1-241380 Deakin, Quintin WALES IN WORLD WAR 2 Examines the experience of every part of the population present in Wales during WWII. Wales was vital to the war effort, from military training to public entertainment, from hosting several of Britain's most secretive weapons programs to housing 110,000 child evacuees, from the war economy to food security. Long-standing tensions between the Welsh people and the English authorities meant for a sometimes strained relationship, affecting the role of film, radio, and the arts in propaganda directed to audiences in the home. The book also looks at the legacy of the conflict on Wales after the war. Contains b/w photos and maps throughout, plus 16-page photo section.1 vol, 320 pgs 2024 UK, Y LOLFA

1-241320 Lawrence, Christopher ACES AT KURSK: The Battle for Aerial Supremacy on the Eastern Front, 1943 Discusses the intense air battle -- bigger than the Battle of Britain -- at the Battle of Kursk in July 1943. The battle in the south began with a Soviet air strike on German airfields and a fight for control of the air that continued throughout the day across the front. On the first day of the battle, July 5, 1943, the Germans flew at least 2,387 sorties in the south while the two Soviet air armies flew 1,688 sorties. That first day of battle resulted in 19 to 27 German planes and 189 Soviet aircraft shot down. Involved on the German side were the 52nd and 3rd Fighter Wings. The 52nd Fighter Wing was the most accomplished fighter wing in history, and many of its top aces were involved in the combats over the Kursk battlefield. Opposing them were what were to become three of the top five Soviet aces. 1 vol, 392 pgs 2024 UK, AIR WORLD

1-241350 Staiger, Jorg ANZIO NETTUNO: A Battle of Leadership Mistakes Written in 1962, this is a detailed account of the German reaction to the Allied landings at Anzio in January 1944. The battle lasted over six weeks, with mistakes made by leadership on both sides, and consequently also great sacrifice by soldiers on both sides. But the operation was not a German success either, and attempts to prevent the creation of a strong bridgehead failed. Ultimately the Allies would reach Rome, and the Allies applied lessons from this battle to facilitate the success of Overlord, launched five months later. Still one of the best German accounts of Operation Shingle and is here translated into English for the first time.1 vol, 192 pgs 2024 US, CASEMATE

1-241420 White, Kenneth THE BATTLE OF BONG SON: Operation Masher/White Wing, 1966 Operation Masher/White Wing targeted the regiments of the North Vietnamese Army Sao Vang Division operating in the Bong Son area in northeast Binh Dinh Province in central South Vietnam. The operation started on January 24, 1966, immediately after the Vietnamese New Year (Tet) and ended six weeks later. In 41 days of sustained fighting, the 1st Cav battled each of the three regiments of the Sao Vang Division, resulting in enemy losses of more than 3,000 KIA. This came at the cost of 199 Americans killed on the battlefield and 46 more who died in the crash of a U.S. Air Force C-123 aircraft en route to the battlefield.

However within a few weeks, intelligence reports indicated that North Vietnamese soldiers were returning to the Bong Son area in small groups. By late April, the Sao Vang Division was back in the area in force. Operation Masher/White Wing proved to be the start of a very long and deadly struggle between the 1st Cav and North Vietnamese for control of Binh Dinh Province-multiple search & destroy operations eventually resulted in more than 9,000 enemy KIA and 2,358 enemy detained, with friendly losses of more than 1,200 KIA, 5,775 WIA, and 27 MIA. Masher/White Wing demonstrated that search and destroy operations were very effective at the tactical level but without a high-level strategy to stop the unabated flow of fresh Communist troops and supplies into South Vietnam, it wasn't clear just how they contributed to overall victory.

1-241390 McCallion, Harry A HISTORY OF MODERN MERCENARY WARFARE Explores the development and role of modern mercenary forces from the British SAS-led deniable operation in Yemen in late 1960's, during which the Israelis were persuaded to arm the SAS-led Yemeni tribesmen; through the bush wars in Africa; Britain's ill fated intervention in the war in Afghanistan; right up to today's War in Ukraine.

Many of the modern-day British mercenaries were known to the author personally, including such notable figures as the SAS Fijian warrior 'Tak' Takevesia, who, although in his early sixties, shot his way out of an ambush in Baghdad; Fred 'Big Fred' Mrafano, who devoted himself to the cause of the people of Sierra Leone; SAS veteran Bill Scully, who received the Queen's Gallantry Medal, single-handedly protected 1,300 civilians from rebel troops during an uprising in May 1997 after the Sierra Leone coup; and American Vietnam veteran Major 'Mac' Mackenzie, who although badly wounded in Vietnam, rose from trooper to command a Rhodesian SAS squadron and was one of the units most highly decorated soldiers.1 vol, 224 pgs 2024 UK, PEN & SWORD
