Continue | This Month Featured Publisher Osprey Osprey Publishing has been providing books for enthusiasts since 1968 and since then it has grown, evolved and taken on new challenges until it stands today as one of the most successful examples of niche publishing around. It was originally owned by Berkshire Printing, part of Brooke Bond, the tea company. The company was formed to publish Aircam Aviation, its first series, the brainchild of Dick Ward, the leading aviation illustrator. The series grew out of his work on the collectible cards which were then packaged with Brooke Bond tea. The first Osprey book was published in 1969: Aircam Aviation Series.1: North American P-51D Mustang in USAAF-USAF Service. This set the Osprey style of illustrated information books combining detailed and authoritative text, colour and black & white artwork, and photographs in uniform series formats. Martin Windrow remembers that in 1974 he 'was wondering if Men-at-Arms might last another year'. Three decades later, well over 400 titles have been published in that series, and the whole Osprey list now totals nearly 1,500. The central mission is unchanged. Osprey will continue to bring together expert authors and illustrators and military-history enthusiasts by delivering the information readers need to increase their knowledge and to enrich their leisure or professional pursuits. Osprey's enthusiasm for military history is balanced by an equal enthusiasm for excellent publishing. Introducing selected titles:  Hitler’s Armies: A History of the German War Machine 1939-45 by Chris McNab published by Osprey in 2012. Hitler believed that his political skills were matched by unique ability as a strategic commander. His increasing influence on the Wehrmacht’s conduct of WWII eventually proved to be disastrous. This account is about the development of Hitler’s land forces from their days of victory in 1039 and 1940 to their final devastation in 1945. This book shows how the German Army and related groups earned their reputation, and the extent to which it was justified. Chris McNab is an author and editor who has also written extensively for major encyclopedias.  SAS in World War II: An Illustrated History by Gavin Mortimer published by Osprey in 2011. This deluxe account recreates the days during the summer of 1941. Then, a young Scots Guard officer called David Stirling persuaded MEHQ to give its backing to a small band of 60 men christened ‘L. Detachment’. Beautifully illustrated, this book captures the danger and excitement of the initial SAS raids against Axis airfields during the Desert War, the battles in Italy and more. Gavin Mortimer is the author and contributor to many newspapers and magazines. Knight: The Warrior and World of Chivalry by Robert Jones published by Osprey in 2011. The knight had rich and vibrant culture, he was literate and intellectual. Many knights were writers, and have left us with tales of great deeds or chronicles of the events they had witnessed and people the knew. Others produced legal and religious discourses which show a contemplative and sensitive nature that belies the brutality of their vocation. This beautifully illustrated account explores the milieu of the medieval warrior. Robert Jones is the author and Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute for Medieval Studies, University of Leeds, and more. The Road to Victory: From Pearl Harbor to Okinawa by Robert O'Nell with foreword by Dale Dye published by Osprey in 2011. This book examines the complex series of events leading up to the attack of December 7, 1941. On December 7, 147, Japanese fight-planes appeared above Pearl Harbor and fundamentally changed the course of history. With this one surprise attack, the previously isolated America was irrevocably thrown into the fray and WWII had began. You will study and evaluate the expert views set forth in the book's chapters that reveal the horror of battle and the Allien's grim, yet historic determination to wrest victory from what often seemed to be certain defeat. Always Faithful: U.S. Marines in World War II Combat: The 100 Best Photos by Eric Hammel published by Osprey in 2011. The concept of combat photographer - the worldview, the name, and the training to go with it - did not really emerge in the field until November and December 1943, at Bougainville, Cape Gloucester, and Tarawa. This beautiful account includes 100 photos from the Pacific Theater of operations during WWII. Each image was carefully selected and shown with explanation, describing time and place. Eric Hammel is a professional military historian who appeared in numerous TV documentaries on Marine Corps operations in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and Beirut. Continue |
