ISBN: 9788378892298 / Polski / Twarda / 2014 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. W 1943 roku niemiecka armia, spadkobierca tradycji opierającej się na bezwzględnych, doprowadzonych do perfekcji operacjach ofensywnych, uległa własnemu wyczerpaniu oraz wymogom XX-wiecznej, uprzemysłowionej wojny.

The German Way of War: From the Thirty Years' War to the Third Reich
ISBN: 9780700616244 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) For Frederick the Great, the prescription for warfare was simple: kurz und vives ("short and lively")--wars that relied upon swift, powerful, and decisive military operations. Robert Citino takes us on a dramatic march through Prussian and German military history to show how that primal theme played out time and time again. Citino focuses on operational warfare to demonstrate continuity in German military campaigns from the time of Elector Frederick Wilhelm and his great "sleigh-drive" against the Swedes to the age of Adolf Hitler and the blitzkrieg to the gates of Moscow. Along the way,...

Death of the Wehrmacht: The German Campaigns of 1942
ISBN: 9780700617913 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) For Hitler and the German military, 1942 was a key turning point of World War II, as an overstretched but still lethal Wehrmacht replaced brilliant victories and huge territorial gains with stalemates and strategic retreats. In this major reevaluation of that crucial year, Robert Citino shows that the German army's emerging woes were rooted as much in its addiction to the "war of movement"--attempts to smash the enemy in "short and lively" campaigns--as they were in Hitler's deeply flawed management of the war. From the overwhelming operational victories at Kerch and Kharkov in May to the...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Essential background to the German blitzkrieg of World War II Complements the stories of panzer aces like Otto Carius and Michael Wittmann In the wake of World War I, the German army lay in ruins--defeated in the war, sundered by domestic upheaval, and punished by the Treaty of Versailles. A mere twenty years later, Germany possessed one of the finest military machines in the world, capable of launching a stunning blitzkrieg attack against Poland in 1939. Well-known military historian Robert M. Citino shows how Germany accomplished this astonishing reversal and developed the doctrine,...

Envisioning the Arab Future: Modernization in Us-Arab Relations, 1945-1967
ISBN: 9781107036628 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Decades before 9/11 and the 'Arab Spring', US and Arab elites contended over the future of the Middle East. Through unprecedented research in Arabic and English, Envisioning the Arab Future details how Americans and Arabs - nationalists, Islamists, and communists - disputed the meaning of modernization within a shared set of Cold War-era concepts. Faith in linear progress, the idea that society functioned as a 'system', and a fascination with speed united officials and intellectuals who were otherwise divided by language and politics. This book assesses the regional implications of US power...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Arthur Goodzeit Award Throughout 1943, the German army, heirs to a military tradition that demanded and perfected relentless offensive operations, succumbed to the realities of its own overreach and the demands of twentieth-century industrialized warfare. In his new study, prizewinning author Robert Citino chronicles this weakening Wehrmacht, now fighting desperately on the defensive but still remarkably dangerous and lethal. Drawing on his impeccable command of German-language sources, Citino offers fresh, vivid, and detailed treatments of key campaigns during this...

Why Germany Nearly Won: A New History of the Second World War in Europe
ISBN: 9780313395925 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Why Germany Nearly Won: A New History of the Second World War in Europe" challenges this conventional wisdom in highlighting how the re-establishment of the traditional German art of war--updated to accommodate new weapons systems--paved the way for Germany to forge a considerable military edge over its much larger potential rivals by playing to its qualitative strengths as a continental power. Ironically, these methodologies also created and exacerbated internal contradictions that undermined the same war machine and left it vulnerable to enemies with the capacity to adapt and build on...

The Wehrmacht's Last Stand: The German Campaigns of 1944-1945
ISBN: 9780700624942 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 632 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) By 1943, the war was lost, and most German officers knew it. Three quarters of a century later, the question persists: What kept the German army going in an increasingly hopeless situation? Where some historians have found explanations in the power of Hitler or the role of ideology, Robert M. Citino, the world's leading scholar on the subject, posits a more straightforward solution: Bewegungskrieg, the way of war cultivated by the Germans over the course of history. In this gripping account of German military campaigns during the final phase of World War II, Citino charts the...

Quest for Decisive Victory: From Stalemate to Blitzkrieg in Europe, 1899-1940
ISBN: 9780700616558 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Since the earliest days of warfare, military operations have followed a predictable formula: after a decisive battle, an army must pursue the enemy and destroy its organization in order to achieve a victorious campaign. But by the mid-nineteenth century, the emergence of massive armies and advanced weaponry--and the concomitant decline in the effectiveness of cavalry--had diminished the practicality of pursuit, producing campaigns that bogged down short of decisive victory. Great battles had become curiously indecisive, decisive campaigns virtually impossible. At the beginning of the...

Broken Symmetry
ISBN: 9780814207314 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) These are poems that take a hard look at the experience of one individual, but always in terms of place and context, and other lives. Employing 'broken symmetry'-a term from high energy physics for a state in which traces of an earlier symmetry can be found-as a description of the contemporary fractured world and his own fitfully declining health, Citino seeks to know whether an unbroken symmetry ever existed, or whether it is human nature to believe fervently in some lost golden age.
