Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (1794-1876) is one of the most famous, and infamous, figures in Mexican history. Will Fowler provides a revised picture of Santa Anna's life, offering new insights into his activities in his bailiwick of Veracruz and in his numerous military engagements. The Santa Anna who emerges is an intelligent, dynamic, yet reluctant leader.

Written by military experts, this essential visual reference guide is for anyone interested in the history of small arms, gun manufacture and conflicts of war. Illustrated with 180 photographs and diagrams, it features the arms that have shaped the conflicts of the last 150 years, with analysis and descriptions.

With first-hand accounts, vivid photographs, and specially commissioned maps, Stalingrad is a comprehensive examination of the decisive failure of the German assault in early October 1942 that ultimately decided the course of the war.
