This volume features a full description of this armed cutter, its concept, origins, design details and wartime service With over 100 perspective and 3-view drawings, accompanied by in-depth descriptive keys and photos. This revised edition features a large-scale plan of the vessel on the reverse of an extended fold-out jacket. A title in a series that has established a substantial following in its specialist field. The Alert was one of many armed cutters that were used to supplement the British fleet between 1763 and 1835, and these small swift vessels were generally employed in minor roles such as conveying dispatches, routine patrol work and reconnaissance. Alert was constructed in Dover in 1777 an d was captured by the French in July 1778 while acting as escort for Keppel's fleet off Ushant. The 'Anatomy of the Ship' series aims to provide the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types ever published. What makes the series unique is a complete set of superbly executed line drawings, both the conventional type of plan as well as explanatory views, with fully descriptive keys. These are supported by technical details, photos and a record of the ship's service history. Peter Goodwin has been interested in wooden shipbuilding since his days as an engineering apprentice. He has written two other 'Anatomy of the Ship' volumes, The 20-Gun Ship Blandford and The Bomb Vessel Granado. His other Conway books include Nelson's Ships, and The Construction and Fitting of the Sailing Man of War 1650-1850. He has been the Keeper and Curator of HMS Victory for over ten years.

In the Wehrmacht Divisional Organisation the provision of anti-tank capacity had special importance. From the time they started rearming the Germans recognised the necessity of having effective anti-armour protection; they had after all seen the effectiveness of mass tank attacks in 1917-18. They therefore made a generous allocation of anti-vehicle weapons throughout the Division. Reconnaissance and Infantry components both had their anti-tank companies or sections while other elements had a limited organic anti-tank capacity. The Division as a whole, however, was also provided with a specialist antitank unit which had its own, positive role to play. This, initially was called the Panzer Abwehr Abteilung (Anti-tank Abteilung or Battalion) was a Battalion-sized unit reporting direct to Divisional HQ and seen from the start as not only providing defence against enemy attacks but also as accompanying the assault units in an attack to destroy enemy armoured counterthrusts. Accordingly it was, from the start, fully motorised even in otherwise horse-drawn Divisions and the motorisation was not regarded merely as transport; it gave tactical mobility. Thus each gun detachment had two medium cars, one towing the weapon while the other towed a light two wheeled limber trailer with ready-use ammunition. The platoon had its own command vehicle and dispatch rider and the organisation was extremely flexible.

In French Lancers Nigel de Lee describes their weapons and training. The lance was not easy to handle, it could be a deadly weapon in the hands of an intelligent horseman or "the slowest, heaviest, most beastly and useless in the hands of an idiot." Vivid personal accounts of battles and skirmished have been used by Nigel de Lee to explain the organization, formations, and tactical employment of Lancers. The text is accompanied by color illustrations and diagrams by Emir Bukhari.
