Победный 1944-й не зря величали «годом Десяти Сталинских ударов» – Красная Армия провела серию успешных наступлений от Балтики до Черного моря. И самым триумфальным из них стала операция «Багратион» – сокрушительный удар советских войск в Белоруссии, увенчавшийся разгромом группы армий «Центр» и обвалом немецкого фронта. Эту блистательную победу по праву прозвали «Сталинским блицкригом» и «возмездием за 1941 год» – темпы наступления наших войск в Белоруссии были сравнимы со стремительным продвижением Вермахта тремя годами ранее, хотя Красная Армия и не имела преимущества стратегической внезапности. Как Рокоссовский превзошел великого Багратиона? Почему немцы «пропустили удар» и впервые не смогли восстановить фронт? Каким образом наши войска умудрились вести маневренную войну на территории, которую противник считал танконедоступной и фактически непроходимой? В чем секрет этого грандиозного триумфа, ставшего одной из самых «чистых» и славных побед русского оружия? В последней книге ведущего военного историка вы найдете ответы на все эти вопросы. |

In early 1812, as the British and the Americans were on the brink of war in North America, Fort St. Joseph was not thought to be of much importance to the British cause. It was disregarded as a useless, poorly located post. But when war was delcared, the garrison at Fort St. Joseph pulled off a miracle: it captured the American Fort Mackinac, and for the remainder of the War of 1812 the British never relinquished control of the Upper Great Lakes. Built in the aftermath of the American Revolution, Fort St. joseph played an important role in the defence of Canada. And yet, when the war ended, the fort was abandoned, and almost forgotten. However, there were those who could not forget the heroics of 1812. They sought to restore the memory of the fort that was part of one of the defining moments in Canadian history. Determined individuals campaigned for government assistance and public support. Their efforts have paid off: since the 1960s, St. Joseph Island and the site of the fort have been revived as tourist destinations, and there are high hopes for an even greater tribute to the legacy of the fort and its soldiers. |

Once warfare became established in ancient civilizations, it's hard to find any other social institution that developed as quickly. In less than a thousand years, humans brought forth the sword, sling, dagger, mace, bronze and copper weapons, and fortified towns. The next thousand years saw the emergence of iron weapons, the chariot, the standing professional army, military academies, general staffs, military training, permanent arms industries, written texts on tactics, military procurement, logistics systems, conscription, and military pay. By 2,000 B.C.E., war was an important institution in almost all major cultures of the world. This book shows readers how soldiers were recruited, outfitted, how they fought, and how they were cared for when injured or when they died. It covers soldiers in major civilizations from about 4000 B.C.E. to about 450 C.E. Topics are discussed cross-culturally, drawing examples from several of the cultures, armies, and time periods within each chapter in order to provide the reader with as comprehensive an understanding as possible and to avoid the usual Western-centric perspective too common in analyses of ancient warfare. |

A mediados del año 1935, durante la presidencia de Agustín Pedro Justo, se produjo un gran debate parlamentario con interpelación a los ministros de Guerra, General de Brigada Manuel Augusto Rodríguez, y de Marina, Capitán de Navio Eleazar Videla, motivado en la aparente inseguridad en la actividad de vuelo que repercutía en la capacidad de proveer una adecuada respuesta a la Defensa Nacional. El debate que tuvo como principal impulsor y seguidor al diputado demócrata progresista Julio Argentino Noble, se había originado en una serie de accidentes de aeronaves tanto civiles como militares, entre los que se destacaban los aviones de fabricación nacional de la serie Aé.M.O./Aé.C denominados por aquella época "prototipos". Si bien el desarrollo de las sesiones permitió establecer que el nivel de seguridad aérea era simi-lar al de los países con mayor desarrollo aeronáutico, los temas relativos a la obsolescencia del material de vuelo militar y a la capacidad de disuasión creíble brindaron un marco apropiado para que los legisladores elaboraran un proyecto de ley tendiente al equipamiento de las fuerzas armadas con material aéreo acorde a los tiempos. |

The Peloponnesian War resonates with contemporary events like few other episodes in ancient history. Though a democracy, Athens warred with its neighbors for decades in a doomed bid to secure its Aegean and Mediterranean empire. The ambitious city-state's eventual reward was defeat and tyrannical rule, effectively ending Athens's Golden Age, which flourished during the war in the fifth century BC. Not coincidentally did Athens flourish economically, militarily, artistically, and philosophically during the fifth century BC. Empire created great wealth, which supported the then novel democratic government. Wealth also supported the arts and letters. This was the time of Socrates, Plato, Aristophanes, Perikles and Thucydides, figures whose works and musings on war and its effects are widely read to this day. Designed as an accessible introduction to this immensely important event, The Peloponnesian War offers readers and researchers an appealing mix of descriptive chapters, biographical sketches, and annotated primary documents. An overview of the war is presented, followed a presentation of Thucydides' account of the war's causes. A look at the intertwined, some would say poisoned, relation of democracy and empire is offered, as are chapters on how the war was represented in plays, statuary, and pottery. The ethics of war are delved into by detailing the life, teachings, and eventual death of Socrates. And, critically, a chapter is devoted to those who most often suffer the harmful consequence of war: women. A glossary of terms is present, as is an annotated timeline, maps, useful illustrations, an annotated bibliography, and a thorough index. |

81 full color photographs, 21 U.S. Army technical drawings This ninth installment in the very insightful WARMACHINES series is the second volume dedicated to variants of the prolific M113 family of armored vehicles.

In service with America's armed forces, accustomed to enjoying the fruits of world technological leadership, the McDonnell Phantom II fighter represented—for all its extraordinary angularity—an astonishing masterpiece of design ingenuity and commercial persistence. It moreover reversed the time-honoured, but hitherto apparently irreversible convention whereby naval air forces had had to rest content with deck-landing adaptations of aircraft primarily evolved for shore-based operation. Designing the aircraft from the outset for shipboard use by the United States Navy, and beaten in early competitive evaluation by design tenders from elsewhere, the manufacturers persevered in the belief that they in fact possessed a potential world-beater, and succeeded in producing not only by far the most potent naval fighter in the world but one whose performance and punch came near to eclipsing the most sanguine future tactical requirements of the land-based United States Air Force. That this phenomenon should occur during a period of relative peace in international affairs was also to some extent fortuitous, as previous experience had tended to support the theory that the greatest technological strides (and therefore those with least rrstraint placed upon them) came only to fruition during a state of war, or with the threat of such, and it enabled the United States Air Force to acquire a superlative and operationally flexible combat aeroplane in large numbers, at minimum realistic cost, in time to contribute a vital role in America's traumatic involvement in the Vietnam conflict. |
