Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. 222, [2] pages. Illustrated endpapers Illustrations. Appendix. Mexican Order of Battle in Texas. Order of Battle at San Jacinto. Guide for the Interested Layman. Index. Albert A. Nofi (born January 6, 1944), is an American military historian, defense analyst, and designer of board and computer wargaming systems. Nofi built a career as an independent historian, defense analyst, and wargame designer, working primarily with James F. Dunnigan, Redmond A. Simonsen, and David C. Isby at Simulations Publications (SPI). As research director for SPI and associate editor of the military historical simulations journal Strategy and Tactics for over a decade (1969-1982), he produced numerous articles and a number of wargames. In addition to work for SPI, Nofi has authored, co-authored, or edited over 30 books on a wide variety of topics. It was a small war--probably no more than 2,500 men were ever engaged in a single action, both sides taken together. It was a short war too, lasting only about seven months. And it was fought in what was, at the time, one of the most obscure corners of the earth. Yet the Texas War for Independence has become a heroic conflict of legendary proportions. Very few balanced accounts of Texas's epic struggle for independence have been written. Historian Albert A. Nofi provides a splendid chronicle of the events and personalities of the war. He clearly explicates the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto, carefully exploring the legends, and exposing the truth behind the myths. "The Alamo"offers a strategic and tactical analysis of the war, technical information about the weapons used, strength and casualty data, orders of battles, information on the financing of Texas freedom, portraits of both Texan and Mexican personalities, and the story of a little-known war at sea. Includes maps of military movements and the most detailed tactical map of the Battle of San Jacinto available to date. "The Alamo" is military history at its best: a social, political, economic, strategic, and tactical examination of the Texas War for Independence. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. 1st Hippocrene edition, 3rd printing ; xvi, 1135 pages ; 24 cm ; ISBN 9780870529740, 0870529749 ; OCLC23014830 ; Map on lining papers ; Translation of: Ogniem i mieczem ; brown cloth in color pictorial dustjacket ; Despite some deviations, the book's historical framework is genuine and the fictional story is woven into real events. Many characters are historical figures, including Jeremi Wis?niowiecki and Bohdan Khmelnytsky (Polish: Bohdan Chmielnicki). Sienkiewicz researched memoirs and chronicles of the Polish nobility, or szlachta, for details on life in 17th-century Poland. The book was written, according to the author, "to lift up the heart" of the Polish nation in the unhappy period following the failed January Uprising during the era of the partitions of Poland. Thus it often favors epic plots and heroic scenes over historical accuracy. Nonetheless, Sienkiewicz's vivid language made it one of the most popular books about that particular place and era ; By Fire and Sword is a historical novel by the Polish author Henryk Sienkiewicz, published in 1884. It is the first volume of a series known to Poles as The Trilogy, followed by The Deluge and Fire in the Steppe. The novel has been adapted as a film several times, most recently in 1999. ; Far more celebrated than any of his positivist contemporaries, Henryk Sienkiewicz began as a journalist and achieved considerable renown with his account of a two-year journey to the United States. Between 1882 and 1888 he wrote three historical novels dealing with political and military events in seventeenth-century Poland: With Fire and Sword, The Deluge (1886), and Fire in the Steppe (1888, also translated as Pan Michael). Although superficial in its analysis of historical events, the trilogy gained enormous popularity both in Poland and in other Slavic countries thanks to Sienkiewicz's masterful use of epic techniques and of the seventeenth-century colloquial idiom. Even more popular, if artistically far weaker, was his Quo Vadis? (1896), a novel about Rome in the age of Nero (Sienkiewicz's fame in the West is chiefly based on this work). Another historical novel, The Teutonic Knights (1900), deals with the fifteenth-century struggle between Poland-Lithuania and the Teutonic Order. Henryk Sienkiewicz was awarded The Nobel prize in Literature for 1905 "because of his outstanding merits as an epic writer". ; slight knock, else G/VG. Book. …
