V - 2 Ballistic
Missile 1942 - 52 by Steven J Zaloga
The German A - 4 ballistic missile, better known by its propaganda
name of V-2, was the world's first successful ballistic missile, breaking
through the atmosphere to reach its target quicker. It was a
forerunner of Cold War ballistic missiles and its combat use in 1944-45
set the pattern for the use of Scud ballistic missiles in recent
decades. The V-2 offensive lasted from September 1944 until March
1945 with over 3,000 rockets being launched. This book will examine
the combat record of the V-2 in World War II, with a special focus on how
a German missile battalion actually prepared and fired its missiles.

The 25 - Pounder Field
Gun 1939-72 by Chris Henry and Mike Fuller
Of all the British guns in use during the Second World War, the
25-pounder was the one that best represented Britain's armed forces. It
was adaptable, packed a powerful punch and, above all, it was reliable.
This book provides a full combat history of a gun that was used in every
theatre of the Second World War and saw extensive service in the post-war
years, particularly in Korea and during the Malaysian emergency. The last
25 pounder gun to see action in the British Army was one used by SAS
troops at Mirbat, Oman, in 1972.

Rats, From Normandy to Berlin with the 7th Armoured Division by Patrick

Fallen Eagle: The
Last Days of the Third Reich by Robin Cross
After
more than four years of total war the armies of Europe were deeply weary.
The Allies were determined to end the war in Europe quickly and with as
little bloodshed as possible. But the German's, though they could see the
war was lost, were by no means prepared to yield. Indeed, the fighting
during 1945 was to be some of the bitterest of the war.
In
the East, Stalin's mighty war machine began its great offensive. Beginning
in swirling fog and snow, the Soviet steamroller crashed through the
German lines on the Vistula, 125 miles south of Warsaw. Soon Russian
armoured columns were driving across the Polish plain towards the Oder,
Germany's historic frontier with the East, creating panic in East Prussia.
In the West, Eisenhower and Montgomery joined the race to destroy the
heart of Nazi Germany and defend Europe against Stalin's vaulting
ambition. So began one of the most crucial years in the history of the world
which was to climax in the desperate battle for Berlin. The gripping story
of the final days of the Third Reich is told in graphic detail - the
unfolding drama revealed through the eyes of soldier and civilian,
private, general and refugee.
In
a sweeping panorama, which finds room for the individual human drama
within the broad sweep of battle, Robin Cross paints an unforgettable
picture of a world in chaos. By the end of 1945, Europe had new frontiers,
friends had become deadly enemies and an uneasy peace threatened to
transform Cold War into a thrid world war. This is the story of how the
Eagle was finally toppled from the roof of the Berlin chancellery and the
Russian bear stretched out its claws to seize a Europe laid waste.

The Miracle of
Dunkirk by Walter Lord
On 24th May 1940, Hitler's armies were on the brink of a shattering
military victory. Only 10 miles away, 400,000 Allied troops were pinned
against the coast at Dunkirk. But only eleven days later, by 4th June,
338,000 men had been successfully evacuated to England. How did it happen?
Walter Lord's remarkable account of how 'the miracle of Dunkirk'
came about is based on hundreds of interviews with survivors of all
nations that fought among the sand dunes of northern France.

The Struggle for
Europe by Chester Wilmot
This classic account of the allied victory in Europe in 1945 has
been called 'the best single volume history of the war'. The Daily
Telegraph described it as 'A classic of contemporary history. It is
impossible to praise Mr Wilmot's achievement too highly'. Michael Howard
says in his introduction that 'the result of Wilmot's labours was a book
which deserves to rank as highly as a journalistic scoop as it does as a
work of history.' Certainly the pacey readability has the flavour of
contemporary journalism as he describes the build up to the invasion of
Europe, the scenes at the beach-head and in the bocage of Normandy, as
well as the disputes among the Allies, the Anglo-American differences over
Grand Strategy and, above all, the friction between Hitler and his
generals which culminated in the plot of July 20th 1944, and the final
crushing pincer movements of the Russians and the Anglo-American forces
which brought victory in Europe.

Most Secret War by
R.V. Jones
Most Secret War is R.V. Jones' account of his part in British
Scientific Intelligence between 1939 and 1949. It was his responsibility
to anticipate German applications of science to warfare, so that their new
weapons could be countered before they were used. Much of his work had to
do with radio navigation, as in the Battle of the Beams, with radar, as in
the Allied Bomber Offensive and in the preparations for D-Day and in the
war at sea.
He was also in charge of intelligence against the V-1 (flying bomb)
and the V-2 (rocket) retaliation weapons and, although the Germans were
some distance from success, against their nuclear developments.

from the incomparable files of the Wiener Library in London, The Firestone

Hitler by John
Toland
Adolf Hitler was, without a doubt, the most influential individual
of the twentieth century. Even more than Lenin, Stalin or Mao Tse Tung,
his actions shaped the modern world, and his fearful legacy still
influences the world in which we live.
John Toland's masterly biography of Europe's last warlord draws on
extensive research involving a number of previously unknown or unavailable
sources, and includes over 150 taped interviews with people directly
involved in Hitler's private and public life. It traces his rise to power,
his astonishing military bravado, his early successes in Western Europe
through to the disastrous defeats in Russia, Africa and France, and his
final downfall in April 1945.

Winston Churchill
by Henry Pelling
Winston Spencer Churchill was the most extraordinary combination of
soldier and statesman. Of aristocratic birth, he enlisted as a cavalry
officer, saw action at the Battle of Omdurman and , as a civilian,
reported the Boer War for the Manchester Guardian. Captured by the Boers,
he escaped dramatically, and the popular appeal of his exploits helped him
to gain a Parliamentary seat.
At the outset of the First World War he became First Lord of the
Admiralty and acted as the brilliant initiator of the Antwerp and
Gallipoli campaings. These failed to bear fruit and he became a Colonel in
the front line on the Western Front. At the end of the war, his political
career followed a chequered path until he received the call to become
Prime Minister in May 1940. In this role he proved to be the saviour of
his country.

Slim the
Standardbearer by Ronald Lewin
Field Marshal the Viscount Slim (1891-1970) was blessed with none of
the advantages of wealth and social position that eased the progress of
many army officers. With no armoury apart form his integrity, his
personality and his intellect, he rose to the pinnacle of his profession
as one of the finest fighting generals of World War II on either side.
Ronald Lewin's prizewinning biography charts Bill Slim's life from
humble beginnings through World War I, the inter-war years in India to his
leadership of the 14th Army in Burma. Here, from 1943-45, he led the
defeated 'Forgotten Army' to victory, recapturing Burma in a series of
brilliant campaings - second Arakan, Imphal, Kohima and Mandalay. Beloved
by his troops, even the gallant but unruly Australians, with whom he had
an uncanny understanding, he served as CIGS, as an ever popular
Governor-General of Australia, and as Governor and Constable of Windsor
Castle.

was called upon to perform had, by the end of the war, taken up its
position on the 'right of the line', the vanguard and position of honour.

The Last Battle by
Cornelius Ryan
At 0400 on 16th April 1945, the Soviet Army launched its attack on
Berlin, the last stronghold of Hitler's Germany. The Berliners waited in
the bombed rubble of their city, caring only to survive in the nightmare
world around them. Although the Western Allies had declared that Berlin
was no longer a military objective and halted 45 miles from the city, the
Russian veterans of Stalingrad swept on.
The Last Battle is a masterly account of three weeks of death throes
of the Third Reich. It follows the fortunes of ordinary men and women,
soldiers and civilians, victors and vanquished as Berlin was gutted, its
women raped and its people terrorised by an invader driven on by a
ruthless vengeance.
