Название: Hitler, Donitz, and the Baltic Sea: The Third Reich's Last Hope, 1944-1945 Автор: Howard D. Grier Издательство: Naval Institute Press Год: 2007 Формат: EPUB Страниц: 314 Размер: 1,8 МБ Язык: Английский
The popular conception of Hitler in the final years of World War II is that of a deranged Fuhrer stubbornly demanding the defense of every foot of ground on all fronts and ordering hopeless attacks with nonexistent divisions. To imply that Hitler had a rational plan to win the war flies in the face of widely accepted interpretations, but historian Howard D. Grier persuasively argues here that Hitler did possess a strategy to regain the initiative in 1944-45 and that the Baltic theater played the key role in his plan.
Название: Nautilus: The Story of Man Under the Sea Автор: Roy Davies Издательство: Naval Institute Press Год: 1995 Формат: PDF Страниц: 256 Размер: 26,9 МБ Язык: Английский
"Nautilus' tells the story of the submarine, a vessel which revolutionized naval warfare in the course of 50 years, and the men who designed them and worked on them. In their short history submarines and submersible craft have played a decisive role in two world wars and today they roam the oceans, bearers of nuclear arsenals, ready to surface anywhere and strike any target. The book starts with the dramatic story of how Russian scientists and naval officers set about the task of constructing a nuclear submarine from scratch and with little knowledge of advances in nuclear physics in the rest of the world.
Название: Mighty Mo, the U.S.S. Missouri. A Biography of the Last Battleship Автор: Gordon Newell, Allan E. Smith Издательство: Superior Publishing Co. Год: 1969 Формат: PDF Страниц: 200 Размер: 26,1 МБ Язык: Английский
The Mighty Mo is part pictorial part history of the USS Missouri. There are interesting parts such as the grounding in 1949 and her role in the mine sweeping of Wonsan Harbor during the Korean War but the rest is an impassioned plea by the authors to make the Missouri a monument. Later the Missouri was recommissioned into the Navy and served in the First Gulf War and then made into a monument. This book is easy to read but obviously a cheerleading piece of why the Missouri should be a monument.

By the end of the First World War the combat formations of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) in both France and the Middle East were considered among the British Empire's most effective troops. While sometimes a source of pride and not a little boasting, how the force came to be so was not due to any inherent national prowess or trait.

The colossal scale of World War II required a mobilization effort greater than anything attempted in all of the world's history. The United States had to fight a war across two oceans and three continents–and to do so, it had to build and equip a military that was all but nonexistent before the war began.
