CATALOGUE JANUARY – JUNE 2020 Greetings from Osprey! CATALOGUE JANUARY – JUNE 2020 Greetings from Osprey! 2020 is set to be a very exciting year for Osprey, with a host of fantastic titles publishing throughout the year. Our new military fitness title Be Para Fit (p.1) and its accompanying app are set to inspire beginners and aspiring Paras alike to journey towards elite fitness alongside former leader of Paratrooper selection Major Sam McGrath. In the gripping Blood, Metal and Dust (p.2), Brigadier Ben Barry offers an explosive insight into the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, providing a detailed account of events on the ground during the conflicts. Given the ongoing scrutiny of the role of female soldiers in these and other conflicts, Julie Wheelwright’s Sisters in Arms (p.2) is a timely and relevant exploration of the history of female soldiers across the centuries which challenges the contemporary relationship between masculinity and combat. Tapping into the desire for alternative perspectives in military history, both The Devil’s Bridge (p.4) and To Defeat the Few (p.4) explore key aspects of World War II through the eyes of German forces. In the former, Anthony Tucker-Jones examines the battle for Arnhem, the result of the disastrous Allied Operation Market Garden, whilst the latter, by Paul Crickmore and Doug Dildy is a fascinating analysis of the Battle of Britain from the perspective of the Luftwaffe. Osprey Games also has a selection of exciting new releases this year, including Oathmark (p.26), a mass-battle fantasy wargame, and Letterpress (p.24). a clever card game for witty wordsmiths. Fans of Frostgrave (p.27) are set to enter the Frozen City once again with a revised and expanded edition of the multi-award-winning wargame, whilst Judge Dredd: Helter Skelter players will be able to adventure solo with the new Dark Judges expansion (p.25).

Participants include places of worship, schools, town halls, carillons, cemeteries, and local DAR, VFW and American Legion posts across the country. Additionally, all United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard installations, as well as Naval and Coast Guard ships at port and at sea, will toll their bells at the Eleventh Hour of this day to honor those who wore the uniform one hundred years ago. To Inspire the Future by Remembering our Past One hundred years ago, bells from steeples perched all over the world rang out in relief and joy, sorrow and hope, at news of the great Armistice. The war was over, but the hard work of peace lay ahead. Families, homes, and cities lay in ruins.

TIGERS IN THE TRENCHES: A STUDY OF CLEMSON IN THE GREAT WAR A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts History by Brock M. Lusk May 2015 Accepted by: Dr. Alan Grubb, Committee Chair Dr. Rod Andrew Dr. Jerome Reel ABSTRACT In April 1917, Clemson Agricultural College was a small, relatively-unknown land-grant college. The college had only been open for 23 years, 8 months with an average annual enrollment of 616 students when the United States declared war and entered World War I. By the end of the war, over 821 Clemson graduates and former students would serve in the U.S and Allied military services. James C. Littlejohn, the registrar from 1910 – 1925, attempted to catalog the service of these alumni during and after the war. In order to conduct this study, a cross reference of Clemson students from 1896 – 1920 with soldier rosters from World War I was necessary.

  • Morrison's Valiant Last Stand
    MORRISON’S VALIANT LAST STAND PART II The shipyard workers performed miracles in repairing, rebuilding and modernizing the ship. New main battery director radars, mainmast and other exterior and interior refurbishmenents were made. A really new item was the installation of a system of electronic countermeasures (radar jammers) and UHF radios for use by fighter director teams. These were installed in the after deck house under No. 4 5-in mount. A mast to carry the odd-looking radar jammer antennas was installed next to gun No. 45 40mm mount. Unknown at that time both systems were to play an important role in the days to come. On 10 February, Morrison cast off her lines and steamed to Pearl Harbor. After a sleepless period of shore bombardment exercises, she was on her way to Ulithi, and for there to the next invasion - Okinawa Shima in the Ryukyr Islands, a place that was to become famous, but few Americans had heard of it at that time. On the way to Okinawa, the crew as assembled and given a briefing on some of the things they could expect, as well as some aspects of the missions Morrison was to be assigned: The island lay nearly exactly midway between Formosa and Japan. Heavy air attacks were to be expected from both Formosa and from the Japanese mainland, especially Kyushu. These air attacks were expected to be largely in the way of kamikaze or Divine Wind attacks. The enemy aircraft would try to dive their aircraft right into the ships of the fleet! There would also be suicide torpedo boats as well as suicide swimmers.

  • CATALOGUE JULY – DECEMBER 2020 Greetings from Osprey!
    CATALOGUE JULY – DECEMBER 2020 Greetings from Osprey! The second half of 2020 sees a host of fantastic titles coming out from both established Osprey authors and new contributors alike. In September, we are publishing The English Civil War: An Atlas and Concise History of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms 1639–51 (p.1), a highly detailed cartographic survey of the epic struggle between Parliamentarians and Royalists from award-winning historian Col Nick Lipscombe. The same month also sees the publication of Tory Failmezger’s Rome – City in Terror (p.1), which pulls together the many strands of the story of Rome under nine months of German occupation from 1943 to 1944. We have two other new World War II titles publishing in the autumn, with Tom Cleaver’s I Will Run Wild (p.2) vividly recounting the early history of the Pacific War from the surprise Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor to the dramatic American victory at Midway. Prit Buttar also concludes his epic trilogy detailing the fighting in the Ukraine with The Reckoning (p.2), which describes the gruelling German retreat from advancing Soviet forces in a campaign that set the scene for the final act of the war on the Eastern Front. One of our best-selling publications, The Boys of ’67 (p.3), is reborn as a graphic novel that tells the story both of Charlie Company’s brutal experiences in Vietnam as well as the challenges faced by the wives, girlfriends and families left behind. In Mutiny on the Spanish Main (p.4) renowned naval historian Angus Konstam looks at the bloodiest mutiny in British naval history aboard HMS Hermione in 1782.
