1-912129 Shemenkov, Sergey UKRAINIAN COSSACKS LATE 16TH - EARLY 18TH CENTURY: Organisation, clothing, equipment, armament The first detailed English-language study of Ukrainian Cossacks' attire, equipment, and tactics from the late 16th to early 18th century. Numerous historical sources, references, documents, pictorial sources, and descriptions left by eyewitnesses have been consulted. Archaeological finds from battlefields related to the Ukrainian Cossacks were also examined. Considers both the clothing and equipment of ordinary Cossacks and separately the clothing and military equipment of the officer corps -- Cossack petty officers and hetmans. Special attention is paid to banners and various accouterments. Discusses the variations between the Cossacks, the difference between the Registry and Sichev Cossacks, how they fought, and what tactics were used on the battlefield. Also considered are the separate formations of Ukrainian hetmans modeled on Western European armies and mercenary formations of the last quarter of the seventeenth to early eighteenth century - the Serdyuk and Kompanitsa. The book contains over 170 illustrations, iconographic sources, images of battles, archaeological artifacts, and various types of clothing and equipment. There are also color plates of reconstructions of banners, images of banners from the collection of the Swedish Army Museum, and 20 colored figures of Cossacks and representatives of Cossack elders.1 vol, 288 pgs 2025 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-905003 Hay, William REMINISCENCES 1808-1815 UNDER WELLINGTON: The Peninsular and Waterloo Memoirs of William Hay William Hay had a varied and exciting military career during the later years of the Napoleonic Wars, which took him to the Peninsula, to Waterloo, and, after 1815, to Canada. Graduating from the Royal Military College at Marlow, of which he begins his memoirs with a rare account, he was first commissioned into the crack 52nd Light Infantry and served with that regiment in the campaigns of 1810 and 1811. Promotion then took him into the 12th Light Dragoons and, after a spell at home due to illness, he joined his new regiment in the field just as Wellington's army began its retreat from Burgos. Thereafter, Hay served with the 12th for the remainder of the Peninsular War and again during the Waterloo campaign. Hay's recollections are very much those of a dashing young officer, but these are more than just tales of derring-do, for Hay's stories of the lighter side of military life do much to illuminate the character and attitudes of Britain's Napoleonic officer corps. Contains 18 black and white illustrations and 3 black and white maps.1 vol, 168 pgs 2025 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-249610 Conklin, Dennis CONFLICT AND CONTROVERSY IN THE CONFEDERATE HIGH COMMAND: Davis, Johnston, Hood and the Atlanta Campaign of 1864 Examines the dysfunctional relationships that plagued the Confederate high command, contributing to the defeat of the Army of Tennessee and the loss of Atlanta, a vital logistical rail hub. Offers a compelling and briskly paced exploration of command politics, human nature, and the pressures of war, illuminating how these forces shaped the outcome of one of the Civil War's most consequential campaigns. Highlights critical flaws in Jefferson Davis's leadership and the deep mutual distrust between the Confederate president and Joseph E. Johnston, commander of the Army of Tennessee, which led them to work at cross purposes. As the campaign slowly unfolded and William T. Sherman's advancing armies claimed vast swaths of territory, tensions escalated among Davis, Johnston, corps commander John Bell Hood, and Georgia Governor Joseph Brown, further compounding the Confederacy's strategic woes.

Seeks to explain how Field Service Regulations defined appropriate tactics for every Western Front battle under French and under Haig, and how it dictated the evolution of fighting units and support formations throughout the war.
