The break of the German battleship
Bismarck into the North Atlantic in May 1941 was
one of the most dramatic episodes of World War II.
It began with a battle between the Bismarck and the
British battleship Prince of Wales and the heavy
cruiser Hood. The Hood was blown to pieces, while
the battered Prince of Wales managed to escape. The
British then focused all of their resources on hunting
the might German battleship and eventually brought
her down.

British Aircraft
Carriers 1939-45
Paperback: 48 pages
Publisher: Osprey Publishing
Language English
ISBN-13: 978-1849080798
With war against Germany looming, Britain pushed forward its carrier program in the late 1930s. In 1938, the Royal Navy launched the HMS Ark Royal, its first-ever purpose-built aircraft carrier. This was quickly followed by others, including the highly-successful Illustrious class. Smaller and tougher than their American cousins, the British carriers were designed to fight in the tight confines of the North Sea and the Mediterranean. Over the next six years, these carriers battled the Axis powers in every theatre, attacking Italian naval bases, hunting the Bismark, and even joining the fight in the Pacific. This book tells the story of the small, but resilient, carriers and the crucial role they played in the British war effort.

Horatio Nelson
Paperback: 64 pages
Publisher: Osprey (20 July 2011)
Language
English ISBN-10: 1849084955
ISBN-13: 978-1849084956
The most famous admiral in history,
Horatio Nelson's string of naval victories helped
secure Britain's place as the world's dominant maritime
power, a position she held for more than a century
after Nelson's death. A young officer during the
American Revolution, Nelson rose to prominence during
Britain's war with Revolutionary France, becoming
a hero at the battle of Cape St. Vincent. He went
on to win massive victories at the Nile and Copenhagen,
before leading the British to their historic victory
at Trafalgar in 1805. But, in that moment of his
greatest glory, Nelson was struck down by a French
sharpshooter. Today Nelson is revered as an almost
mythical figure - a naval genius and a national hero.
He was also a deeply flawed individual whose vanity,
ego and private life all threatened to overshadow
his immense abilities. This book reveals the real
Nelson.

Paperback: 64 pages

Language
English ISBN-10: 1849083614
ISBN-13: 978-1849083614
John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough,
is one of the great commanders of history. Using
his great charm and diplomatic skills he was able
to bind troops from various European states into
a cohesive army that won a string of victories over
the French armies of King Louis XIV, the first of
which was perhaps his most spectacular triumph -
the battle of Blenheim. Other great victories followed,
but political and social turmoil proved harder opponents
to defeat. This book provides a detailed look at
the many highs and lows in the career of the most
successful British general of his era.

Poltava, 1709:
Russia Comes of Age
Paperback: 96 pages (also available
in hardback)
Publisher: Osprey Publishing (17 Oct 1994)
Language English
ISBN-10: 1855324164
ISBN-13: 978-1855324169
Poltava marked the demise of Sweden as a European
great power and the rise of Russia. In 1707,
the seemingly invincible Charles XII led his
army deep into Russia. It was to prove his undoing
- the long march eroded the fighting strength
of the invaders; a vital supply convoy was lost;
and the winter of 1708/9 was the worst in living
memory. Although the great Northern War was to
drag on for another twelve years, after 1709
Sweden was isolated and on the strategic defensive.
Within a year both Saxony-Poland and Denmark
would rejoin the anti-Swedish cause, and the
capture of Vyborg to the north of St. Petersburg
and Riga to the south would ensure the safety
of Tsar Peter's fledgling European capital -
all results of the battle. In this Osprey Campaign
title, Angus Konstam recounts the events leading
up to Poltava and looks in particular at how
this battle led to the destruction of the Swedish
Army. As part of his investigation both armies
and their commanders are examined carefully.
Fluency in Russian allowed author Angus Konstam
to visit the country regularly and gain access
to primary source material previously unseen
in the west: hard work which has made this account
of Poltava stand out.

Scapa Flow:
The Defences of Britain's Great Fleet Anchorage 1914-45
Paperback: 64 pages
Publisher: Osprey Publishing
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1846033667
ISBN-13: 978-1846033667
A strategically important natural
harbor in the Orkney Islands, Scapa Flow served as
Britain's main fleet anchorage during World Wars
I and II. It held Jellicoe's Grand Fleet from 1914-18,
and it was from here that it sailed out to do battle
with the Germans at Jutland in 1916. In 1914 the
British began building a comprehensive defensive
network by fortifying the entrances to Scapa Flow
and then extending these defenses to cover most of
Orkney. These static defenses were augmented with
boom nets, naval patrols and minefields, creating
the largest fortified naval base in the world. With
the outbreak of the Second World War, Scapa Flow
again proved ideally situated to counter the German
naval threat and served as the base for Britain's
Home Fleet. Despite constant attacks from aircraft
and U-boats, one of which managed to sink the British
battleship Royal Oak, the defenses of Scapa Flow
were again augmented and improved. By 1940, Orkney
had become an island fortress, the largest integrated
defensive network of its kind in Europe, manned by
as many as 50,000 Commonwealth troops. Backed by
newly commissioned artwork, naval historian Angus
Konstam tells the story of this mighty naval fortress,
many pieces of which can still be seen on the island
today.

Scourge of the
Seas:
Buccaneers, Pirates and Privateers
Hardcover: 240 pages
Publisher: Osprey (10 Mar 2007)
Language English
ISBN-10: 1846032113
ISBN-13: 978-1846032110
In their heyday, the sight of
a pirate ship on the horizon would strike terror
into the hearts of their intended victims. The colorful
yet fearsome reputation of the pirate still resonates
today and the sight of the skull and crossbones retains
its thrilling power. The lives of the most famous
of their brethren have been immortalized, initially
in the pamphlets of the time, now in movies and books.
Telling the full story of piracy from the "buccaneering
era" of the 17th century to the last great
piratical wave of the early 19th century, this
book explores the generally short and bloody life
of the pirate, detailing his ship, weaponry, and
codes of behaviour, as well as his most famous
exploits. It is the gripping tale of the violent
and deadly brigands who roamed the high seas in
search of plunder.

"The Spanish Armada":
The Great Enterprise Against England 1588
Paperback: 224 pages
Publisher: Osprey Publishing
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1846034965
ISBN-13: 978-1846034961
With the launch of the Spanish Armada in 1588, England
suffered its greatest threat since the Norman invasion
some 500 years before. The Spanish King, Philip II
had devised a complex plan whereby the armada would
sail up the English Channel, pick up the Spanish
Army of Flanders on the French coast and ferry them
across to England.
In response, Elizabeth I launched her fleet of Sea
Dogs to counter the threat. Led by colorful characters
like Sir Francis Drake, the English surprised the
Spanish Armada at its anchorage at Gravelines, preventing
their rendezvous and forcing a full retreat. Naval
expert Angus Konstam details the background to the
campaign, the opposing fleets, and the whole campaign,
including the Armada's disastrous return voyage around
Scotland and Ireland that became one of the most
tragic episodes in maritime history. Fully illustrated
with photographs, maps and artwork, this book is
a action-packed account of one of the best known
naval campaigns in world history.
