The Christmas countdown continues and today a gentle reminder that my four Battle Craft titles are, like all my books, available as hard copies and eBooks from Pen and Sword Books.

Image of US Army soldiers headed by Brig Gen Anthony McAuliffe on Christmas Day. 1944. Overlaid are the four Battle Craft Titles by Ben Skipper. The Battle Craft series provides an overview of each battle described, introducing the reader, be they modeller or military history enthusiast, to the main themes of each battle. Each title is filled with illustrations, maps and photographs from a range of sources, to help bring the history of the battle to life.
