1.		World War I from Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd Price: $97.72 Customer Review: I just started teaching a World Wars class. I chose this book to use as the text for our WWI unit. It has so much info as well as visuals that my students kept calling it the "fun" textbook.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		The Last Century of Sea Power, Volume 1: From Port Arthur to Chanak, 1894--1922 from Indiana University Press Price: $19.95 Customer Review: Willmott commences with a long preface that seems self-indulgent until one realizes he needs to describe the unorthodox motivation and organization of the book. He treats history as explanation. The dry, accepted timelines are relegated to notes pages at the end of each section. This allows him... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		World War II from DK ADULT Price: $12.76 Customer Review: More of a coffee table reference book than a book that can be read with any type of continuity. Nice illustrations.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Barrier and the Javelin: Japanese and Allied Strategies, February to June 1942 from Naval Institute Press Price: $17.58 Customer Review: H. P. Willmott has written three books of analysis on the critical first two years of the war between Japan and the Allied powers, including "Empires in the Balance", this one, and "The War with Japan". Of the three I think this book is the best. The book covers the naval war between the Allies and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.	[no image]	Empires in the Balance: Japanese and Allied Pacific Strategies to April 1942 from Orbis Pub. Customer Review: Everyone who seriously studies the Pacific War should read this book. First, it is a great read as Willmott writes a narrative that flows ever so smoothly. Like others, I could not put it down. Not only does it read well, but Willmott provides invaluable insights into the making and execution of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		The Last Century of Sea Power, Volume 2: From Washington to Tokyo, 1922--1945 from Indiana University Press Price: $26.37	Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		The War with Japan: The Period of Balance, May 1942DOctober 1943 (Total War Series, Number 1) from SR Books Price: $72.59 Customer Review: This is not your typical book. It is a thesis on the strategy of both opponents in the Pacific. For that, it sheds new light on why the Japanese and Americans did what they did. It talks of what motivated the Japanese to go to war. They wanted to fight the Americans to a draw and keep Asia for... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		The Battle of Leyte Gulf: The Last Fleet Action (Twentieth-Century Battles) from Indiana University Press Price: $19.90 Customer Review: H.P Willmott is a prolific writer of history, and I've read some other things he's written before this, especially "Battleship." I thought they were tough reads, but this one, um, "beggars belief." (If you've read the book, you know what I mean.) I think my own views come down to three... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Hms Warspite: The Story of a Famous Battleship (Classics of Naval Literature) from Naval Institute Press Customer Review: This book is an absolute classic, and this edition is superbly presented. Roskill was writing this history of the Warspite's in the 1950 and as such some views on the histories have changed (Hindsight is a wonderfull thing), and the new introduction to this edition gives a very fair and even... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		World War I from DK Pub.,2006, Price: $8.99 Customer Review: This is the second copy of this book that we have purchased. My husband had a copy but gave it to a grandson who is interested in war history. He stated that he had not found many good books on World War I. He spent a lot of time reading it while he was visiting us at Christmas time and we told him... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
