Few nations can boast a military history with the drama and depth of Britain's. This book offers an accessible, engaging daily introduction to that pageant for history buffs. With an entry for every day of the year, Armchair General brings British military history to life, telling stories of important British battles or sieges on their anniversaries. Covering all five continents and traveling from the Vikings to today, the book explores historical turning points like Passhendaele, Yorktown, and Waterloo, but also lesser known conflicts like the Sack of Lindisfarne or the more recent Battle of Musa Qala. For each one, Stuart Thresher offers a summary of the action alongside information about the battle's context and consequences, political and military alike. Armchair General is the perfect introduction to British military history.

For years, Chinese photographer Zhong Weixing has been dedicated to shooting the very best portraits of international masters of photography. Through his lens he has captured the faces of many of the world's foremost contemporary photographers, including Sebastião Salgado, William Klein, Robert Frank, Bruno Barbey, Bernard Faucon, and many more. Jean-Luc Monterosso, former director of the world-renowned Maison Européenne de la Photographie, describes these works by Zhong Weixing as a "pantheon of photography masters," and the well-known photographer Bruno Barbey has praised them as representing a "Bible of photographic history." Taken together, the stunning portraits collected in Zhong Weixing: Face to Face pay homage to those who dedicate their lives to making photography a major art of our time. In partnership with Intron International Cultural Development, the Unicorn Chinese Artists series features leading Chinese contemporary artists whose works are not yet well known enough outside China.
