Leopard 1 Main Battle Tank
ISBN: 9781855325203 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Development of the Leopard 1 can be traced back to November 1956, when the operational requirement for a new battle tank was formulated by the Federal German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr). Originally a Franco-German project, the tank under design was named the 'Standard-Panzer'. The French later dropped out, however, and on 1 October 1963 the 'Standard' tank was officially named 'Leopard', an appropriate choice considering Germany's wartime pedigree with the formidable Tiger and Panther. This book traces the development and service record of the Leopard 1, detailing its control systems,...

ISBN: 9780253009845 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this engaging book, Jeremy Black argues that technology neither acts as an independent variable nor operates without major limitations. This includes its capacity to obtain end results, as technology's impact is far from simple and its pathways are by no means clear. After considering such key conceptual points, Black discusses important technological advances in weaponry and power projection from sailing warships to aircraft carriers, muskets to tanks, balloons to unmanned drones--in each case, taking into account what difference these advances made. He addresses not only firepower but... In this engaging book, Jeremy Black argues that technology neither acts as an independent variable nor operates without major limitations. This inc... |

First published in 1952, this volume is a history of the evolution of an air defense system in the United States from approximately the end of World War II through June 1951. The decision to include in the present work an account of the pioneer air defense efforts of its predecessors as well as major developments within the Air Defense Command for the first half of 1951 was prompted by certain important historiographical considerations. Foremost of these was the necessity for placing the present Air Defense Command's air defense effort in its proper historical setting. Unfortunately, there...

Superweapon: The Making of MX
ISBN: 9780393335668 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Missile X is a nuclear weapon of unprecedented destructive power. Once deployed, it could destroy all Soviet land missiles in one thiry-minute barrage. If based on land, it will require a construction effort greater than the Panama Canal or the Great Wall of China. But the superweapon is also vulnerable to attack, and its construction has enormous economic and political consequences. Thus, since its inception in 1970, MX has been fiercely debated in the White House, the Pentagon, and on Capitol Hill. President Jimmy Carter called it, initially, "the craziest thing I ever heard," and... Missile X is a nuclear weapon of unprecedented destructive power.
