Synopsis

"Russian Winter" examines the critical role of Russia's harsh climate in determining the outcomes of military campaigns, particularly Napoleon's invasion of 1812 and Nazi Germany's assault during World War II. The book meticulously analyzes how the severe winter conditions acted as a formidable, often decisive, ally for the Russian forces. It highlights the meteorological realities faced by invading armies, contrasting them with historical climate norms to reveal the true extent of the environmental challenge. Logistical nightmares induced by frozen supply lines and crippled equipment are also explored, demonstrating how the climate amplified strategic weaknesses.

 
The book delves into the psychological toll exacted by the relentless cold, hunger, and disease on invading soldiers, drawing comparisons between the experiences of Napoleon's Grande Armée and the Wehrmacht. By integrating environmental history with military history, "Russian Winter" offers a unique perspective on well-known events.

 
The book progresses from establishing a climatological baseline to analyzing logistical challenges and the human impact of the winter, ultimately demonstrating how the Russian climate consistently undermined invaders' strengths, contributing significantly to their defeat on the Eastern Front.

    The remarkable wartime diary of nurse Kathleen Johnstone 
    ‘Warm, chatty and endlessly absorbing, this delightful diary brims with intelligence and humour.’ Wendy Moore, author of Endell Street: The Women Who Ran Britain’s Trailblazing Military Hospital 
    The second world war could not have been won without the bravery and selflessness of women on the Home Front. Women like Kathleen Johnstone. 
    This first-hand story of one extraordinary but unheralded member of Britain’s ‘Greatest Generation’ brings home with extraordinary lucidity and compassion the realities of wartime Lancashire. 
    In 1943, Kathleen, then thirty, was a nurse-in-training at the Blackburn Royal Infirmary. For the next three years she kept a meticulous diary of her day-to-day existence, leaving behind a vivid record of the real-time concerns of a busy, thoughtful woman on the frontline of the war at home. 
    Kathleen’s days were never the same. She writes in clear and lively prose about life in the hospital: of her fellow nurses, her patients, about death and dying, and the progress of the war as wounded soldiers returned from Normandy in the summer of 1944. She muses on being working class, wartime austerity, and her anxiety about examinations. Here too are dances, Americans and a POW boyfriend in Germany. Kathleen’s observations are witty, wry and astute – but above all relatable, even today. 
    Poignant and engrossing, Kathleen Johnstone’s tale of trauma, romance and friendship will leave a lasting impression. 
    Kathleen Johnstone's personal memoirs provide a unique perspective on the social history of 20th century Europe. As a top nurse during the war, her experiences with patients and her insights into the medical challenges of the time make this autobiography a must-read. 
    For fans of Grace Dent (Comfort Eating), and Mary Morris (A Very Private Diary).

    When the US president, Harry S Truman, declared the Truman Doctrine in March 1947, he could not have known that the resultant Cold War would persist for over forty years until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991. In addition to nuclear and conventional military friction between the Eastern and Western blocs, the struggle for dominance involved a remarkable range of activities including the space race, psychological efforts, espionage, even rivalry at sporting functions and technological events. This diversity is reflected in the twenty chapters of Cold War Boys which opens with a vivid description from the author of survival procedures used by English Electric Lightning pilots in the event of nuclear war. From there on, various contributors share their original experiences on a range of fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft across the world, including tales from RAF Germany, the Falklands, and the Far East. Each story demonstrates some of the intriguing circumstances faced by aircrew and ground crew whose tenacity and professionalism had to cope with miscellaneous situations of danger, excitement, risk, pathos, and humor. This book serves as a reminder of what air forces faced during the Cold War years as the ever-present threat of nuclear war persisted. A must for all aviation fans.
