A SHORT HISTORY OF THE CHIEF CAMPAIGNS IN EUROPE SINCE 1792. By
General A. von Horsetzky, G.O.C. the 1st Austro-Hungarian Army Corps
and the Troops in Cracow. Translated by Lieutenant K. B. Ferguson,
R.G.A. With numerous Maps and Plans. Demy Svo. 18s. net.
"We have nothing but praise for Gen. von Horsetzky's book. It is a
valuable addition to military literature, for we do not know where
else, in such form, records of so many campaigns can be studied. The
work of translation and condensation has been admirably done. The
merit of the book is its extreme clearness and known accuracy ... those
who desire to gain a correct idea of modern military history will find
the book invaluable."--Army and Navy Gazette.
RASPLATA (The Reckoning). By Commander Wladimir Semenoff. His Diary
during the Blockade of Port Arthur and the Voyage of the Fleets under
Admiral Rojdestvensky. With Maps. Demy Svo. 10s. 6d. net.
"Commander Semenoff writes only of what he knows and has seen. His
simple candour and cool intrepidity enable him to record his
experiences at the moment in the most appalling scenes of naval
conflict that modern times have known."--Times.
"An authentic record of the highest value, which is likely to become a
classic among naval annals."--Westminster Gazette.
THE RUSSIAN ARMY AND THE JAPANESE WAR. Being Historical and Critical
Comments on the Military Policy and Power of Russia and on the Campaign
in the Far East. By General Kuropatkin. Translated by Captain A. B.
Lindsay. Edited by Major E. D. Swinton, D.S.O., R.E. With Maps and
Illustrations. 2 Vols. Demy 8vo. 28s. net.
"... We doubt if a more virile or sincere document was ever put before
the public, and it says little for the official wisdom of General
Kuropatkin's fellow-countrymen that such a record should have been
suppressed in the land of its origin. In England, at any rate, the
patent honesty and abundant good feeling of these measured criticisms
will be valued at their proper worth."--Daily Telegraph.
THE TRUTH ABOUT PORT ARTHUR. By Monsieur E. K. Nojine, accredited
Russian War Correspondent during the Siege. Translated and Abridged by
Captain A. B. Lindsay. Edited by Major E. D. Swinton, D.S.O. With Map
and Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 15s. net.
"M. Nojine is unusually well qualified to offer testimony on the long
beleaguerment. He writes with vivacity and force, and the translation
is competent and spirited, both on account of its vivid narrative and
by reason of the extraordinary revelations it contains.... It is the
most remarkable book about the war yet issued."--Times.
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE SECOND AFGHAN WAR, 1878-1880. Produced in the
Intelligence Branch, Army Headquarters, India. Abridged Official
Account. With numerous Maps and Illustrations. Medium 8vo. 21s. net.
