This is an interesting book, and these scenarios have probably been run in many officer training academies. This is the first time we the general public have been asked to think through those various scenarios. What it does make clear, it does not matter how good your men are, your equipment is, if you cannot keep them resupplied then everything is going to end painfully.
An excellent book that certainly gets you thinking and looking at the maps once again seeing the what ifs and trying to apply them. All I can say is thank God for Malta.

Weal's writing is always a pleasure to read and if you have any of his previous translated personal accounts such as Hanning's 'Luftwaffe Fighter Ace' then this is worthy and interesting book.

Hussey succeeds in providing readers with a fresh perspective on thinking about Waterloo and its impact on the course of European diplomacy for the remainder of the nineteenth century. His writing is clear, entertaining and enhanced with an abundance of maps, tables, and detailed endnotes. I highly recommend Waterloo, The Campaign of 1815 Volume I, from Elba to Ligny and Quatre Bras to experienced students of the Napoleonic Wars and to novices alike.

These fascinating images reveal life and death in Hitler's feared special forces unit during World War II.
The ruthless Brandenburgers were known for using captured uniforms and fluency in other languages to disguise themselves as enemy soldiers and carry out spy missions abroad.
One such soldier, Sepp de Giampietro, wrote a first-hand account which has now been translated in to English for the first time.

Letters from the Battle of Waterloo, by Gareth Glover is a superb read and I must agree with his assessment of this being a golden age of Waterloo studies academically speaking. This text is a fantastic journey back into the Napoleonic period and one of the most dramatic battles it produced. Pen and Sword continues to push the envelope of new publications which seemingly has brought back the period into historical conversation once again. It is quite stunning… This material is packed with the flavor of the times and covers the most key units of the action. The augmentation of the text with such great illustrations is key to developing a deeper understanding of the terrain in and around the battlefield. I especially enjoyed the mention of the 5th Division; Kempt’s Brigade and their engagements. These primary accounts serve to bring to life from the forgotten shelves of history the excitement and drama of the battlefield and the wily French deployments, movements and counter movements...

Swords and Swordsmen
This magnificent book tells the story of the evolution of swords, how they were made, how they were used, and the people that used them. It doesn't claim to give comprehensive coverage but instead takes certain surviving examples as landmarks on a fascinating journey through the history of swords. Each is selected because it can be linked to a specific… Read more...
