Confederate Cavalryman 1861 65
ISBN: 9781841763811 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The southerner of the mid-19th century had been bred to ride horses. In addition the period southerner had long been used to handling firearms, through hunting for pleasure, food or simply for sport. The combination of these factors promised that when the southern states began to secede in December 1860, the cavalry would be a major combat arm. This title looks at how the men of the Confederate cavalry were recruited, trained, lived and fought during the Civil War (1861-65). Both routine and campaign life are covered, as well as the weapons and equipment that served them in their combat...

Confederate Artilleryman 1861 65
ISBN: 9781841763002 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the heady days of the rush to arms in 1861, comparatively few Southern men volunteered for service in the artillery: most preferred the easily accessible glory of the infantry or cavalry. Yet those that did, quickly earned the respect of their fellow soldiers, and a reputation for being able to "pull through deeper mud, ford deeper springs, shoot faster, swear louder ... than any other class of men in the service" during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Given that field artillery was invariably deployed in front of the troops that it was supporting, the artillerymen were exposed to a...

American Civil War Armies (1): Confederate Troops
ISBN: 9780850456790 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When the Southern states seceded to form their own government in 1861, one of their first moves was to organise an army. The South's fighting men served from the time of their enlistment until the end of the war, receiving poor rations, and even worse clothing - and this despite the fact that one of the first steps taken by the new army was to design a uniform and establish standards for accoutrements and weapons. In this first of five volumes examining American Civil War armies, Philip Katcher profiles the uniforms issued by the national Confederate government to its artillery, cavalry and...

Flags of the American Civil War (2): Union
ISBN: 9781855322554 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The regimental or battery set of colours was more than simply a unit designation, issued for the ease of a commander in identifying his units in the field. It was the very symbol of the regiment; it was its heart, the thing that drew its members together. As such it was fiercely defended in action, where it flew in the centre of the line. Complemented by numerous illustrations, including eight full page colour plates by Rick Scollins, this book by Philip Katcher provides a fascinating examination of the Union flags of the American Civil War (1861-1865).

American Civil War Commanders (4): Confederate Leaders in the West
ISBN: 9781841763194 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osprey's study of the commanders of the American Civil War (1861-1865). In the Western theater of war the Confederacy had the misfortune to face, with inferior resources, some of the outstanding Union leaders early in their careers. The Southern commanders who faced Grant, Sherman and Sheridan in these campaigns were of varied backgrounds and talents: some had been sent West in disfavour, others were foolishly quarrelsome, and after A.S.Johnston's death at Shiloh there was no single figure with the authority to dominate them. Some were nevertheless of the highest class: men like Joseph...

American Civil War Armies (4): State Troops
ISBN: 9780850457476 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "The War between the States" is the term used for the American Civil War (1861-1865)throughout much of the South even today. Many on both sides - not just the South - felt that they were serving their states as much, if not more, than their central governments. Many of the states agreed; the state governments raising their own units, commissioning their officers, and supplying their men. Indeed, many of the units that fought the Civil War were supplied in large part by their own states rather than by the central government's quartermasters. Philip Katcher's fascinating text explores the...

American Civil War Commanders (3): Union Leaders in the West
ISBN: 9781841763217 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osrpey's examination of the commanders of the American Civil War (1861-1865). When the War Between the States broke out in 1861, the US Army had only four line generals and three of those were over 70 years of age and veterans of the Napoleonic period. About one in three of America's professional officers chose to serve the Confederacy, and the government's urgent need to find commanders for its vastly expanded army put stars on the shoulders of men of very varied backgrounds and talents. The trials of war would soon separate the born leaders from the over-promoted and the political...

American Civil War Artillery 1861-65 (2): Heavy Artillery
ISBN: 9781841762197 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Because of the length of the coastline of the United States, from the beginning American ordnance and engineers placed an emphasis on heavy artillery mounted in coastal defences. The Union army organised its 'Heavy Artillery' into separate regiments, uniformed and equipped differently. While the Field Artillery was assigned across the fighting fronts Heavy Artillery units served the big guns in the forts and the defences of Washington. The Confederates did not differentiate types of artillery and those that became known as Heavy Artillery did so through informal association rather than formal...

The US Army 1941-45
ISBN: 9780850455229 / Angielski / Miękka / 1978 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. At the time of the Second World War, the United States Army took an unusual approach, for the period, towards the design of its uniforms. Rather than attempt to find an all-purpose outfit, such as the British battledress, it attempted to design special-purpose dress for every possible duty, from combat in cold climates to dress parades in hot ones. Here Philip Katcher provides an extensive examination of the many different types of uniform and equipment which saw service during the conflict.

The American Provincial Corps 1775–84
ISBN: 9780850451481 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Initially British officials of the American Revolutionary War were reluctant to accept the offers of loyal subjects to form fighting units but eventually the potential of a Provincial corps was realized. Yet they never received the whole-hearted support of the British regular army and this was a factor in their eventual defeat. Nonetheless the Provincial Corps served with distinction even fighting against the Spanish in Nicaragua and the Bahamas and some remained in service for several more years by relocating to Canada. This book examines their experiences in this continental conflict and...

Sharpshooters of the American Civil War 1861 65
ISBN: 9781841764634 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When the American Civil War (1861-1865) broke out, both Confederate and Union experts decided that specialized sharpshooter units should be formed. These highly trained marksmen served in a front-line role and, due to the technological developments of the 1850s, were equipped with weapons that could guarantee greater accuracy over increased range than traditional muskets. This title examines the recruitment, training, tactics and deployment of sharpshooters from both sides of the conflict. It also takes a close look at the specialized personal weaponry of the sharpshooter, the rifle and its...

American Civil War Commanders (2): Confederate Leaders in the East
ISBN: 9781841763187 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osrpey's examination of the commanders of the American Civil War (1861-1865). The generals who led the brigades, divisions, corps and armies of the Confederacy were very largely products of the same professional backgrounds as their opponents in Union blue - indeed, many of them were former West Point classmates and brother officers in the pre-war US Army, who had served together on the frontier or in the Mexican War. In terms of field experience they were also similar to the vast majority of Union commanders - none of them had ever commanded so much as a brigade before 1861, and they had to...

The American Indian Wars 1860-90
ISBN: 9780850450491 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The American Indian Wars, the most famous of which were fought on the great Western plains between 1860 and 1890, were among the most tragic of all conflicts ever fought. To the victor went no less than the complete domination of the continent, to the loser total extinction. Accustomed only to small scale skirmishing and raiding, the Indians were doomed from the start. They had never fought a European-style war with its constant pressure and co-ordinated strategies. Philip Katcher details the armies of both sides, paying particular attention to their organization and uniforms.

When the War Between the States broke out in 1861, the US Army had only four line generals - and only one of them was not a septuagenarian veteran of the War of 1812. With about one-third of all professional officers choosing to offer their swords to the South, the government's urgent need to find commanders for the vastly expanded Federal army put generals' stars on the shoulders of men of very varied backgrounds and talents. In time the shock of war would separate the born leaders from the over-promoted and the...

American Civil War Artillery 1861-65 (1): Field Artillery
ISBN: 9781841762180 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Perhaps the most influential arm of either army in the prosecution of the American Civil War, the artillery of both sides grew to be highly professional organizations, centralizing their artillery, organizing artillery battalions from individual batteries and giving their commanders higher ranks than field artillerymen had previously held. In battle, the introduction of the 12-pdr. Napoleon, followed closely by rifled cannon, provided a range and power previously unknown on American soil. This book details this vital cog in the war-machine of both sides.

The American War 1812-14
ISBN: 9780850451979 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Typically the United States is said to have declared war on Great Britain in 1812 because of the Royal Navy's impressment of American seamen and the British desire to create an Indian buffer state. An Englishman William Cobbett, described the real cause of the conflict: 'There seemed to be wanting just such a war as this to complete the separation of England from America; and to make the latter feel that she had no safety against the former but in the arms of her free citizens.' Regardless of the reasons, however, on 4 June 1812, U.S.President James Madison, asked Congress to declare war.

ISBN: 9780850452532 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 8 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 'There never was so fine an American army, ' wrote second-lieutenant, John Sedgwick, in describing the troops under Major-General Zachary Taylor in 1846. Another then second-lieutenant, destined to see many more armies; U.S. Grant, also thought highly of them: 'The rank and file were probably inferior ... to the volunteers that participated in all the later battles of the war; but they were brave men, and then drill and discipline brought out all there was in them.' Philip Katcher writes the story of the regulars and volunteers who fought in the Mexican-American War, detailing the infantry,...
