Tang

The Fall of the Tang

Gao Pian's Trials of Allegiance

Men-at-Arms

This fully illustrated study assesses the armies of Poland at war in the first half of the 16th century, during the transition from feudal to standing forces. Against a background of almost continual warfare, the 80 years after 1492 witnessed the slow transformation of Polish forces from feudal levies to standing armies. The bloody struggle between Poles, Lithuanians, Hungarians, Muscovites, Cossacks, Turks and Tatars culminated in the Union of Lublin in 1569, uniting the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This crucial period in Polish military history saw the introduction and development of famous troop categories such as the Polish hussars, and a tactical transformation with the introduction of foot and mounted hand-gunners to replace crossbowmen. Drawing upon a wealth of sources, the author explains the social and ethnic composition of armies and their methods of recruitment; their organizational structure, and that of units of different troop categories; their weapons, armour and equipment; their strategies and tactics; and campaign life. In this engaging book, specially commissioned artwork and rare illustrations combine with authoritative text to bring this under-researched subject to life for an English-language audience.

Renaissance Polish Armies 1492–1569

Philosophy of the History of Philosophy

Set in thirteenth-century Bruges, this debut novel follows a spirited young woman’s explorations of faith, agency, and love among a community of fiercely independent women. Aleys is sixteen years old and unusual: stubborn, bright, and prone to religious visions. She and her only friend, a young scholar, have been learning Latin together in secret—but just as she thinks their connection might become something more, everything unravels. When her father promises her in marriage to a merchant she doesn’t love, she runs away from home, finding shelter within a community of religious women who refuse to answer to the Church. Among the hardworking and strong-willed beguines, Aleys glimpses for the first time the joys of belonging: a life of song, meaning, and friendship in the markets and along the canals of Bruges. But forces both mystical and political are afoot. Illegal translations of scripture, the women’s independence, and a sudden rash of miracles all draw the attention of an ambitious bishop—and bring Aleys and those around her into ever-increasing danger, a danger that will push Aleys to a new understanding of love and sacrifice. Grounded in the little-told stories of medieval women—mystics, saints, anchoresses, and beguines—and introducing a major new talent, Canticle is a luminous work of historical fiction, vividly evoking a world on the verge of transformation.

The Price of Collapse

At the end of 1940, Britain was under siege. Poland, Belgium, Holland, Norway and France had already fallen to Nazi rule, and the British army had been destroyed at Dunkirk. In the rubble of the Allies' crumbled defence, Churchill's Invairlort House was established as a new symbol of defiance - and then hope - against Nazi rule. As the war rumbled on, this austere building became an academy for the brightest and best of all Allied volunteers, where they were transformed from ordinary foot soldiers into a new breed of warrior - the commando. The list of instructors, advisors, and trainees that passed through it included some of the greatest fighting men of World War II: William Fairbairn, Eric Sykes, Brigadier "Mad Mike" Culvert, Lord Lovat, David and Bill Stirling - who would go on to form the SAS - and Alick Cowieson among them. Churchill's Killing House tells for the first time the remarkable human story of a new type of soldier and warfare that was borne out of one of the deadliest conflicts in human history.

Precision Warfare Comes of Age

Iraq 2003

The self-evident truths of 1776 hover over America's divisions-as inspiring ideals, as measures of how far the nation still must come, as the hypocrisy of slaveholders, as intrusions on local traditions. The revolutionary politics of 1776 turned from securing the rights of Englishmen to establishing the authority of an independent nation. The battlefields of 1776 cast the military mould for the war years to come and gave an enduring symbol of gritty determination. Drawing together the eloquence of Jefferson and the insistence of Paine, the strategies of generals and the audacious tactics of armies on the move and the powerful political movement that transformed colonies into states, this history of 1776 is a leading scholar's distillation of the pivotal events that must be reckoned with two hundred and fifty years after the nation's birth.
