Sayeret Matkal depicts the greatest operations of Israel’s elite commando force from the perspective of the people who were there—the soldiers and their commanders, many of whom became Israel's top leaders and politicians: people such as Benjamin Netanyahu, Moshe Ya’alon, and Ehud Barak. In riveting prose and fascinating detail, the book tells the stories of operations such as Spring of Youth, in which PLO terrorists were killed in their homes in Beirut; the daring hostage rescue mission in Entebbe, Uganda, one of the unit's most glorious operations; the assassination of Abu Jihad in Tunis, Tunisia, and many more. First and foremost, this is a book about the remarkable people who made Israel’s legendary commando unit an icon of determination, ingenuity, and courage.

Following the career of Conon, the Athenian admiral who became commander of the Persian fleet after his city's defeat by Sparta, this volume offers a new perspective on a very important period of Greek history by examining the impact of the rivalry between Persian satraps in the affairs of the Hellenic cities, the development of new military practices and the linkage between war, politics and society.

It could be argued that if two armies are forced to meet in battle then several small disasters must already have occurred, namely the failure of reason or diplomacy to prevent the inevitable death and destruction that accompanies any clash of arms. However, a battle can always be turned into an ever-bloodier debacle by inadequate planning and incompetent leadership, and both certainly had a major impact on the course of the engagements that we are about to explore. From the slaughter of 50,000 Romans at Cannae to Napoleon’s ill-fated march on Moscow, the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign and the failure of Operation Market Garden, the list of tragedies that can be levelled at arrogance and poor intelligence is as long as it is gruesome. Prepare to pick your way through some of the most infamous battlefields in history.

To understand the turnaround in Spain’s stance towards Japan during World War II, this book goes beyond mutual contacts and explains through images, representations, and racism why Madrid aimed at declaring war on Japan but not against the III Reich -as London ironically replied when it learned of Spain’s warmongering against one of the Axis members. The changes at both countries’ Foreign Affairs Ministries on 1 September 1942 were part of a restructuring of power related to the war, but their significance was different because the crisis in Japan was a fresh demonstration of the decreasing influence of diplomacy, while in Spain, it was the opposite. Both countries were reading the results differently. After so many conquests, Tokyo believed that it was time to set up a new body of countries under its rule but Spain increased its diplomatic maneuvers. To enhance their role in the world, both countries tried opposite methods. On 21 June 1941, Hitler’s Germany invaded the Soviet Union, opening a new chapter in the world war. Containing the European war’s expansion was impossible, and it was now inexorably spreading throughout the globe, but most of all, it was a time when no one could make a reliable prediction on the conflict’s future outcome. In fact, the invasion took place just as the Third Reich and Japan redefined their aims.

Когда в 1911 г. разразилась итало-турецкая война за власть над колониями в Северной Африке, которым предстояло стать Ливией, основатель итальянского футуризма, неистовый урбанист и певец авиации и машин Филиппо Томмазо Маринетти превратился в военного корреспондента. Военные впечатления Маринетти воплотились в яростном сочинении «Битва у Триполи» (1911). Эта книга поэтической прозы в полной мере отразила как литературное дарование, так и милитаристский пафос итальянского футуриста.

Воспитание воли является частной, хотя и важной задачей воспитания. Задача же, о которой будет идти речь впереди,— воспитание волевых качеств офицера, уже находящегося в строю,— носит еще более частный характер. При решении этого вопроса необходимо исходить из общих целей воспитания людей в нашем социалистическом обществе.
