Art of War

Art of War

Military & Warfare

The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise attributed to Sun Tzu, the high-ranking military general, strategist and tactician. The text is composed of 13 chapters, each of Which is devoted to one aspect of warfare. Written in the 6th century B.C., remains the ultimate guide to combat strategy. Sun Tzu explains when and how to engage opponents in order to prevail in difficult situations. Instead of describing the logistics of warfare, he shows the reader how to succeed by motivating soldiers and leveraging tactical advantages. In short, he explains how to win the battle of wits. Though it was written for the battlefield, The Art of War contains valuable advice for other endeavors as well. Tzu's work has been lauded by sports coaches, business executives, and other leaders of the 21st century. This edition contains the translation of Lionel Giles, widely considered the most faithful and authoritative translation. Dalton Fury, New York Times bestselling author of Tier One Wild and Kill Bin Laden, says this: "Dean Garner's version of The Art of War confirms for us that for the past 2,000 years the fundamental principles of special operations in battle have not only remained true, but they apply equally to today's boardrooms and bedrooms. When on the hunt or holding ground, success can only be had by the precise application of disguise, deception and diversion, and a genuine appreciation for angles, inches, and seconds. Ranger Garner masterfully shows us how."

Betrayed

Betrayed

Military & Warfare

While the US government for decades claimed that no Allied POWs were held in German concentration camps, 168 Allied airmen were beaten, experimented on, and otherwise abused in Buchenwald,  Betrayed is the true story of two men on opposing sides in WWII, one a sergeant in the US Air Corps who was shot down, betrayed, and imprisoned in Buchenwald Concentration Camp.  The other was a Nazi engineer, an SS-major who obtained slave laborers from Buchenwald for his V-2 factory at the Mittelwerk.   The Nazi engineer was Dr. Wernher von Braun, a national hero of the Third Reich.  After the war, the records of both men were classified Top Secret and concealed by threats, denials, and misrepresentations.  The US government refuted the sergeant’s accurate account, while promoting a fabricated history for the engineer, who became as famous and revered in the US as he had been in Nazi Germany. Betrayed demonstrates how an unconstrained military intelligence operation disrupted the lives of American ex-POWs in the name of national security.

A View from the Hover

A View from the Hover

Military & Warfare

The thrilling, career-spanning autobiography of one of the world’s most respected test pilots, notably on the Harrier, and a leading authority on a very wide range of piloting and aviation issues, which is full of insider knowledge, real-life flying stories and hard-won technical advice, plus exclusive introductory videos and vintage footage galore. A View From The Hover takes you from John’s beginnings as an engineering apprentice at Farnborough in 1950 through his lengthy career as an RAF test pilot and time as an instructor at the RAF College Cranwell to the period spent with the RAE Aerodynamics Research Flight (on the Short SC1 and Hawker P1127 prototype) and the nineteen years he served as Harrier Chief Test Pilot. After retiring in 1983, John spent another five years as a freelance test pilot, during which he added twenty types to the sixty different aircraft he’d already flown, and also performed at many major airshows around the globe. Since then he’s encouraged youngsters to enter the world of aviation and this book also features his incredibly valuable thoughts about and explanations of a range of traditionally tricky subjects, from aerodynamics to the Private Pilot’s Licence syllabus. Whether you’re just fascinated by amazing fifty-year period in British aviation history, want to know exactly how to fly a Harrier, or are earning your PPL, this is a must-read!

Le ciel n'était pas vide, 1940

Le ciel n'était pas vide, 1940

Military & Warfare

Non, le ciel n’était pas vide lorsque, le 10 mai 1940, l’armée allemande pénétra en Belgique. Certes, les Stukas semblaient s’imposer aux civils comme aux combattants. On peut dire aujourd’hui non seulement que l’aviation n’a pas failli, mais qu’elle s’est retrouvée — au moment de l’Armistice — parfaitement en ordre, et que c’est encore un instrument de combat tout à fait valable qui fut livré aux Allemands. L’auteur de ce livre commandait — du 10 mai au 17 juin — l’aviation du groupe d’armées Billotte. Il fut à même de discerner le rôle de l’aviation française, et de voir dans quelles mesures nos ailes avaient été trahies. Cette relation constitue un récit humain souvent émouvant, capable d’intéresser tous ceux qui cherchent à savoir s’ils ont été trahis, et par qui. Ce livre est un document dans la mesure où il raconte, c’est un pamphlet dans la mesure où il accuse. Mais la critique prend sa force dans sa soumission aux faits, et il y a là des preuves.

Survival in Auschwitz

Survival in Auschwitz

Military & Warfare

In 1943, Primo Levi, a twenty-five-year-old chemist and “Italian citizen of Jewish race,” was arrested by the Italian Fascists and deported from his native Turin to Auschwitz. Levi was spared the gas chambers because his technical training was deemed useful for work in the I. G. Farben laboratories of Hitler’s Third Reich. Survival in Auschwitz is Levi’s classic account of his ten months in the German death camp, a harrowing story of systematic cruelty and miraculous survival. Remarkable for its simplicity, restraint, compassion and even wit, Survival in Auschwitz remains—forty years after its composition—a lasting testament to the indestructible human spirit.

Suezilta Afganistaniin

Suezilta Afganistaniin

Military & Warfare

Joulukuussa 1956 puolueettomuuspoliittisia ensi askeleitaan ottavasta pienestä maasta oli tulossa rauhanturvaamisen suurvalta. Kymmenen muun osallistujamaan ohella Suomen tuli varmistaa taistelujen päättyminen Suezilla sekä englantilaisten, ranskalaisten ja israelilaisten miehittäjien rauhanomainen poistuminen Egyptin maaperältä. Moskova ei hyvillä mielin katsellut läntisten YK-joukkojen lisääntyvää vaikutusvaltaa Lähi-idässä. Pelättiin jopa kolmannen maailmansodan puhkeamista.   Suezin kriisin jälkeen ovat kurinalaisuudestaan kiitetyt rauhanpuolustajamme ponnistelleet kovissa olosuhteissa kahtiajaetulla Kyproksella, Siinain hiekkaerämaassa, Golanin kukkuloilla, Libanonin ruutitynnyrissä ja viimeksi tienvarsipommein kylvetyssä Afganistanissa.   Mutta millaista on rauhanturvaajan arkipäivä? Kuinka kiperistä tilanteista selvitään paitsi hengissä myös henkisenä voittajana?   Journalistisista ansioistaan palkitun Rauli Virtasen teos pureutuu rauhanturvaamisen menneisyyteen ja nykypäivään. Asiantuntevissa artikkeleissa taustoitetaan rauhanturvaoperaatioiden poliittisia päätöksiä. Kuvaharvinaisuudet ja rauhanturvaajien henkilökohtaiset tarinat, autenttiset päiväkirjamerkinnät ja kaipauksen täyttämät kirjeet paljastavat toiminnan luonteen koko karuudessaan.Rauli Virtanen on freelancetoimittaja, tietokirjailija ja ohjaaja, joka tunnetaan erityisesti maailman kriisialueilla tekemistään reportaaseista. Hänen artikkelinsa ja dokumenttinsa ovat olleet esillä sekä suomalaisissa että kansainvälisissä tiedotusvälineissä. Virtanen on saanut uransa aikana mm. Tiedonjulkistamisen valtionpalkinnon, Suomen Kuvalehden journalistipalkinnon, Urho Kekkosen 70-vuotisjuhlasäätiön tunnustuspalkinnon, SPR:n "Inhimillinen kädenojennus" -tunnustuksen ja Puolustusvoimain sotilasansiomitalin.

Marine Corps Tactical Publication MCTP 3-20B Aviation Ground Support May 2021

Military & Warfare

This United States Marine Corps USMC manual, Marine Corps Tactical Publication MCTP 3-20B Aviation Ground Support May 2021, applies the philosophies in Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 4, Logistics, and MCDP 3, Expeditionary Operations, to Marine Corps Aviation Ground Support (AGS). It is the link between Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-20, Aviation Operations, and the tactics, techniques, and procedures contained in other Marine Corps aviation and logistic publications. In establishing the doctrinal basis for the planning and execution of AGS, this publication provides the basis for employment of AGS by the aviation combat element of the Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) during the prosecution of war and other operations that support the Marine Corps' mission. Marine Corps AGS is an integral part of the MAGTF because it extends its tactical reach and flexibility for the aviation combat element. This publication provides a common basis for understanding Marine Corps AGS and the manner in which the MAGTF can tactically exploit those capabilities. Therefore, this publication is intended for commanders and staff officers who are responsible for the planning and execution of aviation operations and for personnel involved in the execution of aviation operations. It is also intended for other doctrine centers, joint and multinational staffs, professional military educational activities, and other activities that require an understanding of Marine Corps AGS.
