20 - A Fatal Attraction

20 - A Fatal Attraction

Volume 5, Number 4 (#20) A Fatal Attraction

In the beginning, it was Churchill's idea... a way of putting old battleships to useful service, make a show of strength off Istanbul which would, he said, cause immediate regime-change and take Turkey out of the war. In the end, when the last Allied troops evacuated, the casualty count for both sides topped half-a-million. (And Churchill lost his job.)

Volume 6, Number 2 (#23) Guerra a Muerte

Guerra a Muerte depicts the 14 year struggle that saw Spain's possessions in the hemisphere change from "almost everything not U.S." to "Cuba and Hispanola."

Volume 6, Number 4 (#24) Deathride: Mars-la-Tour 1870

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.

Volume 8, Issue 1 (#29) Buffalo Wings

Historians, air aficionados, and gamers may have friendly disagreements when asked, "What was the best Allied fighter of WWII?" There seems to be much easier agreement on the question, "Which was the worst?" Answers always seem to include the stubby Brewster "Buffalo" near the top of any list.

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.
