Hitler's protracted siege of Leningrad resulted in one of the most brutal campaigns on the Eastern Front during World War II. The German Army Group North was able to isolate the city and its garrison for a period of 900 days. This book examines the strength of the garrison's defenses, which ultimately prevented the Germans from capturing the city.

In late July 1941, Hitler ordered Army Group South to seize the Crimea. After weeks of heavy fighting, the Germans breached the Soviet defences and overran most of the Crimea. This volume examines the impact of logistics, weather and joint operational planning upon the last major German victory in World War II.

Describes the design and development of the two opponents, the Panther and the T-34, analysing their strengths and weaknesses and assessing their tactics, weaponry and training. This book gives an insight into the lives of the tank crews themselves who were caught up in the largest land conflict of World War II.

In late September 1941, the war in the east was approaching a climax. After inflicting a defeat on the Soviet armies at Kiev in early September, Hitler re-directed the victorious Wehrmacht armies toward Moscow. This title details the battle that took place right up to the suburbs of Moscow itself.

The first major clash between a European and Asian state in the modern era signalled the beginning of Japan's rise as a major power on the world stage. This title presents first-hand accounts and artwork to explain and illustrate this historically significant duel.

In August 1793 of the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802), Republican France teetered on the brink of collapse. On every front her enemies' armies swept forward across her borders - the very survival of the Revolution itself was at stake. In Toulon, the strategically vital home port of France's Mediterranean fleet, a coup had overthrown the Republican government and handed over the city to the blockading British navy. In this, perhaps her darkest hour, France's saviour was at hand in the shape of a Captain of Artillery whose name all Europe would soon know - Napoleon Bonaparte. This title describes the Republican victory at Toulon that not only saved the Revolution but also saw the young Napoleon Bonaparte begin his meteoric rise to power.
