 Author: Norman Friedman The Postwar Naval Revolution Naval Institute Press 1986 Format: PDF Pages: 244 Language: English Size: 46.3 MB Based on much recently released documentation, this book deals not only with overall policy and strategy, but also with the technicalities of ship design and weapon procurement Many hitherto unpublished warship design studies are included, emphasising as usual in Norman Friedman's books the factors determining the design, and in these cases the reasons why they were never built. Since the period under review dictated the shape of navies for decades to come, this work is a significant contribution to the understanding of contemporary naval developments. Indeed, many of the problems of the 1950s merely foreshadowed those of the present, so this study of their solutions is highly relevant for the policy planning of today.

 Author: Al Venter Barrel of a Gun: A War Correspondent's Misspent Moments in Combat Casemate Pub ISBN: 1935149253 2010 Format: EPUB Size: 10,0 МБ Language: English Pages: 480 "Anybody who says that the pen is mightier than the sword hasn't spent time in Somalia, or in Beirut during its bloody heyday." So begins this fascinating memoir of a journalist, filmmaker, and just plain raconteur who has made a career of examining warfare-on the ground and as the bullets are flying. While the average citizen is aware of violent conflicts broiling all around the globe, Al J. Venter-from some strange compulsion unexplainable even by him-has felt the need to see them all in person, preferably at the center of the action. Born in South Africa, Venter has found no shortage of horrific battles on his own continent, from Rhodesia to Biafra, and Angola to Somalia. He has ridden with the legendary merc group Executive Outcomes, jumped into combat with South Africa's crack Parachute Regiment (the Parabats), and traipsed the jungles with both guerrillas and national troops under whichever strongman in the country then held power. During Sierra Leone's civil war he flew in the government's lone Mi-24 Hind gunship as it blasted apart rebel villages and convoys, his complaint being that the Soviet-made craft leaked when it rained.

 Author: S. Byshok, A. Kochetkov Neonazis & Euromaidan: From Democracy to Dictatorship (3d edition) 2014 Format: PDF Size: 1 Mb Language: English The book describes the development of the Ukrainian radical nationalist groups from 1991 to the present, including the «Right sector» and Svoboda («Freedom») party (up to 2004 — the Social-National Party of Ukraine), discusses their ideology, psychology and methods of political struggle.

In the Arab countries during the «Arab Spring» in 2010 — radical Islamism. In Ukraine in 2013-2014, the trend has become so radical nationalism that has absorbed pro-democracy and pro-European originally agenda.

 Jet Planes of the Third Reich - The Secrets Projects, Vol. 1 Author: Manfred Griehl Monogram Aviation Publications 1998 ISBN: 978-0914144366 Format: pdf Pages: 202 Size: 127 Mb Language: English, English This first volume of Jet Planes of the Third Reich, The Secret Projects covers mainly those German jet and rocket aircraft projects that were designed prior to V-E Day, but failed to reach prototype status. In addition, it examines those few projects that actually reached an advanced stage of construction prior to the end of the war in Europe and also those special projects that were further developed in the immediate postwar years. Proceeding through this volume, you will be amazed at the number, diversity, and originality of the various German aircraft projects. It is an astonishing record - there was no shortage of ideas or creativity - every idea and possibility, no matter how unorthodox, was explored, expanded and advanced. Some projects were nothing more than serious flights of fancy, such as the multitude of Junkers "EFo" studies in the early forties. Others were quite a different matter. A few might even be considered relatively "modern" if viewed from the perspective of current aircraft design. 155 photo, 72 drawing plates.

 : Dear Leader: North Korea's senior propagandist exposes shocking truths behind the regime Author : Jang Jin-sung Rider : 2014 Pages: 352 Format : EPUB Size : 1,4 MB Language : English Dear Leader contains astonishing revelations about North Korea that could only be disclosed by a regime insider. Jang Jin-sung worked at the heart of North Korea’s propaganda machine. Young and ambitious, he had access to state secrets, including information about military and diplomatic policies, and the distribution of power. He was also one of the Hermit Kingdom’s leading poets, whose work secured him an audience with Kim Jong-il himself. As one of the ‘Admitted’, he had every reason to feel satisfied with his lot. Yet he could not ignore his conscience, or the contrast between his life and that of those he saw starving on the street. After breaking security rules, he and a friend were forced to flee for their lives. Read Full Post German Battleships 1897-1945
 Author: R. A. Burt German Battleships 1897-1945 Arms and Armour Press ISBN: 0853689857 1989 Format: PDF Size: 11,5 МБ Language: English Pages: 50 The concept of the modern German Navy dates only from the time of Kaiser Wilheim II and so it can be classed as a relatively new maritime power. Until about 1880, the only function of the German fleet had been to deter enemy raids on the German coastline, consequently only small coastal defence vessels were built. A newly formed German Naval Command (1889) was well aware that if expansion of territory were required, a large fleet would have to be created to match that of Great Britain and perhaps gain control of the Atlantic and North Sea.

 Flight Craft 5: Sukhoi Su-15: The 'Boeing Killer' Author: Yefim Gordon and Dmitriy Kommissarov Pen & Sword Books Ltd Pen and Sword Aviation 2015 ISBN-13: 978 1 47382 390 7 Pages: 96 Language: English Format: EPUB Size: 18 MB In the late 1950s, the Sukhoi Design Bureau, already an established fighter maker, started work on a successor to its Su-9 and Su-11 single-engined interceptors for the national Air defense Force. Similar to its predecessors, the new aircraft designated Su-15 had delta wings; unlike the Su-9/Su-11, however, it had twin engines and lateral air intakes freeing up the nose for a powerful fire control radar. First flown in May 1962, the Su-15 officially entered service in 1965 and was built in several versions, the late ones having cranked-delta wings and a more capable radar. Being an air defense fighter, the Su-15 frequently had to deal with intruders. Unfortunately the aircraft gained notoriety in two separate incidents involving shoot-downs of Boeing airliners (a 707 in 1978 and a 747 in 1983), both of which were South Korean and had intruded into Soviet airspace on what was very probably clandestine spy missions. This book describes the developmental and service history of the Sukhoi-Su-15, containing a comprehensive survey of all model-making kits currently available on the market.
