1-229250 Matyszak, Phillip SPARTA: Rise of a Warrior Nation Contemporaries portrayed the Spartans as the stereotypical macho heroes: noble, laconic, totally fearless, and impervious to discomfort and pain.To a large extent,the Spartans lived up to this image. This focus is on the Spartan hoplite, who was respected and feared throughout Greece in his own day, and who has since become a legend and the society that produced such warriors.

Also examines the idea of ancient Sparta as a city of contrasts, with physical toughness and heroism in adversity but also systematically abused their children. Sparta gave rights to citizen women that were unmatched in Europe until the modern era, while subjecting their conquered subject peoples to a murderous reign of terror. Although idealized by the Athenian contemporaries of Socrates Sparta was almost devoid of intellectual achievement.

1-229260 Sampson, Gareth ROME AND PARTHIA - EMPIRES AT WAR: Ventidius, Antony and the Second Romano-Parthian War, 40-20 BC Analyses the military campaigns and the various battles between the two superpowers of the ancient world and the war which defined the shape and division of the Middle East for the next 650 years. Explains the motives behind Marc Antony's invasion of Parthia and all the reasons it ultimately failed.

The first war between two superpowers of the ancient world had resulted in the total defeat of Rome and the death of Marcus Crassus. When Rome collapsed into Civil War in the 40s BC, the Parthians took the opportunity to invade and conquer the Middle East and drive Rome back into Europe.

What followed was two decades of war which saw victories and defeats on both sides. The Romans were finally able to gain a victory over the Parthians thanks to the great, but now neglected, general Publius Ventidius. These victories acted as a springboard for Marc Antony's plans to conquer the Parthian Empire, which ended in ignominious defeat.

1-229230 Glover, Gareth MARCHING, FIGHTING, DYING: Experiences of Soldiers in the Peninsular War Explores the everyday experience of British troops during the Napoleonic War in the Peninsular using excerpts from their letters. Only extracts from letters written during the campaigns are quoted - journals written much later for publication are discounted - so a true picture of life in the army at war comes out directly, as it was perceived at the time. Every aspect of the soldiers' experience is covered, from the fatigue and discomfort of existence on military service to the reality of combat and their feelings when a comrade was wounded or killed. The letters reveal so much about their attitude to the enemy, civilians and the men who served alongside them. Since this was the first war in history where regular postal services operated - and since a rising number of soldiers were able to read and write - their letters offer us an insight into men at war that has never been recorded before. 1 vol, 344 pgs 2021 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-229280 de Watervliet, Jean-Michael BELGIUM IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR When the Germans invaded neutral Belgium in May 1940, defeat and occupation were inevitable but Belgian armed forces held out against a vastly superior enemy for 18 days. The elected Government went into exile in London but King Leopold III controversially remained with his people as a prisoner.

Covers the Belgians who continued the fight both outside and inside their country, including two Belgian RAF squadrons, the Colonial Army that defeated the Italians in East Africa, and the Belgian Brigade that fought from Normandy to Germany.

Also includes the Belgian Resistance and organized escape routes, sabotage against the Germans, and spy efforts on behalf of the Allies as well as collaborators and those who fought for the Germans. Large numbers of them were tried postwar for war crimes and treason.

This book selects 360 black and white images to record the Eastern Front and the extraordinary experience of the soldiers and civilians.

The photographs and captions take the reader through the entire course of the war, from the Nazi-Soviet Pact and Soviet expansion into Poland, Finland, and the Baltic Republics, through Operation Barbarossa and the German advances of 1941 and 1942, to the momentous battles at Stalingrad and Kursk and the sequence of massive offensives mounted by the Red Army that drove the Wehrmacht back to Berlin.
