Explores the story of the first ten years of SAMS and the remarkable reputation quickly acquired by its graduates, educated in a pre-World War II horse cavalry stable at Fort Leavenworth.

Continues the two-part study of Cuba's air power, examining the turbulent decade that saw the island's military aviation thrust into sustained combat, political collapse, and Cold War confrontation.

Robinson, Joe and Francis Hendriks THE LAST GREAT CAVALRY CHARGE: The Battle of the Silver Helmets, Halen 12 August 1914
Analyzes how the charge was staged so that the German Fourth Cavalry Division, which was magnificently equipped and trained, would charge into glory with sabers rattling. Instead, 24 German officers, 468 men, and 843 horses were lost during no less than the eight separate charges that were conducted that day. The entire right wing of the imperial German Army included only nine cavalry brigades in the well-known Schlieffen Plan, and in one battle, two of those brigades were seriously impacted. An understanding of the battle explains why large-scale cavalry charges would not be attempted on the Western front again. Contains 44 illustrations.1 vol, 272 pgs

Shows what happened at Givenchy when it became a battlefield, and the story here was repeated in the other villages and towns on the Western Front. Givenchy's key position made it the target for crushing bombardments, infantry assaults, and subterranean warfare. Mining operations, shelling, sniping, and trench raids took place around the remains of the village, even when this stretch of the front line was relatively quiet. The grueling struggle of attrition that characterized the fighting on the Western Front continued here throughout the war. Makes extensive use of war diary extracts, personal stories, official and unofficial histories.1 vol, 256 pgs

Saunders, Tim HILL 112: The Key to Defeating Hitler in Normandy
Details how Hill 112 was a vital defensive ground for the Germans, but it was an essential steppingstone for the British en route to the River Orne. Details the tactical problem that Hill 112 presented -- it was impossible for armor to survive on its broad plateau, while the infantry could only hold the skeletal orchards and woods at the cost of crushing casualties. For six weeks from the end of June into August, when the Allied advances finally gained momentum, Hill 112 was far too important to let the opposition hold and exploit it. Consequently, it was regularly shelled and mortared, and shrouded with smoke and dust, while soldiers of both sides clung to their respective rims of the plateau. Contains 75 black and white illustrations and 30 black and white maps.1 vol, 328 pgs

An account of the Siege of Musa Qal'eh, Afghanistan, in 2006, told in the words of the men who fought there. Recounts how a small band of Royal Irish Regiment and other soldiers fought to hold a run-down, mud-brick compound against determined and well-armed Taliban insurgents who were intent on their destruction. Sets out the controversial background and the consequences of the UK's decision to shift its focus to Afghanistan while still heavily engaged in the US-led invasion of Iraq. Highlights the failures of intelligence and high-level political and military decision-making that resulted in the dispatch of a force that was too small and under-resourced for the tasks it faced.
