They were history's most famous and ferocious warriors. From the Huns to the Mongols, successive waves of nomadic horsemen swept out of the great steppes of Central Asia and wreaked havoc on the static civilizations of Europe, India, and China. How were they so successful? And, what were the limits of their powers? An esteemed professor--who specializes in Arabic and medieval studies--reveals just how "underdeveloped" societies spawned such great generals, from Attila to Genghis Khan; how nomadic Arabs swarmed from the desert in the 7th century to carve out an empire that stretched from Spain to the Chinese frontier; why the Mongols failed to conquer Europe; and where those unique, seaborne raiders, the Vikings, fit into this story. | |

In ancient and medieval times the lands of what is now referred to as the former Soviet Union provided the battlegrounds for some of the most fantastic warriors history has known. The purpose of this book is to give us a glimpse of what they looked like. It features twenty-two full colour plates showing expert reconstructions of nearly seventy exotic warriors from places as far apart as from the Danube in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east, where Chuckchi warriors even terrorised the inhabitants of the western coasts of America! Each plate is accompanied by its own text giving a short historical outline and a description of the military characteristics and arms and armour of its principals.

Название: The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors
Издательство: Bantam Books
Год: 2004
Формат: PDF
Страниц: 552
Язык: English
Размер: 72 MB
Told from the point of view of the men who waged this steel-shattering battle, The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors captures Navy pilots attacking enemy battleships with makeshift weapons and sacrificial valor, a veteran commander improvising tactics never taught at Annapolis, and young crews from across America rising to an impossible challenge. It takes us into the heart and mind of an iron-willed, self-made executive officer leading his men through a sea of carnage and two hellish days and nights clinging to survival amid oil, blood, sharks, and madness. And it dramatizes how the overmatched U.S. force, enduring the loss of five gallant ships and nearly a thousand brave men, turned a certain crushing defeat into a momentous victory that would lead to the final surrender of America's ruthless imperial foe.Filled with riveting detail and based on the author's extensive interviews and correspondence with veterans, unpublished eyewitness accounts, declassified documents, and rare Japanese sources, this is war at sea as it has seldom been presented before - an unforgettable narrative that captures the essence of heroism, the power of loyalty, and the way in which the unadorned truth is more stirring than legend itself. | |

Название: Maritime Memories of Puget Sound, in Photographs and Text
Издательство: Superior Publishing Company
Год: 1976
Формат: PDF
Страниц: 154
Язык: English
Размер: 40 MB
There were good times, exhilarating times and sad times…it was an era of beginnings, first times and frontiers by land and sea. Joe Williamson and Jim Gibbs have joined their talents and captured here the magic, nostalgia and panorama of maritime action of Puget Sound in western Washington State. From its first sightings by English explorers George Vancouvre and Peter Puget in 1792, this unique waterway grew in importance as industry, and settlements helped develop it according to European, rather than its original Indian, uses. 335 old photographs of ships, people and early towns and the historical text tie ship and shore together through the story of the settling of this vast woodland area up to the beginning of the twentieth century. Historians will recognize the importance of this appealing book of social, economic and maritime history. | |
