Featured battle : Feistritz/Rosenthal
Part of The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars
Date : 06 September 1812
The French were attempting to secure their communications with their southern wing in Slovenia. The Austrians set up this strongly fortified position but were too few in numbers to protect their flanks. [Both sets of casualty figures are suspect, given the French officer casualties one would expect their overall figure to be much higher]

Wrecked Iraqi T72 Tank
The wreck of an Iraqi T72 tank following the US left flanking attack into the Iraqi desert to surround and destroy Sadaam Hussein's Republican Guard units. The detail shows the damage caused by the depleted uranium tipped APFSDS (Sabot) rounds fired by tanks like the Abrams. It only shows a small puncture in the armour, but nothing within the tank would survive the resultant internal explosion.

Nelson's Navy
Brian Lavery
I am tempted to write a very short review. This book is a masterpiece!
The author himself says that this book does not exhaust the subject but I defy any reader to ask a question this book does not answer; masses of drawings, photographs and pictures round out the text. The book is big, beautiful and is a must for any Napoleonic historian's and interested general reader's bookshelf.
Don't just take my word for it Patrick O'Brian, in the introduction, is full of high praise for the author's achievement.
