Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Prominent military historian Victor Davis Hanson explores the nature of leadership with his usual depth and vivid prose in The Savior Generals, a set of brilliantly executed pocket biographies of five generals (Themistocles, Belisarius, William Tecumseh Sherman, Matthew Ridgway, and David Petraeus) who single-handedly saved their nations from defeat in war.

Sudden, sharp changes in fortune can reverse the course of...

Hoplites : The Classical Greek Battle Experience
ISBN: 9780415098168 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) There are many books on ancient Greek warfare which focus on tactical or strategic problems. This text, however, concentrates on the experiences of the soldiers who did the fighting, not on their generals, nor on logistics, tactics, or strategy, which were, after all, deliberately secondary considerations.

The Western Way of War: Infantry Battle in Classical Greece
ISBN: 9780520260092 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The Greeks of the classical age invented not only the central idea of Western politics--that the power of state should be guided by a majority of its citizens--but also the central act of Western warfare, the decisive infantry battle. Instead of ambush, skirmish, or combat between individual heroes, the Greeks of the fifth century B.C. devised a ferocious, brief, and destructive head-on clash between armed men of all ages. In this bold, original study, Victor Davis Hanson shows how this brutal enterprise was dedicated to the same outcome as consensual government--an unequivocal, instant...

Ripples of Battle: How Wars of the Past Still Determine How We Fight, How We Live, and How We Think
ISBN: 9780385721943 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The effects of war refuse to remain local: they persist through the centuries, sometimes in unlikely ways far removed from the military arena. In Ripples of Battle, the acclaimed historian Victor Davis Hanson weaves wide-ranging military and cultural history with his unparalleled gift for battle narrative as he illuminates the centrality of war in the human experience.
The Athenian defeat at Delium in 424 BC brought tactical innovations to infantry fighting; it also assured the influence of the philosophy of Socrates, who fought well in the battle. Nearly twenty-three... The effects of war refuse to remain local: they persist through the centuries, sometimes in unlikely ways far removed from the military arena. In R...

Warfare and Agriculture in Classical Greece, Revised Edition
ISBN: 9780520215962 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The ancient Greeks were for the most part a rural, not an urban, society. And for much of the Classical period, war was more common than peace. Almost all accounts of ancient history assume that farming and fighting were critical events in the lives of the citizenry. Yet never before have we had a comprehensive modern study of the relationship between agriculture and warfare in the Greek world. In this completely revised edition of Warfare and Agriculture in Classical Greece, Victor Davis Hanson provides a systematic review of Greek agriculture and warfare and describes the...

ISBN: 9788367272216 / Polski / miękka ze skrzydełkami / 422 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Historia ludzkości pełna jest opowieści o chłopach, poddanych i plemionach. Jednak koncepcja „obywatela” jest historyczną rzadkością — i przez ponad dwa wieki była jednym z najważniejszych ideałów Ameryki. Jednak bez radykalnych działań amerykański etos obywatela, jaki znamy, może wkrótce zniknąć, ostrzega historyk Victor Davis Hanson.
W książce Śmierć Obywatela Hanson opisuje historyczne siły, które doprowadziły do tego kryzysu. Osłabienie klasy średniej na przestrzeni ostatnich pięćdziesięciu lat sprawiło, że wielu Amerykanów stało się zależnych od...

The Other Greeks: The Family Farm and the Agrarian Roots of Western Civilization
ISBN: 9780520209350 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 596 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) For generations, scholars have focused on the rise of the Greek city-state and its brilliant cosmopolitan culture as the ultimate source of the Western tradition in literature, philosophy, and politics. This passionate book leads us outside the city walls to the countryside, where the vast majority of the Greek citizenry lived, to find the true source of the cultural wealth of Greek civilization. Victor Hanson shows that the real "Greek revolution" was not merely the rise of a free and democratic urban culture, but rather the historic innovation of the independent family farm. The...

Mexifornia: A State of Becoming

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Massive illegal immigration from Mexico into California, Victor Davis Hanson writes, coupled with a loss of confidence in the old melting pot model of transforming newcomers into Americans, is changing the very nature of state. Yet we Californians have been inadequate in meeting this challenge, both failing to control our borders with Mexico and to integrate the new alien population into our mainstream. Part history, part political analysis, and part memoir, Mexifornia is an intensely personal work by one of our most important writers. Hanson is perhaps known best for his military histories...

Why the West has Won
ISBN: 9780571216406 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Victor Davis Hanson proposes that the military superiority and global dominance of The West has been intimately linked to its faith in democracy and personal liberty. Rather than measuring the worth of the west through its cultural or literary accomplishments, Hanson engages with the much starker record of its successes in combat against non-western armies. In place of the Great Books, he studies the Great Battles and augments his bold thesis with some evocations of the intensity of warfare.
