Efforts upon the waves played a critical role in European and Anglo-American conflicts throughout the eighteenth century. Yet the oft-told narrative of the American Revolution tends to focus on battles on American soil or the debates and decisions of the Continental Congress. The Untold War at Sea is the first book to place American privateers and their experiences during the War for Independence front and center. Kylie A. Hulbert tells the story of privateers at home and abroad while chronicling their experiences, engagements, cruises, and court cases. This study forces a reconsideration of the role privateers played in the conflict and challenges their place in the accepted popular narrative of the Revolution. Despite their controversial tactics, Hulbert illustrates that privateers merit a place alongside minutemen, Continental soldiers, and the sailors of the fledgling American navy.

К 75-летию окончания Нюрнбергского процесса.
На территории Советского Союза вермахт вел расовую и мировоззренческую ВОЙНУ НА УНИЧТОЖЕНИЕ, а завоеванное «Восточное пространство» должно было стать для евреев Европы «полями убийства». Истребление нацистскими преступниками шести миллионов евреев (почти половина из них – советские евреи) было бы невозможно без активного содействия вооруженных сил Третьего рейха. Германская армия представляла собой одну из четырех независимых и взаимодействующих структур нацистской машины уничтожения, наряду с гитлеровской партией, чиновничьим аппаратом и промышленностью.
