Updated and revised, with all new images throughout, this concise study examines the Franco-Prussian war, a significant conflict which led to the collapse of the Second Empire and the creation of a unified Germany.

With the help of bird's-eye views, this book describes one of World War II's most audacious operations. Market Garden was Montgomery's plan to end the war by the end of 1944, a plan that was to end in disaster.

Osprey's Campaign title for the Normandy campaign of World War II (1939-1945). D-Day, 6 June 1944, saw the largest amphibious landing operation in history. From ports and harbours on the southern coast of England, an armada of troopships and landing craft launched the Allied return to mainland Europe. Stephen Badsey provides a concise account of the Normandy campaign, from the fiercely contested landings, to the struggle to capture Caen, the 'Cobra' offensive and the dramatic pursuit of the Germans to the River Seine. This was the crucial campaign of the Western theatre: after the Battle of Normandy the only question was how soon the war would end, not who would win it.

This publication considers the lessons to be gained for Britain, the British armed forces, and for NATO as a whole, from the Yugoslav wars of dissolution (1991-1999), with particular emphasis on the Kosovo crisis. The papers come from a diverse and high quality mixture of analysts, practitioners and policy-makers. The issues developed here represent a significant advance in the emerging debate on the lessons to be learnt from the Balkan experience, which will shape thinking on defence and international security far into the new millennium.

Focusing on British military doctrine during the First World War and the Boer War, this book explores a critical debate regarding the role and tactics of cavalry amid evolving warfare demands. It challenges contemporary perceptions by demonstrating that the developed doctrine effectively addressed the challenges posed by increased firepower and mass armies. Through this investigation, the book fills a significant gap in the historiography of military thought and practice during this pivotal period.

This book uses the scandal of the 'German Corpse Factory' as a case-study to explore the true nature of British official propaganda and its organisations in the First World War.

V den D 6. června 1944 byla zahájena největší obojživelná operace v dějinách vojenství. Z přístavů a zátok na jižním pobřeží Anglie vyplula mohutná armáda výsadkových plavidel a vyloďovacích člunů, vracející spojenecká vojska zpátky na evropský kontinent. Stephen Badsey nabízí stručný přehled průběhu operace Overlord – od zuřivých bojů na pobřeží přes bitvu o klíčové město Caen a průlomovou operaci Cobra až po dramatické pronásledování německých vojsk, ustupujících k řece Seině.
