CONQUER OR DIE!

by Ben Hughes

Wellington’s Veterans and the Liberation of the New World. In the aftermath of Waterloo, over 6,000 British volunteers sailed across the Atlantic to aid Simon Bolivar in his liberation of Gran Columbia from her oppressors in Madrid. The expeditions were plagued with disaster from the start, one ship sank shortly after leaving Portsmouth with the loss of almost 200 lives. Those who reached the New World faced disease, wild animals, mutiny and desertion, and conditions on campaign were appalling. Nevertheless, those who endured made key contributions to Bolivar’s success.

THE GREAT SIEGE OF MALTA

by Bruce Ware Allen 

The Epic Battle between the Ottoman Empire and the Knights of St. John. In the spring of 1565, a massive fleet of Ottoman ships descended on Malta, centrally located between North Africa and Sicily, headquarters of the Knights of St. John and their Grand Master, Jean de Valette. The Knights had been expelled from Rhodes by the Ottoman sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, and now stood as the last bastion against a Muslim invasion of Sicily, southern Italy, and beyond. The siege force of Turks, Arabs, and Barbary corsairs from across the Muslim world outnumbered the defenders of Malta many times over.

THE DEFENCE OF SEVASTOPOL 1941-1942

by Clayton Donnell 

An account from the Soviet Perspective. In December 1941 the offensives of the German Army Groups North and Centre were stalled in the mud and cold of the Russian winter. But in the Crimea the German Eleventh Army encircled the vast fortress of Sevastopol, launching massive combined air, artillery and land attacks against the heavily defended positions. The forts and bunkers defending the city had to be taken one by one and casualties on both sides were severe. This brutal struggle went on for over six months.
