World War II was a truly global conflict, but no theatre of the war tested the limits of human endurance, strategy, and brutality like the Pacific. In Island by Island: The Pacific War in Brutal Detail, author Cyril Marlen delivers a visceral, unflinching account of the long, bitter struggle between Allied forces and the Empire of Japan. This is not a broad-strokes overview—it’s a deep dive into the raw, punishing reality of the Pacific War, told through vivid detail, gripping analysis, and a relentless focus on the battles that defined the ocean-spanning campaign.

From the plains of Kansas to the war rooms of London and the beaches of Normandy, The Man Who Led the Liberation of Europe traces Dwight D. Eisenhower’s extraordinary journey. He wasn’t a battlefield general in the traditional sense—but he wielded one of the most powerful weapons of the war: strategy. Balancing complex alliances, clashing egos, and an enemy entrenched across the continent, Eisenhower’s role as commander required more than just military brilliance—it demanded diplomacy, emotional intelligence, and nerves of steel.

The Fall of the Reich: The Final 100 Days tells the harrowing and historically rich story of how the Third Reich unravelled during its final, desperate months between January and May 1945.

From the failed final offensive in the Ardennes to the thunder of Soviet artillery at the gates of Berlin, this book tracks the intense and often chaotic events that sealed Hitler’s fate and reshaped the modern world.
