We are delighted to announce that as of 30th May 2022, Fighting the Kaiser's War will be getting a second edition - this time as a mass market paperback!

This will be no mere reprint, as we spent weeks during the winter closely proof-reading the text. Facts were systematically checked against our latest notes and sources, bringing the benefit of another seven years of research to bear on our debut volume. Most obviously, the pages on the Saxon Landsturm in the 'Independent Units' chapter have been radically revised in the light of the exhaustive series of articles I wrote on that subject during lockdown! Attentive readers will find dozens of other small improvements, such as the satisfying identification of previous unknown locations in some photos (thanks to our eagle-eyed French and Belgian readers) and the clarification of potential sources of confusion. There will also be a single change in the photo selection, bringing in an irresistibly choice image of one of the most obscure of the 'Independent Units'... For the benefit of owners of the original hardback edition, I will be expanding the online addenda and corrigenda as time allows to include everything which has been amended for the paperback.

The new edition is already up for pre-order on the Pen & Sword website at the special price of £11.99 (cover price will be £14.99). We will of course be getting some copies ourselves too, and I hope to be making some public appearances this year where they can be obtained in person! Watch this space...
