The birth of the railway in the early 1830’s revolutionized the way the world waged war. From armored engines with swiveling guns, to the practice of track sabotage, to the construction of tracks that crossed frozen Siberian lakes, the “iron road” facilitated conflict on a scale that was previously unimaginable. It not only made armies more mobile, but widened fighting fronts and increased the power and scale of available weaponry; a deadly combination.
In Engines of War, Christian Wolmar examines all the engagements in which the railway played a part: the Crimean War; the American Civil War; both world wars; the Korean War; and the Cold War, with its mysterious missile trains; and illustrates how the railway became a deadly weapon exploited by governments across the world.

In 1957 a book was released in a very small printing (perhaps as few as 25 books) which had been commissioned by the Detroit Arsenal of the United States Army Ordnance Corps. It was an exhaustive collection of small arms mounts from WW1 to 1957, including an incredible array of experimental mounts, many of which led to the adopted version many of us collect today. Anyone who has had the rare privilege to see an original volume and browsed its 1157 pages has found it a jaw dropping experience. This is second edition printed 2007.

Full of fascinating details and anecdotes, this is an accessible introduction to one of the most important, tragic, and costly events in history
Charting the main military campaigns, this book examines the path to Allied victory and its impact on the countries involved. It explores such questions as Why did Hitler declare war on the U.S.? Why did the Allied powers out-produce the Axis powers? Who was the most effective leader? Should American and British strategy have been different? and Should the U.S. have dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? This engaging alternative to traditional textbooks includes discussion of the contemporary significance of the war.
