Race to Bastogne
Military history buffs who just can't get enough of the drama, detail, and strategy that took place during World War II have found the source that may sate their appetite. David Schranck's exhaustive and captivating book is an operational summary of the Ardennes Offensive, more commonly known as the Battle of the Bulge. He begins by providing a prehistory of the war that includes the preparations leading up to the campaign and ends with coverage of the battle's overall strategy and its outcome's impact on the rest of the war. Schranck passionately recounts the daily events and routines that soldiers on both sides endured and includes unflinching officer profiles and detailed analyses of large and small tactical decisions that influenced the battle's end result, revealing the intensity and determination of everyone involved. Race to Bastogne highlights the key events of the WWII's largest and costliest battle for the United States and the extreme heroism each side displayed attempting to defeat its enemy with only one goal in mind—victory.
Thunder at Prokhorovka
After the defeat at Stalingrad, Hitler had lost his momentum and was looking for a way to regain it. Operation Citadel was the intended means to fulfill that objective. If successful, a number of Soviet armies would be destroyed and the front line shortened, allowing for a better disposition of troops and a chance to rebuild Germany's exhausted reserves. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the operational events on both salients. It also includes critical analysis of both sides that points out errors of judgment or application that collectively had an important impact on campaign results. The book is highly annotated to give the reader additional sources to study and to provide additional perspectives to gain as complete an understanding of this critical campaign as possible. Besides an extensive text, the book's key strength is its mapping - 32 full-page color maps are accompanied by 7 large foldout sheets of maps, also in color. Together these specially commissioned maps provide a remarkably detailed guide to the combat operations. Thunder at Prokhorovka is destined to become an important reference to the Battle of Kursk.

Rikugun: Guide to Japanese Ground Forces 1937-1945
Rikugun: Guide to Japanese Ground Forces 1937-1945 is the first nuts-and-bolts handbook to utilize both the voluminous raw allied intelligence documents and postwar Japanese documentation as primary sources. This first volume covers the tactical organization of Army and Navy ground forces during the 1937-45 war. Using the wartime Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) mobilization plans, and the Unit Organization Tables, Unit Strength Tables and Unit History Tables compiled by the War Ministry and the 1st Demobilization Bureau during and after the war, a complete picture of IJA ground forces through the war is presented. The evolution of the Japanese force structure is examined, including infantry, armor, cavalry, artillery and naval ground combat units from battalion to division level, each thoroughly discussed and illustrated with tables of organization and equipment and mobilization data. This forms the framework for any discussion of the Imperial Japanese Army's capabilities and intentions.
Kursk 1943
Mauled at Stalingrad, the German army looked to regain the initiative on the Eastern Front with a huge offensive launched near the city of Kursk, 280 miles south-west of Moscow. Armed with the new Panther tank, Hitler and Field Marshal von Manstein were confident that they could inflict another crushing defeat on the Soviet Union. What they did not know is that the Soviets knew about the coming attack, and they were ready. This book focuses on the southern front of this campaign, which featured one of the biggest clash of armour of the warin the battle of Prokhorovka which involved over a thousand tanks. It examines in detail the tactics and mistakes of the army commanders as they orchestrated one of the bloodiest battles in World War II. Using campaign maps, stunning photographs and vivid artwork, this new study, a companion to Campaign 272 Kursk 1943: The Northern Front, examines whether that the German offensive was doomed from the start as it takes the reader through this titanic clash of armour.
Chaconne
In this authoritative parallel edition of the world famous Chaconne we trace the development of the piece from its inception as a student work up to the ground-breaking Romantic arrangement made by the 19C violinist Ferdinand David. Along the way we compare the two works side by side to reveal both the corrections necessary to a proper realisation of the original and the stylistic enhancements that David brought with his arrangement of the work. In addition to a complete critical commentary and the fully corrected and annotated edition of the original work for continuo and violin we present for the first time, the previously unpublished definitive edition of David's arrangement for piano and violin prepared from his private working copy and a new revised edition of the Hermann arrangement for viola which may be performed as an alternative to David's violin part.
