Название: The Rise and Fall of the Swedish Empire Автор: Patrik Nilsson Издательство: Eken Press Год: 2021 Формат: EPUB Страниц: 145 Размер: 10,9 МБ Язык: Английский
Between the years 1560 and 1721, the Swedes endeavored to turn the Baltic Sea into a Swedish lake. Generations of young men perished in a seemingly endless series of wars. How was it possible for an insignificant country on the outskirts of Europe, with small cities and a scant population, to develop into a great power? Convinced that God was on their side, the army marched across the ice of a frozen sea to take the enemy by surprise.

Название: A Short History of the American Revolution Автор: James L. Stokesbury Издательство: Quill Год: 1993 Формат: PDF Страниц: 304 Размер: 33,7 МБ Язык: Английский
The first one-volume survey of the American Revolution that is both objective and comprehensive, this outstanding narrative history traces the growth of a conflict that inexorably set the American colonies on the road to independence. Offering a spirited chronicle of the war itself -- the campaigns and strategies, the leaders on both sides, the problems of fielding and sustaining an army, and of maintaining morale -- Stokesbury also brings the reader to the Peace of Paris in 1783 and into the militarily exhausted, financially ruined yet victorious United States as it emerged to create a workable national system.

Taylor's neutral account of U.S. gun culture never loses sight of the fact that guns are all around us. With millions of guns and gun owners, it is imperative that policy and future research pertaining to guns consider the relative cultural and symbolic value that gun owners place on their guns.

Название: Helicopters Автор: Jill Wolf Издательство: Antioch Publishing Company Год: 1991 Формат: PDF Страниц: 29 Размер: 14,8 МБ Язык: Английский
Helicopters may not be as sleek and fast as airplanes, but they can do things that an airplane can't. They can hover in midair, fly sideways or backwards, maneuver in tight places, and take off and land vertically without a runway. Since a helicopter can land on a rooftop or take off from a ship deck, it can be a lifesaver. It can rescue people from a burning building, a shipwreck, or a cliff. It can lift heavy loads and carry people and supplies wherever they're needed. The helicopter has also given military forces an edge, from the Korean War to Desert Storm.
