Editor's pick Sometimes when we run across an interesting/unusual/informative book, especially an older or out-of-print one, we like to bring it to your attention. Here's one: Perkins, Roger. Regiments: Regiments and Corps of the British Empire and Commonwealth, 1758-1993: A Critical Bibliography of Their Published Histories. Newton Abbot: Perkins, 1994 For anyone looking for books about British Commonwealth and Colonial units during WWII—both famous and obscure, from every corner of the globe—this is the ultimate source. As Mr. Perkins himself might say: "A tour de force very deeply researched featuring astringent commentary with splendid binding of the highest quality and generous indexes."
