Details how German Naval Group West operated and fought during the WWII Atlantic surface war. Reassesses the qualities of the fleet and how the confusion over their original role meant that ships like the Bismarck were less than ideal for raiding. Explains the complex Kriegsmarine command structure during the 1930s and early war; how responsibility for the ships veered between Naval Group West, the Naval Staff, and ship type commanders; and how the conquest of France transformed the command.

Konstam, Angus 338 SUPER-BATTLESHIPS OF WORLD WAR I: The Lost Battleships of the Washington Treaty
Studies and compares the battleships being designed between 1918 and 1922, which drew on the lessons of World War I. Britain was designing four G3-class 15-inch gun battlecruisers, plus four N3 'hyper-dreadnoughts,' mounting colossal 18-inch guns. The US Navy was planning six new South Dakota battleships, carrying an incredible twelve 16-inch guns, plus six Lexington-class battlecruisers. Japan was working on a similar project, and in 1920 the first of four Amagi-class battlecruisers were laid down. These battleships and battlecruisers were mostly canceled and scrapped, due to the Washington Naval Treaty, with a few, such as Lexington and Akagi, converted into aircraft carriers. Includes new color reconstructions of the G3, H3, South Dakota, Lexington, and Amagi classes. Illustrated throughout with 40 photos and 8 pages of color illustrations.1 vol, 48 pgs

Details how it was originally made by Napoleon III for the Confederacy, but then sold to Denmark and then smuggled to Prussia. The Stonewall reached Cuba in May 1865, too late to change the Civil War, before being sold to the Queen of Spain, and a handover to a newly reunited America. Further discusses the Stonewall's service to the Japanese that would set them on a path of modernization, industrialization, and expansion that would end in World War II.1 vol, 571 pgs

Menking, Christopher QUARTERMASTERS OF CONQUEST: The Mexican-American War and the Making of South Texas, 1846-1860
Explores the Quartermaster Department's critical but generally unappreciated functions -- its wartime support of three separate armies in the field and its long-term, consequential operations in the decade after the war. Describes how the Army imported Anglo labor to the area north of the Rio Grande. Suggests that this, along with river transportation and supply contractors, ultimately altered the demographics of the region and contributed to the growth of new Texas towns and cities. Combines analysis of wartime logistics with insight into the divergent military and social histories of the lower Rio Grande borderland to demonstrate the lasting influence of the Quartermaster Department on South Texas during the mid-nineteenth century -- and the wartime roots of Anglos' political dominance despite being an ethnic minority in the region. Contains three black and white illustrations, five maps, and two tables.1 vol, 222 pgs

Moody, Wesley HERO OF FORT SUMTER: The Extraordinary Life of Robert Anderson
Details the life of Robert Anderson, the commander of the US garrison at Fort Sumter in 1861. Although his leadership and his courage under fire catapulted him into national recognition, the attack on Fort Sumter was just one chapter in Anderson's story. Analyzes his early life, including how his ancestors were William Clark (of Lewis and Clark fame) and Chief Justice John Marshall, and that his father crossed the Delaware with George Washington. Goes on to discuss how his upbringing on the Kentucky frontier to a West Point education and a military career saw him fighting in nearly every American conflict from the Black Hawk War to the Civil War-catching malaria fighting the Seminoles, taking several bullets while serving in Mexico, writing the textbook for field artillery used by both Union and Confederate forces, and mentoring William Tecumseh Sherman.

Miranda, Joseph WORLD AT WAR #102 Invasion Australia 1942
Invasion Australia 1942 is an operational level two player wargame covering a hypothetical Japanese invasion of Australia in 1942. There was a debate between the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) over the course of the war. The IJN wanted to invade Australia, although the IJA opposed such an invasion on the grounds of lack of troops and shipping. In the end, the Japanese decided to launch an invasion of the Solomons with the possibility of moving against New Caledonia. The game assumes that the Japanese won the Battle of the Coral Sea (in May 1942) and captured Port Moresby in New Guinea, turning it into a base to cover the actual invasion of Australia which commenced in July of that year.
The central game system is Logistics Points (ATP) which represent sea lift capacity (for the Japanese) and ground communications (for the Allies) given the distances from the main Allied bases in southern Australia and the actual theater of operations in northern Australia.
Each hex represents 62 miles (100 kilometers) and each turn from one to three weeks. Ground units are regiments, brigades, and logistical installations. Aircraft units represent from two to six squadrons. Naval operations are handled abstractly. Comes with 22 x 34-inch map, one counter sheet of 176 5/8-inch counters, and magazine.1 vol, 62 pgs

Wettemann, Robert RHINO TANKS AND STICKY BOMBS: GI Ingenuity in World War II
Coming of age during the Great Depression, the American boys who fought in World War II had, through necessity, developed a unique brand of technological resourcefulness. This proficiency provided GIs with another weapon in a distinctly American way of war. Claims that this mentality was critical to America's success, giving servicemen the know-how and can-do spirit to creatively engineer solutions to wartime problems. Describes how the tinkerer's mentality promoted a technical aptitude and willingness to adapt, unmatched by other armies fielded during World War II. At the same time, the US command structure demonstrated a willingness to evaluate, accept, and employ such efforts to improve both fighting capacity and the general comfort of US servicemen.

Examines the standoff between East and West in Korea that ultimately defined the second half of the 20th century. Analyzes of the lack of preparation by the West for war, the results of the North Korean invasion in June 1950, the counter-stroke by MacArthur in September and then the strategic overreach which led to communist China's involvement on the North Korean side, and the rapid escalation to consideration of the use of nuclear weapons. Details the chaos of political decision-making at the war's outset and as it progressed. Also considers the effect of the fighting on civilians. While the war was a proxy one between East and West, the people of Korea suffered immensely, with approximately 3 million war fatalities and a larger proportional civilian death toll than World War II.

House, Jonathan A MILITARY HISTORY OF THE NEW WORLD DISORDER: 1989-2022
The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 freed the world of the political and military perils and imperatives of the Cold War, but it also introduced a whole new constellation of risks and challenges. Focuses largely but not exclusively on the US to survey subsequent developments in military strategy and operations-the processes by which politicians and military leaders of the major powers designed, organized, resourced, and then employed military forces to conduct or deter conflicts. Overview ranges from conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan to American interventions in Panama, Somalia, former Yugoslavia, and Haiti; Israel vs. Hezbollah in Lebanon; and the resurgence of the Russian military in Syria, Georgia, and Ukraine. Provides analysis of recent military developments, including the strengths and weaknesses of employing precision-guided munitions, counterinsurgency techniques, and other controversial methods of current warfare. Reveals the complex relationship between national political decisions to commit armed forces to conflicts and the results on the battlefield, and offers a timely perspective on military power and practice in the current day.
