First published in 1987. War in the 18th century was a bloody business. A line of infantry would slowly march, to the beat of a drum, into a hail of enemy fire. Whole ranks would be wiped out by cannon fire and musketry. Christopher Duffy's investigates the brutalities of the battlefield and also traces the lives of the officer to the soldier from the formative conditions of their earliest years to their violent deaths or retirement, and shows that, below their well-ordered exteriors, the armies of the Age of Reason underwent a revolutionary change from medieval to modern structures and ways of thinking.

Anhand der Schlacht am Morgarten (1315) sowie der Schlachten von Gammelsdorf (1313), Mühldorf (1322) und Sempach (1389) untersucht Helen Wiedmaier exemplarisch, wie in der spätmittelalterlichen Historiographie Schlachten beschrieben und Männer als Kämpfer konstruiert wurden. Dafür werden die Schlachtenschilderungen in den Chroniken als Erzählungen verstanden und mittels narratologischer Analyseinstrumente untersucht. Die gewählten Schlachten bieten sich für eine solche Untersuchung aufgrund ihrer reichhaltigen Überlieferung an, da in allen Fällen die Perspektive der Sieger und Besiegten weitergegeben wurde, was die Möglichkeit bietet, unterschiedliche Intentionen und deren Umsetzung als Erzählungen zu untersuchen und zu vergleichen.In this book, Helen Wiedmaier analyses the depiction of men as fighters in written sources from the 14th and early 15th century which depict the battles at Gammelsdorf (1313), Morgarten (1315), Mühldorf (1322) and Sempach (1389). For this purpose, she used methods from narratological theories and considered different levels of meaning. Aside from including the point of view of the different authors and their audience, Wiedmaier also created categories such as 'individual fighter' or 'combatants operating in groups' to be able to analyse the different narrations about fighters. The existing sources provide the perspective of both the winning and the forfeiting parties. This makes it possible to analyse the different intentions of the writers and to compare their different depictions of men as fighters.

Die Frage der Seeherrschaft war in der Menschheitsgeschichte immer entscheidend. Als Symbol wissenschaftlicher und militärischer Größe waren es nur allzu oft die Kriegsflotten, die den Ausschlag gaben in den großen Konflikten eines Zeitalters, in dem das Flugzeug noch nicht erfunden war.

Als ein Kenner der Materie lädt JeanYves Delitte den Leser mit der vorliegenden Reihe ein, mitten einzutauchen ins Geschehen rund um die größten Seeschlachten der Geschichte von der Antike bis zum Zweiten WeltkriegDie Serie, ins Leben gerufen vom Seefahrt-Experten Jean-Yves Delitte (Black Crow, Neptune) läuft im Original unter dem Titel Les Grandes Batailles Navales. In loser Reihenfolge schildet jedes Album die historischen Ereignisse berühmter Seeschlachten.

1920. Translated from the French by Thurfrida Wake; Verses translated by Wilfrid Jackson. Whitlock writes in the Introduction about The Silence of Colonel Bramble: Every English officer one met was chuckling over it, and pointing out Old So-and-so in its pages as the original of this or that type. It was a picture not only of the Lennox Highlanders, but of every regimental and brigade mess in the army.

This book offers a ground-breaking approach to royalism and popular politics in Europe and the Americas during the Age of Revolutions. It shows how royalist and counterrevolutionary movements did not propose a mere return to the past, but rather introduced an innovative way of addressing the demands and expectations of various social groups. Ordinary people were involved in the war and adapted the traditional imaginary of the monarchy to craft new models of political participation. This edited collection brings together scholars from France, Spain, Norway, and Mexico, to provide a transatlantic comparative perspective. It is a must-read for scholars and students looking to discover the lesser-known side of the Age of Revolutions, and the motivations of those who fought in the name of the king.

Mit dem nur wenige Jahre nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg unternommenen Versuch einer Europäischen Verteidigungsgemeinschaft (EVG) unter westdeutscher Beteiligung betraten die sechs Mitgliedstaaten der Montanunion völliges Neuland. Es sollte eine mit umfassenden Kompetenzen ausgestattete multinationale Rüstungsverwaltung entstehen, um gleichermaßen die westdeutsche Aufrüstung zu kontrollieren und die Rüstungsanstrengungen der Westeuropäer zu koordinieren - mit dem Ziel, hohe Stückzahlen und maximale Qualität zu günstigen Preisen zu produzieren. Florian Seiller untersucht aus deutscher und französischer Perspektive die teilweise gegenläufigen Interessen der Akteure: Regierungen, Militärs, Rüstungsfachleute und Wirtschaftsverbände. Die in den Plandokumenten niedergelegten Kompromisse vermitteln einen bis heute unerreichten Grad europäischer Integration. Mit der Weiterentwicklung der Gemeinsamen Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik (GSVP) der Europäischen Union steht das Thema der Militär- und Rüstungsintegration wieder auf der Tagesordnung.

This book is a comprehensive study of more than 200 years of the shared and interconnected histories of Greek-Albanian relations, a field of inquiry that has not attracted the international scholarly attention it deserves. The book presents and analyses in detail topics including the contested borderland (1800-1912), the Greek Revolution (1821-1830) and Greek- Albanian entanglements during the Greek Revolution, Greek nationalism (identity and narrative), the Albanians (pre-modernism, belated nationalism, origin), the rise of Albanian nationalism, Albanian national identity and historical narrative, Greek-Albanian relations from the League of Prizren (1878) until Albania's declaration of independence (1912), Greek irredentism (the "Northern Epirus Question", 1912-1920) and Albania's precarious independence, Greek irredentism and Greek-Albanian relations (the "Northern Epirus Question", 1940-1971), the Greek minority in Albania, the Cham (Muslim Albanian) issue, the turbulent first part of the 1990s, the pending Greek-Albanian issues, and public opinion. It concludes with a road map for an eventual Albanian-Greek reconciliation. This volume will interest scholars and students of Southeastern Europe (Balkans), international relations and history, political science and sociology. It will also be a valuable resource for diplomats, journalists, think tanks and other organizations and institutions involved in the Balkans Greek-Albanian relations.

History paints war out to be a man's business, but there is an army of women warriors who stand between the lines of history books, waiting to be seen. This biographical dictionary tells the story of the females who armed themselves against threats to self, family, home and country. Spanning 17 periods of world history, it compiles the daring deeds of 1,622 female fighters, from Bronze Age archers and Viking raiders, to helicopter pilots and commanders of aircraft carriers. Entries summarize heroes such as the Old Testament judge Deborah, Joan of Arc, Elizabeth I, Aisha, Mary Spencer-Churchill, Calamity Jane, Cleopatra VII, Molly Pitcher, Aung San Suu Kyi and-- surprisingly-- Julia Child. Included are the famous stands the unheralded scrappers and risk-takers took up in fierce crises.
