THE ELEVENTH DAY: THE ULTIMATE ACCOUNT OF 9/11

by Anthony Summers & Robbyn Swan


This must be the definitive account   of 9/11. The shockwaves of the September 11, 2001 attacks in America reverberate to this day. Though Osama Bin Laden has been killed, questions remain. What exactly happened? Could 9/11 have been prevented? How and why did so much acrimony and misinformation arise from the ashes of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a quiet field in Pennsylvania? And what has yet to be revealed? The Eleventh Day, written with access to thousands of recently released official documents, is updated for this edition −and reports on a development which the former chairman of Congress' 9/11 probe describes as the "most important in years".

A HISTORY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN AIR WAR, 1940-1945:
                                    VOLUME THREE. TUNISIA AND THE END IN AFRICA

by Christopher Shores & Giovanni Massimello

The third volume in this series returns to November 1942 to explain the background to the first major Anglo-American venture − Operation Torch, the invasion of French North Africa. It deals with the fratricidal combats which followed the initial landings in Morocco and Algeria for several days. It then considers the efforts made − unsuccessfully in the event − to reach northern Tunisia before the Germans and Italians could get there to forestall the possibility of an attack from the west on the rear of the Afrika Korps forces, then beginning their retreat from El Alamein. Co-authored by Russell Guest, Frank Olynyk and Winfried Bock.

THREE WINGS FOR THE RED BARON

by Leon Bennett


Von Richthofen: Strategy, Tactics and Airplanes. Explores the career of Manfred von Richthofen, top fighter pilot in the German Luftwaffe during the First World War, and tells the story of his famous three-winged airplane, the Fokker Triplane. Trained for the cavalry, he switched to the Air Service when machine guns doomed the fate of the horse soldier: if he were to die, it must not be a pointless death. As a flier, having to overcome a lack of talent for aerobatic maneuvering, he chose the duel as a role model: pilot versus pilot. He learned that much could be achieved with a powerful single-seater machine against a low powered and poorly maneuvering enemy two-seater. This became Richthofen's preferred form of combat, leading to an extraordinary series of victories.
