The book is an excellent study of the psychological motives and actions of men in aerial combat and how the pilots reacted to the stress of flying in an enclosed space. Klinkowitz examines in detail previously published personal accounts of witnesses of the air battles over Europe and the Mediterranean during World War II, addressing readers of previous memoirs and fiction works on the air war. Along the way, he uncovers such little-examined items as the use of the "sports" metaphor and what it meant in the campaign against the German Air Force. The motives, conventions, and literary styles of this aviation literature, especially the personal accounts, has never been examined, and Klinkowitz has managed to produce an engaging study suitable for libraries interested in the subject.

История британских спецслужб – тема неисчерпаемая, а взаимосвязь последних с судьбой и деятельностью британских политиков с репутацией мировых лидеров (к которым, бесспорно, относится и У. Черчилля) – еще и познавательна и поучительна.

Influenced in part by the writings of Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, Henri Jomini, and other strategists, most major militaries have adopted principles of war that are widely promulgated. Marvin Pokrant argues that these commonly accepted principles fail to reflect the ideas that led to them. Looking at the fundamental and enduring concepts behind the original principles of war, Pokrant presents nine new principles of war. To illustrate his points Pokrant uses numerous examples drawn from military history, including land, sea, and air warfare from ancient times to the present. By analyzing and reforming the principles of war, Pokrant provides a modern, relevant, and useful way to guide decisions made in times of war.
