Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Although the war of 1870â€"71 has gone down in history as the 'Franco-Prussian War', nearly half of the German troops sent to the frontier were from other German states â€" both the willing members of the North German Confederation and the southern states who were in some cases more hesitant about accepting Prussian domination. Some contingents had only one or two regiments â€" though these might be of high quality, like the 'Black Brunswickers'; others provided whole army corps,...more
Chinese Civil War Armies 1911-49 (Men-at-Arms)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-10-16 Summary: Great artwork ... This book is meant as a reference for the armies which fought over China from 1911-1949 (minus the Japanese and Allies, of course). As such it is well-illustrated with artwork and photographs. However, the text doesn't quite make sense of the chaotic period discussed. Of course, you have to keep in mind that this period in Chinese history is hard to discuss in the limited format that is available in the form of this book. As a uniform reference I think this is the volume you need if you are at all interested in this ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-22 Summary: Excellent Starting Point ... This is an excellent Osprey book that manages to cram organizational charts, detailed descriptions of uniforms and insignia, and overviews of Imperial, Republican, Nationalist, Communist, and Puppet armies into a single 48 page volume. For its size this book does manage to tackle this tumultuous period in Chinese history well and gives a very good view of the appearances of the soldiers with both photographs and color plates. This is a highly recommendable title, and probably one of the best Osprey has done for modern-era ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2001-12-22 Summary: Highly Informative Little Work ... Growing up in the late forties, as a child, I vaguely remember hearing about McCarthy and the Great Debate about "Who Lost China." Well, I can tell you that with no hesitation. Chaing Kai Shek lost China when he invaded Manchuria in 1945 but he made a long run at the pole and almost grabbed the prize. If it had not been for the Japanese invasion he probably would have finished off the Reds and taken over the whole country. I knew the story of Chaing and Mao and Chou En Lai but nothing about the warlord period before ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The fall of the Manchu Empire in 1911 ended thousands of years of Imperial rule and ushered in almost 40 years of conflict in China. From the abdication of Pu-Yi, the last emperor, the invasion of Manchuria by the Japanese, and the 'long march', to the birth of the People's Republic of China in 1949, this book looks in detail at the fighting men, and women, who fought for the communists, imperialists, republicans, nationalists, warlords and the puppet armies. The result is a comprehensive...more
The Chinese Army 1937-49: World War II and Civil War (Men-at-Arms)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-21 Summary: A mixed review of this book ... As a Chinese American interested in the 2nd world war history, this is the ONLY book in English on this subject I know of (of course there is a sibling book covering the time period starting 20 years earlier). The book does cover a lot of information and the readers need to go through evey page and every picture including the captions of the drawings. The author tried to cover so many issues in such a small booklet: army organization, uniform, persoal equipment, and weaponry from light firearm to artillery and armored ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-25 Summary: An army that decided the shape of the world. ... The title of my review may seem odd but, after thinking about the subject of this book and reading it and others, I think you will agree with it. If you wonder how the nations of the earth who preach freedom and democracy all stop, kow-tow and do business with a Chinese government that manages to reap the profits of extreme Capitalist exploitation while using the apparatus of Stalin style Communist oppression, this book will show you how it began. One will notice in the excellent color illustrations that almost every ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-02-17 Summary: The Chinese Army 1937-49: World War II and Civil War ... Very good book on little known subject. Information on uniforms and equipment was very good. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Although the Chinese contribution to Allied victory in World War II is often ignored, China fought the Japanese Empire for far longer than any other belligerent nation. By the time that the Sino-Japanese War became absorbed into the wider conflict at the end of 1941, Chinese armies had already suffered huge casualties and half the country had been lost. By fighting on with Allied support, China tied down a million Japanese troops. After Japan’s defeat in 1945, China was immediately plunged...more
US Infantry in the Indian Wars 1865-91 (Men-at-Arms)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-08-03 Summary: A Good Tribute to the Foot Sloggers of the Indian Wars ... This slim book has some very good illustrations of the P.B.I. (Poor Bloody Infantry) of the American Indian Wars. While they are not as good as the Late Angus McBrides work, they are however well worth the coin. The Text is also pretty good about the mostly ignored foot soldier of the Old Regular Army for the granted limited space of these series. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-07-07 Summary: A survey of the US infantry on the frontier ... New to the 'Men-at-Arms' series is Ron Field's US INFANTRY IN THE INDIAN WARS 1865-91, a survey of the US infantry on the frontier, differing from the usual focus on the US Cavalry. From their daily lives and challenges to key battles, US INFANTRY IN THE INDIAN WARS follows not just strategy or biographies, but the uniforms, equipment and organization of the Infantry forces as a whole. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Thanks to Hollywood's many portrayals of the US Cavalry, it is little understood that the infantry played as great a part in the Indian Wars of the 1860s-80s, and were more consistently successful. The great Paiute War of 1866, where the infantry of the most renowned Indian-fighting general, George Cook, excelled in battle, together with the role of other infantry units in the final subjugation of Geronimo's Apaches in 1886, are but two instances of their achievements. Moreover, after...more
