by Graeme Donald Did you know they started 'hearing through the grapevine' during the American Civil War, that 'ghettos' originated in Venice, or that 'deadline' has a very sinister origin? From 'Duds' to 'Freelancers' and 'Morris Dancing' to 'snooker,' this enthralling book takes readers on a fascinating trip through the words and phrases that came to us from the military, but nowadays are used by soldier and civilian alike.

Join the invasion of Normandy with D-Day, a fully illustrated account of the Allied landing that changed the direction of World War II. The soldiers who stormed the beaches on June 6, 1944, paved the way for the liberation of Europe and forced Hitler to fight a war on two fronts. One of the largest amphibious military offensives of all time, more than 4,000 troops lost their lives that day to free Europe from Hitler's oppressive control. See what it was like for Allied soldiers to exit their landing craft and wade through the water under machine gunfire and exploding mortars. Their sacrifice and ultimate victory turned the tide of the Second World War. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Guadalcanal is a graphic novel in vivid color detailing the fierce struggle for control of the Solomon Islands, a pivotal point in the Allied campaign against Japan during World War II. Based on historical records and interviews from the men who fought in the Pacific theater, the book describes the landing operations, naval battles, and opposing military goals that surrounded one of the hardest-won campaigns in the Second World War. From Henderson Field to the Matanikau River, Allied victories forced the Japanese Navy to abandon Guadalcanal, a serious blow to the empire that would eventually lead to their surrender.

From the Patriots' raid on the necromancer Joseph Curwen, to the Special Forces' assault on Leng in 2007, this history reveals the secret and terrible struggle between the United States and the supernatural forces of Cthulhu. In this war, immortal cultists worship other-dimensional entities, and plot to raise an army of the dead. Incomprehensible undersea intelligences infiltrate and colonize American seaports, and alien races lurk beneath the ice of Antarctica and high in the mountains of Afghanistan. It is only through constant vigilance and violence that the earth has survived. Strange times are upon us, the world is changing, and even death may die - but, until then, the war continues.
