Это крупное историческое событие не могло никого в России оставить безучастным, поэтому неслучайно журнал, помимо обычных репортёров хроники, отправил на театр военных действий ни много ни мало восемь своих корреспондентов-фотографов.

The closest thing to total war before World War One, the Seven Years' War was fought in North America, Europe, the Caribbean and India with major consequences for all parties involved. This fascinating book is the first to truly review the grand strategies of the combatants and examine the differing styles of warfare used in the many campaigns. These ranged from the large-scale battles and sieges of the European front to the ambush and skirmish tactics used in the forests of North America. Daniel Marston's engaging narrative is supported by official war papers, personal diaries and memoirs, and official reports.

In 1808 Napoleon dominated Europe, but the peace was not to survive for long. Todd Fisher continues his detailed account of the Napoleonic Wars with Austria's attack against Napoleon in 1809. Despite being defeated at Aspern-Essling, Napoleon rallied his forces and emerged triumphant at Wagram. With glorious victory behind him Napoleon now turned his attention to Russia and invaded in 1812. Yet the army was not the Grand Armee of old, and even the capture of Moscow availed him nothing. The foe remained elusive, the decisive battle remained unfought. This book tells the full story of the now legendary retreat from Moscow, as the fighting force that had vanquished Europe perished in the snows of the Russian winter.

Civil War America: Voices from the Homefront describes the myriad ways in which the Civil War affected both Northern and Southern civilians. A unique collection of essays that include diary entries, memoirs, letters, and magazine articles chronicle the personal experiences of soldiers and slaves, parents and children, nurses, veterans, and writers. Exploring such wide-ranging topics as sanitary fairs in the North, illustrated weeklies, children playing soldier, and the care of postwar orphans, most stories communicate some element of change, such as the destruction of old racial relationships, the challenge to Southern whites' complacency, and the expansion of government power. Although some of the subjects are well known—Edmund Ruffin, Louisa May Alcott, Henry Cabot Lodge, Booker T. Washington—most of the witnesses presented in these essays are relatively unknown men, women, and children who help to broaden our understanding of the war and its effects far beyond the front lines.

The Mighty Bersaglieri are Italy's elite infantry. They wear distinctive black cockerel feathers on their helmets so the enemy can recognise them and be afraid. They seek out the enemy and defeat them, as well as provide their tanks with determined infantry support. The main strength of this army lies in the confident veteran Bersaglieri. They Form the core of* the attack, they are skilled enough to avoid most enemy fire, and when led by their stoic commanders, they will never flee the battle. The Carri Platoon screens ahead of" the infantry, softening up the enemy for the Bersaglieri's attack, while the Semovente 75/1 8's follow up the attack, taking care of any nasty surprises and harder armour that the Allies may have. The Anti-tank platoon holds the flank against any sneaky attacks by the enemy. The other flank is protected by the Italian's fine ArtiHery, which provides indirect support for the infantry attack, as well as deterring enemy tank attacks. Dug in, the Machine-gun and Anti-tank Platoons halt enemy infantry from attacking the valuable position. The Central fire alley is held by the Lancia da 90/53's, which provide support to whichever flank that is under pressure, as well as destroying any pesky aircraft that happen to be in the area.
