Описание: The fearless, elite warriors of medieval Japan were loyal comrades but deadly foes. Whether foot soldier, samurai or trained assassin, these men were driven by strict codes of honor and bound by deep allegiances of rank, family or religion.
This book examines the military lives of four formidable warrior types, covering the samurai and the ninja as well as the experiences of warrior monks and ashigaru foot soldiers, less familiar to western readers. The recruitment, training and equipment of each warrior type are described, and their beliefs, motivation and experience of warfare are explored. Rare material from Japanese sources makes this a highly authoritative treatment of the military elites of medieval Japan, brought to life by lavish illustrations and photography.

Название: Cumans and Tatars: Oriental Military in the Pre-Ottoman Balkans, 1185-1365 / Куманы и татары: Восточное воинство на Балканах до турецкого нашествия. 1185-1365 Издательство: Cambridge University Press Год:2005 Формат: PDF Язык: Английский Качество: OCR без ошибок Количество страниц: 230 Размер: 2,85 МБ Описание: В этой книге István Vásáry представляет историю кочевых воинов евразийских степей - куман и татар от 1186 г. до 1360-ых. Основным инструментом политического успеха куман и татар была военная сила, которой ни одна из враждующих Балканских группировок не могла сопротивляться. Впоследствие, группы куман и татар ассимилировались местным населением в различных регионах Балкан. Куманы были основателями трех последовательных Болгарских династий (Asenids, Terterids, и Shishmanids), и Валахской династии (Basarabids). Они также играли активную роль в Византии, Венгрии и Сербии входя в элиту каждой страны. В исследовании также уделено внимание проблеме политической анархии на Балканах в тринадцатом и четырнадцатом столетиях, что сделало их легкой добычей турок-осман в конце XIV в.

Recent operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have given the US military an appreciation of both the importance and the challenges of working with and through host nation security forces in the aftermath of major combat operations. Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates has indicated that these types of efforts will be an ongoing military requirement for the foreseeable future. The US military effort in support of Colombian security forces offers a different and a lesser known experience from which to learn: one that has been long-term, low-key, and seemingly successful.

Описание: The events of the past few years have clearly demonstrated that a strong and well organized air service is a vital accessory of the modern military machine. Withoutan efficient air service, an army is blind and impotent against an adversary so equipped. The strength of an effective air service is measured in thousands of properly manned aircraft, organized into properly balanced military aircraft units. This presumes an aircraft industry organized to meet every demand, and an extensive system of aircraft arsenals, depots, training bases and flying stations. A higlily trained, specialized personnel must be provided for the air service. Mechanical or technical training, knowledge and experience are essential. The value of supplementing such training by suitable theoretical instruction cannot be gainsaid. This manual is intended for use as a textbook, and as a reference work, for such theoretical instruction. The subject matter of the manual is based on rules, regulations and practice existing in the Aviation Section of the United States Army and upon common practice followed in foreign aviatic organizations.

Описание: The U.S. Army in Vietnam series documents the Army role in the Vietnam War. Most of its volumes deal with the Army particular military interests: the conduct of combat opera tions, logistics, engineering, communications and electronics, and advice and support for America allies. Two, however depart from that pattern to address a subject unique to recent war, the evolving relationship between the military and the news media. The first of those volumes, Public Affairs: The Military and the Media, 1962-1968, appeared in 1988. An account of military-media relations during the early years of the war it covered the formulation of military policies for dealing with the press in Vietnam and how those policies influenced the conduct of the war prior to the Tet offensive of 1968. Picking up where that volume ended- just after Tet, as the search for a negotiated settlement to the conflict began- this account carries the story forward through the administration of President Richard M. Nixon to the final withdrawal of American forces from South Vietnam in 1973. It is a tale well worth telling, not only because it draws upon hitherto unavailable sources but because it documents events and precedents that will continue to affect military relations with the news media during future operations. Indeed, many of the book episodes and themes will have a familiar ring to those who have followed military relations with the media during operations in Grenada and Panama, the war in the Persian Gulf, and a host of subsequent peace operations.

Bergen Издательство: Center of Military History United States Army Год: 1986 Страниц: 540 Формат: PDF Размер: 71.6МБ Язык: английский United States Army in Vietnam. In this volume the author develops the thesis that burgeoning technology in communications faced a severe test in Vietnam. He analyzes the advantages and drawbacks of new communications systems and the effects these systems had on decision making and on command . In so doing, he describes the difficulties that communications systems had in keeping pace with the information explosion and shows that command and control do not necessarily improve with enhanced communications. The study illustrates that the communicator's mission of "getting the message through" was not only critical to the success of combat operations but also as challenging as combat itself. The author's clear understanding and description of these issues make this a valuable work for those responsible for the future success of command, control, communications, and intelligence. At the same time it serves as a primer for readers not fully aware of the vital part communications play in every phase of warfare. Подробно об этом на mirknig.com » |
