In this Volume Three, the reader will discover the situation of the Maginot Line in September 1939, the means deployed during the "Phoney War" to complete the fortifications, and the complete directory, sector by sector, of all the fortifications in the North and East (entirely unpublished and very useful to today's enthusiasts and visitors wishing to locate surviving remnants of the Maginot Line). The work concludes with a detailed account of the six-week campaign as it was experienced on the Maginot Line. A fantastic page of history illustrated in abundance with 800 documents.

The Soviets at War. 1939–1949

L20250138
€26.07
Over ten years, between 1939 and 1949, the USSR moved from isolated nation to superpower on equal footing with the United States. For its leaders, the Second World War was marked by a spirit of sacrifice and heroism. For the people, this period meant great catastrophes: the Shoah, the famine of 1946–1947, and civil war in Ukraine and the Baltic states....

L20220371
€26.54
A fresh perspective on the Wehrmacht at its twilight. Jean-Luc Leleu sets out to explore the overall functioning of the Wehrmacht as it faced the spectre of defeat. The aim is to understand the actors rather than recount the events. To do so, the German armed forces are examined through the lens of the Battle of Normandy in the summer of 1944: a...

In that year of 1709, the kingdom of France stood on the edge of the abyss.

On the occasion of its 70th anniversary, the Patrouille de France pauses for a brief moment in flight.

MARINE CORPS TANK MARKINGS IN THE PACIFIC

L20240193
€40.71
The markings applied to Marine Corps tanks in the Pacific are a source of great interest for armour enthusiasts, and especially for scale modellers, who find in them an almost endless diversity and originality. However, apart from a few scattered references in books covering broader subjects, there are no specialist works in English on the topic. This...

€37.87
In the context of the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, this work examines the fighting from its aerial dimension, an aspect rarely considered in existing works. It is often forgotten that Dien Bien Phu was also a battle in the air, conceived in light of the lessons drawn from the victory at Na San a year earlier and the commitments made to...

History of the Ninjas - Henchmen and Spies in Samurai Japan

L20240209
€19.81
Ninjas – or shinobi – were men of the shadows. Before invading our literary and cinematic imagination, they lived in the age of warlords, in feudal Japan of the 16th century. One should not picture them dressed entirely in black, masked and perched on a rooftop, but rather dressed like country folk, blending into the crowd, undetectable. Their discretion...

The Wars of Afghanistan

L20250112

Afghanistan: the epicentre of wars for two centuries. The history of Afghanistan is above all a military history — the history of a country perpetually embroiled in conflict due to foreign invasions or power struggles. It is the history of a nation that fought to assert its independence in the face of expansionist powers. Its unity and the power of its...
