   The Military Balance 2013 
Author: The Military Balance 2013 The International Institute For Strategic Studies 2013 Format: PDF Size: 126.84 MB Language: English Read Full Post Twenty Million Yankees - The Northern Home Front
 Author: Donald Dean Jackson Twenty Million Yankees - The Northern Home Front (The Civil War Series) Time-Life Books 1985 Format: PDF Pages: 184 Language: English Size: 32.2 MB In a sense, "Twenty Million Yankees: The Northern Home Front" is one of the secondary books in the Time-Life series on The Civil War. After all, this book by Donald Dale Jackson and the Editors of Time-Life Books does not talk about battles or generals, politicians or issues. What it does do is look at what things were like for the common folks back home (a similar volume, "Confederate Ordeal" looks at the Southern side of the equation).

Read Full Post Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler
 Author:Antony C. Sutton Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler G S G & Associates Pub 1976 Format:DJVU Size:1.3 MB Language:English ISBN: 0945001533 This is the third and final volume of a trilogy describing the role of the American corporate socialists, otherwise known as the Wall Street financial elite or the Eastern Liberal Establishment, in three significant twentieth-century historical events: the 1917 Lenin-Trotsky Revolution in Russia, the 1933 election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the United States, and the 1933 seizure of power by Adolf Hitler in Germany. Each of these events introduced some variant of socialism into a major country — i.e., Bolshevik socialism in Russia, New Deal socialism in the United States, and National socialism in Germany. Contemporary academic histories, with perhaps the sole exception of Carroll Quigley's Tragedy And Hope, ignore this evidence. On the other hand, it is understandable that universities and research organizations, dependent on financial aid from foundations that are controlled by this same New York financial elite, would hardly want to support and to publish research on these aspects of international politics. The bravest of trustees is unlikely to bite the hand that feeds his organization. It is also eminently clear from the evidence in this trilogy that "public-spirited businessmen" do not journey to Washington as lobbyists and administrators in order to serve the United States. They are in Washington to serve their own profit-maximizing interests. Their purpose is not to further a competitive, free-market economy, but to manipulate a politicized regime, call it what you will, to their own advantage. It is business manipulation of Hitler's accession to power in March 1933 that is the topic of Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler. Read Full Post Strategy & Tactics of War
 Author: Ned Willmott, John Pimlott Strategy & Tactics of War Chartwell Books Inc. 1979 Format: PDF Pages: 250 Language: English Size: 42.5 MB In The Strategy and Tactics of War Ned Willmott and John Pimlott explore the art of war historically, and with particular reference to its development in the twentieth century. The book breaks down into three main areas: land, sea and air, and within each one, the development of strategy and the implementation of tactics is detailed. Such problems as how dependence on the lessons learned (belatedly) from the trench warfare of World War I blinkered Allied response to the German tank blitzkrieg of 1940; the grim lessons only now being really understood from the failure of strategic air bombing of civilian and commercial targets ; the initial success of the German naval blockade of Britain and how the convoy system overcame the U-boat threat - all these, and many more, are discussed in this engrossing book. The Strategy and Tactics of War provides an absorbing glimpse into the living military history of our time. Read Full Post The City of Akhenaten. Part I: Excavations of 1921 and 1922 at El' Amarneh.

 Author: Anthony Tucker-Jones The Afghan War: Operation Enduring Freedom 2001-2014 Pen and Sword Military Modern Warfare ISBN: 1783030208 2014 Format: EPUB Pages: 128 Size: 6 Mb Language: English Drugs, war and terrorism were the unholy trinity that brought the US-led air campaign crashing down on the Taliban regime in Afghanistan in October 2001 in Operation Enduring Freedom, and this photographic history is a graphic introduction to it. The immediate aim was to eject the Taliban from power, and to capture or kill the al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and his supporters whom the Taliban were sheltering. The decade-long war that followed, first against the Taliban regime, then against Taliban insurgents, is one of the most controversial conflicts of recent times.
