Dzieki inicjatywie zespolu kierowanego przez prof. Andrzeja Bartnickiego polska historiografia i politologia maja szanse wzbogacenia sie o dzielo unikatowe. Nie jest mi zreszta znane tak szerokie, gruntowne, a przy tym i syntetyczne opracowanie tego tematu w skali swiatowej. Patrze na nie takze oczyma dydaktyka, z trudem przebijajacego sie przez starsza, przewaznie przypadkowa ped wzgledem doboru tematow, literature poswiecona dziejom Afryki i Azji. Na taka ksiazke czekalem. Jakze ona ulatwi realizacje stale stawianego postulatu porzucenia europocentrycznego spojrzenia na dzieje powszechne. Najnowsza historia powszechna w Polsce dzieki temu dzielu zyskuje w trojnasob: merytorycznie, dydaktycznie i prestizowo.

Words of wisdom from great samurai leaders: A collection of inspiring essays and aphorisms from Japan's leading warriors. Samurai warrior leaders had to deal with grim conditions of life, death and survival. But such men were not simply rough uneducated fighters: they often personified the Far Eastern ideal of balancing cultural awareness and artistic expertise with high martial abilities. Their sayings, precepts and the anecdotes about them are informed by a broad spectrum of interests, many of which are still of great value today. This book provides English translations of the essential thoughts and teachings of 55 great Samurai leaders--from Takeda Shingen and Oda Nobunaga to Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu--the men who unified Japan and established a system of government that survived for generations.

Released in 1969, the film Battle of Britain went on to become one of the most iconic war movies ever produced. The film drew many respected British actors to accept roles as key figures of the battle, including Sir Laurence Olivier as Hugh Dowding and Trevor Howard as Keith Park. It also starred Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer and Robert Shaw as squadron leaders. As well as its large all-star international cast, the film was notable for its spectacular flying sequences which were on a far grander scale than anything that had been seen on film before.

Over the past eight decades, developments in vertical lift aircraft—both helicopters and vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) planes—have given the American military unparalleled capabilities on the modern battlefield.

Kaman and Stanley Hiller, Jr., to name a few—and by having the industrial prowess to make their concepts reality.

The Military Revolution and Revolutions in Military Affairs updates two central debates in military history--the one surrounding the concept of military revolution, and the one on military affairs--whilst advancing original research in both fields. Only a handful of publications consider the military revolution and the RMA in tandem. This book breaks new ground conceptually and appeals to an exceptionally large and diverse readership.

A vivid narrative history, packed with first-hand accounts, of the US Eighth Air Force's VIII Fighter Command from its foundation in 1942 through to its victory in the skies over Nazi Germany. On August 7, 1942, two events of major military importance occurred on separate sides of the planet. In the South Pacific, the United States went on the offensive, landing the First Marine Division at Guadalcanal. In England, 12 B-17 bombers of the new Eighth Air Force's 97th Bombardment Group bombed the Rouen–Sotteville railroad marshalling yards in France. While the mission was small, the aerial struggle that began that day would ultimately cost the United States more men killed and wounded by the end of the war in Europe than the Marines would lose in the Pacific War.
