  • Жанр: Военная документалистика
  • Iraq, 2004. Sgt. Dan Mills and the rest of the 1st Battalion, The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment, were supposed to be winning hearts and minds.

The ambush marked the beginning of a full-scale firefight during which Mills killed a man with a round that removed his assailant’s head.The mission had already gone from bad to worse. Throat-burning winds, blast bombs, and militias armed with AKs, RPGs, and a limitless supply of mortar rounds were the icing on the cake for Mills and his men. For the next six months—isolated, besieged, and under constant fire—their battalion refused to give an inch. This is thebreathtaking true chronicle of their endurance, camaraderie, dark humor, and courage in the face of relentless, lethal assault.

  • Soldaten
  • Neitzel S?nke
  • Жанр: Военная документалистика
  • KurzbeschreibungDieses Buch legt auf der Basis von 150.000 Seiten Abh?rprotokollen erstmals eine ?berzeugende Mentalit?tsgeschichte des Krieges vor. In von Briten und Amerikanern eigens eingerichteten Lagern wurden deutsche Kriegsgefangene aller R?nge und Waffengattungen heimlich abgeh?rt. Sie sprachen ?ber milit?rische Geheimnisse, ?ber ihre Sicht auf die Gegner, auf die eigene F?hrung und auf die Judenvernichtung. Das Buch zeigt die Kriegswahrnehmung von Soldaten in historischer Echtzeit und vermittelt eine faszinierende und erschreckende Innenansicht des Zweiten Weltkriegs durch jene Soldaten, die gro?e Teile Europas verw?steten. Zudem wird im Vergleich zu anderen Kriegen herausgearbeitet, was am F?hlen und Handeln der deutschen Soldaten spezifisch f?r den Nationalsozialismus war und was nicht.

  • Stalingrad
  • Beevor Antony
  • Жанр: Военная история
  • In October 1942, a panzer officer wrote ‘Stalingrad is no longer a town… Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure’. The battle for Stalingrad became the focus of Hitler and Stalin’s determination to win the gruesome, vicious war on the eastern front. The citizens of Stalingrad endured unimaginable hardship; the battle, with fierce hand-to-hand fighting in each room of each building, was brutally destructive to both armies. But the eventual victory of the Red Army, and the failure of Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa, was the first defeat of Hitler's territorial ambitions ...

  • The Battle for Iwo Jima
  • Leckie Robert
  • Жанр: Военная документалистика
  • From the air, the Pacific island of Iwo Jima looks like a large, gray pork chop. Its strategic location, midway between the U.S. B-29 airfields on the Marianas Islands and the Japanese home islands meant that it had to be seized no matter what the cost. On February 19, 1945, the invasion of Iwo Jima was launched. It became the greatest battle fought by the U.S. Marine Corps in World War II. From it came the most famous image of the war, the raising of the flag on Mount Suribachi. When it ended a month later, the Marines had suffered 20,000 casualties—almost 5,000 men killed in action. And an astonishing twenty-six Marines were awarded America's highest decoration for valor, the Medal of Honor.

  • The End
  • Kershaw Ian
  • Жанр: Военная документалистика
  • Countless books have been written about why Nazi Germany lost World War II, yet remarkably little attention has been paid to the equally vital question of how and why it was able to hold out as long as it did. The Third Reich did not surrender until Germany had been left in ruins and almost completely occupied. Even in the near-apocalyptic final months, when the war was plainly lost, the Nazis refused to sue for peace. Historically, this is extremely rare.Drawing on original testimony from ordinary Germans and arch-Nazis alike, award-winning historian Ian Kershaw explores this ...

  • The Gun
  • Chivers C.
  • Жанр: Военная история
  • At a secret arms-design contest in Stalin’s Soviet Union, army technicians submitted a stubby rifle with a curved magazine. Dubbed the AK-47, it was selected as the Eastern Bloc’s standard arm. Scoffed at in the Pentagon as crude and unimpressive, it was in fact a breakthrough—a compact automatic that could be mastered by almost anyone, last decades in the field, and would rarely jam. Manufactured by tens of millions in planned economies, it became first an instrument of repression and then the most lethal weapon of the Cold War. Soon it was in the hands of ...

  • The Things They Cannot Say
  • Sites Kevin
  • Жанр: Военная документалистика
  • What is it like to kill? What is it like to be under fire? How do you know what’s right? What can you never forget?In , award-winning journalist and author Kevin Sites asks these difficult questions of eleven soldiers and marines, who—by sharing the truth about their wars—display a rare courage that transcends battlefield heroics.For each of these men, many of whom Sites first met while in Afghanistan and Iraq, the truth means something different. One struggles to recover from a head injury he believes has stolen his ability to love; another attempts to make amends for the killing of an innocent man; yet another finds respect for the enemy fighter who tried to kill him. Sites also shares the unsettling narrative of his own failures during war—including his complicity in a murder—and the redemptive powers of storytelling that saved him from a self-destructive downward spiral.
