The Aif in Battle: How the Australian Imperial Force Fought, 1914-1918
ISBN: 9780522868654 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

While sometimes a source of pride and not a little boasting, how the force came to be so was not due to any inherent national prowess or trait. Instead it was the culmination of years of training, organisational change, battlefield experimentation and hard-won experience;a process that included not just the Australians, but the wider British imperial armies as well. This book brings together some of...

Logistics Matters and the U.S. Army in Occupied Germany, 1945-1949
ISBN: 9783319388359 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the U. S. Army s presence in Germany after the Nazi regime s capitulation in May 1945. This presence required the pursuit of two stated missions: to secure German borders, and to establish an occupation government within the assigned U.S. zone and sector of Berlin. Both missions required logistics support, a critical aspect often understated in existing scholarship. The security mission, covered by the combat troops, declined between 1945 and 1948, but grew again with the Berlin Blockade/Airlift in 1948, and then again with the Korean crisis in 1950. The logistics mission...
