100 YEARS OF MODERN WARFARE
The Royal Navy and Imperial German Navy entered the First World War with weapons systems they had not used in battle before.

THE DEFINITIVE SOURCEBOOK
The 1930s was a turbulent decade for the world at large - a decade framed by the economic crash of 1929, and the outbreak of the Second World War. But it was also the decade that saw the rise of glamorous Hollywood fashions, with silver screen goddesses wearing slinky satin gowns that marked a new and overtly sensual direction in women's fashion design.
This enchanting book, the second in the series, reveals a world of revolutionary changes in fashion. This is the era of the skirt suit, of sportswear-as-daywear and jersey fabrics, of fur coats and matching accessories. It is the decade of so many trends that are, even today, so eminently wearable.
