1-230540 Abdale, Jason FOUR DAYS IN SEPTEMBER: The Battle of Teutoberg Hardback edition. Examines the ancient sources and challenges the hypotheses of modern scholars to present the September 9 AD battle and its aftermath. Three Roman legions, while marching to suppress a distant tribal rebellion, were attacked in a four-day battle with the Germanic barbarians. The Romans, under the leadership of the province's governor, Publius Quinctilius Varus, were taken completely by surprise, betrayed by a member of their own ranks: the German officer and secret rebel leader, Arminius. The defeat was a heavy blow to both Rome's military and its pride. Though the disaster was ruthlessly avenged soon afterwards, later attempts at conquering the Germans were half-hearted at best.1 vol, 272 pgs 2022 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-230530 Dillon, Matthew RELIGION & CLASSICAL WARFARE: The Roman Empire Religion was integral to the conduct of war in the ancient world and the Romans were certainly no exception. No campaign was undertaken and no battle risked without first making sacrifice to propitiate the appropriate gods or consult oracles and omens to divine their plans. Yet the link between war and religion is an area that has been regularly overlooked by modern scholars examining the conflicts of these times. This volume draws together the work of scholars and experts to present a coherent, comprehensive study of the role of religion in the wars of the Roman Empire.

Aspects considered in depth include: the Imperial cults and legionary loyalty; the army and religious/regional disputes; Trajan and religion; Constantine and Christianity; omens and portents; funerary cults and practices; the cult of Mithras; the Imperial sacramentum; religion & Imperial military medicine.1 vol, 384 pgs 2022 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-230500 Kambouris, Manousos THE RISE OF PERSIA AND THE FIRST GRECO-PERSIAN WARS: The Expansion of the Achaemenid Empire and the Battle of Marathon Examines the first Greco-Persian War and the Persian invasion of Greece. Describes the invasion in great detail, analyses the Persian king's immense (even if occasionally exaggerated) army, and considers its composition and logistical constraints, the discusses the campaign leading to Marathon and the decisive battle itself. Includes 28 color maps.

Provides the Persian perspective and sets the war in the context of the rise of Achaemenid Persia as the superpower of the day and the expansion of their empire into Europe. Starts with the earlier Persian campaigns in Europe. The Ionian Revolt against Persian rule, by the Greeks of Asia Minor, was instrumental in provoking Darius I, the Persian King of Kings to order the invasion of Greece. Ostensibly this was to punish the Greeks, and more specifically the Athenians, for their support of the Revolt and to contain further insurgencies, but in truth he wished to achieve world dominance. 1 vol, 240 pgs 2022 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-230510 Pearson, Paul THE ROMAN EMPIRE IN CRISIS 248-260: When the Gods Abandoned Rome Covers the dozen years of turmoil that begins with Rome's millennium celebrations of 248 CE and ends with the capture of the emperor Valerian by the Persians in 260. It was a period of almost unremitting disaster for Rome, involving a series of civil wars, several major invasions by Goths and Persians, economic crises, and an empire-wide pandemic (plague of Cyprian). A central theme of the book is that this period of moral and spiritual crises diminished the prestige of the traditional state religion, paving the way for the eventual triumph of Christianity.

The sensational recent discovery of extensive fragments of the lost Scythica of Dexippus manuscript sheds new light on the Gothic Wars of the period. The author has used this new evidence in combination with in-depth investigations in the field to develop a revised account of events surrounding the great Battle of Abritus where the army of the emperor Decius was annihilated by Cniva's Goths. 1 vol, 336 pgs 2022 UK, PEN & SWORD

2-225610 Swanton, Justin ANCIENT BATTLE FORMATIONS Examines the main battle-winning formations of the Ancient world, determining their composition, function and efficacy. A careful study of the Greek and Latin of the sources sheds fresh light on how these formations were organized and worked, reevaluating many conventional notions and leading to some surprising conclusions.

An introductory chapter looks at the fundamental components of the principal battle formations of heavy and light infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariots, showing how they bolstered the individual's soldier's willingness to fight. The rest of the book focuses on massed infantry that reigned supreme in this era: the heavily armored Greek hoplite phalanx that was immune to the weaponry of its non-Greek opponents; the Macedonian pike phalanx that was unbeatable against frontal attacks so long as it kept order; the Roman triplex acies which, contrary to popular opinion, consisted of continuous lines in open order, with file spaces wide enough to allow embattled infantry to fall back after which those files closed up instantly against the enemy.1 vol, 320 pgs 2022 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-230560 Brondarbit, Alexander SOLDIER, REBEL, TRAITOR: John, Lord Wenlock and the Wars of the Roses Biography of John Wenlock, first Lord Wenlock, who was a leading diplomat, courtier, and soldier during the Wars of the Roses. Labeled the 'Prince of Turncoats' because of his frequent changes of allegiance, his remarkable career offers us a fascinating insight into one of the most turbulent periods in English medieval history. Wenlock is a major figure in his own right and records in vivid detail how this shrewd nobleman navigated his way through the brutal conflicts of his times.

Wenlock served in Henry V's military campaigns in France in the 1420s before moving on to a career in the royal households of Henry VI, Margaret of Anjou, and Edward IV. As a diplomat, he led multiple embassies to Burgundy and France and, in addition to the kings he served, he was closely connected with other notable figures of the age such as Richard Neville, earl of Warwick. But Wenlock's speciality was on the battlefield - he took part in many raids, skirmishes, sieges, and three major battles -- including the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471 where he lost his life.1 vol, 224 pgs 2022 UK, PEN & SWORD

Lasting nearly two centuries, these wars, fought to defend Chinese civilization against a brutal and unrelenting foe, pitted personal heroics against the inexorable Mongol war machine and involved every part of the Chinese state.

The great events of China's Mongol war are described and analyzed, detailing their immediate and later implications for Chinese history.

Setting the Mongol war in the wider context of China's ancient and almost perpetual conflict with the northern nomads, it sheds light on the evolution of China's military society and the management, command and control of the army by the Chinese state.1 vol, 272 pgs 2022 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

1-230550 Falkner, James PRINCE EUGENE OF SAVOY: A Genius for War Against Louis XIV and the Ottoman Empire Biography of Prince Eugene of Savoy-Carignan (1663-1736), French born of an Italian mother, who was destined for the church but fled France as a young man and chose the life of a soldier. He entered the service of the Habsburg Emperor Leopold I in 1683 and rose rapidly to become one of the greatest military commanders of the age, playing a leading role in the wars against both the Ottoman Turks and the French. Reconstructs his military campaigns in compelling detail and also describes his career as a politician, statesman, and a great patron of the arts.

Eugene first showed his military genius during the siege of Vienna in 1683 where the Ottoman Turkish threat to western Europe was thrown back, and he commanded the Imperial army at the resounding victory over the Ottomans at Zenta in 1697. Most famously for English readers, he joined John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough in the victory over the French at Blenheim in 1704 and served alongside him at the subsequent victories at Oudenarde and Malplaquet. His later triumph, again over the Ottomans, at the capture of Belgrade in 1717, sealed his reputation as a great captain.1 vol, 232 pgs 2022 UK, PEN & SWORD

For two years, the Navy fought battles against the Red Navy and weather in the Baltic Sea, and against White Russian and German Freicorps troops -- each intent on a Baltic land grab.
