The Six-Day War was an extraordinary human drama. It swept up a generation of Israelis and Arabs whose children still cannot live peacefully in the world the war created. Today, Israel is the superpower of the region. It has nuclear weapons but has never been able to digest the land it swallowed in 1967. However big its army, it will never be at peace or feel secure until the future of this land is settled.

In early 1942, while the American military was still in disarray from the devastating attacks on Pearl Harbor and the Philippines, a single U.S. Army squadron advanced to the far side of the world to face America's new enemy. Based in Australia with inadequate supplies and no ground support, the squadron's pilots and combat crew endured tropical diseases while confronting numerically superior Japanese forces.

Английский легкий бомбардировщик Hawker Hind С началом расширения ВВС Великобритании в 1934 году Министерство авиации разработало техническое задание на легкий бомбардировщик, который мог бы служить заменой бомбардировщику Hawker Hart до начала эксплуатации самолетов нового поколения, таких как Bristol Blenheim и Fairey Battle. Компания Хоукер предложила модель, сконструированную на основе самолета Харт, отличающуюся установкой более мощного двигателя Kestrel V, хвостового колеса вместо костыля и некоторыми изменениями, включавшими в себя модификацию задней кабины (для улучшения условий, увеличения области обстрела и обеспечения позиции лежа при бомбометании). Опытный самолет был назван Hawker Hind и совершил свой первый полет 12 сентября 1934 года. Затем всего лишь через год, 4 сентября 1935-го., в воздух поднялся серийный самолет Hind. К весне 1937 года бомбардировочная авиация Великобритании получила 338 самолетов Hind, а еще 114 состояли на службе в семи вспомогательных эскадрильях ВВС. Самолеты также поставлялись ВВС Индии, Новой Зеландии, Южной Африки, Афганистана, Латвии, Персии (Ирана), Португалии, Швейцарии и Югославии. В доминионах Британии «Хинд» не получил широкого распространения. В 1937-м несколько бипланов отправили в Новую Зеландию для испытаний, но крупного заказа не последовало. Австралийцы заказали «Хаукер» доработку «Хинда» по своим требованиям ...

A Few Bad Men is the incredible true story of an elite team of U.S. Marines set up to take the fall for Afghanistan war crimes they did not commit—and their leader who fought for the redemption of his men. Ambushed in Afghanistan and betrayed by their own leaders—these elite Marines fought for their lives again, back home. A cross between A Few Good Men and American Sniper, this is the true story of an elite Marine special operations unit bombed by an IED and shot at during an Afghanistan ambush. The Marine Commandos were falsely accused of gunning down innocent Afghan civilians following the ambush. The unit’s leader, Maj. Fred Galvin, was summarily relieved of duty and his unit was booted from the combat zone. They were condemned by everyone, from the Afghan president to American generals. When Fox Company returned to America, Galvin and his captain were the targets of the first Court of Inquiry in the Marines in fifty years. One reason I wrote this book was so that every American citizen would know how U.S. - led coalition forces had won a decisive victory against terrorists in Afghanistan by 2005 and yet lost the war, ignominiously bugging out in August 2021.

An interdisciplinary book for students that delves into one of the most horrific periods in global history. An excellent roadmap for today’s political climate. The basic human losses of World War I can be made plain with these staggering casualties: 9 million dead soldiers, 7 million civilian lives lost, millions more wounded. But those numbers only hint at the devastation, both political and personal, that lies at the heart of the Great War. World War I: The Great War to End All Wars brings to light the key details of this critical point in history. It marks the transition to a modern era in which mass destruction became a reality through military technologies a century in the making. By examining military life on the battlefields and in the trenches, as well as focusing on anti-war protest movements, art and popular culture, home-front efforts across the globe, and experiences in British and French colonies, this book offers a sense of how World War I penetrated all corners of the world and impacted all of its peoples. Graphic novel-style illustrations, amazing historical photography, and primary sources bring the past to life and illustrate how far World War I reached around the globe.

It has been famously pointed out that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, but it was also not an empire in the sense people expect when hearing the term. In theory, the emperor was the highest prince in Christendom, and his dominion extended the length and breadth of Western Europe. The empire had been created by the papacy in 801 when Pope Leo III famously crowned the supposedly unwitting Charlemagne in Saint Peter’s Basilica, intending to recreate the Western Roman Empire. In truth, the imperial power did not extend beyond central Europe, which by the beginning of the 16th century included Germany, northern Italy, and the Netherlands. Even in these lands, however, the emperor struggled to command obedience. His dominion over northern Italy was theoretical only, the cities of the Netherlands were deeply conscious of their ancient rights and privileges, and Germany had long ceased to be compliant.
