In the book detailing the basics of building models of sailing ships, various technologies and tools. The text is accompanied by a large number of explanatory drawings. This book is filled with exceedingly useful information. Its only drawback is that it recommends using what are now outdated materials by current practice. The largest difference is that Mr. Porter advocates using balsa wood where more currtnt books advise basswood. But it is an easy leap to make to more modern practice. His conversion charts are are very helpful.

Эта книга — продолжение предыдущих работ автора — «История подводных лодок 1624 — 1904 гг.» и «Подводные лодки Великой войны 1914—1918 гг.». Основные ее достоинства таковы. Впервые в одном томе собраны сведения о всех подводных лодках, входивших в состав флотов мира в рассматриваемый период; эти субмарины распределены по классам, типам и сериям; все типы подводных лодок представлены в фотографиях и проекциях; их тактико-технические данные уточнены по материалам новейших публикаций; имеются краткие очерки развития подводных сил отдельных флотов, а также их действий в годы Второй мировой войны; приведены списки подводных лодок, погибших в период 1922—1945 гг. Все это делает книгу уникальной, не имеющей аналогов ни в отечественной, ни в зарубежной литературе. Она — хороший подарок читателям, интересующимся историей военного флота, и особенно — историей подводного кораблестроения.

Over the space of two centuries, the original Dutch settlers of South Africa, augmented by a trickle of refugees from a succession of religious wars in France and Germany, grew into a hardy breed. In time, these people came to think of themselves as white Africans or 'Afrikaners' though they were generally known to one another, and outsiders, as 'Boers', meaning farmers. This book details the fascinating history of the Boers from the 'Great Trek' of 1836-40, through their many wars with such peoples as the Zulus and the Pedi, to their final defeat of the Venda in 1898.

Two centuries ago, the West Indies were a booming set of islands where vast fortunes were made. By the late 1790s, the West Indies attracted four-fifths of British overseas capital investments and provided over one-eight of the government's £31.5 million total net revenue to the Treasury. These figures explain the tremendous numbers of naval and military forces deployed to protect these valuable Caribbean territories during the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802) and beyond. This fascinating volume by Réne Chartrand examines these forces, including a wealth of illustrations and photographs and eight full page colour plates by Paul Chappell.

On 11 October 1899 the Second Boer War between the British and the Boers began. The war saw the most powerful professional army in the world pitted against the unconventional tactics of the undisciplined Boers. Although the Boers were finally forced to surrender in May 1902 the war had taken its toll on their opponents who lost some 8,000 troops killed in action with a further 13,000 dying from disease. This book covers the organisation, uniforms and very different tactics involved in the conflict, from guerrilla warfare to a final war of attrition that the Boers could not hope to win.

The principal source of information on the Roman Republican Army is the sixth book of the Histories of the Greek historian Polybius, written a little before 150BC. This engaging text by Nicholas Sekunda draws heavily on this vital source to outline the equipment and organisation of the Roman Republican Army from 200–104 BC – a time when Rome was growing from a regional to a world power. With plenty of photographs and illustrations, including eight vivid full page colour plates by Angus McBride, this fascinating volume examines such topics as the Roman shield, helmets, the cuirass, greaves, the pilum, legion organisation, the principales and the tactics they employed.

In 1715 France had a sizeable overseas empire in America, Africa and Asia, its colonies garrisoned by thousands of regular officers and soldiers who belonged to the Navy's colonial establishment or by the French East India Company's troops. Though these troops are not usually covered in histories of the French forces, since the end of the 17th century, they saw considerable action against the enemy overseas. This last volume in a series of five (Men-at-Arms 296, 302, 304, 308 and 313) details the uniforms, arms and accoutrements of Louis XV's colonial and naval troops. The text is accompanied by numerous photographs and illustrations, including eight full colour plates.
