Chazarowie. Judeo-tureckie imperium stepowe..
ISBN: 9788381780520 / Polski / Miękka / 2019 / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Chazarowie byli jednym z ważniejszych ludów tureckich w dziejach Europy, które zdominowały rozległe południowo-wschodnie obszary Europy i zachodnie krańce stepów Azji Środkowej między IV a XI wiekiem. Wyjątkowość Chazarów polegała na tym, że ich elity arystokratyczne i wojskowe przeszły na judaizm, tworząc największe pod względem terytorialnym państwo rządzone przez żydów w dziejach. Byli ważnym sojusznikiem Cesarstwa Bizantyjskiego, blokując na kilka stuleci ekspansję islamu na północ od Kaukazu.
Dodatkowo osiągnęli też niebywały kunszt w metalurgii, a ich... Chazarowie byli jednym z ważniejszych ludów tureckich w dziejach Europy, które zdominowały rozległe południowo-wschodnie obszary Europy i zachod...

Attila and the Nomad Hordes
ISBN: 9780850459968 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Of all the conquerors who swept out of Central Asia, two names stand out in European memory Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan the Mongol. Both are remembered for massacres and devastation; yet whereas Genghis is also famous for the laws he imposed on half of Asia and for the trade which flourished under Mongol rule, Attila's notoriety seems unrelieved by positive achievements. But what was Attila's short-lived empire really like? What happened to the Huns afterwards, and what role did the nomads of Central Asia play in the centuries between Attila and Genghis Khan?"

Saladin
ISBN: 9781849083171 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This Osprey Command book looks closely at the early life, military experiences and key battlefield exploits of Al-Malik al-Nasir Yusuf Ibn Najm al-Din Ayyub Ibn Shahdi Abu'l-Muzaffar Salah al-Din - or Saladin as he is more commonly known outside the Islamic world - who is broadly regarded as the greatest hero of the Crusades, even in Europe. Most chroniclers present him as a man of outstanding virtue, courage and political skill. More recently, however, efforts have been made to portray Saladin as an ambitious, ruthless and even devious politician, and as a less brilliant commander...

The Italian Invasion of Abyssinia, 1935
ISBN: 9781855326927 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Second Italo Abyssinian War began in October 1935, when Mussolini ordered the invasion of Ethiopia from Italian-held Eritrea and Somaliland, thinking that he would easily crush an ill-prepared and badly equipped enemy. The Italians, in the face of widespread condemnation from the League of Nations, spread terror and destruction through their indiscriminate use of air power and poison gas against an enemy more used to Medieval methods of warfare. David Nicolle examines in detail the units, equipment and uniforms of the forces on both sides of this conflict that unrealistically bolstered Il...

The Crusades
ISBN: 9780850458541 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Born of a mixture of religious fervour, military ardour and political will, the Crusades ( 1095 - 1291) remain a fascinating and misunderstood aspect of medieval history. Born amid immense suffering and bloodshed the Kingdom of Jerusalem remained a battlefield for almost 200 years. The Crusades raised to campaign for it gave rise to the Military Orders of the Templars and Hopitallers as well as numerous smaller orders, and were a backdrop to the careers of some of history's most famous leaders including Richard 'The Lionheart' and Saladin. David Nicolle recounts the background and events of...

The Age of Tamerlane
ISBN: 9780850459494 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Tamerlane or Timur-i-Lenk ('Timur the Lame') is one of the most extraordinary conquerors in history. In the late 14th century his armies seized huge territories from the borders of Mongolia to Palestine and Anatolia. His passage was marked by massacres that outdid even those of the Mongols for sheer savagery. Timur's career was unequalled since Alexander the Great in terms of constant battlefield success. Only in his youth, while recovering his family estates south of Samarqand, did he face occasional defeat. This title tells the remarkable story of Timur and details the organisation,...

French Mediaeval Armies, 1000-1300
ISBN: 9781855321274 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. By the 11th century the French King had lost control of border regions, while local warfare had grown alarmingly frequent. In fact the energies of the French military elite were now focused on petty internal squabbles and external adventures like the Norman conquest of England. Nevertheless, the population and economy both expanded, although it was not until the 12th century that the crown rebuilt its power-base. Despite its slow start when compared with neighbours like England, the Kingdom of France had, by the 13th century, risen to become the most powerful state in Western Europe. This...

Saracen Faris, 1100-1250 AD
ISBN: 9781855324534 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the Middle East, not only were the 12th and 13th centuries punctuated by European Crusades but, even more significantly, the mid-11th century saw the invasion of the Saljuq Turks and the mid-13th century witnessed a devastating Mongol assault. Crucial to the Middle Eastern forces involved was the professional cavalryman, known as a faris or 'horseman'. A faris' training was far more wide-ranging than that of a contemporary European knight, including the use of horse-archery and the ability to fight on foot as well as general horsemanship and the use of the lance and sword. David Nicolle's...

ISBN: 9781846035067 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Oasprey's study of Ottoman infantrymen during World War I (1914-1918). The Ottoman Army was the first to employ the 'triangular division', starting from 1910, which contained three infantry regiments of three battalions supported by an artillery regiment of three battalions. This structure went on to become the world's standard. In the years immediately prior to the outbreak of World War I, the Ottoman Army undertook a massive retraining program to rebuild its forces following the Balkan Wars of 1912-13. When World War I began, the Ottoman Army consisted of 36 combat infantry... Oasprey's study of Ottoman infantrymen during World War I (1914-1918).

Lake Peipus, 1242
ISBN: 9781855325531 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osprey's Campaign title for The battle of Lake Peipus, which took place in 1242 between the Teutonic Knights and the Russian city-state of Novgorod, led by its inspirational leader Alexandre Nevskii. The Teutonic Knights were a powerful military order, backed with the crusading zeal of Europe, the blessing of the Pope and the support of the Holy Roman Emperor. This battle, although little-known in the west, was important in the history of the medieval eastern crusades, the Teutonic defeat having a serious effect on future events. David Nicolle's excellent text examines the Crusade against...

ISBN: 9788394668624 / Polski / Miękka / 2016 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Ogólnie przyjęło się, że reformy, które pchnęły Rosję we współczesność to dzieło geniuszu Piotra Wielkiego panującego na początku XVIII wieku. Tak naprawdę jednak reformy te nie byłyby możliwe bez zmian, jakie nastąpiły przez poprzednie dwa stulecia, zapoczątkowanych przez stworzenie pierwszej stałej rosyjskiej jednostki wojskowej – strzelców – przez Iwana Groźnego. W tej fascynującej książce prześledzono dzieje rosyjskiej armii od powołania strzelców, przez stworzenie pierwszych regularnych pułków w latach 30-tych XVII wieku, do rządów Piotra Wielkiego....

Armie Bułgarów Wołżańskich i Chanatu Kazańskiego..
ISBN: 9788365855497 / Polski / Miękka / 2017 / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Bułgarzy byli ludem pochodzenia tureckiego, który założył organizm państwowy na północ od Morza Kaspijskiego. Pod koniec VI i na początku VII wieku ich państwo uległo podziałowi pod naporem Kaganatu Chazarskiego, przy czym jedna grupa powędrowała na południe osiedlając się na terenach dzisiejszej Bułgarii, podczas gdy reszta w ruszyła w kierunku północnym, docierając w VII i VIII wieku w dorzecze Wołgi. W tym miejscu pozostawali pod zwierzchnictwem Chazarów do czasu ich podboju przez Ruś Kijowską w 965 roku. W latach 20. XIII wieku udało im się odeprzeć atak...

Hungary and the Fall of Eastern Europe, 1000-1568
ISBN: 9780850458336 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although not widely studied in the West, the medieval history of south-eastern Europe is both fascinating and complex. The Kingdom of Hungary was a vast realm, at least the size of France, that endured throughout the Middle Ages whilst the Byzantine Empire was even more extensive and enduring. The Serbians won themselves a brief but extensive local empire in the 14th century; while the Bulgarians established an effective and cultured state. Other players in the confusing Balkan scene included the Albanians; Wallachians; Moldavians; Transylvanians; Croatians and many others. How did they...

Saracen Strongholds AD 630-1000 : The Middle East
ISBN: 9781846031151 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Islamic world developed its own highly sophisticated, effective and varied style of fortification. It drew upon pre-existing Romano-Byzantine, Iranian, Central Asian and Indian traditions of military architecture, plus influences from China, to produce something new and distinctive. In turn, Islamic concepts of military architecture influenced fortifications throughout the Byzantine Empire and, to an even greater extent, in Western Europe. One key point of distinction with the latter in particular was that Islamic fortifications were primarily focussed upon defending cities and frontiers,...

Niniejsza praca opisuje i przedstawia uzbrojenie ochronne, zaczepne, fortyfikacje i okręty wykorzystywane w trakcie jednej z najmniej znanych faz średniowiecznego ruchu krucjatowego – ekspedycji podejmowanych przez skandynawskich katolików przeciwko pogańskim ludom zamieszkującym przeciwległy brzeg Morza Bałtyckiego, oraz następujących po nich starciach z prawosławnymi książętami Nowogrodu Wielkiego i Moskwy. Operując z odizolowanych zamków położonych w niedostępnym otoczeniu lasów, bagien i jezior, niewielkie garnizony musiały w równej mierze stawiać czoła...

Armies of the Ottoman Empire, 1775-1820
ISBN: 9781855326972 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. At the close of the 18th century the Ottoman Empire still had huge military potential. It was a complex structure of military provinces, autonomous regions and virtually independent 'regencies'. The Ottoman Empire had a larger population than its land could actually support which resulted in bloated cities, migration to under-populated mountainous areas, widespread banditry and piracy. It also meant that Ottoman armies had a ready pool of military manpower. With numerous illustrations, including eight full page colour artworkss by Angus Mcbride, this fascinating text by David Nicolle explores...
