Of course, Dr Robert Ballard will forever remain the man who found the Titanic, but in this book he also provides the reader with an extremely well-documented account of the loss of the Lusitania. Mysteries are mysteries and whilst there are those experts which insist such and such happened, there will also be those who assert the opposite.

Принятое Гитлером решение о проведении операций германскими вооруженными силами не являлось необратимым, однако механизм подготовки вермахта к боевым действиям «запускался» сразу же, как только «фюрер и верховный главнокомандующий вооруженными силами решил». Складывалась парадоксальная ситуация, когда командование вермахта приступало к развертыванию войск в соответствии с принятыми директивами, однако само проведение этих операций, равно как и сроки их проведения (которые не всегда завершались их осуществлением), определялись единолично Гитлером.

During the 872-day siege of Leningrad from September 1941 to January 1944, civilians endured air raids, bread rations as low as 125 grams, food theft and speculation by opportunistic officials and shadow market traders, and death by starvation. As shocks of total war weaken institutions, desperate survival can compel violation of norms, and personal suffering can shatter long-held beliefs and practices.

Classical Greece and its legacy have long inspired a powerful and passionate fascination. The civilization that bequeathed to later ages drama and democracy, Homer and heroism, myth and Mycenae and the Delphic Oracle and the Olympic Games has, perhaps more than any other, helped shape the intellectual contours of the modern world.

Название: British Cavalry Standards

The general format of this book follows closely that of its companion, British Infantry Colours; for the sake of clarity, however, the coloured illustrations have not been kept at 54 mm as cavalry standards were relatively smaller than infantry colours. Again, for the same reason, the heavy background pattern of damask silk which is a feature of many standards has been omitted.

In November of 1940, the German pocket battleship Admiral Scheer attacked British Convoy HX-84. The Armed Merchant Cruiser HMS Jervis Bay, the only escort and mounting antique 6-inch guns, charged the Nazi raider. While the Jervis Bay did not stand a chance of surviving the battle, her crew's fatalistic bravery inspired awe in all who witnessed the fight. Watson describes how the Scheer's 11-inch guns turned the converted passenger liner into a burning hulk in twenty-two minutes, but most of the convoy escaped.

Not satisfied with having found the Titanic, this great explorer of Oceans set off in search of what many people believe to be the greatest Battleship ever built - the Bismarck. Whilst we are treated, once again to excellent illustrations by Ken Marschall of the wreck itself, my own favourite series of images are across pages 218/9 and show the Bismarck sinking, how it turned upside down allowing the big guns to fall away from their mountings, how it then turned right side up as it continued it's voyage - 3 miles down, until it came to rest creating a massive underwater landslide.
