History of the War, Weapons and Tactics, The Warring Nations, Biographies, Sources, Miscellanea, and Glossary. Chronology. Philip J. Haythornthwaite FRHistS (born 1951) is an internationally respected and prolific author and historical consultant specializing in the military history, uniforms and equipment. Whilst his main area of research is the Napoleonic Wars, his impressive list of publications covers a much wider range of periods from the English Civil War until WWI. Since 1973 Haythornthwaite has had over 80 books published, plus numerous articles and papers on military history. Much of this output through the publishers Orion Books and Osprey Publishing and Haythornthwaite’s writing has, beyond doubt, helped keep alive a general interest in history. Moreover, his seminal works The Armies of Wellington and Redcoats, The British Soldiers of the Napoleonic Wars as well as Picton’s Division at Waterloo are clearly scholarly works of research that show the author to be the equal of more formally credentialed historians. Also notable is the fact that Haythornthwaite has prepared new editions of several well-known Peninsular War memoirs : Life in Napoleon’s Army: the Memoirs of Captain Elzear Blaze In the Peninsula with a French Hussar: Memoirs of the War of the French in Spain. Haythornthwaite is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a Member of the British Commission for Military History. More

Paul Michael Kennedy CBE FBA (born 17 June 1945) is a British historian specializing in the history of international relations, economic power and grand strategy. He has published prominent books on the history of British foreign policy and Great Power struggles. He emphasizes the changing economic power base that undergirds military and naval strength, noting how declining economic power leads to reduced military and diplomatic weight. His most famous book, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, assesses the interaction between economics and strategy over the past five centuries. The book was very well received by fellow historians, with A. J. P. Taylor labeling it "an encyclopedia in itself" and Sir Michael Howard crediting it as "a deeply humane book in the very best sense of the word." It has been translated into 23 languages. The author suggests a new and unique look at how World War II was won, in this fascinating nuts-and-bolts account of the strategic factors that led to Allied victory. Without the forgotten scientists, technicians, and logisticians who gave the allies the tactical edge, the Allies could not have achieved victory. More
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada: J.J. Fedorowicz Publishing, 1989. Presumed First English Language Edition, First printing. Hardcover. ix, [1], 261, [1] pages. Oversized book, measuring 12 inches by 9-1/4 inches. Profusely illustrated with black and white illustrations and maps. Includes Translator's Notes, Appendix A--The German Panzerlied; Appendix B--Specifications--The Panzer VI Tiger I and II; Appendic C--Specifications--The Tank Destroyers Elefant and Jagdtiger; Appendix D--The Knight's Cross Holder of the German Tiger Arm; Appendix E--German Terms and Abbreviations; Bibliography, Photo Contributors. The material which forms the basis of this history of the battles and the final downfall of the legendary Tiger tank has been accumulated by the authors piece by piece since the end of the Second World War. The war diaries of several battalions were available, as well as individual diaries, letters, and evaluations. This is a classic on the Tiger I and Tiger II formations of the German Army and Waffen-SS. Even though the English-language edition of "Tiger, The History of a Legendary Weapon" is over 30 years old, it is still one of the best books written on the most feared tank of the Second World War. It is full of firsthand accounts that cannot be found anywhere else. The book covers the development history of the Tiger and continues with its introduction to battle near Leningrad. All the Army and Waffen-SS Tiger formations and the major battles they fought in are covered, from sPz.Abt. 501 in North Africa, through the struggles on the Eastern Front, to the fighting in the West, in Italy and in Hungary and ending with the final battles in Germany. Also included are unit histories of the Jagdtiger and Sturmtiger formations. More
