The Battle of Tsushima may be forgotten now, but it had a dramatic impact at the time and set the pattern of warfare through the Twentieth Century and set the politics of the period. The Russian Navy was considered formidable and the Japanese Navy unheard of, and yet the Japanese Fleet Commander inflicted one of the most complete defeats of an enemy fleet in history. – Very Highly Recommended
This book provides a detailed view of the British County Regiment system. The authors have benefited from the Herts At War Community Project research and woven into their text the authentic voices of those who were there. – Very Highly Recommended

Stalin expected little opposition as he ordered the Red Army to invade Finland and he got a very unpleasant shock. The Winter War is little known in English-language military histories, making this excellent new book a very welcome addition. – Most Highly Recommended
