Jacket (Protected in a New Brodart Dust Jacket Cover) - 882pp - Very heavy! Extra shipping
required! Tables - Biblio - Japanese to English Glossary - Index - Photos - Drawings - Built in
secrecy, the legendary cruisers of the Imperial Japanese Navy were active in all parts of the
Pacific and involved in nearly every naval action of the Pacific War. Based on official Japanese
publications and unpublished documents, this book provides--for the first time--a complete
history of these cruisers, including the 18 "heavy" and 25 "light" cruisers that saw combat, the
two ships incorporated from the Chinese Navy, and others that either were never completed or
never left the drawing board. The development of the various cruiser classes is presented
chronologically, starting with the designs and scout cruiser projects initiated after the
Russo-Japanese War. The authors give a detailed account of the planning, design, and
construction of each cruiser class, along with the numerous prewar and wartime modifications of
the individual ships. Technical particulars are included both in the text and in extensive data
tables. Among the illustrations are more than 250 sets of fully detailed line drawings,
meticulously traced from original blueprints. In addition to outboard profiles and deck plans, the
drawings provide details of internal arrangements, hull lines, armor and machinery not previously
collected in one volume. Prewar and wartime histories of all the ships are also described,
including movements, combat records and damage, refits and modifications, and final fates. The
buildup of the cruiser force in the years prior to World War II is presented in the framework of
the growing rivalry between Japan and the United States in the Pacific, and the resulting changes
in the successive Japanese defense policies between 1907 and 1936. Special attention is paid to
such factors as the influence of prewar political unrest and financial problems in Japan, the Naval
Limitation Treaties, and changing design concepts. Extensive appendixes provide information
never before published in western literature. More than 150 photographs accompany the text,
many not previously published - Publisher's List Price = $95 - Our Price - $79.95
LePage, Jean-Denis - GERMAN MILITARY VEHICLES OF WORLD WAR
II - An Illustrated Guide to Cars, Trucks, Half-Tracks, Motorcycles, Amphibious Vehicles and
Others - McFarland Publishing - ISBN# 9780786428984 - BRAND NEW Laminated
Softcover - Detailed line drawings - Biblio - Index - Glossary - This volume presents a
cross-section of the most common transport vehicles produced and used by the German army.
Tanks plus auxiliary vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, vans, ambulances, trucks and tractors
made it possible for the troops to keep moving. These lightly armored or unarmored
vehicles aka "soft skins" operated behind the front lines, maintaining supply lines, connecting
armies with their home bases, and ultimately determining the outcome of battle. Beginning with
the development of military vehicles in the early 1930s, this volume discusses the ways in which
this new technology influenced and, to some extent, facilitated Hitler's program of rearmament.
Nomenclature, standard equipment, camouflage and the combat roles of the various vehicles are
thoroughly examined. Individual vehicle types are arranged and discussed by the following
classifications: cars and motorcycles; trucks and tractors; half-tracks and wheeled combat
vehicles. Accompanied by well-researched, detailed line drawings, each section deals with a
number of individual vehicles, describing their design, manufacture and specific use - Publisher's List Price = $49.95 -Our Price - $44.95

obtained has been faithfully logged down in this book. Interestingly, many of the buckles were

called 'black-diggers'; people who dig up and illegally remove artefacts from the aforementioned
battle fields and grave sites. For the advanced collector, information and photographs of a
