describes the Flak units, which have previously received little coverage, deals with the V.1 flying bomb and the ground organisation that supported it and analyses the aces' victory scores. A full critical bibliography is given, making this book the key to further study and understanding of the Luftwaffe.

His extraordinary wartime career was one of high risk and adventure and here he tells the full story. Skorzeny quickly proved his worth in Yugoslavia and then Russia. In 1942 he was awarded the Iron Cross, and in April 1943 he was promoted to captain and named 'Chief of Germany's Special Troops, Existing or to be Created in the Future'. When Mussolini was imprisoned in Italy in 1943, it was Skorzeny who successfully led the daring glider rescue, winning the Knight's Cross and promotion as a result. Skorzeny's talents were brought into play again when he was sent to Budapest to stop the Hungarian regent Admiral Horthy from signing a peace with Stalin in 1944. Now ."
