A few of these are not free here in the States...but they're only $0.99. And a couple that are free are reduced from $12.99 and 9.99 or so...great deals, Pete, thanks!

I don't understand their price settings.  Prices I mentioned are those that show up in Europe.

I also picked this one up for $3.25 (normal price about $30) :

Enduring the Whirlwind: The German Army and the Russo-German War 1941-1943 (Wolverhampton Military Studies) by Gregory Liedtke

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073WF9S9W/ref=pe_385040_118058080_TE_M1DP


You can also check these (free for me) :

Yeah, I have my eye on that one, too. It's $2.99 here. Showing as $59.95 (!!!) at "normal" price.  :buck2:

I'm tempted but I already have tons of books and not really looking for anything new on the Eastern Front. But...Eastern Front, dammit!

I don't get the price differences either. I'd understand if they charged $2.99 here and 2.51 Euros there (according to the exchange rate right now, 2.99 US is 2.51 EUR). But $3.25 there and 2.99 here seems like price gouging. Granted it's not much of a difference but I'm sure there's wider differences in other products.

Wish I could find the US price somewhere to verify.

I have a few books on my wishlist showing a price of $0.99 but when I want to order them the price changes.  I guess the $0.99 price is the US price and the other one is the price for my region.

E.g. :
Finland's War of Choice: The Troubled German-Finnish Coalition in World War II  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004K1ETK2/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2NJJ8R56YHUZO&colid=1GYMXZTU74C9C

Both on my wishlist for $0.99 but sell for $4 or $5 in Europe (still a bargain).

An anthology of five American Civil War books. The collection includes:

Volume 1: "...To Knock Jos. Johnston": Sherman, Atlanta, and the Sinews of War
Before Sherman began his famous "March to the Sea," he had to first take Atlanta and defeat the wounded, but still formidable, Confederate Army of Tennessee. Volume 1 tells you how he did it.

Volume 2: Grant Cuts Loose: Logistics and the Drive on Vicksburg
Ulysses S. Grant had tried a half-dozen times and failed to get at the Confederate citadel of Vicksburg. Discover how he finally managed to capture the city and an entire Confederate army in Volume 2.

Volume 3: Vicksburg Redeemed: An Assessment of Confederate Combined Operations During the Baton Rouge Campaign of 1862
General Earl Van Dorn had a plan. General John Breckinridge's Confederate Task Force, with the aid of the C.S.S. Arkansas ironclad ram, would re-take the Federally occupied Louisiana capital of Baton Rouge. Find out what happened in Volume 3.

Volume 4: Dooming the Confederacy: The Decisive Battle of Champion Hill
So, you think Gettysburg was the decisive battle of the Civil War? Read Volume 4 and you might just change your mind.

Volume 5: Star-Crossed: A Quantitative Reassessment of the Relative Combat Performance of the Army of Tennessee Compared to the Army of Northern Virginia
Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia outclassed its sister army in the West, the Army of Tennessee, in every category, right? Read Volume 5 before you answer that question.

The Kindle version Includes extensive links to authoritative and informative websites dedicated to specific battles, personalities, locations, and events discussed in the narratives.


Price = $ 0 (in my region)
