The Longest Campaign tells the epic story of British sea power in the Second World War.

In ten episodes, Treason tells the remarkable and true story of Claus von Stauffenberg and the plot to assassinate Hitler. In July 1944, Claus von Stauffenberg was 36 years old. He was a brilliant staff officer, regarded by many, including Hitler, as the most brilliant in the German Army. He was a decorated war hero.

This is the first book-length survey of the Union's "hard war" against the people of the Confederacy.
