The Desert Rats earned their famous nickname fighting against Axis forces in North Africa. At first the name referred to troops of the 7th Armoured Division, but later expanded to cover all Commonwealth troops: British, Australian, New Zealand and Indian, who fought in the desert from 1940-43. This book opens with a look at the unique conditions that the Desert Rats encountered in the Western Desert, then examines the recruitment and training of the men, and the evolving fighting methods and training of what eventually became the Eighth Army. Using photographs and newly commissioned artwork, the book also covers the distinctive dress, equipment and weapons carried into battle by the Desert Rats.

In 1964 Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, activated a joint unconventional task force known as the Studies and Observation Group—MACV-SOG. As a cover its mission was to conduct analysis of lessons learned in combat by all branches of service. SOG's real mission was to conduct covert strategic reconnaissance missions into Laos, Cambodia and South Vietnam as well as sabotage and 'Black' psychological operations. Ground, air and naval assets were employed to insert, collect, extract, and otherwise support these operations. This book tells the complete story of these covert agents, from their recruitment and training, through to their deadly black-ops in the jungles of Vietnam.

This book describes the life of a pirate in the early 18th century, the 'Golden Age of Piracy'. It charts the way these men (and a few women) were recruited, how they operated, what they looked like and what prospects their lives held. In the process the book strips away many of the myths associated with piracy to reveal the harsh realities of those who lived beyond the normal bounds of society. Written by pirate expert Angus Konstam, the book draws on decades of research into the subject, and pulls together information from a myriad of sources including official reports, contemporary newspaper reports, trial proceedings and court testimony last words on the scaffold, letters and diaries as well as archaeological evidence and relevant objects and artefacts from museum collections on both sides of the Atlantic. A must have for fans of the classic pirate stories or warfare in the early 18th century. | |

Название: French Foreign Legionnaire 1890–1914
Автор: Martin Windrow
Издательство: Osprey Publishing
Серия/номер в серии: Warrior/157
Год: 2011
Формат: PDF

Язык: English
As France emerged from the Franco-Prussian War she embarked on a period of active colonialism, acquiring territories in South-East Asia and Africa. By the turn of the century much of north, west and central Africa was under French control. In order to police all of these territories, the French needed an army and so the French Foreign Legion was born. In this book, world-renowned Legion expert Martin Windrow analyses what it would have been like to be a member of the French Foreign Legion and how the experience, equipment, tactics and training of the Legion developed in the 80 years between their foundation and the outbreak of the First World War. He investigates their glory years in North Africa and Indochina, and draws extensively on memoirs from two British legionnaires, peppering the text with extraordinary first-hand accounts of the French Foreign Legion.

Название: Война на Русском фронте. Итальянский экспедиционный корпус в России
Автор: Джованни Мессе

Год: 2009

Формат: PDF+Djvu+Doc

Язык: Русский
Кандидат исторических наук П.П.Васюков и исследователь-переводчик А.А.Тихомиров предлагают читателю не публиковавшиеся ранее в России воспоминания одного из главных участников похода итальянских войск на Восток (1941 - 1943 гг.) – Джованни Мессе. Эти воспоминания интересны тем, что они были опубликованы почти сразу после окончания Второй мировой войны в 1947 году. Сам автор заслуживает уважения, как боевой командир итальянской армии. Его блестящая военная карьера на фоне постоянных неудач итальянской армии в двух мировых войнах, подтверждает исключительность самого автора. Как офицер он прошел путь от лейтенанта до маршала Италии. Имел около двух десятков боевых наград. Одним из самых драматичных периодов в жизни и военной карьере Джованни Мессе было командование итальянским экспедиционным корпусом в России - К.С.И.Р. (C.S.I.R.) в 1941-1942 гг. Этим событиям его жизни посвящены воспоминания, а насколько объективно отражены в них исторические события - судить читателю и времени. | |
