The Brown family lived in a quiet, old-fashioned English village, under the shadow of the everlasting hills. This is where Tom was born, the eldest son of Squire Brown, Justice of the Peace, and his good-natured wife. The Browns were a fighting family, and Tom was a fighter from the first.
The prolonged and bloody fighting for control of the Japanese occupied Pacific islands in World War II is a key point in 20th-century warfare. No two islands were alike in the systems and nature of their defensive emplacements, and local improvization and command preferences affected both materials used and defensive models. This title details the establishment, construction and effectiveness of Japanese temporary and semi-permanent crew-served weapons positions and individual and small-unit fighting positions. Integrated obstacles and minefields, camouflage and the changing defensive principles are also covered.

Soldier: A Visual History of the Fighting Man
A very good book about almost all fighting units in the human history from Ancient Egypt all the way to the War in iraq. It gives a brief history of the country and soldiers and also uniforms and weapons. The only thing about this book is that it doesn't fully analyze important countries such as Napoleon's army or the imperial chinese army.
