Featuring hundreds of photos from the national archives, diagrams, and detailed specifications, Hunnicutt's Firepower remains the definitive developmental history of the heavy tank for the military historian, professional soldier, and tank restorer. This ambitious entry in R.P. Hunnicutt's 10-volume compendium of American tank history details the development of the heavy tanks from its initial conception in World War I to its final development in the 1960s. First developed after WWI, various iterations of the heavy armored military vehicle have served as a crucial component of American military operations in all manner of engagements. Hunnicutt spares no detail as he examines the origins and deployment of the Mark VIII and TI and M6 in the 1930s and 1940s. First conceived as a vehicle to be used for infantry support, by the end of WWI, the heavy tank had evolved into the modern concept with a powerful turret mounted antitank gun protected by heavy armor--a fighting machine in its own right. Hunnicutt provides detailed technical information about these vehicles and their role in the U.S. Army and Marines. The M103A product-improved descendant of the T43 tanks and its many variations is also treated with exacting detail by Hunnicutt, who takes us through the numerous and important variations on the heavy tank design. Spanning the history of America's most widely used main battle tank, Hunnicutt's Firepower is an absolute must-have for anyone interested in the history of the American military.

In 1719 a battalion of Spanish soldiers landed on the west coast of Scotland. They were all that survived of the Spanish Armada's last failed invasion of Britain. Thoroughly researched, R P Carruthers has produced a riveting historical novel that fully captures the harsh and turbulent era when Scottish Jacobites in alliance with Spain rose against the English Crown. The Tide Also Takes is a story of adventure, war, intrigue, love and betrayal. It brings to vivid life the destruction of Eilean Donan Castle, the battle of Glenshiel, and, at the novel's very heart, the extraordinary and unexpected love affair between a Spanish officer and the wife of a local laird.Based partly on a Gaelic folk tale as well as historic record, and reflecting moral dilemmas that are universal as they are timeless, The Tide Also Takes contains twists and turns that will keep the reader gripped to the very last page.
