The story of HMS Belfast, a Town Class cruiser, is a remarkable and vital one. Commissioned at the outbreak of World War 2, she became one of the first victims of the German magnetic mine. After two years of re-building she emerged as one of the most modern equipped cruisers of the time and joined the fleet that covered the terrifying convoys to Russia. She was in the only radar controlled "big ship" action when the Scharnhorst was sunk. After World War 2 she spent most of her commissions in the Far East as a flagship and part of various "peace-keeping" fleets.

Along with their German counterpart Fokker, Sopwith Aeroplane Company produced the most important and influential aircraft of World War I. Using designs based on prewar Schneider Cup-winning biplanes, the British manufacturer built such seminal models as the Pup, Snipe, and Camel. With a thorough history and large selection of period photography, Mick Davis reveals the common threads that linked Sopwith designs, and describes their service as the quintessential Allied aircraft of World War I.

As a student at the University of Illinois, "Barney" Cosneck won two Big Ten wrestling championships. Later he served as Judo instructor in the armed forces, where he co-authored "How to Fight Tough" with Jack Dempsey. In "American Combat Judo" he has adapted the best of Japanese ju jitsu, French foot fighting, Chinese boxing and American wrestling to produce simple but effective techniques for defense and counterattack. Authored in 1944 and illustrated with 188 photo sequences, this book, considered one of the cornerstones of American WWII era "Combatives" is a unique window into self defense theory and the early evolution of combined martial systems.

A selection of German wartime photographs from the Bundesarchiv, Koblenz. In the Balkans Hitler, partly through his own obstinacy and partly through the sheer incompetence of his allies, was embroiled in a cruel guerrilla campaign. The partisans, operating from their mountain hideouts, were able to keep the Germans engaged in a contest which they could not win, but which they could not afford to lose. And all the time valuable resources were being drained from such vital theatres as Russia and Italy. Here, told with the aid of many high quality photographs taken by German war correspondents, is one of the stories which decided the outcome of the war.

A selection of German wartime photographs from the Bundesarchiv, Koblenz. Specially trained, uniformed and equipped, the eight divisions of German mountain troops -Gebirgsjager-fought with distinction from the Arctic Circle to the Mediterranean, taking part in many of the decisive battles of World War 2. This unique photographic history records their activities in Norway, Finland, Russia, the Balkans and Italy; shows their uniforms, badges and hardware; and outlines the operations in which they participated. It will thus be welcomed by military historians, enthusiasts and modellers as filling a genuine gap in the literature of the war.

The Constitution was one of the US Navy's first six original frigates, ordered as a counter to the Barbary corsairs in the Mediterranean. Fast and heavily built, she was nominally rated as a 44 but mounted thirty 24-pdr and twenty-two 12-pdr cannon. Her most famous encounter, after which she became nicknamed 'Old Ironsides' due to British shot being seen bouncing off her hull, involved HMS Guerriere, which she smashed; the same treatment was meted out to HMS Java four months later. Now the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, she is berthed in Boston Harbor.
