25 - Storm Over Taierzhuang

Volume 7, Number 1 (#25) Storm Over Taierzhuang

It sounds very familiar. An Axis army launches an offensive to take a key city. Except, the defenders have set up an elaborate trap, turning the city into a fortress that had to be taken block by block. And with most of the city captured, the defenders suddenly launched a massive attack on both flanks and virtually eliminated the Axis army. Stalingrad, 1942: right?

27 - The Pocket at Falaise

Volume 7, Number 3 (#27) The Pocket at Falaise

Cable TV news is full of horrific photos from “Highways of Death,” from Iraq to Libya that seem, almost literally, to be “paved” with burnt-out vehicles. Those who study WWII remember similar destruction... on the road out of the Falaise Pocket... where 25 German divisions raced for survival. But the devastation there was something unprecedented.

43 - Islands of the Damned

Volume 11, Issue 3 (#43) Islands of the Damned

No two conflicts show the breath and scope of warfare in the Pacific than the battle for Wake Island and the Invasion of Peleliu. Both campaigns tell a very similar story about the high price of hubris and the quality of courage.

2013 Annual - La Bataille de Vauchamps

2013 Annual - La Bataille de Vauchamps

“Come. We must repeat the campaign in Italy.”

-- Emperor Napoleon to Berthier, 1814

For the casual reader who looks into the “100 Days” and the Waterloo Campaign, one of the early questions is, “Who (the heck) is Grouchy?” Followed up by wondering why (on earth) Napoleon would give this guy a third of his army and depend on him to keep Blücher’s Prussians far from Wellington....
