Tim Bouverie’s Winning the War offers a ground-breaking exploration of the complex relations between the Allied powers during World War II. Far from the lockstep agreement depicted in popular culture or the cozy “special relationship” of the United States and Britain today, Bouverie shows how the wartime alliance was at every turn threatened by mistrust, rivalry, hypocrisy, and deceit, as well as how all the allies, from the very start of the war, were intensely focused on the world that would emerge once hostilities had ceased.

A sequel to Michael Walsh’s Last Stands, his new book A Rage to Conquer is a journey through the twelve of the most important battles in Western history. As Walsh sees it, war is an important facet of every culture—and, for better or worse, our world is unthinkable without it. War has been an essential part of the human condition throughout history, the principal agent of societal change, waged by men on behalf of, and in pursuit of, their gods, women, riches, power, and the sheer joy of combat.

The Pursuit is Plan Z is the unlikely origin story of the intelligence coup that led to the largest naval battle in history, in World War II's Pacific Theater, resulting in the most crushing defeat the U.S. Navy has ever inflicted on an enemy force.

By recovering what the people themselves felt and believed, Summer of Fire and Blood reconstructs the thrilling, tragic story of the peasants’ fight to change the world.

Here, she weaves her family’s story with her state’s, from Alabama’s forced removal of the Creek nation, making room for enslaved West Africans, to present-day legislative battles for “evolution disclaimers” in biology textbooks.

“The Devil’s Playground” was anything south of the second canal to the men of Charlie Company’s 2nd Platoon—Two Charlie—during their 2009–2010 deployment to the Arghandab River Valley in Afghanistan.

At the end of the Nuremberg trials in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large.
