Wreck Recovery in Britain Then and Now
ISBN: 9781870067942 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. WRECK RECOVERY IN BRITAIN THEN AND NOW By Peter J. Moran The last 50 years have seen an incredible interest in the excavation of crashed aircraft. Schoolboys of the war period eagerly sought and swapped souvenirs, purloined from crashes under the eyes of the police or RAF guards but, after the surface wreckage was cleared away by Maintenance Units, no one realised that even greater treasures remained underground. Whereas on the Continent the Missing Research and Enquiry Unit left no stone unturned to try to trace the thousands of airmen who still remained missing, strangely enough no...

The Anatomy of Courage: The Classic WWI Account of the Psychological Effects of War
ISBN: 9780786718993 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Fear, and man's attempt to master it, is of eternal interest and just as significant today as when Moran, as a young medical officer, went to the trenches in 1914 to research the subject scientifically. He asked why a man can appear to be as brave as a lion one day and break the next and, crucially, "what can be done to delay or prevent the using up of courage?"
First published in 1945, this early groundbreaking account of the psychological effects of war, recounted by means of vivid first-hand observation and anecdote, came at a time when shell-shock was equated with lack of moral fiber....

Carl Von Clausewitz: Historical and Political Writings
ISBN: 9780691631592 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Carl von Clausewitz's major theoretical work, On War, has retained its freshness and relevance since it first appeared 160 years ago. Clausewitz was also a wide-ranging, innovative historian--his acerbic history of Prussia before 1806 became an underground classic long before it could be published--and a combative political essayist, whose observations on the affairs of Germany and Europe combine social egalitarianism with a nearly Bismarckian Realpolitik. In this companion volume to On War, the editors bring together Clausewitz's political writings and a selection of his...
