Newly published: The Hungarian War of Independence 1848-1849

I am delighted to announce the publication of The Hungarian War of Independence 1848-1849: An illustrated military history. This is the English edition of the definitive modern history of the war. The original Hungarian edition was written by Professor Róbert Hermann, the leading scholar in the field. It was my honour to collaborate with him and with Dr Péter Bayer to translate this important work and make it accessible to a wider audience. I am grateful to Helion for publishing it.

I should take this opportunity to mention again my two previous works on the '48: Hungary 1848: The Winter Campaign and Hungary 1849: The Summer Campaign (available together as a bundle). These complement Professor Hermann's superb comprehensive work by offering more detail on particular military actions.

For anyone who is inspired by these books to build armies and wargame the battles, then of course I should also mention Nigel Smith's The Honvéd War for all the uniform information you need (and much else besides); and, finally, my own Bloody Big Hungary '48 Battles! scenario book for recreating all the major battles of the war on the wargames table.

Let me finish by reiterating that the '48 was a major conflict and a fascinating war. For too long, it has been ignored and neglected because of the paucity of sources available to non-Hungarian readers. The substantial set of publications we have now made available has solved that problem.
