Live at the forbidden City offers a singular look at the rapidly evolving Chinese popular music scene, as seen through the eyes of one of the first progressive Western musicians to perform extensively in both China and Taiwan.

Meanwhile, the Sturmtiger mounted an earth-shattering 380-millimetre rocket mortar, designed primarily for urban warfare and assaults against heavy fortifications; only eighteen were manufactured, making it one of the war's rarest vehicles. This book is packed with large, clear photos of the Tiger I and Sturmtiger and includes colour plates by Uwe Feist.
Following in the best traditions of German ingenuity in design and construction of armoured vehicles, the SdKfz 251 firmly realised the concept of a competent cross-country tactical vehicle for armoured infantry units. So successful was this half-track that not only did a modified version of it remain in use with Czech forces well into the 1980s but also, ironically, the armoured infantry tactics that the Germans pioneered with it were adopted by Allied forces in the Second World War and helped them to achieve the eventual defeat of Germany. This book covers the genesis and development of the SdKfz 251, and details the numerous modifications and variations that sprang from combat experience.
