It's usually called the Yom Kippur War. Or sometimes the October War. The players that surround it are familiar: Sadat and Mubarak, Meir and Sharon, Nixon and Kissinger, Brezhnev and Dobyrnin. It was a war that brought Arab and Jew into vicious conflict. A war in which Israel almost unleashed her nuclear arsenal and set two superpowers on a treacherous course of nuclear escalation. And a war that eventually brought peace. But a peace fraught with delicate tensions, disputed borders, and a legacy of further bloodshed.

The authors of this book are Marine Corps combat correspondents and two Marine Public Relations Officers who were at Iwo Jima. Combat correspondents are trained like other Marines. They live and fight with the outfits to which they are attached and write articles for newspapers and magazines about the men in their units. In battle they can see only what happens in their own units' limited sectors. In compiling this book, therefore, they drew upon their own experiences on Iwo plus stories written by other combat correspondents and Public Relations Officers who were there.

Sir Winston Churchill retells the story of the conflict from the attack at Fort Sumter to the surrender at Appomattox. Churchill's understanding of the Civil War rivals that of our American scholars. From the first shot fired on Ft. Sumter to Lee's surrender at Appomattox, Churchill paints a picture of the time in his own elegant style and with his own unique perspective.

Сборник посвящен проблематике «атаманщины» и «партизанщины» в Гражданской войне в России 1918 - 1922 гг. Обозначенные явления окрашивали собой вооруженное противостояние внутри огромной страны. Нехарактерные для внешних войн способы рекрутирования, мотивации воюющих, способы военных действий выдвигали новые организационные формы и новых лидеров. В ходе междоусобной войны самодеятельные формирования отчасти становились материалом для регулярного военного строительства на красной или белой стороне, в национальных армиях, отчасти яростно этому сопротивлялись.

Wings of Gold tells the story of naval aviation from its modest beginnings up through the sleek aircraft and nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of today. The author sees men and not machines as the real source of strength and power in our naval air arm, and he makes this a story first of the airmen and then of their planes and equipment.

From the first successful balloon ascension in 1783 to the latest explorations in space, this compact history recalls the challenging years that brought mastery of the air to men and supremacy in war and peace to our nation. Never has the stirring saga of the history of flight been told in more compelling terms. Conceived after a century and a half of experiment, born a stepchild of the Army, the Air Force came into its own when it proved that national strength — and national survival—were dependent on aerospace power.

The Army of the Potomac's defeat by General Lee. A classic reference. General Stackpole's The Fredericksburg Campaign is a solid work that serves as a good departure point for further study of the campaign. Since there is no other campaign history of Fredericksburg written in the 20th century (there is in fact only one other, written in 1882) which makes Stackpole's book invaluable in and of itself. The major historians, Catton, Foote, and McPherson do not devote more than a few chapters to the subject. While Catton devotes portion of a book, but it is unsatisfactory as a campaign history. Gary Gallagher has recently edited a book of essays of various elements of the battle but again, it is not a campaign history.
