Often described as the misuse of science, chemical and biological weapons have incurred widespread opposition over the years. Despite condemnation from the United Nations, governments and the disarmament lobby, they remain very real options for rogue states and terrorists. This much-needed history is now available in paperback, and has been expanded and updated with two new chapters on political poisoning and chemical weapons in the Middle East. In Agents of War Edward M. Spiers breaks new ground by presenting his analysis in both historical and contemporary contexts, giving a comprehensive chronological account of why, where and when such weapons were used or suspected to be deployed.

Clive Evans had a lengthy front-line flying career in which he flew Hunters, Canberras and Lightnings. Apart from his personnel experiences he describes all these types in considerable detail, explaining technical details and the nuances of each type. The final fast jet he flew was during a three year posting to the USA to evaluate the General Dynamics F-111 that the British Government were considering purchasing. It was at the end of that overseas tour that he was severely wounded in a car crash whilst driving to the airport to return to the UK.

Что, если бы Гитлеру не удалось застать Сталина врасплох, будь Красная Армия своевременно приведена в полную боевую готовность, – имелись ли шансы у советских войск выиграть Приграничное сражение и избежать катастрофы 1941 года? Что, если бы Советский Союз нанес удар первым – могла ли Красная Армия в считанные недели разгромить Вермахт, как утверждает скандально известный Виктор Суворов, или потерпели бы еще более страшное поражение, чем в текущей реальности? Что, если бы в СССР удалось создать собственный вариант «блицкрига», доведя до ума теорию «стратегических танков» и превратив монструозные, почти неуправляемые мехкорпуса 1941 года в хорошо сбалансированные, мобильные и эффективные элитные соединения, способные изменить ход Великой Отечественной?

A groundbreaking historical study, Norman Stone's The Eastern Front 1914-1917 was the very first authoritative account of the Russian Front in World War I to be published in the West. In this now-classic history he dispels the myths surrounding a still relatively little-known aspect of the war, showing how inefficiency rather than economic shortage led to Russia's desperate privations and eventual retreat.

Although Spain had been for many years on the periphery of the great affairs of Europe, within a few months of the Civil War breaking out in 1936, three out of the four major European powers—Italy, Germany, and the Soviet Union—decided to intervene. Spain turned out to be the perfect proving ground to carry out controlled, realistic experiments with live weapons and troops. This book covers the theories of the three main contributors that provided armor to the warring parties in the civil war, how those contributions shaped combat, and how the lessons learned were then applied to tank combat in World War II.
