Full extent of U.S. tactical ineptitude and the amazing opportunity it provides. With the small-unit stratagems in this book, U.S. commanders can now perform the state of the art for any 3GW maneuver. It derives from the combined research of the world's other major armies. Advanced squad tactics are involved, so America's junior enlisted and NCOs will also be interested. More U.S. wars can now be won and lives saved.

The Pentagon, in theory, works for the American people. All wars are personal because of the suffering they inflict. Renewed fighting with North Korea would be catastrophic in its intensity—and not just for the other side. But most U.S. citizens (and military personnel) are not quite certain why. It has nothing to do with nuclear weapons.

Naval action in World War I conjures up images of enormous dreadnoughts slugging it out in vast oceans. Yet the truth is that more sailors were killed serving on gunboats and monitors operating far from the naval epicentre of the war than were ever killed at Jutland. Gunboat engagements during this war were bloody and hard fought, if small in scale. Austrian gunboats on the Danube fired the first shots of the war, whilst German, British and Belgian gunboats fought one of the strangest, most intriguing naval campaigns in history in far-flung Lake Tanganyika.

The M4 Sherman tank was the mainstay of the Western allies between 1942 and 1945. Fast and modern it was a big success and was transported as far afield as Russia and North Africa. The American Chief of Staff claimed in November 1943 it was 'hailed widely as the best tank on the battlefield today…’. However, by the Normandy invasion of June 1944 this was not the case: the new German heavy tanks such as the Panther and Tiger were completely outclassing the Sherman.

Hong Kong has been caught between empires ever since the First Opium War (1839-1842). As a result, the study of Hong Kong history has been subjected to the influence of the empires that controlled or laid claims over it. The historical experience of the Hongkongers during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is unique, with Hong Kong as a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society, an international trading hub, and a geopolitically crucial British colony until 1997.

Germany's merchant Marine fleet--the second largest in the world prior to 1914--played an unintended but decisive role in that nation's defeat in World War I. There were those ships that went to war for the Kaiser on the high seas, those that stayed at home or otherwise played no significant part in the conflict, and those which were commandeered (mostly in 1917 and by the United States) and used against Germany.
