1.		Knight Hospitaller (1): 1100-1306 (Warrior) from Osprey Publishing Price: $12.89 Customer Review: The Knights Hospitaller is one of the Ospery warrior collection and it is a wealth of information on the who, what, where and why of the Knights Hospitaller, the lesser known but equally important order of knights that fought for the Kingdom of Jerusalem during the Cursades. Do not let the comic... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		The Third Crusade 1191: Richard the Lionheart, Saladin and the battle for Jerusalem (Campaign) from Osprey Publishing Price: $13.57 Customer Review: Really have nothing to say that the previous two reviewers didn't cover. It is the best introduction to Richard Coeur d Leon's war with Salah al-Din, covering the politics of the time as well as some finer details of Richard's battles. The color plates are pretty good.

3.		Macedonian Warrior: Alexander's Elite Infantryman (Warrior) from Osprey Publishing Price: $14.21 Customer Review: The text is adquate, but it's pretty hard to forgive sub-par illustration in an Osprey title. Christa Hook's work is relentlessly dreary. I was never enamored of Angus McBride's moody take on the Macedonian army in Osprey 148 (The Army of Alexander the Great), but aesthetically it's still superior... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		London 1914-17: The Zeppelin Menace (Campaign) from Osprey Publishing Price: $13.57 Customer Review: The text of "London 1914-1917 The Zeppelin Menace" is a thoroughly informative account of Germany's Zeppelin Campaigns against London during WWI. Also included are an abundance of photographs, detailed maps, and dramatic, color illustrations that vividly recreate various quintessential battle... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Malta 1565: Last Battle Of The Crusades (Campaign) from Osprey Publishing Price: $16.95 Customer Review: Mr. Pickles's scholarship aside, the dedication of this book and the afterward reveal a strong bias in favor of the Knights of Malta. The book is dedicated with gushing adoration to Mr. Pickles's father-in-law, who apparently was a modern member of that order. The afterword professes that chivalry... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Knight of Outremer AD 1187-1344 (Warrior) from Osprey Publishing Price: $11.96 Customer Review: This book discusses the military elite of the faltering Catholic Kingdoms of the Middle East following the Battle of Hattin and the capture of Jerusalem by Salah al-Din, as seen in the Kingdom of Heaven.

7.		The Hun: Scourge of God AD 375-565 (Warrior) from Osprey Publishing Price: $14.36 Customer Review: I was very disappointed in this book about the "Neighbors from Hell". The text was so-so but the illustrations were a disappointment. Pity as it (The Subject) is a great theme what with the birth of the Dark Ages and the "Fall" of Rome. That and that symbol of a really bad man - Attila you could of... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		The First Crusade 1096-99: Conquest of the Holy Land (Campaign) from Osprey Publishing Price: $14.78 Customer Review: Being very familliar with the many previous books by David Nicolle I was a little bit apprehensive beginning to read this one, because of his well known anti-Christian and pro-Muslim bias present in many of his older works. Well, all in all I was favorably surprised, because there is a clear effort... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Constantinople 1453: The end of Byzantium (Campaign) from Osprey Publishing Price: $14.96 Customer Review: This is a richly illustrated book on one of the most important events in history-1453. It chronicles the last hours of the once-mighty Byzantine Empire and how its capitol(Constantinople-modern day Istanbul) fell to the Ottoman Turks. Over 96 pages of writings, illustrations, and captions dominate... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces: Uniforms and equipment 1932-45 (Men-at-Arms) from Osprey Publishing Price: $11.96 Customer Review: I only wish the book was longer, but few Japanese every voluntarily surrendered in combat so little in the way of first-person accounts is available for the historian to work with. Anyway, this is an excellent introduction to the Imperial Navy's shock troops in WWII.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
