If you cut your teeth on the history of the US Navy in World War II -- Morison, Friedman, Beech, Hornfischer -- you'll find this book an irrestible, and irreplaceable, addition to your bookshelf. In 260 thoroughly illustrated pages it sketches out exactly what US Navy doctrine was at the culmination of the most successful naval war in history, which left the US Navy in unquestioned command of all the world's oceans. It's a fascinating read, and a must for anyone interested in the history of the US Navy. It's also great context for understanding the DNA of modern naval warfare. While ranges and speeds have increased, most of the fundamental challenges in protecting fleets at sea remain largely unchanged.This book is annotated by Nimble AI and includes a Foreword by Jellicoe [AI]; a variety of pithy, opinionated abstracts including scientific style, tldr, tldr one word, Explain It to Me Like I'm Five Years Old, and Action Items; tools for viewpoint diversity such as Dissents, Red Team Critiques, and MAGA Perspectives; a recursive summary with synopsis; and an extended table of contents with summaries of each page.

Nur wenige Jahre nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs und des nationalsozialistischen Massenmords an dem europäischen Judentum widmeten sich deutsche und österreichische Militärexperten in Syrien und Ägypten der militärischen Ausbildung sowie der Entwicklung von Raketen und Jagdflugzeugen. Dies geschah in direkter Nachbarschaft zum gerade erst entstandenen Staat Israel, der zur Heimat von Holocaust-Überlebenden wurde.Im Mittelpunkt der ¿Straße der Störche¿ steht die Frage, mit welchen Motiven diese Experten in den Nahen Osten gingen. War es die zunächst gegebene Unmöglichkeit, im besiegten Deutschland den erlernten Beruf auszuüben, lockten üppige Entlohnung und das Leben in einer faszinierend-fremdartigen Umgebung oder spielte ungebrochene Judenfeindschaft eine wesentliche Rolle? Das Interesse gilt dabei deutschen Militärberatern in Syrien ebenso wie den Flugzeugkonstrukteuren - darunter auch Ernst Heinkel und Willy Messerschmitt - sowie den Raketenfachleuten im Land der Pharaonen.

Progress on the nation's second transcontinental railroad slowed in 1873. The Northern Pacific's proposed middle-the 250 miles between present Billings and Glendive, Montana-had yet to be surveyed, and Sioux and Cheyenne Indians opposed construction through the Yellowstone Valley, the heart of their hunting grounds. A previous surveying expedition along the Yellowstone River in 1872 had resulted in the death of a prominent member of the party, the near-death of the railroad's chief engineer, the embarrassment of the U.S. Army, and a public relations and financial disaster for the Northern Pacific.Such is the backdrop for Custer and the 1873 Yellowstone Survey, the story of the expedition told through documents selected and interpreted by historian M. John Lubetkin. The U.S. Army was determined to punish the Sioux, and the Northern Pacific desperately needed to complete its engineering work and resume construction. The expedition mounted in 1873-larger than all previous surveys combined-included "embedded" newspaper correspondents and 1,600 infantry and cavalry, the latter led by George Armstrong Custer.Lubetkin has gathered firsthand accounts from the correspondents, diarists, and reporters who accompanied this important expedition, including that of news correspondent Samuel J. Barrows. Barrows's narrative-written in a series of dispatches to the New York Tribune-provides a comprehensive, often humorous description of events, and his proficiency with shorthand enabled him to capture quotations and dialogue with an authenticity unmatched by other writers on the survey.The expedition marched west from the Missouri River in mid-June of 1873 and, in three months, covered nearly 1,000, often grueling miles. Encompassing the saga of transcontinental railroading, cultural conflict on the northern plains, and an array of important Indian and Anglo-American characters, Custer and the 1873 Yellowstone Survey will fascinate Custer fans and anyone interested in the history of the American West.

Ein dramatisches Leben in vier deutschen EpochenPeter Jacobs rekonstruiert die Vita des Dresdner Professors, dessen Tagebücher über den Alltag der Judenverfolgung zur literarischen Sensation wurden. Er erzählt von dem Aufstiegsversuch ins wilhelminische Bürgertum, der bitteren Erfahrung des Antisemitismus in der Weimarer Republik, der drohenden Vernichtung in Nazi-Deutschland und schließlich von den letzten Lebensjahren, die von Ehrungen begleitet und von neuen Zweifeln zerrissen wurden.

¿In the black out visit a bright inn.¿ So read stickers on the windows of Watney¿s pubs all over London. In Brewing for Victory, Brian Glover shows in lively detail how beer and pub culture aided Britain¿s community spirit during the Second World War. From ¿Guinness for Strength!¿ adverts to women shifting casks and packing coppers with hops, the effect the war had on brewing in England, and the effect brewing had on the war effort, is explored from every angle.Beginning at home in Britain and London, Glover tracks the course of tuns all the way out to the front line in the army, air force and navy. ¿Brewing under the jackboot¿ is also considered, with a chapter on breweries in British territory that had been captured by the Nazis, such as Guernsey. With over 70 illustrations showing war era adverts and bombed out boroughs with their pubs still standing, Brewing for Victory is a remarkable demonstration of the Blitz Spirit in action as the public, pubs and brewers worked together to maintain national social structures in the face of adversity.

In this ambitious new analysis of the first Indochina War, Shawn McHale explores why the communist-led Resistance in Vietnam won the anticolonial war against France, except in the South. Based on extensive archival research, this is the first definitive account in English exploring southern Vietnam's transition from colonialism to independence.

Legendary American novelist Jack Engelhard is equally regarded for his high standard of journalism, which for many years appeared as Op-ed columns in the Philadelphia Inquirer, and also in such publications as The New York Times. Today he enjoys a large worldwide following for his columns that appear on the popular Israeli news/opinion website Arutz Sheva/Israelnationalnews, English edition. There he is recognized for his discerning eye on politics and culture in both the United States and Israel, where he has served as an American volunteer in the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). In Writings Engelhard pulls no punches in this collection of columns about the political climate here and abroad that affects people worldwide. He is our conscience of today, pointing out distortions and corruption of our government and leaders. He is never afraid to tell us the truth no matter how difficult it is to face.

Behind the scenes of America's first TV war."With the proliferation of televisions, news networks strived to have the most exciting, dramatic, and attractive stories. They competed for the finest reporters, highest-rated equipment, and largest number of viewers. ... For the first time in American history, the news from the front lines was brought straight into the living room." - Jessie Kratz, Historian of the National ArchivesAs American families sat down for dinner in front of their TV sets 50 years ago, horrific stories from Vietnam flashed across the screen. It was one of the country's bloodiest conflicts and we had a front-row seat 10,000 miles awayVietnam has been the subject of hundreds of books, movies and commentaries for decades. But we know little about how these stories were gathered and told, nor about the men and women who risked everything to tell them. Our gaze back then was on the fighting at a time when the war everyone hated and feared reached a climax."Tales from Monkey Mountain: Stories of the Vietnam War" is a different account of Vietnam. It is a war seen through the eyes of a young Navy press escort officer stationed in DaNang, not far from the Demilitarized Zone separating the Vietnamese north and south.Mike Hoyt became immersed in almost every aspect of the war and in the telling of its stories. A trained journalist, Hoyt takes us into the heart of the conflict for a rare look behind the scenes at how the news media went about covering the fighting."Tales from Monkey Mountain" takes us on a journey through the strange, uncharted waters of news gathering in combat. We follow Hoyt down dangerous rivers, into smoky bars, through enemy attacks, onto the flight decks of aircraft carriers, on Swift Boats and river patrols, lumbering Navy supply boats dodging mines and into furious Naval gunfire support missions on the South China Sea.We glimpse the inner world of Vietnam and its remote, ancient villages and hamlets w

Pundits have long predicted the end of conventional warfare but for the foreseeable future, it is here to stay. Counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, peace enforcement, policing. All these forms, like conventional warfare, are as old as mankind. Modern militaries claim to be professional bodies, responsible for the education, control and discipline of their members. But at least one aspect of this claim is poorly executed: tactics are not taught to junior leaders, which is why this guide is essential reading for all junior leaders, officers and NCOs alike.There is a military adage that there is no teacher like the enemy. True; but the wise commander prepares to meet that enemy and become their teacher instead. This is your essential study guide.Praise for Praxis Tacticum"Praxis Tacticum" will help young leaders learn and master modern combat team tactics...It's a fascinating series of intellectual and practical exercises which will help those leading fast moving and hard-hitting troops in combat, a unique blend of both the science and art of war.Lieutenant-General (ret'd) The Hon.

Elephants have fought in human armies for more than three thousand years. Asian powers boasted of their pachyderm power, while the Romans fielded elephants alongside their legendary legions but were, perhaps, too proud to admit that mere animals contributed to victory. Elephants have gored, stomped, and sliced their way through infantry and cavalry with great success. They have also been cut, speared, bombed, and napalmed for their efforts. This is the story of their largely forgotten role in the history of warfare.Generals throughout recorded history have used elephants as tanks, bulldozers, and cargo trucks long before such vehicles existed. Until gunpowder began to reduce the utility of elephants in battle during the 17th Century, these beasts built roads, swung swords, or simply terrified opposing forces. Although some believe that elephants were mere gimmicks of warfare, Kistler discredits that notion. His book hopes to give elephants the credit they deserve for the sacrifices they have endured. Elephants have long fought for and served human masters, but it is now the elephants themselves that must be protected.

Roman Centurions feature prominently in the New Testament. A centurion stood at the foot of the cross when Christ was crucified. Jesus healed a centurion's servant and Paul interacted with centurions on multiple occasions. A centurion was even the first non-Jewish convert to Christianity. But who were these men, really? What did it mean to be a centurion? Why did the New Testament authors include them in their writings? This illuminating work provides the most thorough and comprehensive treatment to date on New Testament centurions in order to answer these questions and bring to light these often overlooked characters. Through a careful analysis of available military history and primary source texts, this book highlights the importance of centurions to the biblical narrative and sheds new light on the role these men played in the early church.

In dieser Sammlung werden insgesamt 20 Vor- und Nachworte bzw. Einführungen der Edition Schoáh & Judaica aus 38 Jahren präsentiert. Diese Texte sind je nach Kontext durchaus verschieden und unterscheiden sich auch im Verlauf der Jahre in ihrer Entstehung. Gleichgeblieben ist über rund vier Jahrzehnte die Hauptmotivation aller unserer Schriften, nämlich Erinnern für die Zukunft: Spuren zu sichern, zu sammeln und zu dokumentieren, alsdann so gut wie möglich öffentlich zu machen und zu erklären, um dadurch Erinnerungen wachzuhalten und aus dunklen wie hellen deutsch-jüdischen Lebenswelten für Gegenwart und Zukunft lernbar zu machen, was gelernt werden kann. Unsere Schriften wollen die Schoáh gemäß der Erinnerungen der Opfer verewigen und dadurch vor allem dem Kollektivgedächtnis Deutschlands, Israels und Menschen anderer Länder dienen. Wenn etwa Russland durch die Liquidierung der Menschenrechts- und Erinnerungs-Organisation Memorial möglicherweise beträchtlicher historischer Gedächtnisverlust droht, so wollen wir genau das Gegenteil: Auffrischung (boosting!), Schärfung und Stärkung des Gedächtnisses auch als Mahnung und Warnung des Gedenksteins von Treblinka: Nie wieder! Denn eingedenk alles Vergangenen die Augenblicke jeglicher Gegenwart als Möglichkeit des Anfangs einer besseren Zukunft zu nutzen, darin liegt die Chance einer konstruktiven, kreativen, produktiven Auseinandersetzung mit der Vergangenheit, des Lernenwollens und Lernenkönnens aus Geschichte, die stets mit vergegenwärtigender Erinnerung beginnen und mitnichten zu einem Holocaustkult führen müssen.

Il est des livres qui changent le monde. La première publication du Capital de Karl Marx, en 1867, à Hambourg, n'a rencontré aucun succès immédiat, mais a eu, quelques années plus tard, un retentissement croissant dans la Russie des Tsars, allant jusqu'à son renversement quelques décennies après. L'idée phare de ce livre qui véhicule une pensée simple mais ardue, est que le capitalisme est un système instable, aliénant les êtres humains, générant des conflits entre nations, provoquant troubles et misères sur la base de «¿l¿expropriation de la force de travail des travailleurs¿» par les bourgeois, via le principe du salariat. Ce livre, qu'on l'aime ou qu'on le déteste, a profondément bouleversé l'ordre établi, et on en voit encore les conséquences aujourd'hui, en Russie mais aussi en Chine ou en Corée du Nord. Memoria Books présente une version illustrée du Capital, en deux tomes, offrant une double grille de lecture. Le texte original de Marx, d'une part, et parallèlement, 89 illustrations (dont 44 dans le tome 2), qui représentent, au fil de la lecture, les conséquences à travers le temps de ce texte. Dans ce tome 2, les illustrations représentent les conséquences que ce livre a eu sur le monde... jusqu'à aujourd'hui.Toutes les illustrations sont réalisées par Yoann Laurent-Rouault, maître diplômé des Beaux-Arts de Rennes, qui a aussi réalisé la préface et le dossier documentaire de ce tome 2.

The Alabama 30th Infantry Regiment was organized at Talladega, Alabama, in April, 1862. The men were raised in the counties of Shelby, Saint Clair, Calhoun, Talladega, Jefferson, Franklin, Clay, Randolph, and Coosa. Ordered to Chattanooga, then further into East Tennessee, it was active at Cumberland Gap. The regiment went on to Kentucky and in December to Mississippi. Here it was assigned to General Tracy's Brigade, Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana. The 30th fought at Port Gibson, lost 229 officers and men at Champion's Hill, and was captured when Vicksburg fell. After being exchanged and assigned to Pettus' Brigade, it participated in various conflicts from Chattanooga and Bentonville. During January, 1863, this unit had 400 effectives, reported 21 casualties at Chattanooga, and in December, 1863, there were 506 present with 347 arms. In January, 1865, about 250 were fit for duty and 75 surrendered with the Army of Tennessee.

Au cours de la Grande Guerre, le sort des prisonniers français en Allemagne n'a jamais constitué une priorité pour le gouvernement français, les informations les concernant n'ont jamais été mises en avant. C'est donc en temps de guerre un sujet marginal. Tomber aux mains de l'ennemi, surtout en étant indemne est pour beaucoup de responsables politiques et militaires du pays, une marque de lâcheté, d'infamie, voire de trahison. Les déclarations de Joffre à ce sujet reflètent l'avis général. Cependant l'information concernant leur traitement devient, à partir d'octobre 1914, un enjeu dans la guerre médiatique à destination des opinions publiques et des neutres. Comme tous les grands périodiques, L'Illustration, par la publication de dessins, de photographies et d'articles a participé à cette campagne d'information - et de manipulation - quand il s'agissait de donner des nouvelles sur les prisonniers ennemis détenus par la France. Mais quel est le message que ses rédacteurs ont transmis à leurs lecteurs et à l'étranger sur les prisonniers français majoritairement détenus en Allemagne ? À quel rythme ? Sous quelle forme ? Quels étaient le niveau de validité des informations délivrées et l'objectif visé ?

Sechs Tage im Oktober 1813 führten zum Ende der Napoleonischen Vorherrschaft in Europa. Die Faszination der später so genannten Völkerschlacht lag nicht nur in der Masse der aufmarschierten Armeen. Es waren die Hunderttausende mit einer bislang noch nie dagewesenen Vielfalt ihrer Herkunftsländer. Erinnerungen zeichnen das Bild des kriegerischen Ereignisses. Sie wurden aufgeschrieben von Soldaten der siegreichen Armeen. Das waren Preußen und Mecklenburger, Russen, Österreicher, Schweden und Engländer.

More Nights Than Days is a unique exploration of the experience of children who survived the Holocaust-including Roma and Sinti victims-and the genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, and Bosnia. Children are among the principal victims of armed conflicts and slaughters; nonetheless, they perceive events through the prism of their unique perspective and have a range of coping techniques adults don't possess.This overview of writings of ninety-one child survivors bears evidence from a wide range of human ruthlessness. The author presents little-known texts along with famous memoirs and autobiographical fiction, with abundant quotations. Many of these are not only compelling as historical testimony, but poetic and stirringly expressive. Yudit Kiss has not written a historical study or literary criticism of the children's books. She explores, instead, what the authors went through and what they felt and understood about their experience. An accessible and captivating reading, this volume presents a close-up, human size dimension of the destruction. The books written by child survivors also describe the resources and means that helped them to remain human even in the deepest well of inhumanity, offering precious lessons about resistance and resilience.M

Im Jahre 1845 erschien in der Gerstenbergschen Buchhandlung zu Hildesheim unter dem Titel: "Beschreibung meiner Leiden und Schicksale während Napoleons Feldzuge und meiner Gefangenschaft in Rußland" ein Buch, das einen Teilnehmer an diesem Zuge, den späteren hannoverschen Förster Fleck zu Söhre bei Hildesheim, zum Verfasser hat. Das Buch überrascht durch seine anschauliche, schlichte und ergreifende Darstellung. Wohl besitzen wir von Offizieren, die an jenem Zuge teilnahmen, einzelne Memoiren, aber Darstellungen der Erlebnisse des einfachen Soldaten, noch dazu aus der eigenen Feder eines solchen, gibt es kaum. Und doch mußten damals 200,000 Deutsche den Fahnen Napoleons nach Rußland folgen! Was sie erlebt und erlitten haben, veranschaulichen uns Flecks Erlebnisse in anschaulicher Weise.

Der Autor des vorliegenden Berichtes, der als einfacher Subalternoffizier, fern von dem großen Leben des Hauptquartiers eine der schrecklichsten Episoden der Weltgeschichte mitdurchlitten hat, schildert schlicht und nüchtern seine Erlebnisse: Der Teil des Tagebuches, der die Zeit von dem Rückzug der Großen Armee aus dem brennenden Moskau bis zu den Greueln von Wilna behandelt, soll hier mitgeteilt werden.
