The assassination of the Austrian HeirApparent, Franz Ferdinand, on 28 June1914 provoked what is described by manyhistorians as the Fundamental catastropheof the 20th century’. One of the armiesthat subsequently marched out in thehopes of a short war, was the Austro-Hungarian Army. In the war years thatfollowed, the soldiers of the k.u.k. Armywould travel to almost all the First WorldWar’s theatres of war. They fought inGalicia and Bukovina, in the CarpathianMountains and the Balkans, from 1915 inthe Southern Alps, on the Isonzo, inAlbania and in the Sinai Desert and lateron the German Western Front and in Asia.The war changed the k.u.k. Army, not onlyfrom a technical and a moral point ofview, but also with regard to itsappearance. The soldiers who marched outin 1914 presented a very different pictureto that of the final years of the war.

Afterthe Battle of Jutland in 1916 had confinedGermany’s High Seas Fleet to port, thetightening blockade became ever moreeffective, progressively causing theregulation of food prices, rationing, andfinally the dreadful ‘Turnip Winter’ of1917 in which its hungry population wasreduced to eating the eponymousvegetable, and brewing ersatz coffee fromacorns. 750,000 Germans starved to death,and the collapse in civilian morale led tosocial revolution, mutinies in the Fleet andArmy, and finally to Germany suing forarmistice terms.

The Richard Perkins warship identification albums form one of the most detailed studies ever undertaken of the changes to the appearance of Royal Navy ships.

However, it is a unique hand‑drawn manuscript artefact in the care of the National Maritime Museum, so despite its value it is rarely seen by anyone besides

the museum’s curators, for whom it is a precious resource, used on an almost daily basis.

The first four publication’s of this monumental work in superbly produced multi‑volume editions. They

capture all the qualities of the original, made possible because of the collaboration with the museum.

Every page is reproduced at full size, making the extensive hand‑written annotation readable, while the fine‑line drawings retain all the colours that Perkins

used to denote appearance differences and alterations.

RED WIND OVER THE BALKANS The Soviet Offensive South of the Danube,

September–October 1944

A truly detailed HARDBACK 694 PAGE study of the two Soviet offensive operations carried out during September

and October 1944, the operation for the occupation of Bulgaria and the Belgrade Offensive.

This book describes two Soviet offensive operations carried out during September and October 1944. The first was the operation for the occupation of Bulgaria – known as the ʹBulgarian Operationʹ; the second was the Belgrade offensive operation, which was carried out immediately after the Bulgarian operation. Although separate, the two operations were closely linked to each other: the first was conducted in an almost peaceful manner, which saved resources. This necessitated that the Soviet Command carried out the second operation promptly, which seriously endangered the encirclement of German Army Group position in the Southern Balkans. Pressed by the advancing Red Army, the German troops withdrew from the territories of Greece and Albania. They also relocated fresh forces from the Western Balkans to the Bulgarian– Yugoslav Border in order to build up a defence line.

The book describes in detail the heavy battles during the Belgrade offensive operation. Both combatants suffered from the same problems: heavy mountainous terrain; poor roads and infrastructure; and severe weather conditions.

There is also a short description of the activities of the Bulgarian troops, who undertook a secondary offensive from the Aegean Sea to the town of Nis in Southern Serbia. The book describes the operations of both ground and air forces. Special attention is paid to the Soviet tank and mechanised units which participated in both operations, and the book benefits from a detailed set of daily statistics and accompanying analysis which has not been attempted before.

As well as a detailed narrative, the author also provides information covering camouflage, markings and unit insignia. The authoritative text is supported by more than 400 photographs (the majority of them previously unpublished); full‑colour profiles showing the afore ‑mentioned camouflage, markings and unit insignia; and also full‑colour battle maps.

The authoritative text is supported by more than 400 photographs, full-colour profiles showing camouflage, markings and unit insignia;

CHURCHILL’S SECRET WAR WITH LENIN

British and Commonwealth Military Intervention in the Russian Civil War, 1918‑20

A heavyweight hardback with 576 well typeset pages,

203 black & white photographs, 8 maps and 7 tabulated lists. This title, when released, caused a sensation on the internet forums, with praise being heaped upon

the author Damien Wright.

During a visit to Washington in 1954, Winston Churchill said: “If I had been properly supported in 1919, I think we might have strangled Bolshevism in its cradle, but everybody turned up their hands and said, ‘How shocking!’”

Five years later during a stop in Hollywood, California, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev told a perplexed audience: “We remember the grim days when American soldiers went to our soil headed by their generals to... combat the new revolution. All the capitalist countries of Europe and America marched on our country to strangle our new revolution. Never have any of our soldiers been on American soil, but your soldiers were on Russian soil.”

Both men were referring to the already forgotten – and still obscure – Allied military intervention that is the subject of Damien Wright’s book, Churchillʹs Secret War with Lenin.

After three years of great loss and suffering on the Eastern Front, Imperial Russia was in crisis and on the verge of revolution. In November 1917, Lenin’s Bolsheviks (later known as ‘Soviets’) seized power, signed a peace treaty with the Central Powers and brutally murdered Tsar Nicholas (British King George’s first cousin) and his children so there could be no return to the old order. As Russia fractured into loyalist ‘White’ and revolutionary ‘Red’ factions, the British government became increasingly drawn into the escalating Russian Civil War after hundreds of thousands of German troops transferred from the Eastern Front to France were used in the 1918 ‘Spring Offensive’ which threatened Paris. What began with the landing of a small number of Royal Marines at Murmansk in March 1918 to protect Allied‑donated war stores quickly escalated, with the British government actively pursuing an undeclared war against the Bolsheviks on a number of fronts in support of British trained and equipped ‘White Russian’ Allies.

Despite the award of five Victoria Crosses (including one posthumous) and the loss of hundreds of British and Commonwealth soldiers, sailors and airmen, most of whom remain buried in Russia, the campaign remains virtually unknown in Britain today. After the withdrawal of all British forces in mid‑1920, the British government attempted to cover up its military involvement in Russia by classifying all official documents. By the time files relating to the campaign were quietly released decades later there was little public interest. Few people in Britain today know that their nation ever fought a war against the Soviet Union. The culmination of more than 15 years of painstaking and exhaustive research with access to many previously classified official documents, unpublished diaries, manuscripts and personal accounts, author Damien Wright has written the first comprehensive campaign history of British and Commonwealth military intervention in the Russian Civil War 1918–20.

THE LONG RANGE DESERT GROUP

History & Legacy

This is much more than a straight ‘history’ of the Long Range Desert Group; it looks into what was actually involved in

these deep missions into the desert behind Rommel’s lines and the kind of men it took to undertake them.

The world’s most respected special forces unit, the Special Air Service (SAS), was inspired by another irregular unit, the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) or simply Ghost Patrol. You may now accompany the authors in Ghost Patrol vehicles far, far behind Rommel’s lines. While doing so you will acquire insights into some extreme raids and reconnaissance missions.

You will become familiar with tactics and inventions of the Ghost Patrol that are still relevant today. This hardback with 160 pages, 30 black & white and 31 colour illustrations with 5 maps, is also the story of an LRDG research expedition to modern Egypt undertaken in original WWII Jeeps and described as a “2,300‑mile Sahara epic” by Classic & Sports Car magazine. Original LRDG training notes and other tips for extreme travellers are included.

His ideaspermeated the Academy and shaped thebasic military thinking of its graduates.The regular army officers who became thegeneral officers for both the Union and theConfederacy in the Civil War began byfollowing Jominian principles. His ‘Life ofNapoleon’, though less of a technicalcharacter than most of his other works, isregarded as his masterpiece.

Col. Lonsdale HaleSoftback 300 pages


A detailed examination of the campaignwhich terminated with the Germanreoccupation of Orleans. It took theGermans many years to realise the realsignificance of the stout fight which, afterthe capture or annihilation of practicallythe whole of the French Army, the peopleof France were able to maintain during asevere winter. The German conquest ofFrance and the unification of Germanyupset the European balance of power thathad existed since the Congress of Viennain 1815. French determination to regainAlsace-Lorraine and fear of anotherFranco-German war, along with Britishapprehension about the balance of power,became factors in the causes of World WarI. This study of the Franco-Prussian Warformed part of the ‘Pall Mall MilitarySeries’ devised for British Army officerswho wished to make a serious study oftheir profession. Colonel Hale's argumentas to the value of a people's army asauxiliary and supplemental to a fullytrained Regular Army looks particularlyinteresting in the light of the Great War’srecruitment, conscription and PalsBattalions.
