The Jail Busters: The Secret Story of MI6, the French Resistance and Operation Jericho

Relentless attacks on its diverse and disorganised networks by the Gestapo and the Abwehr had put many of its best operatives in prison, or worse. But in the lead up to Operation Overlord, 'D Day', the Resistance had never been more important to the Allied war effort, and many groups were in the pay of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, MI6. One such was organised by a patriot called Dominic Ponchardier. For months he had watched helplessly as his friends and colleagues had been swept up by the Nazi drag...

Bill Slim
ISBN: 9781849085281 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 'Bill' Slim was one of the greatest British generals of World War II.

Iraq 1941: The Battles for Basra, Habbaniya, Fallujah and Baghdad
ISBN: 9781841769912 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The events in Iraq in 1941 had crucial strategic consequences. The country's oil reserves were a highly coveted prize for the Axis powers, and its location provided a corridor in the defence of Palestine and the Suez Canal. Had Iraq fallen to the Axis powers, Britain could have lost its foothold in the Middle East and the Mediterranean and risked losing World War II (1939-1945). This book examines the strategy and tactics of the Iraq campaign, the role of the Indian Army and the Arab Legion, the nature of expeditionary warfare and the complementary roles of air and land power.
