Soldiers' Lives through History - The Early Modern World
ISBN: 9780313333125 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Two distinguished historians tell the story of the early modern soldier of Europe, a figure often misunderstood, in the period spanning from 1494 to 1789. He is the freebooting Landsknecht of the sixteenth century, swaggering in dilapidated finery through the ruins he and his kind created. He is the mercenary of the Thirty Years War in the seventeenth century, rootless and masterless, brutalizing civilians for a few coins, destroying civilization's works for the pleasure of it. He is the uniformed automaton of the eighteenth century, initiative beaten out of him, fit to do no more than...

Patton and Rommel: Men of War in the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780425206638 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. General George S. Patton. His tongue was as sharp as the cavalry saber he once wielded, and his fury as explosive as the shells he'd ordered launched from his tank divisions. Despite his profane, posturing manner, and the sheer enthusiasm for conflict that made both his peers and the public uncomfortable, Patton's very presence commanded respect. Had his superiors given him free rein, the U.S. Army could have claimed victory in Berlin as early as November of 1944.

Henry Lloyd and the Military Enlightenment of Eighteenth- Century Europe
ISBN: 9780313321603 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Intellectual historians generally view the Enlightenment as a pacifist or anti-war movement. Military historians typically consider 18th century military thinkers as backward-looking and inept. Speelman challenges the views of both groups through a consideration of the writings of Henry Lloyd, a soldier and Welsh "philosophe" who combined enlightened thought and military experience to distill a distinct theory of war. Based on previously unused or underutilized primary materials, this is the first biography of this key enlightenment thinker who advanced the general understanding of war as...
