The T-62 is one of the most widespread tanks used by the Soviets
during the Cold War. Developed from the T-55, the T-62 enjoyed a
long career in the Red Army and even into the early days of the
reformed Russian Army. It was the principal tank used by Soviet
forces in the Soviet-Afghan War, and went on to see service with
Russian forces in Chechnya and South Ossetia. It has also been
employed in almost every conflict in the Middle East and Africa
from its introduction into service. It remains in service with many
countries throughout the world and has seen a great deal of use in
the Syrian Civil War. Containing more than 400 stunning
contemporary and modern photographs, and written by two experts on
Soviet armour, this authoritative book tells the complete story of
the T-62.
The T-55 is one of the most iconic weapons created by the Soviets
during the Cold War and also one of the most widely deployed
weapons in history. Like its younger brother, the T-54, the T-55
enjoyed a long career in the Red Army and even into the early days
of the reformed Russian Army. Under their control it saw very
little combat use or deployments, but it was widely sold to other
nations and participated in many of the wars and combat operations
from the mid-1960s to the present. The T-55 has been employed in
almost every conflict in the Middle East and Africa from its
introduction into service. Even today the tank is still employed by
both sides in the Syrian Civil War, and they are also in service
with Kurdish forces in the struggle against ISIS in the northern
part of Iraq. Containing more than 400 stunning contemporary and
modern photographs, and written by two experts on Soviet armour,
this authoritative book tells the complete story of the T-55, one
of the most widely produced tanks of all time.
The menacing silhouette of the T-54 tank prowling down streets of Eastern European capitals or roaring across fields in massive exercises remains one of the most enduring images of Soviet power in the early years of the Cold War. Its sleek and unmistakable shape was a warning to any nation that wanted to stand against the USSR.
Yet all of this masked a flawed, outdated design, and when T-54s began to clash with the Western armoured vehicles in proxy wars in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, they were found to be on the losing side of many of the battles.
Containing over 500 stunning contemporary and modern photographs, and written by two experts on Soviet armour, this authoritative book tells the complete story of the T-54, one of the most widely produced tanks of all time, including many previously unheard of variants.

THE OLYMPIANS is a collaboration between one of Australia's
greatest playwrights Stephen Sewell and director Jeff Janisheski.
Set on the last night of the world's biggest sporting event, the
Olympic Games, this feisty play captures a moment in time when all
the tensions, jealousies and rivalries finally explode in an
exuberant burst of madness and frivolity during the Australian
Muck-Up Party. The OLYMPIANS pits Australia's best athletes against
the Olympian Gods and asks, what's it all for?
KANDAHAR GATE is a new play by Australian dramatist Stephen Sewell.
This feverish "dream play" is loosely inspired by Akira Kurosawa's
1950 film "Rashomon," but transplants the action to contemporary
Australia and centres on the death of a soldier in Afghanistan. At
the dark heart of the play is an exploration of how 'truth' gets
buried - by governments, the military and one's own memory. It is a
powerful and deeply political piece of theatre from one of
Australia's great playwrights. With an introduction by Jeff
Janisheski.

With The Addresses And Invocation Delivered On The Occasion,
February 21, 1903.
Written with searing passion and dazzling momentum, Myth,
Propaganda and Disaster in Nazi Germany and Contemporary America
reverberates with the aftershocks of September 11. With compelling
drive and theatrical daring, we are swept from cocktails at the
Guggenheim to the hungry vacuum of Ground Zero. Stephen Sewell
demands answers to some of the most urgent questions of our times.
A savage comedy of manners, It Just Stopped explores our
relationship to art, globalisation, death, technology, America,
Campari, cardboard boxes and slavery. Sewell's play is funny and
shocking in turn. It holds the mirror up to the things we value
today and asks the questions: what will we value the day the world
just stops, and what would we be willing to trade for our own
survival?
