Haythornthwaite, Philip J. DIE HARD! DRAMATIC ACTIONS FROM THE NAPOLEONIC WARS.
Arms and Armour, London, 1996.
256 pp, large 8vo (9 7/16" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 1854092456 B&w plates, maps/battle plans. "This collection of ten Napoleonic actions has been created to demonstrate just some of the features of warfare from that period. The natura l drama of those days at Marengo, Eylau, Albuera and Waterloo needs no invented scenes, no artificial inflation of the leadership shown, no exaggeration of individual courage, and, realising that, (the author) allows the facts to stand alone. H e p r ovides the detail required to comprehend the complexities of Napoleonic warfare and sources needed to aid further study; his empathetic style encourages the reader into the position of the men of the 57th who responded to the words of their c ol o ne l at Albuera ('Die hard, 57th, die hard!')." Slight bump at top/bottom of spine, small light stain on top of text block, remainder mark (dots) on bottom of text block and front board. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and a lon g top edge - mainly on rear panel, very light rubbing and small faint line indentations on panels. Very Good/Very Good

Haythornthwaite, Philip J. THE ARMIES OF WELLINGTON.
Arms and Armour, London, 1994.
318 pp, large 8vo (9 1/2" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 1854091751 B&w illustrations. "(T)he most comprehensive account ever published of the effect of this one man on the British Army during the Napoleonic era. This profusely illustrated study by Philip Haythornthwaite sets out to demonstrate Wellington's flexibility by showing the changes he employed in the various theatres in which he was active. As such, it is not another biography of this most celebrated soldier, but rather an assessment of how he altered the structure and equipment of his troops for each of his campaigns. Every aspect of his armies is explored - from the officers to the common soldiers; from the infantry to the cavalry; from military clergymen to the me dical services; as well as the attitude, morale and experiences of the troops. The author supplements his diligently researched analysis and detailed statistical coverage with contemporary accounts and quotations (many previously unpublished) t o p r ovide a fresh look at one of the most colourful characters in European miltiary history..." A few very tiny white specks on front board, minor wrinkling at bottom of spine. Dust jacket has been price clipped, has light wrinkling at top of s pi n e an d flap-folds. Very Good+/Very Good

Haythornthwaite, Philip J. Colour illustrations by Jeffrey Burn. THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR 1642-1651: AN ILLUSTRATED MILITARY HISTORY.
Arms and Armour, London, 1994, reprint.
160 pp, small 4to (10" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 1854092383 Profusely illustrated in b&w and colour with photographs, reproductions, maps, drawings, uniform studies. "The English Civil Wars represent the most vital watershed in British history, effectively extinguishing the vestiges of feudalism and originating the concepts of constitutional monarchy and standing army. This history concentrates upon the military aspects (of the three distinct wars of the period). In addition to a detailed and chronological account of the campaigning, and insights into the characters of the military and political leades, the book includes an important section on a subject frequently neglected: on how an army was formed, how its members were recruited (or impressed), how regiments were raised, trained and equipped, how an army was provisioned, marshalled in the field, how its infantry and cavalry were employed, how its artillery was managed, and ultimately how it fought, advanced o r r e treated. In all these matters, as in the chronological account of the war which follows, most extensive use has been made of contemporary drill-books, manuals, accounts by military theorists and practical soldiers, eye-witness accoounts and me m oi rs ." Slight cigarette odor, minor browning to edges of text block, tiny dint/wear at top corner of both boards, slight darkening to color at top corner of rear board due to dampness. Dust jacket has dampness/dye stains at inside bottom of sp in e a nd inside top of rear flap-fold, faint water mark at top inside edge of rear panel, minor edge wrinkling, very light rubbing.

ISBN 1854091026 "(P)rovides a unique, single-volume reference source on the armies, battles, weapons and leaders of the first of the great wars that shook Europe and the World during the t wentieth-century. (It) presents in encyclopedic detail a wide range of information, facilitating rapid access to the essential facts and figures of the First World War. After a brief analysis of the causes of the Great War in the tumultuous Balka n s up to 1914, the historical section charts the progress of the war, year by year and in all theatres and with clear, informative maps of important battles and offensives from Flanders to Mesopotamia. Haythornthwaite then records the nature of th e war at sea and in the air before offering a detailed chronology of the war years and a meticulously researched record of the Weapons and Tactics of the war - everything from the basic rifles, trench construction, naval armour and mines to flame-th ro wers, artillery and trench communications. Further sections cover every combatant nation; the nature of their government and all active armed forces deployed, as well as a biographical chapter of the leading, notable and important personalities; a fascinating and revealing section of source material, documents and records; and an invaluable glossary and miscellaneous chapter which explains terminology, colloquialisms and obscurities rarely listed. Throughout the book there are fascinating , b rief anecdotal selections which bring the dramatic struggle vividly to life, together with more than 250 contemporary photographs and engravings; clear maps illustrate the principal battles and campaigns."

Haythornthwaite, Philip J. WELLINGTON'S MILITARY MACHINE.
Guild Publishing, London, 1989 (Book Club Associates).
192 pp, 4to (11 1/8" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 094677188X Profusely illustrated in b&w and colour with maps/battle plans, uniform studies, reproductions. "(D)escribes in detail the composition and evolution of the British Army and its Allied foreign contingents, from the earliest campaigns of the French Revolutionary Wars until the final triumph at Waterloo. All aspects are covered, from the life of the ordinary redcoat to weaponry, tactics, administration, the supporting services at home and the numerous 'foreign corps'; and to the military genius of Wellington himself, all of which are supported by lavish illustrations. An account of all the campaigns undertaken from the first landing in the Netherlands in 1793 to Waterloo show how this army was employed, including not only the famous episodes of the Peninsular War but such little-regarded expeditions as those to South America in 1806, to Denmark, Egypt, the Cape and North America, and in India where Wellington gained his first victories. Full coverage is also accorded the Royal Navy and its invaluable services, not only in combat but in the less-glamorous but no less important duties of blockade and support for the military campaigns: in effect, a complete study of 'the most complete machine'." Light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine, one very small corner bump, place and date of purchase written on free front endpaper. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds, very light rubbing. Very Good/Very Good
