1-240450 Robert, Gresh OF KERNS AND GALLOWGLASSES: Irish Armies of the 16th Century 1487-1587 The first of a series of two books for the Retinue to Regiment series covering Irish armies of the Tudor era, this covers military affairs in Ireland, 1487 to 1587. The second book in the series will cover the period of rapid Irish military modernization coincident with the Armada and the Nine Years War. Ireland at the outset of the Tudor era was a highly militarized society, with more than sixty Gaelic lordships maintaining independent armed forces. By 1540's, the centralizing Tudor state had ended the self rule enjoyed by the Anglo-Irish Pale, and was embarked on an increasingly severe program of reconquest.

Also included are comprehensive army lists and unprecedented detail on Irish arms and armor of the period, tracing developments over time. New period sources and iconography are made use of. Besides the 'rising out' of the Pale and the traditional Irish troop types (horseman, galloglass and kern), a thorough examination is made of Scots Highland mercenary activity in Ireland, including weapons and organization. Also featured are the naval forces of the West Highland Scots and maritime clans of Ireland, including strength and changes in ship types over time.1 vol, 248 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-240410 Longacre, Edward GENERAL J. E. B. STUART: The Soldier and the Man Biography of Confederate General James Ewell Brown Stuart of Virginia who led the Army of Northern Virginia's cavalry arm during the ACW. His superiors generally praised his actions, but he also underperformed on several occasions -- notably at Gettysburg. Yet on more than a few occasions he underestimated his opponents, took unnecessary risks with his habitually understrength command, failed to properly discipline and motivate his troopers, and was prone to errors both strategic and tactical. Also probes elements of his character and personality that contributed to his battlefield performance.

These flaws were especially evident during the Gettysburg Campaign (June-July 1863), when his wayward path to the battlefield deprived Lee of the ability to negotiate safely his path toward a climactic confrontation with the Union Army of the Potomac. Because of the cavalryman's outsized reputation gained during the war-one embellished in the century and a half since-most of these errors have gone virtually unnoticed or, when addressed, have been excused in some fashion.1 vol, 504 pgs 2023 US, SAVAS BEATIE
