Название: The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century Автор: J. M. Winter Издательство: Penguin Studio Год: 1996 Формат: PDF Страниц: 440 Размер: 52,0 МБ Язык: Английский
The World War of 1914-1918, the Great War, was the first of the man-made disasters of the twentieth century. In many ways it was without precedent. Never had the battlefield been so vast, whether in the trenches, in the sky, or on and in the seas. Never had a war reached so deeply into the lives of people so far away from the battlefield.

The War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714) was a major European conflict of the early 18th century, triggered by the death in 1700 of the last Habsburg King of Spain, the infirm and childless Charles II.

Federal armies under Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman had rampaged through Georgia on their “March to the Sea” and now were cutting a swath of destruction as they marched north from Savannah through the Carolinas.

Название: Inside Hitler's Headquarters 1939-45 Автор: Walter Warlimont Издательство: Presidio Press Год: 1991 Формат: PDF Страниц: 568 Размер: 5,7 МБ Язык: Английский
Interesting insider's view of the chaos that existed in Germany's military command structure in WWII. Multiple redundant agencies were set up to compete against each other, with the only 'winner' in this chaos being Hitler himself. A strong contrast to the Allied command structure, or even Stalin's. Some of the most interesting portions were the transcriptions of actual military conferences. Fascinating stuff.
