› Find signed collectible books: 'Challenge for the Pacific: The Bloody Six-Month Battle of Guadalcanal'Book summary:In August 1942, after suffering a series of humiliating defeats, inflicted by a nation not much bigger than California, the Allies seized the initiative in their first offensive of the Pacific War. Nicknamed "Operation Shoestring," this unprecedented joint-services campaign involved both ground fighting, air combat, and naval clashes, including two carrier battles. For six months Allied and Japanese forces fought night and day in a ferocious struggle for possession of a tiny ramshackle airfield in the middle of the malarial, pest-ridden jungle of a little-known island called Guadalcanal. Robert Leckie, a decorated machine-gunner and scout with the First Marine Division, fought on Guadalcanal. His own experiences as well as those of other combatantsboth Allied and Japaneseadd immeasurably to the impact of this sweeping narrative. Leckie describes how the exceptional tenacity and courage of ordinary men transformed a campaign of uncertain outcome into one of the most decisive Allied victories of the war, a military triumph that, against formidable odds, decimated Japan's navy and air force, forever shattering her grand strategy and the myth of Japanese invincibility.[via]More editions of Challenge for the Pacific: The Bloody Six-Month Battle of Guadalcanal:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Four Years With the Iron Brigade: The Civil War Journals of William R. Ray, Co. F., Seventh Wisconsin Infantry'Book summary:The recently discovered journal of William Ray of the Seventh Wisconsin is the most important primary source ever of soldier life in one of the war's most famous fighting organizations. No other collection of letters or diaries comes close to it.Two days before his regiment left Wisconsin in 1861, the twenty-three-year-old blacksmith began, as he described it, "to keep account" of his life in what became the "Iron Brigade of the West." Ray's journal encompasses all aspects of the enlisted man's life-the battles, the hardships, the comradeship. And Ray saw most of the war from the front rank. He was wounded at Second Bull Run, again at Gettysburg, and yet a third time in the hell of the Wilderness. He penned something in his journal almost every day-occasionally just a few lines, at other times thousands of words. Ray's candid assessments of officers and strategy, his vivid descriptions of marches and the fighting, and his evocative tales of foraging and daily army life fill a large gap in the historical record and give an unforgettable soldier's-eye view of the Civil War.[via]More editions of Four Years With the Iron Brigade: The Civil War Journals of William R.

Gustavus Adolphus: A History of the Art of War from Its Revival After the Middle Ages to the End of the Spanish Succession War, With a Detailed Account of the Campaignsby Theodore Ayrault DodgeISBN 0306808633 (0-306-80863-3)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Gustavus Adolphus: A History of the Art of War from Its Revival After the Middle Ages to the End of the Spanish Succession War, With a Detailed Account of the Campaigns'Book summary:Gustavus Adolphus (15941632), King of Sweden, has been rightfully hailed as the father of modern warfare and as the most outstanding commander of the Thirty Years' War (16181648). Forming the first national conscript army in modern Europe, he emphasized officer education, strict discipline, rigorous training, and the combination of firepower and mobility, until he had forged a formidable fighting force that stands unrivaled between Caesar's legions and Napoleon's Grande Armée. In 1630 Gustavus rescued the beleaguered Protestant cause in Germany from the Catholic League of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II militarily, led by the era's two other great captains, Tilly and Wallenstein. Gustavus triumphed against them (twice defeating Tilly) in battles that are tactical masterpieces, but he was killed while leading a cavalry charge at Lutzen.Illustrated with nearly 250 drawings and maps, Dodge's brilliant work (1895) not only examines the life, battles, and military innovations of Gustavus Adolphus but continues beyond the end of the Thirty Years' War to 1712, discussing his influence upon the great captains who followedTurenne, Condé, Eugene, and Marlborough. The result is a clear, comprehensive study of a neglected but crucial period in the annals of warfare.[via]More editions of Gustavus Adolphus: A History of the Art of War from Its Revival After the Middle Ages to the End of the Spanish Succession War, With a Detailed Account of the Campaigns:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Heisenberg's War: The Secret History of the German Bomb'Book summary:One of the most important and controversial aspects of the history of World War II is the failure of the Germans to build an atomic bomb. Germany was the birthplace of modern physics; it possessed the raw materials and the industrial base; and it commanded key intellectual resources. What happened? This study tells of the interplay between science and espionage, morality and military necessity, and paranoia and cool logic that marked the German bomb programme and the Allied response to it. On the basis of interviews and intensive research, the author concludes that Werner Heisenberg, who was in charge of the German atomic effort, consciously obstructed the development of the bomb and, in a famous 1941 meeting in Copenhagen with his former mentor Neils Bohr, in effect sought to dissuade the Allies from their pursuit of the bomb.

Hardcover, St Martins Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Joan of Arc: Her Story'Book summary:The peasant girl who led an army against the English and placed Charles VII on the French throne has inspired countless books since her death at age 19. While others have claimed Joan the Maid (as she called herself) for every cause from feminism to working-class radicalism, this meticulous volume by two French scholars sticks close to the known facts. The authors make extensive use of contemporary documents that bring to life the turbulent political scene in which Joan operated as well as her forceful personality. Joan followed the directives of voices she believed were sent to her by God; her deep piety, self-assurance, decisiveness, and shrewd intelligence radiate from her letters and from her responses to hostile questioning at the rigged trial that resulted in her being burned alive as a heretic in 1431. General readers may be intimidated at first by a detailed narrative studded with lengthy quotations, but those who persevere will discover a story all the more moving because it is not manipulated to make a modern-day point. This English translation updates the 1986 French volume's bibliography, supplements the biographies in part 2 with sketches of historical figures less familiar outside of France, and generally makes the book more accessible for English-language readers. --Wendy Smith [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Journal of the Waterloo Campaign Kept Throughout the Campaign of 1815'Book summary:Journal of the Waterloo Campaign remains one of the most famous personal accounts of the climactic three days which ended the military career and empire of Napoleon Bonaparte. Captain Cavalié Mercer (17831868), was a skilled writer who recorded the day's events each evening. As a result, readers can experience through Mercer's keen eye the turbulence and graphic immediacy of the entire campaign: the news of Napoleon's return from Elba; the landing of Wellington's forces in Belgium; the lulls and hard marching; the battle at Quatre Bras (where Mercer fired a few rounds at Napoleon himself); Wellington's retreat; the ferocious fighting at Waterloo; and Mercer's own bold contribution to the larger Allied victory.[via]More editions of Journal of the Waterloo Campaign Kept Throughout the Campaign of 1815:

The Pianist: The Extraordinary True Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, 1939-1945by Wladyslaw SzpilmanISBN 0312263767 (0-312-26376-7)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Pianist: The Extraordinary True Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, 1939-1945'Book summary:Written immediately after the end of World War II, this morally complex Holocaust memoir is notable for its exact depiction of the grim details of life in Warsaw under the Nazi occupation. "Things you hardly noticed before took on enormous significance: a comfortable, solid armchair, the soothing look of a white-tiled stove," writes Wladyslaw Szpilman, a pianist for Polish radio when the Germans invaded. His mother's insistence on laying the table with clean linen for their midday meal, even as conditions for Jews worsened daily, makes palpable the Holocaust's abstract horror. Arbitrarily removed from the transport that took his family to certain death, Szpilman does not deny the "animal fear" that led him to seize this chance for escape, nor does he cheapen his emotions by belaboring them. Yet his cool prose contains plenty of biting rage, mostly buried in scathing asides (a Jewish doctor spared consignment to "the most wonderful of all gas chambers," for example). Szpilman found compassion in unlikely people, including a German officer who brought food and warm clothing to his hiding place during the war's last days. Extracts from the officer's wartime diary (added to this new edition), with their expressions of outrage at his fellow soldiers' behavior, remind us to be wary of general condemnation of any group. --Wendy Smith [via]

The Prince: With Related Documentsby William J. ConnellISBN 0312149786 (0-312-14978-6)
Softcover, Bedford/st Martins
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Prince: With Related Documents'Book summary:Widely read for its insights into history and politics, The Prince is one of the most provocative works of the Italian Renaissance. Based on Niccolò Machiavelli's observations of the effectiveness of both ancient and contemporary statesmen, the rules for governing set forth in his manual were considered radical and harsh by his contemporaries and shocking to many since then. This major new edition combines an accurate and accessible new translation with important related documents, many of which appear here in English for the first time. In his lucid introductory essay, William J. Connell offers fresh insights into Machiavelli's life, the meaning of his work, the context in which it was written, and its influence over time. Document headnotes, maps, a chronology of Machiavelli's life, questions for consideration, a selected bibliography, and index provide further pedagogical support. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Revolutionary War Memoirs of General Henry Lee'Book summary:At age twenty-two, General Henry Lee commanded the elite Lee's Legion and earned an enviable record: capturing the fort at Paulus Hook; distinguishing himself in the battles at Haw River, Guilford Courthouse, Eutaw Springs, and others; and helping in the siege of Yorktown. But by 1809 Lee's fortunes had tragically altered: He wrote these memoirs while jailed in a debtor's prison. Originally published in 1812 in two volumes as Memoirs of the War in the Southern Department of the United States, this third 1869 edition includes Robert E. Lee's biographical essay on his father, the only substantial piece of writing by the celebrated Confederate general. From Grant and Sherman to Eisenhower and De Gaulle, classic military accounts have emerged from the carnage of nearly every war; Lee's Memoirs are unique in that they are unrivaled in the history of the American Revolution.[via]More editions of The Revolutionary War Memoirs of General Henry Lee:

Templars: The Dramatic History of the Knights Templar, the Most Powerful Military Order of the Crusadesby Piers ReadISBN 030681496X (0-306-81496-X)
Softcover, Da Capo Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Templars: The Dramatic History of the Knights Templar, the Most Powerful Military Order of the Crusades'Book summary:The Knights Templar remain the most glamorous, but also the most mysterious, of all religious organizations. Romanticized by Walter Scott in his novel Ivanhoe and by Wagner in his opera Parsifal, the Templars have been both celebrated as ascetic martyrs, dying for the greater good of Christianity, and condemned as deviant heretics, thieves, and sodomites who sold the Holy Land out to the Muslim Infidels. In his carefully researched study The Templars, the acclaimed novelist Piers Paul Read investigates the truth behind the myth. Placing his account of the rise of the Templars within a wider historical and political context, Read argues that "The Templars were a multinational force engaged in the defence of the Christian concept of a world order: and their demise marks the point when the pursuit of the common good within Christendom became subordinate to the interests of the nation state."
This approach takes Read back into the Dark Ages and the context for the first Christian Crusade, which culminated in the capture of Jerusalem in 1099. In an attempt to hold on to Jerusalem and one of the holiest sites in Christendom, the Temple of Solomon, the Templars were formed as a strict religious-military order, committed to poverty, chastity, and the protection of pilgrims en route to the Holy Land. Read charts their rise to political and financial power and influence throughout Europe and the Holy Land, and their bloody (and ultimately unsuccessful) conflict with the forces of Islam over the subsequent two centuries. Read's account is painstakingly recounted, but often lacks the verve and pace demanded by the colorful cast of characters, including Saladin and Richard the Lionheart. The best sections of the book deal with the shockingly cynical destruction of the Order by Pope Clement V and King Philip the Fair in 1312, preceded by the torture and death of hundreds of Templars who had already fought bravely for the cross in the Holy Land. The Templars are fascinating, but in his attempt to avoid the more colorful and conspiratorial stories associated with the Order, Read's book may strike some as a little turgid, despite its admirable historical detail. --Jerry Brotton, Amazon.co.uk [via]

Virtual War: Kosovo and Beyondby Michael IgnatieffISBN 0312278357 (0-312-27835-7)
Softcover, St Martins Pr

› Find signed collectible books: 'Virtual War: Kosovo and Beyond'Book summary:On March 24, 1999, after talks at the French chateau of Rambouillet and further negotiations in Paris failed to produce an agreement between Kosovar and Serbian leaders, NATO commenced air strikes against Serbia. The Kosovo war would last 78 days. According to Michael Ignatieff, the war in Kosovo broke new ground. For those killed in the air strikes and the Kosovar Albanians murdered by Serbian police and paramilitaries, the war was real; yet it was "virtual" for the citizens of the NATO nations, who became spectators to events as "remote from their essential concerns as a football game." NATO combatants (who suffered no casualties) experienced the war as "split-second decisions made through the lens of a gun camera or over a video conferencing system." They rarely saw those they killed. Kosovo was a virtual war also in the political and legal sense, and in Virtual War Ignatieff explores the political and moral implications of what happens when war ceases to be fully real--when technological mastery removes death from the equation on one side.
Five characters figure prominently in Ignatieff's narrative of the war in Kosovo and its aftermath: Richard Holbrooke, the Clinton administration's special envoy for the Balkans; Wesley Clark, Supreme Allied Commander, Europe; Louise Arbour, prosecutor of the War Crimes Tribunal; Robert Skidelsky, independent member of the British House of Lords and critic of the war; and Aleksa Djilas, Yugoslav opponent of the bombing campaign. Though Ignatieff supports the military intervention, his encounters with these figures, particularly the opponents of the war, put his convictions to the test. The differing viewponts lend a sense of balance and evenhandedness in what is ultimately a deeply moral work. "Virtual reality is seductive," Ignatieff writes. "We see ourselves as noble warriors and our enemies as despicable tyrants. We see a war as a surgical scalpel and not a bloodstained sword. In so doing we mis-describe ourselves as we mis-describe the instruments of death. We need to stay away from such fables of self-righteous invulnerability. Only then can we get our hands dirty. Only then can we do what is right." --Svenja Soldovieri [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'With Snow on Their Boots: The Tragic Odyssey of the Russian Expeditionary Force in France During World War I'Book summary:In 1916, in an exchange of human flesh for war material, the Russian government sent to France two brigades to fight on the side of their French allies. By the end of World War I, these two brigades had experienced their own form of the Russian Revolution, had been isolated at a southern training post in a discipline move by the French government, had battled against each other in what was one of the first confrontations of the Russian Civil War, and had emerged from the conflict as a single force, the Russian Legion of Honor, which would remain loyal to France until the end of the war. The remarkable story of these Russian soldiers has been overlooked by historians until now. Jamie Cockfield here explores the journey and transformation of these men, and in so doing, he examines the impact of the revolution on the Russians who were caught in the middle of wartime alliances and nationalist ardor.[via]More editions of With Snow on Their Boots: The Tragic Odyssey of the Russian Expeditionary Force in France During World War I:
