The impact of the tank in any conflict scenario is well recognized. Heavily armoured, carrying formidable firepower, capable of travelling at speed in any weather across almost any terrain. The requirement for effective anti-tank systems is, therefore, of paramount concern to all armed forces of all nations. This volume describes all systems commonly available today. From shoulder-fired ATGWs, through to the new and highly sophisticated "fire-and-forget" ground-based and airborned systems. This is an easy-to-use guide to an essential element of a fighting power's deterrent.

In 1961 the United Kingdom granted formal independence to the protectorate of Kuwait, which then became the Emirate of Kuwait. This small but oil-rich nation had for long been coveted by Iraq, its much larger northern neighbour, which became completely independent of the UK's League of Nations (and later United Nations) mandate in 1958, the year in which the monarchy was overthrown by the Ba'athist republic. Iraq never recognised Kuwait, and on several occasions in the following 30 years laid claim to parts or the entirety of Kuwait, Apart from its large oil reserves, reckoned in 1995 at 96.5 billion barrels to Iraq's 100 billion barrels, Kuwait was wanted by Iraq for the fact that it had a comparatively extensive coast along the western side of the Persian Gulfs northern end, whereas Iraq proper has only a very short coast that lies within the military reach of Iran. Iraq adheres mainly to the Sunni branch of Islam and has a strong antipathy to Iran and its adherence to the Shi'a branch of Islam. Coupled with the desire to seize the oil-rich regions along Iran's western border, this was sufficient to persuade the Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, to launch a major war against Iran in 1980. This conflict, which was very costly in terms of casualties and money, lasted to 1988 without any real resolution...

Tim Moreman examines the creation and deployment of British 8th Army, probably the most famous military formation raised by the British during World War II. Formed in September 1941 from the Western Desert Force, it went on to wage a lengthy, hard-fought campaign against German and Italian troops across the deserts of North Africa. It was composed of British and Commonwealth troops - as well as smaller numbers of French and Polish troops. Additionally, a variety of specialized elite forces came under its umbrella including the Special Air Service, Popski's Private Army and the Long Range Desert Group. This book will provide a fascinating insight into these unconventional troops who became the inspiration for today's Special Forces. It was also the first Allied army to rely on close air support; a revolutionary, war-winning tactic that would shaped combined forces strategy throughout the rest of the war. The Desert War was unlike any other fought by the British Army. The hot, dusty, and unforgiving climate and environment in which its troops lived, moved, and fought was almost as troublesome as the enemy. During its two-year period of service in North Africa, 8th Army underwent major changes in organization, equipment, and training to adapt it to the terrain. Discover the difficulties of desert warfare and how these were overcome by the 8th Army to defeat Rommel and become masters of the desert.

From their establishment in June 1940, the Commando units conducted a succession of daring hit-and-run raids from the sea into North-West Europe, Scandinavia, Italy and the Middle East. Among the highly publicised Commando operations were the raids on Vaagso, Dieppe, and St Nazaire. The Commandos also spawned a range of other Special Forces, including the Special Air Service, Special Boat Service and the Parachute Regiment. This Battle Orders title provides a detailed examination of the Army (and later Royal Marine) Commandos raised in the United Kingdom, from their inception in 1940 through to 1946, when the Army Commandos were disbanded and the role was assigned exclusively to the Royal Marines.

Перед вами итоговый том документально-публицистического исследования Александра Осокина «Великая тайна Великой Отечественной». Доказывая свою гипотезу о том, что 22 июня 1941 года началась «не та война», к которой готовились Сталин и Гитлер, автор воссоздал уникальную по подробностям картину первого дня боевых действий. Он собрал и прокомментировал факты и документы, во многом меняющие хрестоматийные представления о событиях начала Великой Отечественной войны и предвоенных лет. Если же какие-то версии Александра Осокина покажутся читателю парадоксальными или даже невероятными, не стоит дожидаться того часа, когда гостеприимно распахнутся все архивы, сейфы, «особые папки» – и все странное станет понятным, а тайное явным. Думайте, сопоставляйте, делайте выводы сами, глаза открыты.
