The first of these, the "J/K/M class" was followed by a number of wartime variants, with slight changes to their weaponry to suit different wartime roles. Designed to...

Labelled a 'splendid little war' by Senator John Hay, the Spanish American War (1898) was a peculiar event in America's history, provoked as much by the press as by political pressures. Here, aided by superbly detailed maps and artwork, the author deals with the clashes at Las Guasimas and El Caney, the capture of San Juan Hill, and the naval battle and siege of Santiago. The war was to mark the end of Spanish sovereignty in her 'New World', and the establishment of the United States of America as a world power.

Zanim nastała era wielkich piratów w XVIII w., na Karaibach grasowali jeszcze bardziej bezlitośni łupieżcy, których czasy ochrzczono mianem „Ery Bukanierów”. Przez ponad 50 lat, angielscy, francuscy i niderlandzcy bukanierzy organizowali wyniszczające ataki na hiszpańskie miasta, porty i okręty. Znani bukanierzy, pokroju Henry’ego Morgana, przeprowadzali swe najazdy pod protekcją korony angielskiej, a w 1697 r. armia francuska skorzystała nawet z pomocy bukanierów podczas zdobywania słynnej hiszpańskiej Cartageny.

Even with Germany in the ascendency at the beginning of World War II, Scapa Flow was supposed to be the safe home base of the British Navy. Nothing and nobody could penetrate the defences of this bastion, which was built up to formidable levels in World War I and symbolized the faith placed by the British in the invulnerability of their navy. So how, in the dead of night on October 13, was Gunther Prien's U-47 able to slip through the line of protective warships undetected to sink the mighty "Royal Oak"? This book provides the answer with an account of one of the most daring naval raids of...

When World War II commenced, the Graf Spee, under the command of Captain Langsdorff, began a hunting spree across the South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean that eventually took her to the River Plate in search of her next victim--an Allied convoy. Instead, she found three... Days before the outbreak of World War II, a handful of German commerce raiders put out to sea to prey on Allied merchantmen. Among them was the ... |

From then on he caused havoc off the North American seaboard, in the West Indies and off Honduras, before appearing off Charleston, South...
