THE FURTHEST GARRISON: IMPERIAL REGIMENTS
                                                                      IN NEW ZEALAND 1840-1870

by Adam Davis





This new book focuses on Imperial Forces in New Zealand, with particular reference to Auckland. Existing work has focused solely on the conduct of the New Zealand (Maori) Wars between 1846 and 1866. There is an additional unexplored aspect of the conflict in terms of its impact upon the garrison and, in turn, its impact upon the civilian population. Auckland was the hub of the British military presence in New Zealand and the barracks played an integral part in local colonial society from sports to the provisioning of regimental supplies. Civil-military relations also encompassed the provision of aid to the civil power, while the discipline and health of the garrison also had the capacity to impact upon civilians.

MILITARY HISTORY OF LATE ROME 395-425

by Ilka Syvanne 






An ambitious series giving the reader a comprehensive narrative of late Roman military history from 284-641. Each volume provides a detailed account of the changes in organization, equipment, strategy and tactics among both the Roman forces and her enemies in the relevant period, whilst giving a detailed account of the campaigns and battles. This volume covers the period from Julian's accession as sole Emperor in 361 to the permanent division of the Empire into East and West on death of Theodosius I. It encompasses significant defeats for Rome against very different enemies: Julian's expedition against the Sassanid Persians and Valen's defeat by the Goths at Adrianople, both emperors being killed.
