Lewis Winstock in this pioneer work investigates the real music of war. His book contains a long narrative, a superb collection of soldiers' songs - ribald, rousing, sentimental, satirical, over fifty of which are arranged for the piano. The use of instrumental music in war is also covered, old favourites are re-appraised, and some bizarre stories unfold. To find material for his book, the author has combed the memoirs of the soldiers of Cromwell, Wolfe, Marlborough, Wellington, Roberts and Buller, to name but a few. The result is a book of value to the historian and musician, and one which should delight the general reader. |

In 1807 Tsar Alexander I granted a commission to a young cavalryman who had shown valour in the campaign against the French. The Tsar knew - and some fellow officers soon guessed - that this brave soldier was a woman. Disguised as a man, Nadezhda Durova served nearly ten years in the Russian light cavalry during the Napoleonic Wars. Her campaign service included the Battle of Borodino in 1812. She wrote an account of her experiences in the 1830s, and Mary Fleming Zirin here accomplishes a modern and annotated translation. |

Professor Craig's study describes the influence exerted in German domestic and foreign policy by the Prussian-German army, "the strongest supporter of the monarchial state and the most effective and inveterate opponent of political change." It traces the three-hundred-year ascendancy of the army from the founding of the Hohenzollern military state by the Great Elector and King, Frederick William I, and describes its stubborn resistance to liberal and democratic reform movements and its successful maintenance of authority until it was outmaneuvered and forced into humiliating subordination by Adolf Hitler. This book also offers new documentation of the critical years of the Weimar Republic. |

A celebration and a tribute to the warriors of the air who as young men served their country with unselfish devotion. Hear their words. Join these young Canadians in combat. AN EXCERPT FROM THE ACCOUNT OF GROUP CAPTAIN RAYNE SCHULTZ, 410 SQUADRON. It was heading home very fast, a Junkers 188, in thin cloud, well out over the North Sea. We hit it badly, and it was flaming, two-three hundred yards [of] flames streaming behind... my navigator, being a serious-minded individual said, "Let's get in closer and take a good look at it, as it is a different type of aircraft and I can report on it when we get down." So I closed in, which was the stupidest thing I ever did.... The mid-upper gunner was not dead; he was sitting inside of the flames. The next thing I saw the gun traversing down toward us. I broke as fast as I could, but he put forty to forty-four 13mm cannon shells into us. I had pistons blown out of one engine and the constant speed unit blown out in the other. We were going to bail out! We jettisoned the door and the navigator was halfway out when the chap came back from the Ground Control Intercept (GCI) and said, "There is a Force 9 to 10 sea and we will never be able [to rescue] you." So we brought that aircraft back to Bradwell Bay and I can tell you it near flew again. My navigator was wounded, bleeding from the face. I could see the engines running red hot, one was actually running on molten metal... the whole thing glowing inside. The air bottles were shot away and I had no brakes for landing. The Mosquito was in ribbons. |

This is a somewhat dated manual but just as relevant today. This manual is essentially an encyclopedia of targeting enemy physical infrastructure for destruction with incendiaries, and explosives, with the intent of crushing the enemies manufacturing and sustainment capabilities. In the aspect of just sabotage portion of this manual, it is one of the more detailed books on the topic with specific tactics, techniques and procedures. |
