'A valuable contribution to this ever-growing series.' - Ron Field in Military Illustrated reviewing Screaming Eagles: The 101st Airborne Division from D-Day to Desert Storm by Christopher J. Anderson.
'A good read ... one of most interesting campaigns of the Second World War.' - Colonel A. J. Pinion, CBE, MA, in the Journal of the Royal Artillery reviewing The German View of the Battle of the Bulge edited by Danny S. Parker.
'This is a companion volume to Panzers and Artillery in World War II with the same high standards of research ... At £35 this is not cheap. But it is another invaluable source for extended research into the progression of the German Army at this time.' - Colonel A. J. Pinion, CBE, MA, in the Journal of the Royal Artillery reviewing The German Order of Battle in World War II by George F. Nafziger.
'We are presented with an absorbing account which provides more insight about the intimate detail about life with the Fuhrer than many another ... It is our good fortune that the late Nicolaus von Below miraculously survived Hitler's ruthlessness and the Bomb Plot attempt to kill Hitler (and the author) on 20 July 1944. Otherwise we would not, even belatedly, have been made privy to these important memoirs.' - Kenneth Macksey in Tank: The Journal of the Royal Tank Regiment reviewing At Hitler's Side: The Memoirs of Hitler's Adjutant 1937-1945 by Nicolaus von Below.
'Immediate, direct and compelling. His account, one of the few by a member of a glider regiment, is a brutal insight into the battlefields of World War II and a vivid creation of just what life was like in an elite unit. From the horror of D-Day and the despair of captivity, to personal recollections of ordinary men in an extraordinary conflict, this memoir tells the story of one man's total war. The author writes in an easy to follow engaging manner: I thoroughly enjoyed this unusual book and can recommend it.' - Gun Mart reviewing Fighting with the Screaming Eagles - With the 101st Airborne Division from Normandy to Bastogne by Robert Bowen.
'This is another book in the excellent Greenhill Military Manuals series ... this small volume brings you right up to date with modern small arms and gives the reader a chance to obtain current information at a competitive price. Excellent value for money.' - Gun Mart reviewing Small Arms Pistols and Rifles by Ian V. Hogg.
'Completes the most comprehensive organisational study of the German military machine.' - Gun Mart reviewing The German Order of Battle: Waffen SS and Other Units in World War II by George F. Nafziger. 'This is a dramatic story of endurance under terrible conditions based on eyewitness reports and contemporary documents ... Ian Bennett's vivid account of the 1880 battle during which some two hundred British soldiers and a handful of civilians defended a makeshift fort the size of a tennis court.' - Military Heritage (USA) reviewing A Rain of lead: The Siege and Surrender of the British at Potchefstroom by Ian Bennett.
'This is another publishing triumph for Greenhill and a treasure trove for gun lovers ... the outstanding feature of this work, besides the enormous research involved, is the superlative quality of the photography and the colour reproduction. Although not intended as a coffee table book, the cover alone invites, and perhaps incites, random browsing which leads to painless assimilation concerning history, products, and gunmaking achievements. - Syd Wygzell in Sabretache: The Journal and Proceedings of the Military Historical Society of Australia reviewing The World of Beretta: An International Legend by R. L. Wilson.
'This is another great idea from Greenhill: a paperback edition of their highly regarded reference work on Lugers ... the reliability of that book has been reinforced by the test of time.' - Syd Wygzell in Sabretache: The Journal and Proceedings of the Military Historical Society of Australia reviewing The Luger Story: The Standard History of the World's Most Famous Handgun by John Walter.
'This book provides an excellent guide for the novice or the experienced collector.' - Syd Wygzell in Sabretache: The Journal and Proceedings of the Military Historical Society of Australia reviewing The International Militaria Collector's Guide by Irene Moore and Gary Stern.
'Now this is want we want! Over seventy pages of pure quality modelling reference, diorama inspiration and historical images, all in one book ... an unmissable volume for armour modellers with plenty of diorama inspiration.' - Tamiya Model Magazine reviewing German Armoured Units at Arnhem, September 1944 (Concord Publications).
