Esdaile $39.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4278-4 · 512 Pages Napoleon’s forces invaded Spain in 1808, but two years went by before they overran the southern region of Andalucía.

In this groundbreaking examination of the Peninsular War, Charles J. Esdaile moves beyond traditional military history

to examine the French occupation of Andalucía and the origins and results of the region’s complex and chaotic response. ➢ CAMPAIGNS AND COMMANDERS On Wellington A Critique of Waterloo Translated, edited, and annotated by Peter Hofschröer $32.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4108-4 · 272 Pages Carl von Clausewitz, the Western world’s most renowned military theorist, participated in the Waterloo campaign as a senior staff officer in the Prussian army.

Gallaher $34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3875-6 · 384 Pages A dedicated career soldier and excellent division and corps commander, Dominique Vandamme was a thorn in the side of practically every officer he served. Outspoken to a fault, he even criticized Napoleon, whom he never forgave for not appointing him marshal. His military prowess so impressed the emperor, however, that he returned Vandamme to command time and again. In this first book-length study of Vandamme in English, John G.

Standing in Their Own Light restores these African American patriots to their rightful place in the historical struggle for independence and the end of racial oppression. “Hang Them All” George Wright and the Plateau Indian War, 1858 By Donald L. Cutler $29.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-5337-7 · 392 Pages Col.

The peoples of Eastern Europe were, he said, his “redskins,” and for his colonial fantasy of a “German East” he claimed a historical precedent in the United States’s displacement and killing of the native population. Edward B Westermann examines the validity, and value, of this claim in Hitler’s Ostkrieg and the Indian Wars. Powder

In fact, capturing this small coral island in the Palaus with its strategic airstrip took two months and involved some of the bloodiest fighting of the Second World War in the Pacific. Now Bobby C Blair and John Peter DeCioccio tell the story of this campaign through the eyes of the 81st

Infantry to offer a revised assessment. ➢ CAMPAIGNS AND COMMANDERS The War of 1812 in the Age of Napoleon By Jeremy Black $19.95s Paper · 978-0-8061-4458-0 · 304 Pages The War of 1812 is etched into American memory with the burning of the Capitol and the White House by British forces and the decisive naval battle of New Orleans. Now a respected British military historian offers an international perspective on the conflict to better gauge its significance. In The War of 1812 in the Age of Napoleon, Jeremy Black provides a dramatic account of the war framed within a wider political and economic context than most American historians have previously considered. Hancock’s War Conflict on the Southern Plains By William Y. Chalfant $26.95s Paper · 978-0-8061-4459-7 · 296 Pages This first thorough scholarly history of the ill-conceived expedition offers an unequivocal evaluation of military strategies and a culturally sensitive interpretation of Indian motivations and reactions.

Chalfant explores the vastly different ways of life that separated the Cheyennes and U.S policymakers, and argues that neither side was willing or able to understand the needs of the other. He shows how Hancock’s efforts were counterproductive, brought untold misery to Indians and whites alike, and led to the wars of 1868. ➢ CAMPAIGNS AND COMMANDERS Never Come to Peace Again Pontiac’s Uprising and the Fate of the British Empire in North America By David Dixon $19.95s Paper · 978-0-8061-4462-7 · 376 Pages Prior to the American Revolution, the Ohio River Valley was a cauldron of competing interests: Indian, colonial, and imperial.

Christ $19.95 Paper · 978-0-8061-4433-7 · 336 Pages The Arkansas River Valley is one of the most fertile regions in the South. During the Civil War, the river also served as a vital artery for moving troops and supplies. In 1863 the battle to wrest control of the valley was, in effect, a battle for the state itself. In spite of its importance, however, this campaign is often overshadowed by the siege of Vicksburg. Now Mark K Christ offers the first detailed military assessment of parallel events in Arkansas, describing their consequences for both Union and Confederate powers. ➢ CAMPAIGNS AND COMMANDERS Once Upon a Time in War The 99th Division in World War II By Robert E. Humphrey $19.95 Paper · 978-0-8061-4454-2 · 376 Pages For the soldier on the front lines of World War II, a lifetime of terror and suffering could be crammed into a few

horrific hours of combat. This was especially true for members of the 99th Infantry Division who repelled the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge and engaged in some of the most dramatic, hard-fought actions of the war. Once Upon a Time in War presents a stirring view of combat from the perspective of the common soldier. George Crook From the Redwoods to Appomattox By Paul Magid $24.95s Paper · 978-0-8061-4441-4 · 416 Pages Renowned for his prominent role in the Apache and Sioux wars, General George Crook (1828–90) was considered by William Tecumseh Sherman to be his greatest Indian-fighting general. Although Crook was feared by Indian opponents on the battlefield, in defeat the tribes found him a true friend and advocate who earned their trust and friendship when he spoke out in their defense against political corruption and greed. George Crook offers insight into the influences that later would make this general both a nemesis of the Indian tribes and their ardent advocate.
