I recomend it.             A Voyage in the 'Sunbeam' Annie Allnut Brassey BiblioLife, 2008             Brassey's Book of Naval Blunders (Military Blunders) Geoffrey Regan Potomac Books Inc., 2000 -Fascinating surveys of disastrous decisions in naval and military warfare history -Both entertaining and informative, here is a look at a history that has been marked as much by incompetence as by gallantry and glory. From ancient times to the Bay of Pigs and the Falklands War, military history has been marked as much by misjudgments as by gallantry and glory. Such blunders have sometimes ended in tragedy. Sometimes, they turn into ...             Brassey's Air Combat Reader: Historic Feats and Aviation Legends (History of War)2 reviews Philip Handleman, Walter J. Boyne Potomac Books Inc., 2005 Good Storytelling...but trying too much? I ordered this book with some apprehension, because at first glance, it seemed to be trying to bite off more than it could chew- trying to capture the broad sweep of the entire history of air combat in one book, and that too, one devoted not so much to the technical aspects, but more of `storytelling'. Well, after reading it, I must say, my apprehensions were partly right. The chapters do make ...             Brassey's International Intelligence Yearbook: 2003 Edition Robert D'A. Henderson Potomac Books Inc., 2003 Brassey's International Intelligence Yearbook includes profiles of the intelligence communities in more than fifty countries, with more than half of the total being completely original to this 2003 edition. Robert Henderson presents extended and updated country studies of the United States, Russia, India, Taiwan, and Pakistan, among others. Shorter country briefings outline the intelligence apparatus of such countries as Afghanistan, Syria, ...             Brassey's Book of Military Blunders1 review Geoffrey Regan Potomac Books Inc., 2000 great book with a alot of information and explaning , it shows you the time period , what led to the blunder , and what happened because of the blunder enjoyable book             Brassey's D-Day Encyclopedia: The Normandy Invasion A-Z1 review Barrett Tillman Potomac Books Inc., 2005 One-stop Shopping How did this little gem go unreviewed for so long? If you want a "one stop shopping" place for Operation Overlord, this book is the choice. The organization, content, and execution are all excellent. My only suggestion would be more illustrations but that's a small complaint in a book that contains a tremendous variety of subject matter and presents it in comprehensible, readable form. ...             Napoleonic Wars: Wellington's Army (Brassey's History of Uniforms)2 reviews Ian Fletcher Brassey's Inc, 2000 An above average addition to the uniform debate for Napoleonic wars Ian Fletcher is a renowned scholar of Napoleonic Wars history and in this volune published in the Brassey's series, attempts to outline the likely uniforms worn during the Napoleonic Wars by Wellington's army. He points out the problems right from the start - the lack of real pictorial evidence of what was worn, the fact that uniforms altered markedly, the documentary evidence available, ...             Brasseys Book of Camouflage5 reviews Tim Newark Brassey's UK, 2003 A general, noncomprehensive reference book. I had expected a more comprehensive look at camouflage patterns from around the world. The pictures tend to be high-quality, but small and poorly identified (especially in the most important section, the "catalog"). It also has inconsistent data. For example, it states that the six-color US desert pattern was tested in the 1980s, but later in the book it has the same pattern with the caption ...             Brassey's Book of Body Armor (Photographic Histories)1 review Robert C. Woosnam-Savage Potomac Books Inc., 2002 Not what I Expected I was hoping this book would be a photographic presentation of body armor throughout the ages. In this I was sorely disappointed. While the book is billed as part of a "photographic history" series, it is actually a light history with some color paintings of various types of armor in it. Unfortunately, the paintings are usually not very detailed (the medieval armor is nicely done, however) and, ...             SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR 1898 (Brassey's History of Uniforms)2 reviews Ron Field Brassey's UK, 1998 Definitive Study for its Period This book covers more than just uniforms, it covers all the items carried or worn by the individual soldiers in this disease-ridden war. Congratulations to the author and the illustrator. This is a valuable compendium, of a size larger than octavo so that the plates are clear, and well constructed. I have been researching the U.S. arms, uniforms, and accoutrements of this period for some ...             World War One: German Army (Brassey's History)3 reviews Stephen Bull Brassey's Inc, 2000 Very Useful and High Quality Compendium Collectors and Historians have long been fascinated with the seemingly endless variations of insignia, badges, and decorations and medals awarded to the members of both the civil and military personnel of the Germany of the Nazi era. These have been avidly collected since I was a child. But before that the emphasis was on the German Army of the Imperial period from 1870s to 1918. Though much of ...             Guderian: Panzer Pioneer or Myth Maker (Brassey's Military Profiles)3 reviews Russell Hart Potomac Books Inc., 2006 A Long Overdue Balanced Biography of Hitler's Panzer Leader! This very short but well balanced biography of Heinz Guderian is long overdue! Historian Russel Hart has succeeded admirably in his goal of presenting a balanced picture of Hitler's leading Panzer general. Hart proves convincingly that Guderian, willingly assisted by British historian Liddell Hart, succeeded in mythologizing his own contributions to Nazi Germany's panzer force and World War II ...             Lic 2010: Special Operations & Unconventional Warfare in the Next Century (Brassey's Future Warfare Series)1 review Rod Paschall Brassey's Inc, 1990 An excellent "Heads-Up" for Low Intensity Conflict & Law Enforcement Col. Paschall, USA (Ret.) has proven that his work in LIC 2010: Special Operations & Unconventional Warfare in the Next Century should be taken very seriously. Released in 1990, one half of the time frame has expired for the forecasts made in LIC 2010. Paschall has been pretty damn accurate. * "Although there is an ongoing reduction in the incidence of major mid-intensity conflicts, there is ...             Spanish-American War : The Story and Photographs (America at War (Brassey's)) Donald M. Goldstein, Katherine V. Dillon, ... Potomac Books, 2000 History comes to life as this photographic collection shows what the Spanish American War was really like. The authors have combined rare photographs and illustrations with authoritative text and maps to present a comprehensive documentary portrait of the momentous clash of arms. Here are the stories of the controversial and tragic sinking of the Maine, the stirring U.S. victories at Manila Bay and San Juan Hill; the bloody siege of Santiago, ...             Strategic Intelligence & Statecraft: Selected Essays (Brassey's Intelligence and National Security Library)2 reviews Adda B. Bozeman Brassey's Inc, 1992 Strategic, Cultural Intelligence, Knowledge Policy While reading this book, every intelligence professional should feel like a bashful second-grader shuffling their feet while being kindly reprimanded by their teacher. This book, a collection of essays from the 1980's, is the only one I have ever found that truly grasps the strategic long-term importance of intelligence in the context of culture and general knowledge. The heart of the book ...             The Story of London Richard Brassey Orion Children's Books (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2004 Its pages packed with comic pictures, wacky captions and a thread of narrative, Richard Brassey tells the story of London from Roman times to the present day, with lots of locations and lots of stories, characters and quirky details. His idiosyncratic approach, terrifically appealing to children, is a brilliant way to bring London's history to life. With surprisingly little competition on the market, this is a book that should sell year in ...              search for books american, aviation, blunders, brassey, brasseys, camouflage, encyclopedia, guderian, historic, histories, intelligence, international, invasion, military, napoleonic, national, normandy, operations, photographic, photographs, profiles, security, selected, spanish-american, statecraft, strategic, unconventional, uniforms, wellington, yearbook books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
