Counterinsurgency in Africa: The Portugese Way of War 1961-74
ISBN: 9781907677731 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Portugal was the first colonial power to arrive in Africa and the last to leave. As other European states were granting independence to their African possessions, Portugal chose to stay and fight despite the small odds of success. That it did so successfully for thirteen years across the three fronts of Angola, Guine and Mozambique remains a remarkable achievement, particularly for a nation of such modest means. The Portugese approach to the conflict was distinct in that it sought to combine the two-pronged national strategy of containing the cost of the war and of spreading the burden to the...

The Flechas: Insurgent Hunting in Eastern Angola, 1965-1974
ISBN: 9781909384637 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In 1961, Portugal found itself fighting a war to retain its colonial possessions and preserve the remnants of its empire. It was almost completely unprepared to do so, and this was particularly evident in its ability to project power and to control the vast colonial spaces in Africa. Following the uprisings of March of 1961 in the north of Angola, Portugal poured troops into the colony as fast as its creaking logistic system would allow; however, these new arrivals were not competent and did not possess the skills needed to fight a counterinsurgency. While counterinsurgency by its nature...

Portuguese Commandos: Feared Insurgent Hunters, 1961-1974
ISBN: 9781911096320 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) During the 13-year insurgency (1961-74) in Portuguese Africa, more than 800,000 men and women served in the Portuguese armed forces. Of this number, about 9,000 served as commandos (or about 1 percent). Yet their combat losses ― 357 dead, 28 missing in action and 771 wounded ― represented 11.5 percent of the total casualties (a percentage 10 times that of normal troops). It is well established that these warriors were responsible for the elimination of more insurgents and capturing more of their weapons than any other force during the war. Great pains were taken to stay abreast of...

Brown Waters of Africa: Portuguese Riverine Warfare 1961-1974
ISBN: 9781909982574 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) During World War II, Portugal played its cards uncommonly well as a neutral and subsequently became a member of NATO. This membership resulted in a modernizing of its navy and its integration into the Atlantic Alliance. By 1960, when other colonial powers were abandoning their empires, Portugal made the decision to cling to its possessions, as they had been Portuguese for over 400 years. Without them Portugal saw itself as only a small European country, whereas with them, it would be a great nation. Portugal ultimately would fight a 13-year debilitating war against various nationalist...

Counterinsurgency in Africa: The Portuguese Way of War, 1961-1974
ISBN: 9780313301896 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The first comprehensive account in English of how the Portuguese Armed Forces prepared for and conducted a distant counterinsurgency campaign in its African possessions with very limited resources, choosing to stay and fight despite the small odds for success. The Portuguese military crafted its doctrine and implemented it to match the guerrilla strategy of protracted war, and in doing so, followed the lessons gleaned from the British and French experiences in small wars. The Portuguese approach to the conflict was distinct in that it sought to combine the two-pronged national strategy of...

Flight Plan Africa: Portuguese Airpower in Counterinsurgency, 1961-1974
ISBN: 9781909982062 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Following the 1952 reorganization of the Portuguese Air Force from the army and naval air arms, Portugal now had an entity dedicated solely to aviation that would bring it into line with its new NATO commitment. As it proceeded to develop a competence in modern multiengine and jet fighter aircraft for its NATO role and train a professional corps of pilots, it was suddenly confronted in 1961 with fighting insurgencies in all three of its African possessions. This development forced it to acquire an entirely new and separate air force, the African air force, to address this emerging danger....

Rockland
ISBN: 9781531608385 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Rockland's roots run deeply into American history. Originally a village of Abington, Rockland broke away in 1874 to form its own economically strong and enterprising shoe-manufacturing community. This book transports the reader back in time to meet six-year-old George Rockland Hunt, the "first citizen of Rockland"; Hulda Barker Loud, the irrepressible editor of the Rockland Independent; and Judge George Kelley leading his parade through the center of town. Rockland captures the lives of the merchants of Union Street, the heyday of the local shoe industry, and the stories of Rockland's past as...

1914-1918 Woolsery and Bucks Remember
ISBN: 9781909488472 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This book is a tribute to those young men from Woolsery and District in North Devon, who suddenly found themselves thrust, either by bravely volunteering or by being conscripted, into the horrors of the First World War. It was a far cry from their peaceful, but hard, rural life. Their stories are now recorded forever. They were heroes, one and all. Some would return to the bosoms of their families, but there were some who never made it back to their homeland and loved ones, and rest forever young in those foreign fields. In the famous words from the poem by Robert Laurence...

Squantum and South Weymouth Naval Air Stations
ISBN: 9781531621193 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The eyes of the United States Navy first focused on Quincy's Squantum peninsula in 1909, when daring young pilots from around the world gathered for the Harvard Air Meet. By the 1930s, the Victory Plant--a destroyer plant that set production records--had come and gone and the navy had set up the nation's first naval reserve aviation training center on the site. When air traffic over Boston Harbor thickened in the 1930s, the navy moved its aerial operations inland to the South Weymouth Naval Air Station. That base and its ubiquitous hangar became South Shore landmarks for more than a...

Isles of Shoals
ISBN: 9781531634513 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) It is hard to believe that just three little words, Isles of Shoals, can evoke as much romanticism as they do. Yet when those words are spoken, remembrances of years long past--of one of New England's earliest and most prosperous fishing communities; of Celia Thaxter and her life well spent surrounded by beautiful flowers, fine art, and
high-society friends; of "Uncle Oscar" Laighton and his ancient but unfailing smile; and of the Victorian grandeur of the expansive Oceanic and Appledore Hotels--bring one back to the glory days of the Isles of Shoals. It is hard to believe that just three little words, Isles of Shoals, can evoke as much romanticism as they do. Yet when those words are spoken, rememb...

The Coast Guard formed in 1915 and since that time has served the citizens of the Bay State at lifeboat stations, air stations, lighthouses, LORAN stations, and radio stations, as well as on lightships and cutters of all sizes.
