1-246190 Smithurst, Peter THE EVOLUTION OF GUN MAKING: Machine Made Weapons, 1700-1820 Examines the transition from traditional hand-craft methods to the beginnings of standardised mechanized manufacture using as examples the French Model 1777 and the Russian Model 1808 infantry muskets. A variety of technologies are examined, explained, compared, and contrasted in extensive detail. Contains 236 mono illustrations.

The French Model 1777 musket contained many novel features which became blueprints for the arms of numerous countries and was copied in its entirety by Russia. These are the only period firearms whose manufacture is covered in contemporary accounts. The French 1777 musket was largely produced by hand-crafted methods, whereas in Russia we see the beginnings of extensive mechanization in the early 19th century.

An important aspect which appears is interchangeability - the ability to exchange identical parts of identical mechanism without special adjustment. This vital factor at the foundation of modern manufacturing first appears in early 18th century France, was pursued again in 1777, and later picked up in Russia.1 vol, 248 pgs 2024 UK, PEN & SWORD

All three survived the war, but were all badly maimed. Contains 16 mono illustrations.

Their close relationships with many senior officers of the period give a rare glimpse into the thinking of the generals and helps us understand how information was gathered and decisions were made.

Despite being outnumbered about 10 to 1, 33-year-old Brig. Gen. Randall Lee Gibson mounted a skillful and spirited defense that 'considerably astonished' his Union opponents. The siege and battle on the rough and uneven bluffs of Mobile Bay's eastern shore, fought mainly by veterans of the principal battles of the Western Theater, witnessed every offensive and defensive art known to war. The fort finally surrendered to Maj. Gen. Edward R. S. Canby on April 12, 1865. Contains 58 images and 6 maps.1 vol, 336 pgs 2024 US, SAVAS BEATIE

1-246210 Mackowski, Chris A TEMPEST OF IRON AND LEAD: Spotsylvania Court House, May 8-21, 1864 Comprehensive study of the campaign and especially the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House. The fighting launched a score of new place-names and events, such as Spindle Field, Upton's assault, the Mule Shoe, the Bloody Angle, and the Harris Farm. The casualties exacted at Spotsylvania exceeded those of the Wilderness by thousands. The fighting severely tested the offensive capabilities of Gen. Robert E. Lee's Southern army, just as the defensive posture his men embraced would, in turn, test the limits of Federal endurance.

Mackowski is a former historian at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park and continues to give battlefield tours as the historian-in-residence at Stevenson Ridge, a historic property on the battlefield's eastern front.

One of his first missions is dealing with a barrage of media questions following the brutal murder of six Royal Military Police by a crazed mob in Majar-al-Kabir. Later, he recalls the adrenalin-filled atmosphere when the British Army garrison at Basra Palace is surrounded by a crowd firing mortars and unleashing hundreds of rounds from their AK-47s. It's only after a tense stand-to that the nervous troops discover that they are not under attack: the crowd is celebrating the demise of Saddam Hussein's sons. Unconvinced of the merits of military action before arriving in theatre, Abbott ends his tour in a positive mindset despite the failure to locate WMD.1 vol, 256 pgs 2024 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-246240 Daly, James PROPOSED AIRBORNE ASSAULTS IN THE LIBERATION OF EUROPE: Cancelled Allied Plans from the Falaise Pocket to Operation Market Garden Examines canceled airborne operations -- Lucky Strike, Transfigure, Linnet, Comet, and Axehead -- conceived to cut off a German retreat from the Falaise-Argentan Pocket in August 1944 or set up a faster Allied advance across France. They were all canceled, usually because the Allied forces reached the intended dropping zones before the airborne forces could take off. In particular, several of these operations bear very strong resemblance to elements of the Market Garden plan and show early signs of the mistakes. Operation Comet, for example, included a glider coup-de-main for the bridges at Arnhem, Nijmegen, and Grave - why did this disappear for Market Garden?

These operations and their planning show that far from being an operation that went wrong in September 1944, the flaws in the Arnhem plan were evident much earlier. They also show that divisions between the Allies emerged much earlier and ran much deeper than originally thought. Contains 16 mono illustrations.1 vol, 248 pgs 2024 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

The valley had been a notorious hot spot throughout history, with the Russians unable to maintain a foothold in the 80s and Coalition forces now facing the same problem during Operation Enduring Freedom. Discusses how they inherited a bare bones outpost that they worked hard to turn into the defendable position known as COP Tynes, while patrolling the grape fields and orchards of the valley. The fact that Two Charlie had to patrol, act as a quick reaction force, and secure their outpost on their own ensured that they never stopped. The men were constantly brought to their breaking point as their numbers dwindled and the fighting intensified. Contains 50 photographs.1 vol, 288 pgs 2024 US, CASEMATE
