(Subject: Land Vehicles & Weapons - General) In the battles to hold the Eastern Front, the Panther tank was perhaps the most important weapon in the Wehrmacht’s arsenal. Desperately switched from one crisis-point to the next, the Panther battalions of the Heer, Waffen-SS and the Luftwaffe were able to blunt the Red Army’s spearheads time and again and in 1944 the Panther’s body was used to create the best known tank destroyer of the war, The Jagdpanther.

Volume 1 includes Unit histories of the Army’s Panther battalions from Panzer-Regiment 1 to Panzer-Regiment 25, 13 pages of full colour artwork, detailed tables of organisation and explanation of the KstN system, black and white archive photographs and campaign maps.

(Subject: Land Vehicles & Weapons - General) The T-14 ‘Armata’ Main Battle Tank made its public debut in May 2015, at a time of renewed tensions between Russia and the United States and its NATO allies. The appearance of the T-14 was for Western observers as much a revelation as the IS-3 heavy tank that made a shock appearance in the Victory Parade in Berlin in September 1945. After years of making do with updating Soviet era tanks, the Armata is the first genuinely new post-Soviet Russian design. The T-14 is technically sophisticated and the first with a fully automated turret entirely devoid of crew as one of many new design features. However, the tank is expensive to build and maintain compared to the T-90 and T-72B3 MBTs and requires significant crew training compared with other tank types.

(Subject: Naval & Maritime: Ships, Submarines & Other Vessels - General) On the night of 13/14 October 1939, the Type VIIB U-boat U-47, on its second War Patrol, penetrated the main Royal Navy base at Scapa Flow and sank the British battleship HMS Royal Oak. This legendary attack is remembered as one of the most audacious raids in the history of submarine warfare. Entering service in December 1938 under the command of Oberleutnant zur See, later Kapitänleutnant Günther Prien, after sinking HMS Royal Oak both Prien and his famous U-boat were known thereafter as ‘The Bull of Scapa Flow’. During a celebration in Berlin to mark the sinking, the crew members of U-47 were received by Adolf Hitler. For his part, Prien received the Knight’s Cross, becoming the first U-boat officer and only the second member of the Kriegsmarine to receive this decoration.

(Subject: World War II - Eastern Front) In November 1942, as the Battle of Stalingrad continued to rage, the Red Army launched a devastating counter-attack from outside the city. The Soviet forces smashed the German siege and encircled Stalingrad, trapping some 290,000 soldiers of the German 6th Army inside. For almost three months, during the harshest period of the Russian winter, the besieged German troops endured atrocious conditions. Freezing cold and reliant on dwindling food supplies from Luftwaffe air drops, thousands died from starvation, frostbite or infection, if not from the fighting itself.

(Subject: Post World War II - The War Against Terror) ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and the Alt-Right. An expert on terrorism and an expert on counterterrorism answer the two questions everyone is asking about the rise of terrorism today: why is this happening, and when will it end? Since the death of bin Laden in 2011, ISIS has risen, al-Qaeda has expanded its reach, and right-wing extremists have surged in the United States for the same simple reason: terrorism works. It’s not caused by psychosis or irrationality, as the media often suggests. Instead, it’s terrifyingly logical. Violent acts produce political results. The authors explore the history, rationales and precepts of terrorism, from the assassination of Tsar Alexander II, through the terror campaigns by Irish and Indian nationalists, and to the Nazis and Italian Fascists. They show how the American invasion of Iraq created the conditions for the emergence of al-Qaeda in Iraq, part of which metastasized into ISIS, while Russia’s increasing intervention in Syria allowed both of these organizations to evolve.

(Subject: Aviation - World War II ) Luftwaffe Stuka at war against Tito's partisans in Yugoslavia, 1941-1945. The very name, Stuka, is synonymous with the screaming sirens and the crump of heavy bombs, and for the lightly armed Partisan forces it meant despair, defeat and often, death. For five long years Stuka units in the Balkan theater came and went, depending on the war fortunes of the Axis. The bomb loads that the Ju 87 carried and the precision with which they were delivered was a winning combination. In September, 1943 it was the Stuka which spearheaded the defeat of Italian forces, and until the last day of the war it was the first line of defence against the might of The Red Army.

(Subject: Osprey: Armour) The Red Army suffered such catastrophic losses of armour in the summer of 1941 that they begged Britain and the United States to send tanks. The first batches arrived in late 1941, just in time to take part in the defence of Moscow. The supplies of British tanks encompassed a very wide range of types including the Matilda, Churchill, and Valentine. American tanks included the M3 (Stuart) light tank and M3 (Lee) medium tank and the M4 Sherman tank, which became so common in 1944-45 that entire Soviet tank corps were equipped with the type. With these Western tanks, the Soviets were finally able to beat back the German tide in the East. This study examines the different types of tanks shipped to the Soviet Union during the war, Soviet assessments of their merits and problems, and combat accounts of their use in Soviet service using full colour artwork, contemporary photographs and detailed cut-away illustrations.

(Subject: Osprey: Armour) The T-26 was the first major Soviet armour program of the 1930s, beginning as a license-built version of the British Vickers 6-ton export tank. Although the T-26 retained the basic Vickers hull and suspension, the Red Army began to make extensive changes to the turret and armament, starting with the addition of a 45mm gun in 1933. The T-26 was built in larger numbers than any other tank prior to World War II. Indeed, more T-26 tanks were manufactured than the combined tank production of Germany, France, Britain, and the United States in 1931-40. This book surveys the development of the T-26 as well as its combat record in the Spanish Civil War, the war in China, the border wars with Poland and Finland in 1939-40, and the disastrous battles of 1941 during Operation Barbarossa.

(Subject: Osprey: Warrior) The rifle corps of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars were among the most recognisable of all the soldiers of that era: their distinctive dark green uniforms were as familiar as some of their exploits. They achieved considerable fame through the large numbers of memoirs written by members of the rifle corps as well as through modern fiction, most notably the Sharpe series. Apart from their reputation as a corps d'elite, the riflemen were, in their time, at the very cutting edge of military technology and tactical theory. Philip Haythornwaite uses first hand accounts and detailed research to give a 'soldier's-eye view' of the British Rifleman, his life and work.
