	Intelligence Was My Line : Inside Eisenhower's Other Command. *As Told to Donald Markle by Ralph Hauenstein Chief Intelligence Branch (G2) HQ, Etousa* When Ralph Hauenstein became a reserve officer, he thought the skills he'd gained as newspaperman might be useful. Indeed, he spent World War 2 gathering information from sources as diverse as soldiers who were encouraged to report on one another and code books pulled from downed German planes. The story of Major Hauenstein's war is also the story of the European Theatre of US Operations, the American command of General Dwight D Eisenhower, who spun between ETOUSA and his international position at Allied headquarters, SHAEF, with dizzying speed. SHAEF dominates histories of the time; ETOUSA is comparatively little studied and understood, but as Hauenstein explains, we couldn't have won the war without it. Donald Markle shapes Ralph Hauenstein's remembrances into an informative, entertaining book that will spark debate among history buffs.

	Into the Dragon's Teeth : *Warriors' Tales of the Battle of the Bulge* In 1944, America struck back. Reeling from the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor that had plunged an unwary nation into World War II, the United States had been on the defensive for several years. All that changed on June 6, 1944 when the U.S. and its allies invaded the European mainland at Normandy and began pushing the Germans back toward the Fatherland. As the Allies readied for the final push into Germany, the Germans fought back hard, and the Allies found themselves in the grips of a cruel winter and the most momentous military engagement of the mechanised age -- the Battle of the Bulge. "Into The Dragon's Teeth" is the real-life story of three men who lived through these events and survived. Their stories are typical of many members of the U.S. Army who fought in this infamous battle during the closing months of the War in Europe. These are stories from a vanishing group of men who saved the world from unspeakable evil -- stories that deserve to be told and documented for posterity.

	Invisible War : The Untold Secret Story of Number One Canadian Special Wireless Group While the Second World War raged in Europe, demanding most of Canada's military effort, an equally fierce war with Japan was going on in the Far East. Army, navy, and air force signals units in Canada kept watch on the enemy's vital radio communications. To be more effective, Number One Canadian Special Wireless Group of the Royal Canadian Signals Corps was formed to go to the Southwest Pacific war theatre for close-in radio eavesdropping. Murray describes the often zany career of the only complete signals unit Canada sent to the War in the Pacific, and the significant part it played in the Allied signals intelligence operation known as 'Magic'.

	Iron Knights *: The U.S. 66th Armored Regiment in World War II* From its baptism of fire in the mud of the Western Front in 1918 to its triumphant march into Berlin in July 1945, this is the story of the U.S. 66th Armored Regiment. It was the only American heavy tank unit to see combat in World War I, and between the two wars, the regiment served as a laboratory for new ideas and equipment. After training under Gen. George S. Patton, the 66th distinguished itself in numerous battles during World War II, earning six battle streamers for the unit and a Medal of Honor for one of its officers.	Gordon A.

	Japanese Americans in World War II, 3rd Edition : *Mass Removal, Imprisonment, Internment & Redress* Like its predecessors, the third edition of "Japanese Americans and World War II" provides students of US, Asian American, World War II history with essential but too-often overlooked (at least in most standard US survey textbooks) information on what may well be one of the most disgraceful episodes in American history. Yet as painful as the details of the so-called internment of American citizens and legal immigrants was, "Japanese Americans in World War II" also chronicles the courage and resourcefulness of the Nikkei, during their imprisonment and in the years that followed, never abandoning the United States but demanding the respect they had earned -- even as they struggled within the Japanese American community to define exactly what "citizenship" meant and how best to ask for -- and get -- the official apology they had waited so long to hear. Completely updated and including a complete and expanded bibliography, this highly readable and affordable little pamphlet is a perfect supplement to the US survey and a variety of more-specialised courses.

	Land Girls : In a Man's World, 1939-1946 Drawing on interviews with 220 women who served as "land girls" during World War II, Bardsley (a Ph.D. candidate) relates an under-documented chapter in New Zealand's war experience. Like their Rosie the Riveter sisters, these Women's Land Service recruits gained independence, little recognition, and discontent about giving up their farm jobs when the soldiers came home. Well-illustrated with recruiting posters and women engaged in farm labour.	Dianne Bardsley 9781877133947 b&w photos 190x260mm, paperback 170 pages University of Otago Press £15.99
	Lost Diary : *The Other Side of War, Vignettes of a World War II Combat Soldier* In the heat of war, David Mancini lost his personal diary, but 60 years later, he unapologetically recreates his days as a wise-ass teenager island-hopping in the Pacific who soon found himself in the biggest battles of World War 2. THE LOST DIARY is an unfiltered and unvarnished account of Mancini's 24th Division, 19th Infantry taking part in several decisive battles -- including the landing at Leyte leading to MacArthur's return. Mancini's personal odyssey is told through a series of expertly drawn vignettes, sometimes accompanied by a sketch or water colour he'd send home in GI mail to his family. Through his words and his art, he brings us into the colourful, tropical world of the Pacific, sharing events and traumas that he kept from his family. Never one for heroics, Mancini instead draws us into a world where constant death brings laughter and brotherhood. The images still etched in Mancini's mind won't leave you.

	Marines! - The Inside Story From the rain forests of Guadalcanal to the hell-hot coral sands of Peleliu, the men of the First Marine Division were there. This is their own story, as real as the mud and dust they slogged through and the blood that they shed; as real as the women they loved and left, and as real as the graves where some of their bravest now rest. Author Robert Leckie was there with them. Tough and young, as scared and proud as the best of them, he lived to tell this true story of what they saw and survived.

	Minnesota Goes to War : The Home Front During World War II Brainerd, 1941: The first people began arriving at the depot at about 11.30pm. The mercury in the thermometer read twenty below zero, and it was still dropping... A few minutes before midnight, the men the crowd had come to see marched into view -- eighty-two of them, all dressed in khakis, responding on cue to barked commands... The conductor called 'all aboard'. The band struck up 'The Star-Spangled Banner'. The men fell in and marched into the passenger cars. As the crowd surged forward, the men inside the train raced to the windows... Hands reached out and grabbed each other. Final kisses were stolen. The train pulled away, slowly gathering momentum, and disappeared into the night. For many in Company A, 194th Tank Battalion, the part-time National Guardsmen who had trained at Camp Ripley, that was their last look at Brainerd. Their fate and the lives of the people they left behind comprise only one of the stories in this compelling chronicle of Minnesota's war efforts during World War 2. Minnesota Goes to War records the state's role in the most significant event of the twentieth century. By telling the poignant stories of those who stayed behind -- in support of the men and women overseas -- this book is a tribute to the sacrifices made by ordinary people in extraordinary times. With much original research including photographs, letters, and interviews with veterans and their families, author Dave Kenney chronicles the uniquely Minnesotan response to war, from the starvation study at the University of Minnesota to the human centrifuge project at Mayo; from the Minneapolis and St Paul rival scrap drives to the use of German POW farmhands in north-western Minnesota; from those who eagerly supported the war to those who protested our nation's involvement. These stories honour Minnesotans who faced the war with equal amounts of determination and dread, courage and fear in places as far away as the Pacific and Europe and as close as our own hometowns.

	Nazi Germany Professor Alan Wilt's Nazi Germany is a thoughtful interpretation of Hitler's revolutionary and invidious regime and its rule over Germany from 1933 to 1945. Beginning with a brief sketch of Hitler himself, his crucial role in shaping the Nazi movement and his meteoric rise to power at the end of the ill-fated Weimar Republic, Wilt then considers the political, economic, social, and cultural aspects of the policies of the Third Reich. Featured topics include youth, women, religion, and racism. After discussing the Nazis' wartime measures, Wilt assesses Nazi Germany's place within the twentieth-century mosaic. Finally Wilt considers a number of the historical controversies, including the extent to which Hitler's will dominated state policies, whether nazism was a special path applicable only to Germany, and why the vast majority of Germans supported the regime.
