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. |

On Easter Monday outside the General Post Office in Dublin James Connolly announced that there was no Irish Citizen Army and no Irish Volunteers. They were the Irish Republican Army. At the nearby Four Courts, Commandant Edward Daly told his men that "The Volunteers are now part of the Irish Republican Army." From that day through eight more decades the Irish Republican Army has waged war against the forces of the Crown, the Free State government, militant loyalists, and even within itself. The Volunteer is a history of the Irish Republican Army, its uniforms and weapons from 1913 to 1997 told through archival and rare photographs. |

The US Cavalry is a theme that reminds the reader of some of the most heroic actions in the military history of all times and at all the corners of the globe. This body, surrounded by the myths that made the US Cavalry known worldwide has seen how its image was either glorified with great campaigns idealized mainly by Hollywood, which were really nothing of the sort, or depicted too negatively with cruel actions, sometimes over exaggerated by subjective accounts. This book, pertaining the Historical Warriors collection, provides a brief introduction through various chapters, to what was the US Cavalry between 1865 and 1890, handling themes such as the myth and reality of this military body, its composition after the Succession War, the migration of the colonists and the role of the cavalry in the so called 'Indian problem'. From a strictly human viewpoint, the book also reveals the cavalry's social characteristics, in chapters dedicated to soldiers and officers' lifestyle and the cavalry's origins within the state of the American society of the epoch, as well as interesting introduction on discipline and life in the fort and on campaign. As far as the cavalry as a body is concerned, the book takes a look at the formation of the different regiments, combat strategies used during the Indian wars and in the great campaigns, equipment and armor, horses and their care and the different uniforms from the Civil War up to the last modifications, not forgetting to mention civilian clothing. The final chapters detail the main actions and portray the key players in this epic adventure. All the chapters are illustrated with photographs from the epoch, color illustrations, maps and diagrams, providing the reader with greater enjoyment of this essential work for those fascinated by military history. |

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. |

This little-known book includes an impressive compilation of black and white photographs from national police departments in almost every country in the world, including third world nations in Africa and Asia. At the time it was produced, many of these countries' police forces still wore uniforms from the colonial years before independence. Other countries such as those in Europe and North America wore the most modern styles, tempered by local tradition. This is an valuable study of the subject. |
