Warrior 02 Quarrie: Waffen-SS Soldier 1940-1945

Waffen-SS Soldier 1940-1945. Warrior 02 Bruce Quarrie Probably the most highly motivated and ruthless combatant to take the field in World War 2, the Waffen-SS soldier was the cutting edge of Germany's military might. Aggressive in attack, dogged in defence, his units generally suffered higher casualties than the regular army formations. The apple of the Führer's eye, he was the first to receive the best available equipment and was expected to produce results to match. From the green fields of France to the freezing steppes of Russia and finally to the shattered streets of Berlin this title details the development of the weapons, equipment and tactics of one of history's most formidable soldiers

Warrior 03 Harrison: Viking Hersir 793-1066 AD

Viking Hersir 793-1066 AD. Warrior 03 Harrison When Norwegian Vikings first raided the European coast in the 8th century AD, their leaders were from the middle ranks of warriors known as hersirs. At this time the hersir was typically an independent landowner or local chieftain with equipment superior to that of his followers. By the end of the 10th century, the independence of the hersir was gone, and he was now a regional servant of the Norwegian king. This book investigates these brutal, mobile warriors, and examines their tactics and psychology in war, dispelling the idea of the Viking raider as simply a killing machine.

Warrior 04 Pegler: US Cavalryman 1865-1890

US Cavalryman 1865-1890. Warrior 04 Martin Pegler The period 1865-90 was one of unparalleled change in American frontier history. This span of 25 years witnessed the end of the traditional nomadic lifestyle of the plains Indians, the colonisation of the West by white settlers, and the first experience of the US army in fighting a form of irregular warfare for which its soldiers and commanders were untrained, and its equipment unsuited.

Warrior 05 Harrison: Anglo-Saxon Thegn 449-1066 AD

This title gives an insight into the everyday life, equipment, dress, battle tactics and life on campaign of the typical Anglo-Saxon warrior of this period – the thegn.

Warrior 06 Drury: Confederate Infantryman 1861-1865

Confederate Infantryman 1861-1865. Warrior 06 Ian Drury The American Civil War was predominantly an infantryman's war. Artillery had improved substantially since 1815 and guns could inflict murderous losses if they had a clear field of fire. But most Civil War battlefields were characterised by sprawling forests and broken ground. Ultimately, the Confederacy's survival as a nation would largely depend on the fighting ability of its 642 infantry regiments

Warrior 08 Haythornthwaite: British Cavalryman 1792-1815

British Cavalryman 1792-1815. Warrior 08 Philip Haythornthwaite In the campaigns of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the deserved reputation of the British infantry has tended to overshadow the contribution of the cavalry, but in fact they did form an integral part of the army, carrying out duties crucial to the success of other arms. British Cavalryman 1792-1815 recounts what these duties were and examines the men who performed them. The different regiments of the cavalry are listed and some of the arm's more exotic or professional corps, such as the King's German Legion, examined.

Warrior 09 MacDowall: Late Roman Infantryman 236-565 AD

Late Roman Infantryman 236-565 AD. Warrior 09 Simon MacDowall This book details a warrior who was very different from the legionary who preceded him; perhaps he was not as well disciplined, but in many ways he was more flexible – ready for deployment to trouble spots, and for fighting both as a skirmisher and a heavy infantryman.

Warrior 10 Nicolle: Saracen Faris 1050-1250 AD

Saracen Faris 1050-1250 AD.

Crucial to the Middle Eastern forces involved was the professional cavalryman, known as a faris or 'horseman'.

Warrior 11 Bartlett: English Longbowman 1330-1515 (revised edition)

English Longbowman 1330-1515 (revised edition) Warrior 11 Clive Bartlett The English military ascendancy which lasted from the mid-14th to the early 15th century was founded upon defensive tactics based on the use of the longbow. This weapon, distinctive in that it was used by English forces alone, was probably the most effective missile weapon of the Late Middle Ages: its arrow had the same penetrative ability as a modern day bullet and the bow's rate of fire was not equalled by any weapon used by English forces until the adoption of the Lee Enfield rifle at the beginning of the 20th century.

Warrior 12 Drury: German Stormtrooper 1914-1918

German Stormtrooper 1914-1918. Warrior 12 Ian Drury The first official German stormtroop unit was authorised on 2 March 1915 when the Supreme Command of the field army ordered the VIII Corps to form a detachment for the testing of experimental weapons and the development of approximate tactics that could break the deadlock on the Western Front. By the summer of 1915, stormtroop units were springing up throughout the German armies in the west, and by the end of 1916 official stormtroop battalions were established throughout the western armies, providing a deadly new threat for the Allies.

Zulu 1816-1906. Warrior 14 Ian Knight In this book Ian Knight investigates Zulu weaponry in detail, and also their society, beliefs and rituals, particularly with regard to ceremonies conducted before and after battles.

Warrior 16 Pegler: British Tommy 1914-1918

British Tommy 1914-1918. Warrior 16 Martin Pegler The World War 1 was a watershed in British military and social history, and even now the repercussions can still be felt.

This book looks in detail at how the British soldier lived, fought and died during the traumatic war years. Enlistment, training and all aspects of life on active service are carefully examined, including discipline, relaxation and even the type and quality of food that soldiers ate.

Italian Militiaman 1260-1392. Warrior 25 by David Nicolle David Nicolle has produced an excellent book in which he places the evolution of Italian arms within its proper social and political context. He places much emphasis on the technological development of the crossbow and the effects this had not only on other military accoutrements, such as armour, but also on the resultant changes in military affairs and organisation. The examination of this important weapon is a key part of an extensive investigation into the units that used them - the Italian city militias. All aspects of these units are explored, from their organisation and arming to their eventual supersedence by professional soldiers

Celtic Warrior 300BC - AD100.

Warrior 35 Gravett: English Medieval Knight 1400 - 1500

English Medieval Knight 1400 - 1500. Warrior 35 by Christopher Gravett The 15th century was a time of change for knighthood. Knights no longer fought for their lords in return for land, since the feudal summons had long before given way to a system of contracts. However, this was also the age of the knight in plate armour, of the battle of Agincourt and the conquests of Henry V, and of the Wars of the Roses, the bloody internecine struggle that tore medieval England apart.

Gladiators 100BC - AD200. Warrior 39 by Stephen Wisdom The gladiatorial games of the Roman world comprised battle for entertainment and slaughter for profit.

English Medieval Knight 1200 - 1300. Warrior 48 by Christopher Gravett The 13th century was a time of change for knights in England.

Few branches of the German armed forces were represented on so many fronts as the mountain infantrymen, or Gebirgstruppen.
