Subtitled
'Subversion, Insurgency, and Peacekeeping', this is a reprint of
Sir Frank Kitson's acclaimed work. When the book was first
published in the 1970s, the US was losing an insurgency in
Vietnam, and Great Britain was in its final stages as a colonial
power. By that point, Britain had participated in more than 30 low
intensity operations, and had been unsuccessful in most of them.
Kitson, a veteran of many, decided to put his thoughts on paper as
to how he thought these battles could be won.

OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES 22:
IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY ACES, 1937-45
by Henry Sakaida
The outcome of the Pacific War was heavily influenced by the
naval battles between the Imperial Japanese fleet and the US Navy.
One of the key elements was Japan's large fighter component, which
had gained experience over Manchuria, China and Mongolia in the
late 1930s. Manufacturer Mitsubishi derived much from these
campaigns, producing one of the best fighters of WWII, the A6M
Zero-Sen. Navy pilots proved to be highly skilled when engaged by
Allied flyers, with pilots such as Nishizawa, Sagita and Sakai
scoring more than 60 kills apiece.
