In September 1854, French troops landed in Crimea, seeking alongside British, Ottoman and Sardinian forces to capture the port city of Sevastopol from the Russian Army. The battles of Alma, Balaklava and Inkerman ensued, with Sevastopol under siege for nearly a year before its capture. The French forces involved in the Crimea are described and depicted in this fully illustrated account.

The Hitlerjugend 1926–45

Composed of youths aged 10 to 18, the Hitlerjugend was Nazi Germany’s sole official boys’ organization from 1936 until the regime’s defeat in 1945. Increasingly focused on military training, the Hitlerjugend manned an entire Panzer division and participated in the last-ditch defence of the Reich. All aspects of the organization’s structure, roles and appearance are covered in this study.

Air Forces of the Korean War 1950–53

The air forces striving for control of Korea’s skies in 1950–53 flew an array of cutting-edge aircraft including jets and helicopters, with not just North Korean and Chinese but also Soviet pilots pitted against the United Nations aviators, among them the US Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps and Britain’s Royal Air Force. This book documents the airmen’s organization and appearance.

The Armed Forces of Iran since 1988

Since the end of the Iran–Iraq War the various parts of Iran’s armed forces have undergone profound changes. As well as the Army, which includes ground troops, navy, air force and air-defence units, Iran has the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which incorporates the Basij, a paramilitary volunteer force. This study covers the evolving appearance of all parts of Iran’s military.

NATO Armies since 1991 (1): Northern Europe and North America

Since 1991, the armed forces of NATO have multiplied as new countries have joined the alliance. This study assesses the NATO contributions made by founder members Canada, the United States, Denmark and Norway alongside those of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania (all joined 2004), Finland (2023) and Sweden (2024), with an emphasis on NATO troops involved in active service overseas.
