Язык: немецкий Für das Deutsche Reich waren sie nur ein »notwendiges Übel«. Da der Einsatz deutscher Soldaten in den neu erworbenen Kolonien weder aus finanziellen noch aus gesundheitlichen Gründen ratsam erschien, rekrutierte die Kolonialmacht zwischen 1884 und 1918 mehrere zehntausend Söldner in Afrika, Asien und Ozeanien für ihre Kolonialtruppen. An Bewerbern für den Militärdienst mangelte es nicht. Für viele in den Kolonialgebieten lebende Männer war der Soldatenberuf attraktiv, eröffnete er doch die Aussicht auf ein Leben in relativem Wohlstand und die Chance auf einen sozialen Aufstieg. Manche blieben bis zu ihrer Pensionierung in der Armee, andere verließen das Militär schon nach kurzer Zeit wieder, um sich mit dem gesparten Sold eine Existenz als Händler oder Bauer aufzubauen. Von ihrem Arbeitgeber ließen sich die Söldner nicht zum bloßen Befehlsempfänger degradieren, sondern nahmen ihr Schicksal aktiv in die Hand und kämpften mit erstaunlichem Selbstbewusstsein für ihre Rechte. Basierend auf den neuesten Forschungsergebnissen und eigenen Quellenstudien rekonstruiert der Historiker Thomas Morlang nun erstmals die weitgehend in Vergessenheit geratene Geschichte dieser Söldner in den deutschen Kolonien.

Museum Monograph No. 10. Even before the still-unexplained destruction of the U.S. battleship Maine in Havana Harbor on February 15, 1898, many Americans believed that war with Spain over the question of Cuban independence had become inevitable. After the Maine incident, a number of individuals across the nation expected an immediate declaration of war and requested authorization to organize volunteer units. One of the most-persistent and certainly one of the best-organized efforts took place in Arizona. It became the genesis of Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders.

This book explores the development of Polikarpov's fighting biplanes from the 2I-N1 to his first aircraft to see production; to the I-3 and the I-5 created while the designer was in prison. This design paved the way for the I-15 which earned fame as the Chato during the Spanish Civil War and also saw action against the Japanese, and the I-15bis, which owed its existence mainly to Soviet Air Force's prejudice against gull wings; and the famous I-153 Chaika, a gull-wing biplane with retractable-landing gear. Experimental versions of this aircraft are also included. This title includes a detailed account of these aircraft's' combat roles and structural descriptions. The book also features details of the ill-starred I-190, which was to have superceded the Chaika, and of privately owned I-15bis and I-153s that have been restored to airworthy condition.
