BROWN, JOHN WELSH STICK CHAIRS WINDSOR CHAIR BOOK EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPH | |

All too often, the "experts" on woodworking subjects are pretentious and unapproachable yuppies who may or may not have the experience and training to qualify as such.

In a work that is illustrated with photographs of Brown at work in his home workshop, this book addresses not only how to make traditional chairs, but also their history, traditions and tips for how not to make mistakes. If you're interested in trying your hand at chairmaking and can't quite justify $1600.00 to attend some wine and cheese New England seminar, we recommend "Welsh Stick Chairs". Price: $0.00 |

OSTFRONT 1944: The German Defensive Battles on the Russian Front in 1944 Alex Buchner. In 1944, when the entire Russo-German front was "ablaze" under continual Soviet attacks, wrong estimations by the highest German command led to critical decisions with grave consequences. The Red Army was growing increasingly stronger, and launched a major offensive. They engaged the Germans in a series of battles - Cherkassy, Tarnopol, Crimea, Vetebsk, Brody, Jassy - That ended in the collapse of Army Group Center, and catastrophic German losses. These battles cost the German army in the east well over a half-million casualties.The entire story is set forth in this new book by Alex Buchner. This in-depth study uses presently available sources and the reports of still-living participants, to document the events on the Eastern Front of 1944. It tells the story from the German point of view, reflecting on what is considered the most barbarous fighting of World War II.Alex Buchner is the author of several World War II studies, including The German Infantry Handbook 1939-1945, available from Schiffer Military History.
