Nearly fifty years following the Indonesian annexation of East Timor, this tiny, former Portuguese colony remains in the international spotlight. Forgotten Island takes us back to the genesis of the Australian-Indonesian relationship, seeking to answer the question as to why liberal Australia, led by an erudite social democrat in Gough Whitlam, looked away and even became culpably involved in Indonesia's 1975 invasion of Timor, contrary to the principles Australia and Whitlam espoused. Tracing the history of Australia's often troubled relationship with Indonesia, from Independence, through...

Atlantic Convoys and Nazi Raiders: The Deadly Voyage of HMS Jervis Bay
ISBN: 9780275988272 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In November of 1940, the German pocket battleship Admiral Scheer attacked British Convoy HX-84. The merchant cruiser HMS Jervis Bay, a converted passenger liner that was the convoy's only escort--armed only with antique 6-inch guns--charged the Nazi raider. While the Jervis Bay did not stand a chance of surviving the battle, her crew's fatalistic bravery inspired awe in all who witnessed the fight. Watson recounts how the Scheer's 11-inch guns turned the ship into a burning hulk in twenty-two minutes, but most of the convoy escaped. In November of 1940, the German pocket battleship...

The Great Indian Mutiny: Colin Campbell and the Campaign at Lucknow
ISBN: 9780275938345 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1857-1858, rebels in northern India recruited tens of thousands of civilian volunteers in a mutiny that threatened to engulf the entire subcontinent. This study explores a fundamental question never explicitly investigated in histories of the mutiny: How could a vastly outnumbered British army, with dangerously extended lines of supply and reinforcement, defeat so large a force on its home ground? Watson addresses the problem by focusing on the Lucknow campaign, which was pivotal to the success of the British, and abandons the usual narrative approach to the subject in favor of an...

Red Navy at Sea: Soviet Naval Operations on the High Seas, 1956-1980
ISBN: 9780367285272 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the only book to offer a detailed chronology of modern Soviet naval operations set within the framework of long-range Soviet foreign and domestic policy. This context is important because it puts the navy in its proper place as a significant cog in the gigantic machinery of Soviet "grand strategy." Commander Watson argues that the Soviet Navy's physical configuration, strategy, and operations reflect a long-term "upgrading" pattern, designed to create an equal-partner status in the total balance of Soviet military forces. Changes in the navy's activities are not merely pragmatic...
