This pulp series of paperbacks first published in the late sixties was written on a variety of topics by some of the best British war historians. Divided into 5 categories: Weapons, Battles, Campaign, Politics in Action and Leaders, the 120-odd titles in the series provide a comprehensive layman’s look at the second war and elements of the First.
Printed in bulk in the UK, Australia and the US these histories sold for a dollar. That may explain the dearth of them to-day as millions probably filled landfill sites. Some are available on e-bay and from used book sellers. At now inflated prices, they’re still well worth the read.
