This is the story of the bayonet in 20th-century warfare. A survivor from much earlier military periods, the bayonet was still important right up to the present. Probably the most notable exponents of the bayonet were the Japanese during World War II.

This is a history of the greatest infantry bayonet charges that won an attack or beat off assaults, where raw courage & cold steel have often won the day over technology & numbers. The book starts with an account of the bayonet actions during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05. Then it moves 20 years forward to the outbreak of WW1 & the horrors of trench warfare. The fighting is, where possible, told through the words of those who took part or who witnessed it, conveying the full horror, excitement & atmosphere of this close-quarter fighting. Also includes bayonet actions during WW2, the Korean War, Vietnam War, & the British recapture of the Falklands in 1982. Photos.

History

Diane Pub Co.

<p>A detailed account of Waffen-SS battles, from the recapture of Kharkov in early 1943, to the last desperate attempt to hold the Red Army from Berlin in 1945 - a string of battles that are arguably the finest defensive actions of modern warfare. Highlights include: how SS commanders became masters of tank warfare; the use of offensive tactics during defensive battles; the development of German tank and armoured fighting vehicle technology; and the methods that enabled troops to survive ferocious Soviet artillery bombardments. Well done!</p>

Taylor&Francis

A highly illustrated and authoritative account of the battles fought by the armoured formations of the Waffen-SS, from D-Day to Arnhem to the Battle of the Bulge. In mid-1944, the panzer divisions of the Waffen-SS were among the finest units in the German order of battle. Well equipped and trained, imbued with a fierce ideological faith in National Socialism, and commanded by charismatic leaders such as 'Sepp' Dietrich, 'Panzer' Meyer and 'Papa' Hausser, the Leibstandarte, Das Reich, Hitlerjugend, Hohenstaufen and Frundsberg Divisions were a force to be reckoned with.
