OSPREY WARRIOR 47: BRITISH RIFLEMAN 1797 - 1815
by Philip Haythornthwaite and Illustrated by Christa Hook

The rifle corps of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars were among the most recognisable of all the soldiers of that era: their distinctive dark green uniforms were as familiar as some of their exploits. They achieved considerable fame through the large numbers of memoirs written by members of the rifle corps as well as through modern fiction, most notably the Sharpe series. Apart from their reputation as a corps d'elite, the riflemen were, in their time, at the very cutting edge of military technology and tactical theory. Philip Haythornwaite uses first hand accounts and detailed research to give a 'soldier's-eye view' of the British Rifleman, his life and work.

OSPREY WARRIOR 9: LATE ROMAN INFANTRYMAN AD 236-565
by Simon MacDowall and Illustrator Gerry Embleton

Between the 3rd and 6th centuries AD the traditional legions of heavy infantry were whittled away and eventually replaced by a force of various arms and nationalities dominated by cavalry and supported by missile troops. However, in spite of this trend towards cavalry, the Pedes remained the backbone of the Roman Army until well into the 5th century. This book details a warrior who was very different from the legionary who preceded him; in many ways he was more flexible - ready for deployment to trouble spots, and for fighting both as a skirmisher and a heavy infantryman.

OSPREY WARRIOR 19: BRITISH REDCOAT 1740-93
by Stuart Reid and Illustrator Richard Hook

From 1740 the British army earned itself a formidable reputation as a fighting force. However, due to its role as a police force at home, and demonisation by American propaganda, the army was viewed at home as a penal institution run by aristocratic dilettantes. This view is challenged by Stuart Reid, who paints a picture of an increasingly professional force. It was an important time of change and improvement for the British Army, and this book provides a comprehensive account of the lives, conditions and experiences of the late 18th-century infantryman.

OSPREY WARRIOR 42: REDCOAT OFFICER 1740-1815
by Stuart Reid and Gerry Embleton

The commissioned officer ranks in the British Army from 1740-1815 were almost entirely composed of the affluent and educated - the sons of the landed gentry and the wealthy. This title looks at the enlistment, training, daily life and combat experiences of the typical British officer in the crucial periods of the North American conflicts, the American Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars. It compliments the author's previous treatments in the Warrior Series on British Redcoats which deal exclusively with the common infantryman.

OSPREY NEW VANGUARD 169: US FAST BATTLESHIPS 1936-47, THE NORTH CAROLINA AND SOUTH DAKOTA CLASSES
by Lawrence Burr

This volume details the design, construction, and operation of the first six of the ten US fast battleships, two of the North Carolina class and four of the South Dakota class. These six battleships were all authorized in 1936 and were the first vessels built in the US since 1923. Consequently, these ships benefitted from enormous technological leaps, with improvements in ship design, power, armor, armament and the single most important improvement the use of radar guided fire control helping to change the course of the war in the Pacific. Packed with first-hand accounts, battle reports, and specially created artwork this book tells the story of these war-winning vessels.

OSPREY NEW VANGUARD 172: US FAST BATTLESHIPS 1938-91, THE IOWA CLASS
by Lawrence Burr

In 1938, the United States abandoned the constraints imposed by the Washington Teaty and began work on a new class of super-battleships. This book covers the design, construction, and employment of the four Iowa-class battleships, the largest in the American fleet. During World War II, they served as guards for the aircraft carriers and their bombardments provided cover for the numerous landings in the Pacific. At the war's end, the Japanese signed their surrender on the decks of an Iowa-class battleship, the USS Missouri. After World War II, the ships continued to serve, providing support during Korea, Vietnam, and even the first Gulf War. This book tells the full story of the greatest of the American battleships.

OSPREY FORTRESS 60: THE FORTS OF THE MEUSE IN WORLD WAR I
by Clayton Donnell

On 29 October, 1891, the new forts built around the cities of Liège and Namur were turned over to the Belgian Army. This huge project produced 21 modern forts to defend the strategic rail, river and road arteries in the Oise and Condroz gaps. In August 1914, the German Army attempted a quick crossing of this area in order to reach France, but it took them 12 crucial days to destroy the fortresses. Containing maps, diagrams and photographs taken from private collections, this book explores the design, development and influence of the forts, highlighting the importance of their role during the opening battle of World War I.

OSPREY FORTRESS 28: FORTS OF THE AMERICAN FRONTIER 1820-91
by Ron Field and Illustrator Adam Hook

A major period of westward expansion took place in the United States during the first half of the 19th century. Fur trading, the coast-to-coast railroad, the California gold rush and the removal of Native American tribes facilitated America's manifest destiny to become a transcontinental nation. The task of protecting the settlers from the tribes that inhabited the Great Plains fell to the US Army, and to do this an extensive network of permanent forts was created. This book examines why the forts were built, as well as their design, defensive features and the role they played in the settlement of the American West.
