War II in Europe : An Encyclopedia (Military History of the United States)
by David T. Zabecki
Book Description:
World War II defined the 20th century and shaped many events, from
the decolonization of Africa to the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall. This
encyclopedia offers a focused overview of this complex and volatile era,
the circumstances that led up to war, the underlying causes, its unfolding
and consequences.
Organized for quick and precise access
More than 1300 entries by 150 experts are arranged in six sections
for easy reference and consultation. All the key ideas, events, actions,
weapons, individuals, and organizations that played vital roles in the
war are covered, from the Axis Pact to the Arab League, from the OSS to
the Africa Korps, from the Chetniks to the Jedburghs, from the battle of
Kursk to Operation Mincemeat, from Bill Donovan to Otto Skorzeny, from
Gestapo to SMERSH, from Georgi Zhukov to Jean Leclerc, from the 88 gun
to the Norden Bombsight.
Covers important neglected subjects
The Encyclopedia puts special emphasis on the often-neglected operations
in Eastern Europe and Russia. A key section inspects and rates all the
major weapons, with handy tables for easy comparison. And in recognition
of the first large-scale participation of women in the war, the volume
thoroughly documents their individual and unit contributions to the Allied
effort. Finally, the encyclopedia discusses battlefield realties that explain,
for example, why the airborne drops at Normandy succeeded and the ones
at Arnheim failed. A bibliography, glossary, maps, photographs, and weapons
and data tables enhance the coverage.

History's Most Wanted: The Top 10 Book of Improbable Victories, Unlikely
Heroes, and Other Martial Oddities (Brassey's Most Wanted Series)
by M. Evan Brooks
Book Description: The good, the bad, and the ugly through the ages
* Delivers little known facts and clever commentary on the people,
the battles, the wars, the literature and the media, and miscellaneous
facts from ancient times to the present
* Arranged in over sixty top-ten lists, with hundreds of stories assembled
here for the first time
* Covers Warfare around the globe
In 1944 U.S. Army Lieutenant General Leslie J. McNair was accidentally
killed by USAAF bombers that dropped their bombs short of the target thus
becoming the highest ranking American casualty of World War II. Union General
Daniel Sickles was the first person to be successfully acquitted of murder
by plea of temporary insanity after he shot and killed the son of "Star-Spangled
Banner" composer Francis Scott key in cold blood. Ten years before Custer's
infamous last stand, U.S. cavalry captain William J. Fetterman disobeyed
orders and led his eighty-man detachment in pursuit of a band of Sioux
Indians. Neither he nor his men returned. In the United States, Benedict
Arnold's name is synonymous with treason, but in Russia Andrei Vlasov
holds that dubious distinction. After being captured by the Germans during
World War II, he led an army of former Soviet POWs against the Red Army.
Famous men of the arts and letters, such as Maurice Chevalier and Jean-Paul
Sartre, openly collaborated with the Axis during World War II, yet managed
to escape punishment after the war. Entertainer Martha Raye was so beloved
by the troops that she earned an honorary commission as "Colonel Maggie"
and was allowed to be buried at Fort Bragg's military cemetery. James
Bond creator Ian Fleming graduated from Sandhurst and was a naval intelligence
officer in World War II. During the Thirty Years' War, Count Tilly lost
control of his troops after capturing Magdeburg. After three days of looting,
they had killed 25,000 of the city's 30,000 inhabitants.
MILITARY HISTORY'S MOST WANTED chronicles 700 of the most outlandish
commanders, battles, and accomplishments in military history. Its seventy
lists include warfare's top ten winners, losers, traitors, entertainers,
war novels, and movies. Military historians, buffs, and enthusiasts will
enjoy this often irreverent and controversial look at the professions of
arms.
