The origin of this book, and the gathering of material to he used for it, goes back over thirty years. The idea was that of Erich Grdner, historian of the German navy, and author of Die Deutschen Kriegschiffe, I HI5-1945, (Lehmanns, Munich).
In October 1942, thanks to a special request by Hitler, the German Naval Attache in Tokyo, Admiral Wenneker, was permitted to pay a short visit of inspection to a Yamalo class "super-dreadnought" in a dockyard, and then to cable a very detailed description of the ship to Berlin. On 22nd August 1943, Grdner was shown this report at the Fiihrer HQ for the purpose of interpretation and preparation of a design sketch drawing, under security supervision. Later, at the time of the collapse of the Third Reich, he rescued a copy of this sketch intending to use it as the frontispiece in a volume on Japanese warships. And after the war, hoping to put his plan into practice, Grdner embarked on an enthusiastic exchange of material with Shizuo Fukui, a Japanese naval constructor who planned similar publications in Japan.
Following Grdner's death, we decided to follow up the project. As Peter Mickel had already drawn a large number of plans of Japanese warships and discussed them with Grdner, continuity in this respect seemed assured. In the completion of this enormous task, he was later joined by F. Mrva. to whom special thanks are due for his utterly reliable assistance.
The task of preparing the text was undertaken by Hansgeorg Jentschura and Dieter Jung in the face of considerable difficulties. Original documents were not available for research, enquiries could not be made of individuals involved and no visits could be made to builders. Particular attention was paid to problems arising from varying transcriptions of Japanese characters — and which have led to the appearance in many publications of "phantom" ships. We give our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Wolfram Miiller-Yokota of the University of Bochum for his help in clarifying these anomalies.

George Nafziger - Imperial Bayonets, Tactics of th e Napoleonic Battery, Battalion and Brigade As Fou nd in Contemporary Regulations (1996).jpg

Historia21 - George Nafziger - Imperial Bayonets, Tactics of the N...and Brigade As Found in Contemporary Regulations 1996.jpg

George Nafziger has written an excellent reference book that highlights the drill regulations of the various nations that fought in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. It is well-researched, thorough, and is an indispensable reference for historians, enthusiasts, wargamers, and those that just like to play with their toy and model soldiers, or enjoy making model dioramas and vignettes.
Profusely illustrated with clear and concise diagrams of the various formations and maneuvers, the author skillfully leads the reader through the various evolutions troops would use on the battlefield. One that was particularly useful for me was seeing how the difficult passage of lines was done, which is one of the maneuvers Marshal Lannes executed at Jena under fire, which was no mean effort, being one of the hardest to execute, especially in the middle of a hard fight.
The bibliography is complete and very helpful, and this is a handy reference that needs to be at your side as you make your way through the various histories of the period.
This book is much more accurate and useful than Brent Nosworthy's With Musket, Cannon, and Sword, and the author is much more at home with his subject, and better versed in it than Mr. Nosworthy.
Faults and/or errors are few and far between. One minor annoyance was the author's tendency to use the term 'converged' instead of either 'provisional' or 'composite' for temporary units used either for a certain amount of time, or those utilized for a special mission, such as making a provisional battalion out of the grenadier companies of several battalions and/or regiments. 'Converged' is not a military term , while 'provisional' and 'composite' are. One suspects 'converged' is a wargaming term that has evolved through that particular genre.
This very important work is vital for understanding the drill and maneuvers on the tactical level for the armies of the period described. It is a must for historians and enthusiasts, and belongs on every Napoleonic buff's bookshelf.

Steven Patterson - The Cult of Imperial Honor in B ritish India (2009).jpg

What was imperial honor and how did it sustain the British Raj? If “No man may harm me with impunity” was an ancient theme of the European aristocracy, British imperialists of almost all classes in India possessed a similar vision of themselves as overlords belonging to an honorable race, so that ideals of honor condoned and sanctified their rituals, connecting them with status, power, and authority. Honor, most broadly, legitimated imperial rule, since imperialists ostensibly kept India safe from outside threats. Yet at the individual level, honor kept the “white herd” together, providing the protocols and etiquette for the imperialist, who had to conform to the strict notions of proper and improper behavior in a society that was always obsessed with maintaining its dominance over India and Indians. Examining imperial society through the prism of honor therefore opens up a new methodology for the study of British India.

Christopher W. Close - The Negotiated Reformation, Imperial Cities and the Politics of Urban Reform, 1525-1550 (2009).jpg

Historia21 - Christopher W. Close - The Negotiated Reformation, Im...ties and the Politics of Urban Reform, 1525-1550 2009.jpg

Utilizing evidence from numerous imperial cities, this book offers a new explanation for the spread and survival of urban reform during the sixteenth century. By analyzing the operation of regional political constellations, it reveals a common process of negotiation that shaped the Reformation in the Holy Roman Empire. It reevaluates traditional models of reform that leave unexplored the religious implications of flexible systems of communication and support among cities. Such networks influenced urban reform in fundamental ways, affecting how Protestant preachers moved from city to city, as well as what versions of the Reformation city councils introduced. This fusion of religion and politics meant that with local variations, negotiation within a regional framework sat at the heart of urban reform. The Negotiated Reformation therefore explains not only how the Reformation spread to almost every imperial city in southern Germany, but also how it survived imperial attempts to repress religious reform.

Leslie P. Peirce - The Imperial Harem, Women and S overeignty in the Ottoman Empire (1993).jpg

"The harem described in Leslie P. Peirce's fascinating book is not the lascivious sexual playground conceived by the Western imagination but the locus of power in the Ottoman empire...The general thesis of this outstanding book--that the power wielded by the women of the imperial harem was real, and that it stood in an organic relation to broader Ottoman political traditions and practice--will be widely accepted."--American Historical Review
"Peirce's work effectively reinforces recent work on the post-Suleymanic period, while at the same time revising scholarship about the imperial harem and the dynastic family. In doing so, her book is a significant contribution to the field."--The Historian
"The Imperial Harem is the definitive book on its subject. While it is excellent reading for students of women's studies, it is an important contribution to Ottoman history as well."--MESA Bulletin
"A tour de force. Peirce has brought her detailed knowledge of Ottoman harem politics to revise a fundamental question of Ottoman historiography: how did the dynasty adjust to the transformation of imperial ideology necessary in light of the regime's change from aggressive expansion to stasis."--Carl F. Petry, Northwestern University
"This is an excellent book, and a new departure in women's history within the Islamic field. Peirce discusses women not as a class apart, not as part of dynastic politics in the Ottoman Empire, thus shedding new light on political processes, and showing women to be an integral part of the dynasty."

John Koch - Celtic Culture, A Historical Encyclope dia (5 Vol. Set) (2005).jpg

The most comprehensive reference resource on Celtic culture; an encyclopedia written by and for scholars, yet accessible to all. From the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies in Aberystwyth, John T. Koch, one of the world's foremost Celtic scholars, has assembled work from leading researchers worldwide to produce the first encyclopedic treatment of the Celts and Celtic scholarship. This encyclopedia covers the entirety of the Celtic world, both through time and across geography. Although emphasizing the areas where Celtic languages and traditions survive into the present, the work does not slight the reaches of the Celtic empire, which was the largest language and cultural group on earth prior to the rise of Rome. In some 1,500 articles, many representing original research by the finest Celtic scholars, the work covers the Celts from prehistory to the present, giving comprehensive treatment to all topics from myth to music, religion to rulers, literature to language, government to games, and all topics in between. Entry into the rich world of Celtic scholarship has been difficult: The available information must be teased out of dense scholarly tomes or lightweight books emphasizing such popular elements of Celtic tradition as wee people, Druids, and blue-painted pagans. While this work treats those topics within its broad scope, the information is presented as scholarship, without the pop patina.
