Wingleader, 2023. New book, 72 pages. When we first looked at the RAF Mustang for this series, we imagined one volume and asked our regular RAF expert Andrew Thomas to get started on it. Andy did a great job in condensing the RAF Mustang’s career into an 80 page operational overview but it soon became apparent to us that there was a lot more to the Mustang’s operational career than maybe we first imagined. In particular, there was a huge difference between the Allison engined version and the later Merlin engined fighters from both the technical and operational point of views. We therefore decided to start again and to split the project into two titles, one covering the Allison engined Mustangs, the other covering the Merlin powered examples. For this first book, we approached Colin Ford who is well know as an expert on all aspects of the Allison engined Mustang in RAF service. Building on Andy’s solid foundation of photo research, Colin has introduced his broad technical knowledge of… Read More

Osceola, Wisconsin, U.S.A.: Zenith Press, 2004. New book, 302 pages. In Vietnam, Forward Air Controllers (FAC's) flew low and slow, searching for signs of an illusive enemy. Often they trolled themselves out as bait for the NVA troops to try to shoot down. When a friendly unit made contact, having a FAC overhead made the ground troops day, because the FAC's controlled the bomb, rocket, and napalm laden "fast movers" - fighter jets and attack aircraft whose ordinance made the difference between life and death. In addition to the perils of enemy fire which ranged from AK-47 shots to .51 caliber michineguns and SA-7 shoulder fired missiles, they had to avoid being blown up in B-52 Arc-Light strike or friendly artilley barages. This was Mike Jacksons life for 366 days. In spring 1972 he hugged the DMZ, fighting back against the massive NVA attack that became known as the Easter Offensive. He was also part of the around the clock team of FAC's who managed the rescue of BAT-21,… Read More

London, United Kingdom: Jonathan Cape Ltd, 2006. New book, 386 pages. He took on Napoleon with a set of weapons that seemed unsuited to the task: flattery, courtesy, and an alarmingly straight face, and he won. Quite as much as the Duke of Wellington it was the club-footed genius of French diplomacy who defeated the greatest conqueror since Julius Caesar. This is the story of Prince Talleyrand, who attracted as much scorn as Napoleon wins glory. To his critics, the arch-aristocrat who delivered France and Europe from the Emperor's follies is the prince of vice - turncoat, hypocrite, liar, plotter, God-baiter and womaniser, and to make matters worse, highly successful at them all. The richly flawed and abundantly gifted character laid bare by this book is the man to whom diplomats continue to look today for the subtlest tricks of the negotiator's art. A good 150 years before the a united Europe came into being, Talleyrand's actions laid the ground for it - as they have for a permanent peace… Read More

Osprey Pub Co, 2002. New book, 64 pages, ELI083. On the Napoleonic battlefield victory or defeat could still depend on the skills, reactions and personalities of individual commanders.

This second in a pair of Elite titles describes in concise but colourful detail the careers and personalities of more than two dozen of Napoleon's leading subordinate commanders in the armies of the later Empire, from c1809 to the Hundred Days campaign of 1815.

Phoenix Press, 2003. New book, 410 pages. Although Napoleon and Wellington never met or corresponded, and fought only one battle against each other, they spoke about one another a great deal both before Waterloo and afterwards.
