Cold War Submarines: The Design and Construction of U.S. and Soviet Submarines
ISBN: 9781574885309 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Submarines had a vital, if often unheralded, role in the superpower navies during the Cold War. Their crews carried out intelligence-collection operations, sought out and stood ready to destroy opposing submarines, and, from the early 1960s, threatened missile attacks on their adversary's homeland, providing in many respects the most survivable nuclear deterrent of the Cold War. For both East and West, the modern submarine originated in German U-boat designs obtained at the end of World War II. Although enjoying a similar technology base, by the 1990s the superpowers had created submarine...

Aircraft Carriers, Volume 2: A History of Carrier Aviation and Its Influence on World Events, 1946-2006
ISBN: 9781574886658 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the post-1945 era, the aircraft carrier has remained a valued weapon despite the development of nuclear weapons, cruise and ballistic missiles, and highly capable submarines.

In other operations, such as enforcing the no-fly zones and the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, only carriers could provide the bases needed for sustained combat and support operations.
This second volume of Norman Polmar's landmark... In the post-1945 era, the aircraft carrier has remained a valued weapon despite the development of nuclear weapons, cruise and ballistic missiles, and...

The United States and the Soviet Union/Russia have been the leaders in those efforts, especially during the forty-five years of the Cold War. But, as Norman Polmar and Lee J. Mathers reveal, so has China, which has become a major...
