1-248330 Gimenez, J J Herrero THE ROMAN OCCUPATION OF IBERIA: The Battles for Hispania, The Jewel in Rome's Crown Hispania, the Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula and its provinces, shaped Rome through its leaders, wars, commerce, and enduring cultural and architectural legacy. Looks at some of the various figures that were born and fought there. Iberia became a battleground between Rome and Carthage in the Second Punic War, followed by the endless bloody struggle against the Iberian and Celtic tribes that turned Hispania into a kind of Vietnam for the Romans. It was also the scene of bitter fighting during the Civil Wars that led to the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Empire, with the great battles between Julius Caesar and the sons of Pompey, as well as the final defeat of Quintus Sertorius who had held out in Spain for over a decade. Looks at how the legacy of the Hispano-Romans can still be felt today, not only through its language and culture, but also through a multitude of public works and an enormous amount of historical heritage.

1-248280 Chick, Sean Michael THE SHILOH CAMPAIGN, 1862: Battle for the Heartland Illustrated with photographs, paintings and maps, this is a full account of the first large set-piece battle of the war, the only time a large Union army was taken by surprise. After taking Forts Henry and Donelson, the Union army prepared to try and take the vital rail hub of Corinth, Mississippi. To facilitate this, Major General H. Halleck planned to combine Grant's Army of West Tennessee with Buell's Army of the Ohio. Meanwhile the newly formed Confederate Army of the Mississippi was placed under the command of General A. S. Johnston, who planned to attack Grant's encampment before Grant and Buell could combine their commands. On the morning of April 6, 1862, Johnston attacked at Shiloh, taking Grant's forces by surprise. Contains 100+ photographs, artworks, and maps.1 vol, 128 pgs 2025 US, CASEMATE

1-248290 Mackowski, Chris THE VICKSBURG CAMPAIGN, 1863: Volume 1 - Grant's Failed Offensives Detailed account of the Vicksburg Campaign, supplemented with photos and maps. The 14-month campaign to regain the control of Mississippi River by capturing Vicksburg, Mississippi, stands as the prime example of how the Civil War would be fought and won. Details how Grant utilized David Dixon Porter and his Mississippi Squadron of ironclad gunboats and fleet of vessels. A lack of experience in commanding such an important assignment, limited resources, poor staffing, and a Confederate government consumed with the war in the east ensured Pemberton's position would be insurmountable as the Confederacy's tenuous hold on the Mississippi River began to fall apart.
