From planning and preparation to reaching landing zones, from beachhead consolidation to securing a target, Amphibious Warfare offers the complete picture of the people, strategy and tactics, ships and landing craft, tanks and aircraft, as well as the assaults involved.

 Название: Blown to Hell: America's Deadly Betrayal of the Marshall Islanders
Автор: Walter Pincus
Издательство: Diversion Books
Год: 2021
Страниц: 416
Язык: английский
Формат: epub
Размер: 10.1 MB
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Walter Pincus exposes the darkest secret in American nuclear history―sixty-seven nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands that decimated a people and their land. The most important place in American nuclear history are the Marshall Islands―an idyllic Pacific paradise that served as the staging ground for over sixty US nuclear tests. It was here, from 1946 to 1958, that America perfected the weapon that preserved the peace of the post-war years. It was here―with the 1954 Castle Bravo test over Bikini Atoll―that America executed its largest nuclear detonation, a thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima. | |
