Description:
United Kingdom: Greenhill Books/Lionel Leventhal, 2006. New book, 256 pages. The Art of Renaissance Warfare tells the story of the knight from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries - from the great victories of Edward III and the Black Prince to the fall of Richard III on Bosworth Field. During this period, new technology on the battlefield posed deadly challenges for the mounted warrior; but they also stimulated change, and the knight moved with the times. Having survived the longbow devastation at Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt, he emerged triumphant, his armor lighter and more effective, and his military skills indispensable. This was the great age of the orders of chivalry and the freemasonry of arms that bound together comrades and adversaries in a tight international military caste. Such men as Bertrand du Guesclin and Sir John Chandos loom large in the pages of this book - bold leaders and brave warriors, imbued with these traditions of chivalry and knighthood. How their heroic endeavors… Read More

London, United Kingdom: Jonathan Cape Ltd, 2003. New book, 454 pages. On September 15, 1776, the British Army under General William Howe invaded Manhattan Island with the largest expeditionary force in its history. George Washington's Continental Army, still in disarray after the disastrous Battle of Brooklyn some two weeks earlier, retreated north to Harlem Heights, leaving New York in British hands. Contol of the city was Howe's primary objective. Located at the mouth of the strategically vital Hudson river, it had become the centerpiece of England's strategy for putting down the American rebellion. However as this book reveals, far from furnishing the key to the colonies, New York proved to be the fatal chalice that poisoned the British war effort.. Hard Cover.

But before the fireworks could be lit came unbelievable news: the French and their allies had not only been defeated, but utterly overthrown. A whole army had vanished and its commander found himself a prisoner - of the English.The Battle of Blenheim changed the course of history.

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Bantam Books, 2004. New book, 668 pages. It is the summer of 1588, and the fate and future of England hangs in the balance. Obsessed by the dream of reclaiming England for the Catholic Church, Philip II of Spain has assembled a huge fleet of galleons. Lying in wait in the Netherlands lies a battle-hardened Spanish army, across the Channel the English are scraping together bands of barely trained men, many armed only with scythes, stakes or longbows. Their only hope lies with the English Navy. But Philip's Armada is doomed before it even leaves port. As soon as it engages with the English fleet, its shortcomings are clear in the face of superior tactics and firepower. Within hours, the mightiest fleet ever assembled is miercilessly harried into fleeing north, at the mercy of the elements and the dream of subduing the Protestant English lies in tatters..

The final demise of Jacobitism amid the slaughter of the Highland clans on a cold and damp Culloden Moor in April 1746 is undoubtedly one of the most famous battles in British military history.

Osprey Pub Co, 2013. New book, 80 pages, CAM256. Following the defeat at Wabash, in 1792 the Washington administration created a new US Army to replace the one that had been destroyed. The man chosen to lead it was the famous Major-General Mad Anthony Wayne. Having trained his new force, Wayne set out in 1793 to subdue the Ohio Indians. Wayne faced many of the same problems as St Clair including the logistical and intelligence problems of campaigning in the wilderness, not to mention the formidable Ohio Indians. Wayne faced additional problems including the likelihood that he would have to fight both British and Spanish forces, not to mention an American army led by the celebrated commander George Roger Clark. He also faced an insurrection in western Pennsylvania, Whiskey Rebellion, and a conspiracy led by many of his officers and contractors. Despite all these difficulties, Wayne managed to defeat the Ohio Indians at the battle of "Fallen Timbers". This was a decisive defeat that led… Read More

Osprey Pub Co, 2010. New book, 64 pages, RAID15. At the height of the Seven Years' War, Great Britain made an audacious strike at the heart of Spanish colonial power in the Caribbean. Gathering troops from bases in Britain and Canada and sailing across the Atlantic in secrecy was an incredible feat. The raid on Havana took Spanish colonial forces completely by surprise and following vicious fighting, the city defences at El Moro collapsed. Havana, the jewel in the Spanish colonial crown, now belonged to Britain. The success of the raid influenced British military policy for centuries as the true potential of amphibious warfare was realized. Author David Greentree tracks every aspect of the raid from its origins to the seige and assault of El Morro. Each section is accompanied by full color illustrations from Donato Spedaliere and Giuseppe Rava along with maps, photographs, and period artwork.. Soft Cover. As New.

Osprey Pub Co, 2011. New book, 64 pages, CMD21. George Washington may be one of history's most underrated commanders. Overlooked in favour of his contemporaries such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Frederick the Great, Washington's achievements are arguably more impressive. Frederick and Napoleon inherited formidable militaries, and both had extensive military training and experience prior to assuming command of armies. Washington built his army from scratch, was self-taught, and had never commanded anything larger than a regiment before assuming command of the Continental Army in 1775. This new Command title will track the development of Washington's military career from his early missteps to his heroic efforts during the Revolutionary War that led him on the path to the presidency. .

Description:
United Kingdom: Phoenix Press, 2007. New book, 372 pages. Henry VIII's domestic life overshadows a now almost forgotten fact: that he founded what would become the Royal Navy. When Henry ascended the throne, the country's fleet consisted of just five ships. At his death he handed down to his son, Edward VI, a navy of more than fifty vessels. Without Henry's interest, would Elizabeth I have had the sea power to beat off the Spanish Armada? Would Drake, Hawkins and Frobisher have been in a position to so profitably raid the Spanish Main? But this book is far more than a history of naval warfare. Geoffry Moorhouse tells us what it must have been like to live on a Tudor warship, how the felling of oak forrests led to the first Act of Parliament concerned with the destruction of the environment and why sailcloth, more often than not, came from Brittany..

London, United Kingdom: Simon & Schuster Ltd, 2005. New book, 375 pages. The American War of Independence ignoted furious battle as far away as Britain's corridors of power. This is the first account of the war to examine the conflict not just from the the vantage point of the vantage point of the battlefield, or George Washington's leadership of the revolution, but from that of England, deeply embroiled in controversy over the war across the Atlantic. The author takes an unprecedented approach to the fight for American independence, while dramatically narrating the battles that were raging across the Atlantic. As General Washington rallied to keep his ragged and overmatched Continental army together and create a nation, 'iron tears' fell from redcoat muskets and cannons, as well as from the demoralized eyes of the British..

Description:
Osprey Pub Co, 2011. New book, 96 pages, ESS72. The Jacobite Rebellion was the final attempt of the House of Stuart to re-establish itself on the British throne and it saw the death throes of the independent martial prowess of the Highland clans. No event in British history has been more heavily romanticized, but Gregory Fremont-Barnes succeeds in stripping away the myths to reveal the key events of this crucial period. From questions of dynastic succession to religious dominance, the events leading to the Rebellion are carefully explained and analyzed, drawing upon a host of primary research. From the landing of Bonnie Prince Charlie to the battle of Culloden, this book offers a complete overview of the Rebellion, complete with detailed maps and beautiful period illustrations.. Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
