The troubles that spread through the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada in 1837-39 are a neglected chapter in British military history,although no less than twenty-one regiments of the Line were involved from the Regular Army,in addition to two cavalry regiments and two battalions of the Guards.The author has been fortunate in having access to important and hitherto unpublished collections of family papers which vividly illumine the campaign as seen through the eyes of British soldiers coping with its unfamiliar demands. Michael Mann,who is Dean of Windsor (then 1986),was a career soldier before his ordination.He is a Trustee of the Imperial War Museum and of the Army Museums Ogilby Trust.His most recent book (again,then 1986) was 'And They Rode On',an account of the King's Dragoon Guards at the Battle of Waterloo.

The Soviet Union began assisting the People's Republic of China in its establishment of a modern air force in 1950, when Soviet Air Force regiments were sent to train local pilots. China's involvement in the Korean War in late October 1950 inevitably drew Soviet pilots into the war, with a total of 52 Soviet pilots scoring five or more victories there. The history of these covert actions has been a long-buried secret and this book is the first English publication to detail the only instance when the Cold War became 'hot'. This book uncovers Soviet combat experiences during the Korean War from detailed unit histories and rare first-hand account. With access to extensive Russian archives, the authors offer an enthralling insight into an air war that has been largely covered up and neglected. Illustrated with previously unpublished photographs and detailed full colour profiles, this book is a unique opportunity to read about an often-forgotten aspect of the Cold War. Contents: Motives for the Soviet Air Force's participation in the Korean War; Reasons for considerable exaggeration of kills claimed by Soviet pilots, compared with real losses to UN forces; Initial participation of Soviet pilots in the Korean War; Establishment of the 64th IAK; Combat employment; Combat operations of La-11 night interceptors of the 351st IAP; First success of MiG-15bis nightfighters..
