Red Army Sniper, a Memoir of the Eastern Front in World War II
The publisher has already released a number of excellent books about snipers and their craft. This is a worthy addition to their list but it should be treated with some circumspection because the biography was originally released during the Soviet Era and includes some manipulation which this English translation does not attempt to challenge in the interests of making this a faithful edition to the Russian language original – Most Highly Recommended.
Double Agent Celery, MI5’s Crooked Hero
Spy stories, fiction and non-fiction, are enduringly popular. This story of a British agent during WWII will be no exception, with all the elements to keep the reader turning pages to the end – Highly Recommended.
In Action With Destroyers, 1939-1945, The Wartime Memoirs of Commander J A J Dennis DSC RN
A unique story that has been brought to a wider readership by the efforts of its editor. The destroyer was the backbone of naval operations in the role taken by the frigate in Nelson’s time. A fast paced story that grips the reader – Highly Recommended.
Teddy Suhren Ace of Aces, Memoirs of a U-Boat Rebel
A translation into English of a biography originally published in German in 1983. Teddy Suhren was something of a rebel and got away with it because he was a very effective U-Boat skipper – Much Recommended.
Bomb Disposal in World War Two
The publisher has established a reputation for correcting the neglect of important military history and this book is another fine example. The unsung story of WWII was the battle between bomb disposal units and German armourers. It required a special type of courage and a special type of man – Much Recommended.

U-boat Assault On America, Why The US Was Unprepared For War In The Atlantic
1942 the Germans thought it was ‘happy hour’ as the US newly entered into WWII seemed powerless to protect its merchant shipping from German submarines. This new book looks at the US failure to protect its merchant ships during the first months after joining Britain in the war against the Nazi – Very Highly Recommended.
Heinrich Himmler, The Sinister Life of the Head of the SS and GESTAPO
A detailed review of the life of Heinrich Himmler and an analysis of the horrors he encouraged and oversaw. This new book looks closely at one of the most notorious individuals of recent history – Very Highly Recommended.
