I would dare to say that most people have heard the name George S. Patton. Those who know military history are familiar with him and his actions, of course, but Patton is renowned among ordinary Americans in a way that few of our generals are. After Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson (both of whom were heroes to Patton), after George Washingt...
Submarines of World War II (published 1997)
Submarines
Despite the fact that German submarines had nearly brought Britain to her knees in World War I, the development of submarines was pursued with virtual indifference in the period between the wars except, in the case of the Japanese, for special purposes such as long-range scouting for their surface forces. From the outbreak of World War II in 193...
Ships of World War II includes all the main warships of World War II with over 90 photographs of the ships their design, development, and service history provided for each one of them. The book was written by an expert on naval history (John Ward). You will also find the full specifications for each ship, all weights and measurements (in metric ...
Toward the end of World War II, newspapers revealed what American soldiers had discovered months before — when Sherman tanks tried to slug it out with the heavier German Panzers, they came out second best. Historical argument has it that the hidebound conservatives of the Army effectively blocked the introduction of superior fighting vehicles ba...

The pamphlet is illustrated with comic style cartoons and pictures, making this a very graphic publication t...
Apocalypse (1945)
WWII Books
In 1963 Alexander McKee wrote: David Irving produced his book The Destruction of Dresden. This created a tremendous furor. Undoubtedly there were still some sensitive nerves about. However, Mr. Irving's approach was so historically balanced and precise that I felt he had failed to bring out to the full the terrible truths of the story. I had und...
British Military Uniforms (1948)
Various Wars Books
The history of military uniforms is (perhaps fortunately) much shorter than the history of warfare. Men have been fighting in more or less organized bodies since (and perhaps before) they became men. They have worn uniforms, in the proper sense, only for just under three hundred years. It is therefore possible to deal with the subject within the...
Military Courtesy (1949)
Comics
Saluting is a major part of the military discipline. Every military service in the world has a very strict regulatory framework about this issue and it might be surprising to some on how complicated or complex this can be. In 1949 the U.S. Army used a comic book approach creating the field manual FM 21-14 to reach semi-literate recruits who were...
Here is a little book that will delight thousands of LI'L ABNER fans. The predicaments confronting a certain acquaintance of LI'L ABNER, who joins the Navy, are in the highest traditions of Dogpatch humor. Al Capp is at his inventive best in the story, and highly entertaining. But accompanying the light treatment is a serious message from Mr. Ca...
