This book follows the training and first drops of the Fallschirmjager, which taught the allies the use of airborne troops. But as a quirk of fate would have it; after Crete Hitler decided they could no longer be used because the surprise of airborne drops had been extended. These elite forces were still used as ground troops until the end of the war. In this book we examine and trace their history through the eye of the camera lens.

This monograph presents a detailed catalogue of all published examples of lorica segmentata, or articulated Roman plate armour, from the entire Roman empire. It includes eleven categories of fittings, and surviving examples of the iron plates are individually illustrated. This is the first time that all these fittings have been gathered under one cover, and as such it will prove an invaluable resource for re-enactors and experimental archaeologists, as well as anybody working with Roman period small finds.

Medieval culture was intensely visual. Although this has long been recognised by art historians and by enthusiasts for particular media, there has been little attempt to study social display as a subject in its own right. And yet, display takes us directly into the values, aspirations and, indeed, anxieties of past societies. In this illustrated volume a group of experts address a series of interrelated themes around the issue of display. Among the themes are family and lineage, social distinction and aspiration, ceremony and social bonding, and the expression of power and authority. The objects studied include monumental effigies, brasses, stained glass, rolls of arms, manuscripts, jewels, plate, seals and coins.

The Sailing Navy, 1775-1854, the first volume in the definitive five-volume U.S. Navy Warship series, comprehensively details all aspects of the ships that sailed in the nascent stages of the U.S. Navy. From its beginnings as battlers of Barbary Coast pirates, to challenging the awesome might of the Royal Navy in the War of 1812, to the historic blockade that proved instrumental in winning the Mexican-American War, the sailing ships foreshadowed the daring and resolve of the later U.S. Navy. With its all-inclusive lists of data, The Sailing Navy is the most in-depth resource available on the ships that shaped the early history of the U.S. Navy.
