1) Most importantly, a full colour section depicting some 860 individual unit badges. All but a tiny handful have been attributed to known squadrons. Potential purchasers should note that this is NOT an attempt to portray individual pilots' personal markings - just the unit badges.
2) Text which briefly details each of these units, gives information on the origin of the badge (where this is known) and states the aircraft types flown.
3) A section of about 160 black and white photographs. These have been chosen to display the unit badges to best effect and this means that the photos are mostly well known already. This is not exactly a criticism, but if you already have even a modest Luftwaffe library you will experience some deja vu.
Overall, this is an excellent book. You also get slightly more for your money than the title suggests, since the authors have quite clearly included some unit badges being worn during the mid-1930s. This publication is typical of the high quality books on unusual subjects being marketed by the publishers Hikoki. Highly recommended !

"Luther's Last Battles" contains extensive interpretation of several of these latter polemical tracts. It is a task that few, if any, historians have undertaken. This being the case, it has allowed Edwards the freedom to promulgate his specific bent on the motivating drive of "old man" Luther.
Edwards ultimately concludes, that by approaching Luther's works through his new approach, it becomes clear that he had indeed carried strong political and theological convictions. His vulgarity and apocalyptic rhetoric were ultimately a result of the surrounding circumstances of sixteenth century society in the midst of the first Reformation.
Edwards's work deserves the highest praise. A reader ultimately gains an appreciation for the difficulty of such an analytical task. He has continually and effectively stressed the political motivation and interests in Luther's polemics. By attempting to provide a fresh outlook on the elder Luther, a task not often undertaken, Edwards has created an important new method for historians to use in evaluating polemical literature of the past. In so doing, he has demonstrated that the most complete evaluation of a person's persona and driving forces may be done only through historical contextual evaluation of primary sources. Goodbye Erik Erikson, Mark Edwards is here to stay!
