Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Unnamed Graves, a Secret Cemetery, Files Closed to the Public and Stored in "The Vault." During World War II, in the North African/Mediterranean and European Theaters of Operation, 96 American soldiers were convicted by Army General Courts-Martial and executed for desertion, murder and rape. Their victims were 26 fellow American soldiers and 71 British, French, Italian, Polish and Algerian civilians. The executions were not ad hoc killings. General Eisenhower, or another theater commander, approved every proceeding, but the Army did not trumpet the crimes. After the war, the Army searched for a suitable site to inter the remains of all 96 men. It chose a plot of land adjacent to - but technically outside of - the World War I American cemetery of Oise-Aisne. The area is separated from the main cemetery by a high stone wall, concealed from view, and is closed to casual visitors. Called "Plot E" by the staff, others refer to it as "The Fifth Field." The judicial files on the 96 were even harder to find - until now.…

Translated at Harvard from the French. Spine titles a bit faded; former owner name on front paste-down endpaper. No dust jacket. "The curve of tactics is ever varying, yet always continuous. Among those forces whose resultant determines its direction, two in particular have greatly increased in recent years, the destructive power of cannon, the resisting capacity of field works. A careful evalution of the importance of these forces in the recent wars in the Transvaal, of Manchuria, and of the Balkans has made it possible to sketch the curve day by day, to note its sinuousities, and to follow its development in a new direction." --from the Introduction by the author.

Hardback. Condición: New. This is the story of 150 of the most adventurous scouts, gold prospectors, gunslingers, buffalo hunters, and Civil War veterans of both sides-they may have been the deadliest collection of shooters to ever hit the trail. This is the most detailed work ever produced on the obscure legend of the 1874 Yellowstone Wagon Road Prospecting Expedition in the Montana Territory-the product of multi-year research across the country, and visits to the three battlefields and expedition route of over 500 miles-an event that impacted the Little Bighorn in 1876. Numerous legends of the West rode on the expedition, later playing roles in the Great Sioux War of 1876. Their adversaries now were the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne-some of the greatest light cavalry to ever gallop over the North American continent. And watching their every move were Sitting Bull, Gall, Hump, Crazy Horse, and a renegade chief named Inkpaduta, ready to strike.…

(Subject: World War II - Eastern Front) An account of the men of SS Panzer Regiments 1, 2, and 3 in Operation Citadel, July 515, 1943. Kursk is often labeled the "Greatest Tank Battle in History". The Wehrmacht fielded a total of 120 Tiger tanks during the engagement, including 35 from the 2nd SS Panzer Corps. This corps comprised of the three most controversial divisions of the Second World War: Leibstandarte, Das Reich, and Totenkopf. By examining a focused group of men in great detail, specifically the 226 Tiger crewmen at Kursk, the author provides an insight into the sprawling and enigmatic organization that was the Waffen-SS. He scrapes away the mythology surrounding these most feared soldiers, who crewed the most iconic tank of the Second World War.

1st Edition. Hb in Dw , 8vo, 77pp & 8 illustration plates A Vg/Vg copy indeed.

Hardback. Condición: New. This is the story of George Custer's best cavalry company at the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn-Company M. With a tragically-flawed, but extremely brave Company Commander and a no-nonsense First Sergeant, Company M maintained a disciplined withdrawal from the skirmish line fighting, saving Major Marcus Reno's entire detachment and possibly the rest of the regiment from annihilation. Presented here is the most-detailed work on a single company at the Little Bighorn ever written-the product of multi-year research at archives across the country and detailed visits to the battlefield by a combat veteran who understands fields of fire, weapons' effects, training, morale, decision-making, unit cohesion and the value of outstanding non-commissioned officers.…

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Edition. A 1st edition hardcover bound in deep red cloth with sharp pointy tips. The spine ends are bumped, and there is some foxing along the page block. The 283 pages have some tanning; however, there are no markings or soil marks. The frontispiece features a color painting of the Earl of Ypres, who is the illustrator of the other B/W drawings and illustrations throughout the book. The book is in an unclipped original dust jacket with repairs. The repairs have been made to the spine ends and the flap folds. The spine folds also have some flaking. The title and publisher are both fully visible, while the author is missing a small portion at the top of the spine. Krinkle marks on the front cover have been smoothed out, making the title fully visible. Jacket now protected in new mylar. This book contains a great deal of the history of regiments, and of individuals, which is not usually available to the ordinary reader. Our thanks are due to Colonel French for having spent so much time and study in collecting so many interesting facts and details, which make his book considerably more interesting for its personal touch than would be the case in mere history.…
