Description:
William Heinemann, 2011. New book, 506 pages. ANZAC Fury" commemorates the 65th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe when 8900 Anzac prisoners of war captured in Greece and Crete were released from captivity. In 2010, it will be exactly 70 years since the 2nd AIF arrived in the Middle East to begin their extraordinary adventures in battles against the German and Italian armies in North Africa, mainland Greece and Crete prior to the outbreak of the Pacific War. Written by a brilliant storyteller, "ANZAC Fury" tells the riveting story of how the legendary Anzac Corps was reformed in the heat of battle during World War II to fight a powerful and merciless foe. Dramatically combining personal memories with combat action, "ANZAC Fury" gives voice to the experiences of young Australians and New Zealanders who were sent on Churchill's orders from the victorious battlefields of Libya on a disastrous mission to Greece and Crete..

Description:
Osprey Pub Co, 2012. New book, 64 pages, CMD28. Archibald Wavell remains one of the great Allied commanders of the early phases of World War II. In fact, between June 1940 and June 1941, he was the only British theatre commander actively engaging Axis forces. At a time when the British Expeditionary Force had been expelled from the European continent, Wavell was conducting campaigns across nine countries and parts of two continents. In those 12 months, Wavell planned and directly oversaw a multitude of campaigns, from the hugely successful winter campaigns against the Italians in the Western Desert and the conquest of Italian East Africa, through the Iraqi revolt, the invasion of Vichy Syria and Lebanon and the ill-fated British involvement in Greece to the unsuccessful attempts to break the siege of Tobruk that led to his replacement in June 1941. While Wavell's great victories are often overshadowed by those of other commanders later in the war, this should not detract from his proven abilities… Read More

Description:
Osprey Pub Co, 2010. New book, 64 pages, CMD09. This Osprey Command title looks closely at the early life, military experiences and key battlefield exploits of Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, first Viscount Montgomery of Alamein (1887-1976), perhaps the best-known, most highly respected and most controversial British general of World War II. "Monty's" reputation was made while in command in North Africa, in the Mediterranean and then North-West Europe. Arguably his best-known achievement was rebuilding a dispirited and defeated eighth army and inflicting a decisive defeat on Rommel at El Alamein. Montgomery's style and exercise of command and his personal reputation were largely shaped by his highly driven, but often difficult and enigmatic personality. He made an incalculable contribution to the Allied victory in Europe, and his leadership had played a crucial role in transforming the British Army into a war-winning weapon. . Soft Cover. As New.

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Ibooks, 2006. New book, 168 pages. The struggle for the North African coast of the Mediterranean was unlike any other campaign of World War II. Because it was fought like a tournament in an empty arena, with no one but the contestants getting hurt and with few of the distractions of politics or large civilian populations, the desert war was a pure test of generalship. Men including Germany's General Rommel and Britain's General Montgomery dominated the battle with a brilliance that established their reputations on the world stage. Sears' thrilling narrative makes the three-year-long seesaw struggle come alive as if it were being conducted today.. Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description:
Oxford, United Kingdom: Osprey Pub Co, 2005. New book, 96 pages, CAM158. The battle of El Alamein marked the turning point in Britain's fortunes in the Second World War. There were three separate battles between July and November 1942, all of which were fought to halt the advance of Rommel's army towards the Suez Canal. This final battle at El Alamein, fought in October and November, saw the continuous bombardment of the German line that Rommel was instructed to hold at all costs by Hitler himself. The Allies shattered the German defences, and Rommel led a westward retreat in order to salvage what was left of the Afrika Korps. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the battle that turned the tide in favour of the Allies in Africa. Contents: Origins of the campaign; Chronology; Opposing Commanders; Opposing Armies; Orders of Battle; Opposing Plans; First Alamein; Battle of Alam Halfa; El Alamein: The First Phase; El Alamein: The Breakout; The Pursuit; The Battlefield Today..

Description:
Conway Maritime Press, 2008. New book, 352 pages. More than a chronological account of the Italian Campaign of World War II, this book is a unique discussion of decision-making and planning, as the Allied armies, assisted by their air forces and naval units, learned to work together to force their way up the length of the country, frustrated by obstinate German resistance, the mountainous terrain and extremes of the Italian climate. The tactical innovations and flaws of the desperate struggle to hold the beachhead at Salerno, the dogged assaults on the mountain fortress of Monte Cassino and the insufficiently strong landings at Anzio are all assessed in fascinating detail. Moreover, the book examines the role of the Sicily and Italian Campaign within the overall war strategy of both sides, the consequences of which remain controversial to this day. . Hard Cover. As New/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description:
Osprey Pub Co, 2012. New book, 96 pages, CAM250. The battle of El Alamein saw the shattering of Germany’s hopes for victory in North Africa and from this point on the end was inevitable. In the six months that passed before the final surrender there was much hard fighting, as the defeated German and Italian armies sought to hold off the encroaching Eighth Army. Rommel, his health suffering, fought a number of major actions during this campaign before his forces settled into the pre-war French defensive position the Mareth Line. All the way he was pursued by an increasingly confident Eighth Army under the command of General Montgomery, although he was unable to outflank the retreating German and Italian forces decisively, and Rommel was even able to divert forces to inflict a sharp defeat on the newly arrived US forces at Kasserine Pass in February 1943. This was one of Rommel’s last acts in the Desert War as his health problems forced his return to Germany shortly afterwards. The stage was… Read More

Caxton Editions, 2001. New book, 184 pages, 45 photos, 8 maps, slight rubbing wear to cover. Field Marshal the Viscount Montgomery of Alemein was undoubtedly the most famous military figure since the Duke of Wellington. He masterminded the first victory over the German Army at El Alamein and went on to play a key role in the campaigns that ended Hitler's domination over Western Europe. He was very much a 'soldier's general', with the ability to consistently inspire the men under his command. However, his vain self-confidence, that often bordered on arrogance, led Montgomery to treat many of his colleagues and superiors, particularly his American counterparts, with barely concealed contempt. The shortcomings of Montgomery's personalitiy have done much to tarnish his reputation during the Second World War, and since then historical opinion has been divided on just how good a military commander he actually was.

Description:
MacMillan, 2011. New book, 523 pages. Australians from every field of conflict in WW2 found themselves as prisoners in Hitler's notorious Stalags, or prisoner of war camps. Whether captured merchant seamen, bomber crews or soldiers taken in North Africa or the disastrous Greek and Cretan campaigns, they were to see out the war in the heart of Hitler's Europe, their fortunes intimately connected to the fortunes of the Reich. Most were forced to labour in factories, down mines or on the land - often in conditions of enormous privation and hardship. All suffered from shortages, overcrowding and the mental strain of imprisonment. Some tried to escape, a few successfully, a few paying with their lives. The experiences of Australian POWs in Germany has long been overshadowed by the horrors of Japanese imprisonment, yet their stories of courage, stoicism, suffering and endurance deserve to be told. Peter Monteath's fascinating narrative history is exhaustively researched, and compelling in its… Read More

Description:
Osprey Pub Co, 2013. New book, 96 pages, CAM257. In mid-September 1943, as the opening move of the Allied campaign to liberate the mainland of Italy, an Anglo-American invasion force landed on the beaches of the Gulf of Salerno, only a few dozen miles to the south of Naples. Italy had just surrendered, and the soldiers in the landing craft prayed that the invasion would be unopposed. It was not to be. The Germans had seized control of the Italian-built beach defences, and were ready and waiting. The ferocious ten-day battle at Salerno was eventually decided by a combination of Allied reinforcements, and secondary landings in support of the beleaguered Salerno bridgehead. Using documentary records, memoirs and eyewitness accounts from all sides, Angus Konstam recreates the battle day by day, hour by hour. His methodically researched account offers a fresh perspective on a decisive battle that has largely been neglected by British and American historians in recent years.. Soft Cover. As New.
