THE CALL OF DUTY
MILITARY AWARDS & DECORATIONS
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
(NEW EXPANDED EDITION) by LTC. John E.
Strandberg and Roger James Bender. This
monumental work, which has been long outof-print, spans over two centuries and illustrates
in striking color the evolution of U.S. military
decorations from 1782 to the Global War on
Terrorism Service Medal in 2003. In this comprehensive reference, not only are the obverse,
reverse, and appropriate rim markings illustrated in full color, it also states eligibility for
the award and gives historical background. An
added treat are dozens of period photos of the
decorations being worn. This new expanded

and upgrading of photographs, and has 176
more pages than the first edition. With modern digital technology, all medals and ribbons

UNIFORMS, ORGANIZATIONS
& HISTORY OF THE GERMAN POLICE
Volume I by John R. Angolia and Hugh Page
Taylor. The police played a vital role in the Third
Reich, yet have largely been ignored. This first
volume of a multi-volume series on the subject
changes all that. This history of the German
police traces back to the mid-15th Century with
particular attention given to the Weimar and
Third Reich periods. You will now understand
the police mindset, organization and development, plus the evolution of uniforms in Nazi
Germany. This first volume contains details of
the essential June 1936 dress regulations. A dayto-day chronology of the part played by the
police in the Third Reich is also given. All this is
contained in 704 fact-packed pages. And all this
encyclopedic coverage is found in just the first
volume of the long awaited series! At least two
other fully illustrated volumes will follow, covering all aspects and branches of the police in
Nazi Germany and her collaborationist allies in
great detail, to include uniforms, insignia, flags,
edged weapons and all other paraphernalia.
Hardbound with deluxe binding, 704 pages,
720 photos & illustrations.

SS STEEL
by Kelly Hicks. The central issue regarding SS
helmets is the huge number of fakes. SS Steel
is intended to assist the collector in determining the fakes from the real thing. It provides
information specific to their paint, decals and
general characteristics. During full-scale production of the M-35 series of helmets, each of the
five German helmet makers installed their own
pattern of SS decal on helmets at the factory.
This trend is evident in about 90 percent of M35 specimens analyzed; 96 percent of M-40 and
M-42 helmets. Examples of dozens of original
helmets show clear evidence of this maker-todecal correlation. For the first time, this relationship has been analyzed and presented. It
will thwart the counterfeiters on a fundamental level. In addition to decal analysis, SS Steel
explores the reuse and reissue of helmets, due
to supply shortages and other factors. Variations, unusual and rare helmets, and foreign
volunteer SS helmets are also explored. Several
helmets are presented with their documented
history, showing how research can be conducted on helmets that bear the name of their
former SS owner. A must-have book for serious
collectors of helmets of Germany’s Third Reich
elite. Hardbound with deluxe binding, 241
pages, 400 full color photos & illustrations.

U.S. ARMY RANGERS
& SPECIAL FORCES OF WORLD WAR II
Their War in Photographs by Robert Todd Ross.
author of The Supercommandos. During World
War II the US Army organized a remarkable array of specialized small units. The ranks of these
forces were filled with men who, by virtue of
their natural aggressiveness and intensive training, possessed diverse war-making skills well
beyond those of standard troops. Tells the story
of the U.S. Army's elite Rangers and Special
Forces largely through pictures. An extensive
search of public and private archives unearthed
many rare and never before seen images, including some in color. Most notable are the
nearly twenty exemplary photographs of Lieutenant Colonel William O. Darby's Ranger Force
in Italy, taken by Robert Capa, considered by
many to be the greatest combat photographer
of all time. Complementing the period photographs are numerous color plates detailing the
rare and often unique items of insignia, weapons, and equipment that marked the soldiers

OUT OF NOWHERE
A History of the Military Sniper by Martin Pegler.
Despite the proven effectiveness of the rifleman
in battle, for most of the 20th century snipers
were regarded as little more than paid assassins. It was not until the Vietnam War that the
undeniable effectiveness of the sniper was fully
appreciated by the military, and with the advent of the 21st century the sniper has become
a vital battlefield specialist. This chronological
study of snipers details their evolution, training, weaponry and tactics. Includes interviews
with the veteran snipers whose skills and courage have made them greatly feared. Contents
include:The Rifleman Emerges. 1500-1854,
American Civil War and European Wars 18541914, World War One, the Watershed, 19141916, World War One, the Fight Back 19161930, Russian Sniping. 1926-1945, Eastern

The Autobiography of the Top-Ranked Marine
Sniper by Jack Coughlin. With more than 60
confirmed kills, Jack Coughlin is the Marine
Corps' top-ranked sniper. This is his first-person account of a sniper's life on and off the
modern battlefield. He joined the Marines at
age 19 and would spend the next 20 years behind the scope. He achieved one of the most
successful sniper records in the Corps, ranging
through many of the world's hotspots. During
Operation Iraqi Freedom alone, he recorded at
least 36 kills, 13 of them in a single 24 hour
period. Now Coughlin takes readers deep inside an invisible society that is off-limits to outsiders. Not a heroic battlefield memoir, but the
careful study of an exceptional man who must
keep his sanity while carrying forward one of
the deadliest legacies in the U.S. military today. Hardbound, 320 pages, photos.

FOR GERMANY
The Otto Skorzeny Memoirs, ed. by Craig W.H.
Luther, Ph.D. & Hugh Page Taylor. Otto
Skorzeny only rose to the rank of Colonel in
the SS, yet is one of the best known and colorful figures of the Third Reich, in large part because of the faith Hitler had in the tall Austrian
engineer. Many books have been written about
his career, to include autobiographies, but before he died in 1975 he personally entrusted
Bender Publishing with the formidable task of
producing the most detailed, up-dated and best
illustrated version of his incredible life story. A
quarter of a century later, after painstaking research into the text and a hunt for unpublished
illustrations, the ultimate story of “Scarface”
Skorzeny, “the most dangerous man in Europe”
and Hitler's “commando extraordinary” is finally available. Complete with an exhaustive
index, providing biographical details not found
in the text, this is likely to be the last word on
this larger than life personality, one of the great
characters of World War II. 528 pages, 248

corps of men and women trained and equipped

of the Royal Irish Constabulary at the time of
Partition, the RUC's history was a turbulent one

the civil population it was determined to protect. The RUC not only had to perform normal
police duties but contain the ever present IRA
threat. Hardbound, 300 pages, illustrations.

suddenly highlighted by the capture of eleven
British soldiers by a notorious militia gang in
Sierra Leone. The successful rescue mission
spearheaded by the SAS and Parachute Regiment makes for a great tale. Softbound, 224

THE INSURRECTION IN MESOPOTAMIA, 1920
Reprint of Lieutenant General Sir Aylmer
Haldane's "The Insurrection in Mesopotamia,
1920". First published in 1922, this is the story
of the revolt of Shite Muslims in Iraq during
the summer and fall of 1920. The author, commander of the IV Corps on the Western Front
for three years, was both the military and civil
head of British forces in Iraq and Persia. When
the revolt broke out in May 1920 at Tel Afar, he
was faced with 130,000 armed men against a
very small British and Indian Army garrison. His
successes have been noted by British and American commanders currently serving in that country. There are chapters on the relief operations
at Raumaithah, Kufah, and Samawah and other
combat operations at Hellah and Dwaniyah plus
much more. Of particular importance is the
background of the revolt, factors which still
impact Iraq today, and the conclusions he presents for warfare in that country. Hardbound,
352 pages, 60 photos, 10 maps.

WAR OF THE RUNNING DOGS
Malaya 1948-1960 by David Donovan. In 1948
war returned to Malaya. The Chinese-backed
guerrillas called it the War of the Running Dogs
- their contemptuous term for those in Malaya
who remained loyal to the British. The British
Government referred to this bloody and costly
struggle as the 'Malayan Emergency'. Yet it was
a war that lasted twelve years and cost thousands of lives before a victory on British terms.
Here are the planters and their wives on their
remote rubber estates, the policemen, the generals and the soldiers, the Malays, Chinese and
Indians of a polyglot country, all fighting an
astute, ruthless, and well organized enemy.

VIETNAM ANZACS
Australian & New Zealand Troops in Vietnam
1962–72 by Kevin Lyles. Drawing upon the
ANZACs' long experience in the jungles of
South East Asia, the men of the Task Force used
their expertise in patrol tactics to great effect.
Meanwhile the ANZACs’ small and isolated
advisor teams (the AATTV) spent ten years passing on their skills all over South Vietnam, and
in the process four were awarded the supreme
decoration for valour - the Victoria Cross. This
book pays tribute to their military prowess, and
describes and illustrates their uniforms and
equipment - evolution from early Australian issue, through evaluation of mixed US/ANZAC
gear, to development of new ANZAC items.

AFGHANISTAN: THE BEAR TRAP
The Defeat of a Superpower by Brig. (Retd.)
Mohammed Yousaf with Mark Adkin. Highly
controversial book reveals one of the greatest
military, political and financial secrets of recent
times. It is the true, if fantastic, account of how
Pakistan and the U.S. covertly controlled the
largest guerrilla war of the 20th Century, dealing the Soviets in Afghanistan a military defeat
that has come to be called ‘Russia's Vietnam’.
From 1983 to 1987 the author, Brigadier Yousaf,
headed the Afghan Bureau of Pakistan's InterService Intelligence (the ISI is akin to the CIA),
and as such was effectively the Mujahideen's
commander-in-chief. He is the only general
since the Second World War to have directed
troops in action within the Soviet Union's own
borders. Never published in the USA, the last
remaining copies of the original 1992 UK edition were snapped up by US intelligence (and
we are told this book is on intel school reading
lists).Hardbound, 256 pages, photos.

THE BOWIE KNIFE;
UNSHEATHING AN AMERICAN LEGEND
by Norm Flayderman. The big and long awaited
new Bowie knife book . “What really sets this
book apart, however, is the text. While practically all of the preceeding books on Bowie
knives have been essentially picture-books with
little text to educate or inform, Flayderman has
undertaken the monumental challenge of addressing practically every major facet of Bowie
knife history in the course of this book (not to
mention an awful lot of minor ones.) From the
Sandbar Fight to the Alamo, the English cutlery explosion of the 1830s, the Mexican War
to the Civil War and the Bowie’s decline – if it
has to do with the Bowie knife, it’s probably in
here somewhere (and can be readily found in
the handy index).”—Knife World. Sets a new
standard for the subject. Hardcover, 512 pages,
over 260 full color plates.

RANDALL MILITARY MODELS
Fighters, Bowies and Full Tang Knives by Robert E. Hunt. In his second book, Hunt continues the process of identifying, describing and
dating fighting knives produced in the dramatic
early days of the Randall experience. This new
volume provides a vast amount of material,
carefully organized and presented to enable the
reader to further his own research in the areas
most interesting to him.
SECTION 1... includes photos of a number of
rare Model 1all-purpose fighting knives.
SECTION 2...The oldest style of personal protection knife influencing Western civilization has
been the double-edged type...a stabbing knife.
This section features some of these knives and
the “standardized” design adopted by Randall.
SECTION 3...Recognition of several models
developed during the span of years when troops
were sent to Southeast Asia, as these knives are
inseparable from this conflict.
SECTION 4...The heart of this book is the section on “carried knives” which features Randalls
that have at least one of the several distinguishing requirements qualifying it to be considered
a military model used in wartime. Includes more
than 25 examples, most never-before-photographed.
SECTION 5...The Bowie knife was all but forgotten when the movie industry revived interest with Alan Ladd’s The Iron Mistress. Recognizing that some of these models were carried
in combat, shows the several distinct types that
Randall created with a historical theme.
SECTION 6...Visual comparisons serve to teach
the subtleties in the development stages and
evolution of the Randall knife. In this section,
pairings appear without their sheaths, providing a better image of the knives depicted. This
presentation allows the reader an opportunity
to observe and compare knives on their own,
in various pairs, sets and groups of like models.
SECTION 7...In the eyes of some, the sheath
makes the knife. Therefore, there is a section
on sheaths that should be instructive and serve
to better illustrate the points of reference made
in the book. Hardbound, 304 pages (including
150 full color).

400 Years of One-on-One Combat. Paul
Kirchner (author of The Deadliest Men) has researched memoirs, trial transcripts and period
newspapers to uncover a wealth of first-person
and eyewitness accounts of deadly duels, going back more than 400 years. Dueling with
the Sword and Pistol describes more than 60
life-or-death encounters; many have never been
reprinted, and some appear in English for the
first time. This wide-ranging study also examines bowie knife duels, horseback duels and the
German Mensur, as well as profiling such notorious duelists as “Fighting” Fitzgerald, Aaron
Burr, Lord Byron, Alexander Pushkin, Sam Houston and Benito Mussolini. Kirchner also discusses honor and insult, bretteurs and fire-eaters, dueling weapons and techniques, dueling
codes, multiparty duels and duels to first blood,
as well as such oddities as secret thrusts, duels
between women, suicide duels and duels with
one loaded pistol. Numerous prints and penand-ink drawings give added life to the accounts. This meticulously researched and highly
entertaining book is for martial artists, fencers,
historians and enthusiasts of edged weapons
and firearms, as well as anyone who enjoys
blow-by-blow accounts of mortal combat. 5 1/
2 x 8 1/2, softcover, illus., 480 pp.

about the practicalities of surviving and winning the infantry battle are true gems, and are
well worth the attention of infantrymen at every level.” - Marine Corps Gazette, August

Browning machine guns, written by an ex-U.S.

hammer” Model 1895 and the initial recoiloperated Models of 1901 and 1910, through
the adoption and manufacture of the famous

War I and the numerous interwar experimental
tank and aircraft guns, the air-cooled M1919A4
infantry gun, and the lightweight, fast-firing,
dual-feed M2 aircraft machine gun. The history

VIDEOS
Victory of Faith (Sieg Des Glaubens) DVD.
Found after 70 years, Leni Riefenstahl’s Victory
of Faith, is again available. A key work in the
evolution of Nazi propaganda, Victory of Faith
provides an ambitious record of the 1933 Nazi
Party rally at Nuremberg. Released in early
1934, the film was enthusiastically promoted
by the Nazi Party in presenting itself to the
German people. Later that same year, however,
Hitler oversaw a bloody purge of many of his
“old comrades,” notably Brownshirt leader
Ernst Röhm, whose leading role at the 1933
rally – second only to Hitler – figures prominently in Riefenstahl’s film. Overnight, Röhm
became persona non grata, and all references
to him were obliterated from the public record.
The thousands of prints of Victory of Faith in
circulation across Germany were tracked down
and destroyed and nobody was able to see this
landmark film. Until now: a copy of Victory of
Faith, lying unnoticed in Great Britain since
Riefenstahl visited there in early 1934, has surfaced, providing what appears to be a complete version. Though far from her masterwork,
the film offers a fascinating first draft of the ideas
and techniques Riefenstahl would pull off so
powerfully one year later in Triumph of the Will.
Germany, 1934, B&W, 70 minutes, German
with English subtitles. BONUS MATERIAL: Includes short documentary film by Fritz Hippler:
“Wort Und Tat”. NTSC Region 0 encoding

Shemagh. In extreme climates, the local inhabitants usually know clothing best. In the desert,
this means a shemagh to protect your head
against the sun. These are a favorite with the
SAS. Here’s what The SAS Encyclopedia says,
“...the most effective type is the local shemagh
head cloth, which is often dyed yellow. It traps
a layer of cooler air over the head and provides
protection for the neck. The shemagh is also
large enough to be used as an improvised shelter if required.” Cotton, soft finish is easy on
your face and neck (makes a great scarf). Large,
about 40” square, we have these in 4 colors:
