 | Waffen SS
Nazi Germany's Waffen-SS (translated, Armed SS ) was one of the most brutal, fanatical, and feared military organizations in history. Beginning as a modest, select band assigned to protect Adolf Hitler, by the end of World War II, the Waffen-SS numbered nearly on million men representing dozens of nationalities. Containing more than 500 previously unpublished photographs, most taken from the private collections of former Waffen-SS soldiers, this book examines the groups beginnings and all of the battles it fought during World War II. Waffen-SS: The Illustrated History recreates with period photography all aspects of Waffen-SS warfare: battlefield tactics, recruitment and organization, weapons and equipment, and renowned commanders, as well as their stunning battlefield achievements and heinous war crimes.

 | Partisans & Redcoats by Walter B. Edgar
This history of the American Revolution focuses on the war in the South and in particular South Carolina, where the British encountered a very violent and able resistance that fought differently from them. Historian Edgar places this conflict in a larger context of violence within the Carolina community, and shows the terrible toll that this rampant violence took on the locals. He also sees this conflict as a harbinger of the devastation to come later during the American Civil War. AUTHOR: Walter B. Edgar
