Military Philosophy

Regardless of how much has been written about it, new information continues to be discovered about the thousands of events that make up the six years that shaped the world we live in today.

Nuclear Russia probes the juncture of history of science and technology, political and cultural history, and environmental history. It considers the atom in Russian society as a reflection of Leninist technological utopianism, Cold War imperatives, scientific hubris, public acceptance, and a state desire to conquer nature. Furthermore the audiobook examines the vital – and perhaps unexpected – significance of ethnicity and gender in nuclear history by looking at how Kazakhs and Nenets lost their homelands and their health in Russia in the wake of nuclear testing.

La narrativa de la Guerra de Corea en Occidente, y particularmente en los Estados Unidos, cuenta la historia de un conflicto entre dos superpotencias mundiales e ideologías contrapuestas en un rincón lejano del mundo. La realidad es que las ruedas de movimiento que llevaron al país a la guerra en 1950 comenzaron a girar mucho antes de que las botas estadounidenses pisaran el suelo coreano. El corazón del conflicto fue una guerra civil entre una población dividida arbitrariamente por la colonización y la geopolítica global al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

La Segunda Guerra Mundial fue uno de los eventos más traumáticos en la historia de la humanidad. En todo el mundo, los conflictos existentes se fusionaron, enzarzando a las naciones en una vasta red de violencia.

Más de 55 millones de personas murieron, algunos de ellos combatientes, otros civiles atrapados en medio de la violencia o asesinados por sus propios gobiernos.

From the American Revolution to the end of World War II, the United States spent 19 years at war against other nations. But since1950, the total is 22 years and counting. On four occasions, U.S. presidents elected as "peace candidates" have gone on to lead the nation into ferocious armed conflicts. Repeatedly, wars deemed necessary when they began have been seen in retrospect as avoidable, and ill-advised. Americans profess to be a peace-loving people and one wary of "foreign entanglements". Yet we have been drawn into wars in distant lands from Vietnam to Afghanistan.

Drawing from a wide array of materials, Ian C. Hope refutes earlier charges of a lack of professionalization in the antebellum American army and an overreliance on the teachings of Swiss military theorist Antoine de Jomini. Instead, Hope shows that inculcation in West Point's American military curriculum eventually came to provide the army with an officer corps that shared a common doctrine and common skill in military problem solving.

Few diseases are more gruesome than typhus. Transmitted by body lice, it afflicts the dispossessed - refugees, soldiers, and ghettoized peoples - causing hallucinations, terrible headaches, boiling fever, and often death. The disease plagued the German army on the Eastern Front and left the Reich desperate for a vaccine. For this they turned to the brilliant and eccentric Polish zoologist Rudolf Weigl.

At 2:00 a.m. on October 2, 2001, Robert Stevens entered a hospital emergency room. Feverish, nauseated, and barely conscious, no one knew what was making him sick. Three days later he was dead. Stevens was the first fatal victim of bioterrorism in America. Bioterrorism expert Leonard Cole has written the definitive account of the Anthrax attacks. Cole is the only person outside law enforcement to have interviewed every one of the surviving inhalation-anthrax victims, along with the relatives, friends, and associates of those who died.

On rare occasions in American history, Congress enacts a measure so astute, so far-reaching, so revolutionary, it enters the language as a metaphor. The Marshall Plan comes to mind, as does the Civil Rights Act. But perhaps none resonates in the American imagination like the G.I. Bill.

Düşmanını ve kendini tanıyorsan zafer çok yakındır! MÖ 6. yüzyılda kaleme alınan ve Çinli komutan Sun Tzu'nun savaş prensiplerini içeren Savaş Sanatı, insanlık tarihi boyunca askeri strateji üzerine gerçekleştirilen en başarılı çalışmadır ve bugün dahi karşısında saygıyla eğilmeyi hak etmektedir. Sun Tzu fiziksel olarak eyleme geçmeden önce insanın zekâsıyla düşmanı alt edebileceğini ve bu sayede galip gelme şansının büyük oranda artacağını iddia eder. Tzu'nun bu felsefesi sadece askerlik alanında değil, yaşamın her alanında uygulanabilecek bir felsefedir.

World War II was by far one of the most significant wars of all time. Ripples of the splash this war made on history are still being felt today. Even more so than its predecessor, this was the most comprehensive global war. The focal point is the European battle front but there was just as much, if not more in Asia and even in Africa and the Americas.

Since the 1930s, the scale of scientific endeavors has grown exponentially. The birth of Big Science can be traced to Berkeley, California, nearly nine decades ago, when a resourceful young scientist pondered his new invention and declared, "I'm going to be famous!" Ernest Orlando Lawrence's cyclotron would revolutionize nuclear physics, but that was only the beginning of its impact.This is the incredible story of how one invention changed the world and of the man principally responsible for it all. Michael Hiltzik tells the riveting full story here for the first time.

When Chelsea Manning was arrested in May 2010 for leaking massive amounts of classified Army and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks, she was almost immediately profiled by the mainstream press as a troubled person. Insurgent Truth argues for seeing Manning's example differently: as an act of what the book terms "outsider truth-telling." Bringing Manning's truth-telling into conversation with democratic, feminist, and queer theory, the book argues that outsider truth-tellers such as Manning tell or enact unsettling truths from a position of social illegibility.

El libro "Del arte de la guerra", de Maquiavelo en torno a 1520, desarrolla, siguiendo el típico esquema formal del tratado renacentista dialogado, las reflexiones del gran autor florentino sobre la milicia y la guerra. A lo largode los siete capítulos, se van afrontando de forma homogénea aspectoscomo el del reclutamiento, la relación infantería-caballería, la instrucción y adiestramiento de los soldados, el orden de combate, la moral del combatiente, el reconocimiento y la observación del campo enemigo, el acuartelamiento y el régimen disciplinario....

The philosophy found in this work is the product of a childhood on a tobacco and cattle farm in central Kentucky, education at various schools, and a three-decade career in the US Navy while simultaneously contributing as a husband, father, and grandfather. The remainder of this book will be separated into phases reflective of the major changes in my life: the farm, schooling, and a navy career continuum from junior officer through flag officer. The lessons learned in earlier phases were often exported and applied later.

For the Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, war was synchronic with life. Tzu viewed the world as a network of combat zones where the stakes were high, struggle was the primary mode of being, no one was to be trusted, and survival depended on nothing less than unconditional victory. This 2,500-year-old work of wisdom continues to guide and inspire people of all cultures, teaching the principles of strategy required in everything from sports and business to affairs of the heart. Augmented by commentary and anecdotes, this audio edition maintains the pure, near-poetic tone of the original work.

El Hagakure (que significa "a la sombra de las hojas" u "oculto en las hojas") es una obra literaria japonesa dictada por Yamamoto Tsunetomo (1659-1719) a uno de sus aprendices entre 1710 y 1717, inspirada en el célebre código Bushido.
