Significant savings on military history books
Have a look at Naval & Military Press: https://www.naval-military-press.com/pr ... ld-war-ii/
I just bought £189 worth of books at the cover price, for £56. Some cracking titles including Jason Nicholas Moore's Soviet Fighters of the Second World War cover price £40, for £9.99.
