He is the author editor and translator of several books on the military history of Germany including World War I and World War II. While scholarship abounds on the diplomatic and security aspects of the Cold War very little attention has been paid to military planning at the operational level. In Blueprints for Battle experts from Russia the United States and Europe address this dearth by closely examining the military planning of NATO and Warsaw Pact member nations from the end of World War II to the beginning of détente. Informed by material from recently opened archives this collection investigates the perceptions and actions of the rival coalitions exploring the challenges presented by nuclear technology examining how military commanders' perceptions changed from the 1950s to the 1960s and discussing logistical coordination among allied states. The result is a detailed study that offers much-needed new perspectives on the military aspects of the early Cold War. University Press of Kentucky hardcover

Cambrensis Eversus has been generally esteemed one of the most valuable works on the history of Ireland. Viewed merely as a refutation of Giraldus de Barry it was on some points unsuccessful but its comprehensive plan embracing a great variety of well-digested and accurate information on every period of Irish history makes it a valuable work.
