Celebrated historian Winston Groom tells the intertwined and uniquely American tales of George Patton, Douglas MacArthur, and George Marshall - from the World War I battle that shaped them to their greatest victory: leading the allies to victory in World War II. These three remarkable men-of-arms who rose from the gruesome hell of the First World War to become the finest generals of their generation during World War II redefined America's ideas of military leadership and brought forth a new generation of American soldier. Their efforts revealed to the world the grit and determination that would become synonymous with America in the post-war years. | |

Название: Roman Guardsman 62 BC–AD 324

From the civil wars of the Late Republic to Constantine's bloody reunification of the Empire, elite corps of guardsmen were at the heart of every Roman army. Whether as bodyguards or as shock troops in battle, the fighting skills of praetorians, speculatores, singulares and protectores determined the course of Roman history. Modern scholars tend to present the praetorians as pampered, disloyal and battle-shy, but the Romans knew them as valiant warriors, men who strove to live up to their honorific title pia vindex - loyal and avenging.

Despite the attention paid to the Afrikakorps over the years, it was the numerically far superior forces of the Italian Army that held the line and formed the bulk of the fighting power available to the Axis powers during the War in the Desert from 1941 through to 1943. Their performance has been unfairly criticised over the years - the best units of the Italian Army were equal to those of the British and Germans - but they suffered from a lack of mobility and poor equipment that made it impossible for them to meet mobile British forces on anywhere near equal terms.

Название: French Musketeer 1622–1775
Автор: Rene Chartrand

Язык: English
The works of French novelist Alexandre Dumas have been reproduced time and again on stage and screen. Based on a genuine memoir by an officer named D'Artagnan, Dumas published The Three Musketeers. The King's Musketeers were formed in 1622 and were populated by young men of noble birth, but often of poorer means. The Musketeers served as a form of military academy, which enabled these men to qualify for commission into the regular army, but the academy was not just a schoolroom - the Musketeers served in all major battles and campaigns of the period; their reputation for bravery was well deserved. This title explores the history behind the legends created by Dumas. Drawing on historical and fascinating accounts the truth of this most colourful and flamboyant of units is revealed.

Название: Early Aegean Warrior 5000–1450 BC

Язык: English
The mainland and islands of Greece were extensively settled by peoples moving from Asia Minor in c.5000 BC, while a further wave in c.5000 BC introduced bronze-working to the region. It is form this point on that it is possible to discern a distinct Cycladic or Aegean civilisation, developing at roughly the same time as the Egyptian and Persian civilisations. Further to the south, the Minoan civilisation based on Crete held sway, and this power - along with the Helladic Achaeans to the north gradually swamped the Cycladic civilisation in between.

Название: Roman Legionary AD 69–161
Автор: Ross Cowan

Язык: English
Between AD 69 and 161 the composition of the Roman legions was transformed. Italians were almost entirely replaced by provincial recruits, men for whom Latin was at best a second language, and yet the ‘Roman-ness' of these Germans, Pannonians, Spaniards, Africans and Syrians, fostered in isolated fortresses on the frontiers, was incredibly strong. They were highly competitive, jealous of their honour, and driven by the need to maintain and enhance their reputations for virtus, that is manly courage and excellence.

Название: Товарищи китайские бойцы
Автор: Новогрудский Г., Дунаевский А.
Издательство: Воениздат
Год: 1959
Формат: PDF
Качество: Отсканированные страницы

Язык: Русский
Действия китайских добровольцев Красной Армии в годы гражданской войны связываются обычно с Востоком нашей страны. Однако китайские красноармейские подразделения плечом к плечу с русскими братьями боролись за власть Советов также на полях Юга и Центра России. Задавшись целью осветить неизвестные страницы истории гражданской войны, писатели Г. Новогрудский и А. Дунаевский предприняли большой литературный поиск. В течение трех лет шаг за шагом шли они по следам героического Владикавказского китайского батальона и его командира Пау Ти-Сана, боевой путь которого пролег от предгорий Кавказского хребта до песков Средней Азии. В живой, увлекательной форме авторы воскрешают незабываемые события 1917-1920 годов, впервые с достаточной полнотой раскрывая перед читателем картину участия в них китайских добровольцев. | |
