An illustrated history of the Messerschmitt Me 262, the first jet-powered combat aircraft, and its brief but intense role during World War II.

Equipped with the Jumo 004 jet engine, the Me 262 surpassed all Allied aircraft in speed and firepower. As an interceptor, it boasted impressive armament with four 30 mm MK 108 nose-mounted cannons. This combination of firepower and speed allowed the Me 262A-1a to not only wreak havoc on Allied bomber formations but also to outmaneuver their fighter escorts, including even the later marks of the Spitfire and the powerful P-51 Mustang.

In this new study, Luftwaffe expert Robert Forsyth draws from first-hand accounts of Me 262 pilots to recount their attacks on Allied bombers and their escorts, as well as hit-and-run missions targeting road junctions, airfields, vehicle columns, troop gatherings, and supply depots. The narrative is enriched by vivid illustrations, including archival photos and specially commissioned artwork profiles.

Fascinating and beautifully written.
Format: Hardcover
Clear and compelling reading of the much-neglected history of Carthage -- all its histories had been written by the victors in Rome. BTEW y four-colour photo insert was missing a page....shame on Norton, the puboisher.

Excellent Overview of Carthage
Format: Hardcover
293 pages of text/maps/b&w figures; 8 pages of color plates; 15 pages of end notes (mostly citations); 20 page Bibliography; 6 page Primary Bibliography; 2 page Acknowledgements; 8 area maps; 1 battle map [Cannae]. This is a well written history of Carthage. It provides a one source overview of the background and history of the city/empire. As a reasonably well read layperson, I am familiar at an overview level with the Punic Wars, Rome, Alexander, and the Alexandrine successor states and this book packaged Carthaginian information very well while adding interesting information that I hadn't come across before. I was somewhat disappointed (hence the 4 star rather than 5 star rating) that there was a very limited drill down to a lower level of detail, particularly from such a noted author. However, this is probably an unfair criticism given the limited amount of archeological information available and the millennia of effort that has been spent in pigeonholing Carthage according to the desired perceptions. I recommend the book highly as a well written overview of Carthage.

Great substance; lousy writing.
Format: Kindle
Reviewing this book is not an easy task. Previously I had very limited knowledge of this period of history. With no background, I found the subject spellbinding. The author has done a wonderful job of gathering, and reconciling, ancient sources of mixed reliability. But, in undertaking that task, the text becomes repetitive, difficult to follow and frankly just plain boring. In addition, the writing style and format detracts substantially from the pleasure of learning from the substance. Everything from run-on sentences with mixed subjects to unclear antecedents, to character confusion because of similarity of names and the author's expectation that one can remember which player is on stage at any given moment. My main criticism of the book is that the downsides could have been avoided by application of the skills of a decent editor who instinctively would have addressed and corrected the confusion in presentation that made it a very difficult read. I hope that a cleaned up edition is prepared and the book released again; I think the effort would be worth the result.
