Armonk, NY: M. E. Sharpe. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1991. Hard Cover. 0873328086 . Xiv,224,[1] pages, 8 plates, maps, cloth, dj, very good. From the dust jacket: "Fifty years ago, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and brought a reluctant America into the Second World War. Armed with fresh materials that have become available only in the last decade, Renzi and Roehrs take a new look at 'The Great Pacific War.' Unlike standard Western histories of World War II, Never Look Back includes the Japanese perspective. It also brings to light little-known facts: In Operation Flying Elephant the Japanese attempted to cause forest fires in the American West by releasing hydrogen-filled balloons. When Americans of Japanese ancestry were interned in the United States during the conflict, word reached Japan of their plight and resulted in even greater mistreatment of American POWs. Japan did not surrender because of the American atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, firebombing of other cities, or submarine campaign, but because the USSR entered the war. In Never Look Book readers will encounter a dramatic fast-paced narrative of the epochal conflict in the Pacific." . more information

Winnipeg: J. J. Federowicz Publishing. Very Good. 2003. Hardcover. 0921991762 . 377 pages, well illustrated (many in color) , map, fine pictorial boards, 9 by 12 inches. From the publisher: " From the publisher: This photo album presents the history of the division through a brief text, hundreds of photographs, several maps and numerous custom color illustrations. This book offers the first account in English of this battle-proven division, which was formed shortly before the outbreak of the war. It fought in Poland, France and in the opening stages of the campaign in Russia. In mid-1942, it was pulled out of the line, reconstituted and reorganized in France and then sent to North Africa as part of Hitler's desperate attempt to save the situation there. Although the division spent only six months in the desert, it fought both the British and the Americans. It gave the "green" American Army a bloody nose in some of its first encounters with the Germans, including the legendary fighting at Kasserine Pass, before it had to bow to defeat and capitulation at Tunis in May 1943. Although the division had a proud and successful history, it was never reconstituted. Authors J. Restayn and N. Moller have brought this division to life with photographs that chronicle the division from its formation to its demise. Hundreds of unpublished photographs from veterans of the division are coupled with breathtaking combat photography from French and German archives. In addition to the pictorial coverage, the reader is treated to a concise account of the division's history, maps of all of its major campaigns, numerous tables of tank inventories and order of battle along with 34 pages of full-color illustrations, including two pages of color photographs. J. Restayn has superbly illustrated virtually all of the combat vehicles and artillery pieces of the division, as well as most of the armored personnel carriers, armored cars and soft-skinned vehicles it used throughout its 44-month history. In addition, there are numerous renderings of some of the armored vehicles the division encountered during its campaigns. " EDV_78 ; 377 pages . more information

Havertown, PA: Casemate. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 2002. Hardcover. 0971170932 . Xx, 360 pages, 8 plates, 36 situation maps, cloth, DJ, very good. From the dust jacket: "The 9th SS Panzer Division Hohenstaufen and 10th SS Panzer Division Frundsberg started forming in September 1942 but did not become operational and part of II SS Panzer Corps until March 1944. Then, instead of remaining as intended in France as part of the anti-invasion force, they found themselves being rushed to the Ukraine to deal with a new Soviet offensive. Three months later the Allies landed in Normandy and SS General Paul Hausser's Corps, having dealt with one crisis, was brought back to face another. II SS Panzer Corps played a significant part in the Normandy campaign, participating in a major counter-attack against the British in late June and bitter holding battles against Montgomery's Armies throughout July and August. Then, after narrowly avoiding annihilation in the Falaise Pocket, the exhausted Hohenstaufen and Frundsberg Divisions found themselves lying in the path of the greatest airborne operation of the war Market Garden. Their performance in countering this attempt to end the war by Christmas has been admired by friend and foe alike. Reconstituted in December, with the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich replacing the Frundsberg, 11 SS Panzer Corps was destined by the Fuhrer to play a major part in his last great offensive in the West, better known as `The Battle of the Bulge'. No sooner had this ended in failure, than the Corps was moved to the Eastern Front to join its sister SS Panzer Corps in the last German offensive on that front. Overtaken by a massive Soviet onslaught in March 1945, II SS Panzer Corps found itself swept back to the borders of the Reich. In early May that year, the men who had fought under the Hakenkreutz and SS runes for fourteen months were ordered to surrender to the Americans. With his usual painstaking attention to detail, Michael Reynolds has analysed each of the campaigns of II SS Panzer Corps. As a former professional soldier, experienced in battle and modern armored tactics, he is able to narrate each action in a unique manner. His refreshing candour and conclusions, reached without bias or prejudice, will surprise many. " B5-3 ; 360 pages . more information

Written from the heart, his letters come straight across the years with the immediacy of truth - his truth about the life of himself and his comrades, even the enemy, and the civilians encountered in Africa, Italy, and Greece - surely 'a soldier's tale, cut in stone, to move all hearts.' Since he survived some of the worst of North Africa and Cassino and, one by one, his friends, only to die in Greece of an unsuspected disease after literally wearing himself out in the service of others, his document graphically records many extraordinary and deeply moving incidents of battle." . more information

There are four ways to Tokyo - through the Aleutians and Siberia, through he Pacific direct from the United States, through Burma and China, or through the islands from Australia. In his conception of strategy the author not only balances weapon against weapon, man against man, but penetrates also into the very cultures of the protagonists to find evidence of their military capabilities. The result is startling and important, because it indicates how strongly the state of mind of a nation not only influences its war plans but even shapes the basic design of its weapons. Highway to Tokyo arrives at the inescapable conclusion that there is only one route to Japan which offers any promise of victory - one geographic highway, one tactical method, one mental 'direction.'" . more information

From the dust jacket: "How did Rommel appear to the men who fought at his side in the desert? What was desert warfare like from the German point of view? The author of this book answers these questions with authority, for he was aide-de-camp to General Rommel during some of the most vital phases of the Libyan campaigns, and he also had long experience as a front-line regimental officer in North Africa.

From the dust jacket: " 'Gentlemen, what Philip of Spain failed to do, what Napoleon tried and failed to do and what Hitler never had the courage to try, we are about to do and, with God's grace we shall'-with these words, Rear Admiral Creasy, Chief of Staff to the Naval Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, concluded his briefing to military correspondents assembled to witness and report on the greatest amphibious operation of all time. In this book, Vice Admiral Schofield describes the great events of thirty years ago which as Captain of HMS Dryad, the Royal Navy shore establishment which housed Supreme Allied Headquarters prior to the landing, he witnessed at first hand. Operation Neptune was the codeword for the naval side of the 'Overlord' plan for the landings in Normandy and covered a vast multitude of tasks from beach reconnaissance, minesweeping, shore bombardment and the organisation of loading, assembly and disembarkation through to such novel tasks as the positioning of the Mulberry artificial harbours and the laying of the Pluto pipeline. Not perhaps a naval battle in the classic sense, nonetheless Operation Neptune must rank as one of the greatest naval operations in history and has a fitting place in the Close-up series.
