Die eisenzeitlichen Steppennomaden Eurasiens bildeten ein einzigartiges Kulturareal, das sich vom heutigen Osteuropa bis nach Nordwestasien erstreckte. Ihr Kriegswesen - bestehend aus einer komplexen und kavalleriebasierten Strategie - erwuchs unmittelbar aus dem Reiternomadismus, der im Osten des Steppengürtels seinen Ursprung hatte.Das vorliegende Werk widmet sich der Kausalität zwischen der Wirtschaftsweise und dem Kriegswesen, welches sowohl die umfangreich erläuterte materielle Kultur, als auch das dargestellte und diskutierte strategische und taktische Repertoire der Reiterkrieger prägte.Die tiefgreifende Bedeutung des nomadischen Militärs fand nicht nur Niederschlag im Milieu der Steppenbewohner, sondern entfaltete auch nachhaltige Strahlkraft gegenüber den Heeren der angrenzenden sesshaften Kulturareale. Abgerundet wird die Studie mit einem feldforschungsbasierten Blick auf die identitätsstiftende Wirkung der antiken Reiterkrieger im postsowjetischen Steppengürtel.

Im Herbst 1923 ist die junge Demokratie in Deutschland von außen und innen bedroht. Der passive Widerstand gegen die Besetzung des Ruhrgebiets durch Frankreich und Belgien musste abgebrochen werden, die Hyperinflation hat das Land fest im Griff und die politische Lage ist instabil. Die Wirtschaft liegt am Boden, viele Menschen leben in Armut und sind von Zukunftsängsten geplagt. Linke und rechte Extremisten versuchen, diese dramatische Situation auszunutzen und die Macht an sich zu reißen. Am Abend des 8. November verkündet Adolf Hitler, der Führer der Nationalsozialisten, auf einer Veranstaltung im Münchner Bürgerbräukeller die Errichtung einer Diktatur in Deutschland und Bayern. Er rechnet mit der Unterstützung der rechtskonservativen Eliten um Generalstaatskommissar Gustav von Kahr, Bayerns Reichswehrchef Otto von Lossow und Landespolizeichef Hans von Seißer. Doch die drei Inhaber der realen Macht haben andere Pläne und bereiten gemeinsam mit Gesinnungskräften in Berlin selbst einen Staatsstreich vor. Hitler wird von den eigenen Anhängern zur Aktion getrieben und ist von der Furcht beherrscht, die Umwälzung, die nichts weniger bedeutet als die Beseitigung der Demokratie, werde ohne ihn stattfinden. Daher versucht er, mit einem voreiligen und dilettantischen Akt die Macht in die Hände zu bekommen. Der Versuch, in die Geschichte eingegangen als Hitler-Putsch, scheitert kläglich. Doch er verhindert den geplanten Staatsstreich - und so stellt sich die Frage: Hat Hitler ungewollt am 8./9. November die wankende Demokratie der Weimarer Republik gerettet? Armin Fuhrer zeichnet in einer Mischung aus spannender historischer Reportage und Analyse die Entwicklung zum Hitler-Putsch und die Ereignisse vom 8. und 9. November 1923 nach.

"When one attempts to set down [...] his impressions of a great gathering like the Conference on the Limitations of Armament, he will find himself swayed from amusement to irritation, from hope to despair, from an interest in the great end to an interest in the game as it is being played." -Ida Tarbell, The Peacemakers Peacemakers-Blessed and Otherwise (1922) by Ida Tarbell is a report on the Washington Naval conference held between 1921 and 1922 to discuss naval disarmament and ways to relieve growing tensions in East Asia.

The torpedo, then as now, is the ultimate close-range weapon for sinking ships; a mission that remains essential today.This book, published in 1890 by the United States Naval Torpedo Station (Newport, R.I.), was a comprehensive guide on how to connect, prime, and test spar torpedoes; fill them with gun-cotton; connect the wires using circuit-closers, and more. Spar torpedoes were attached to a spar on the bow of the ship and meant to detonate on contact with an enemy. Needless to say, the nature of the weapon presupposed that it would be deployed. By bold and skillful seamen.In this manual readers will discover a detailed overview of torpedo technology as well as helpful instructions for every stage of handling these powerful weapons. The step-by-step approach makes it easy to understand even complex topics like wiring diagrams and primers that may be too confusing otherwise. The US Naval Torpedo Station experts provided their expertise on topics that range from basic torpedo assembly checkout procedures all the way up to intricate explosion mechanisms. This document reflects well on the technical capabilities of the US Navy at the end of the 19th Century.
