All countries maintain elite troops of some form and the Imperial Guard formed Napoleon’s elite troops, directly winning many battles and, at Waterloo, marking his defeat when they were forced back by the British.

From a leading aviation author, an excellent account of the contribution made by the iconic DC-3/Dakota/C-47 to the success of D-Day. This versatile transport aircraft was one of a handful of truly iconic aircraft to serve in WWII – Most Highly Recommended
An impressively comprehensive account of a subject which is a lesser known part of the history of the Roman Church for many readers. The colourful Vatican’s Swiss Guards may be a familiar part of the impression left with visitors to Rome but the history behind them and their duties beyond the ceremonial is a fascinating story – Very Highly Recommended
The author, a former Essex police officer, has written a nicely researched account of two Essex towns in the Great War. Fifty years on from the Great War and Barking & Dagenham would have been regarded by many as part of the London industrial sprawl and Ford Motor Co in the UK. One hundred years on and the contraction of Ford, and other factors, has created a different place, but at the time of the Great War it was a markedly different place – Very Highly Recommended
The author, a former soldier, is a member of the Guild of Battlefield Guides and this work is the result of decades of research. Each VC award for the period and battlefield has been meticulously researched, set within the strategic and tactical context and well illustrated – Most Highly Recommended
The Liberty Ship was one of a handful of war winning developments. This class of ship is often thought of as American but the author sets out her provenance – Very Highly Recommended
The FlightCraft series has proved extremely popular with model makers and engineers, but is attracting a growing readership because it covers subjects in visual detail not usually available. This series addition is described as ‘Special’ rather than carrying a series number. It is special tribute to the Golden Years 1945-1975 – Very Highly Recommended
