Reviews

"Osprey's military titles are very subject-specific, allowing for a depth of focus most other general-interest surveys lack. Their latest titles are top picks military reference libraries will appreciate... Britain's Secret War: The Indonesian Confrontation 1962-66 [gives] rare insights and revelations in this unusual study of soldier experiences." --Midwest Book Review
