In late 1940 a group of five young Australian soldiers set out on a secret mission: one of the Second World War’s most daring operations and the first for Britain’s legendary Special Operations Executive. Leading a small force of Ethiopian freedom fighters on an epic trek across the harsh African bush from the Sudan, the small incursion force entered Italian-occupied Ethiopia and began waging a guerilla war against the 250,000-strong Italian army. One of these men, Ken Burke, was Duncan McNab's uncle.

"Weisst du was ich einfach so faszinierend daran finde, dass du bei der Bundeswehr gelandet bist? Wir waren irgendwann mal, als wir in der Schule waren, auf einer Jobmesse […] und da hast du dich für die Bundeswehr interessiert. Und ich meine, dass da nur Männer waren – so "White-CIS-Male", wie das halt so ist – und die haben darüber gelacht, dass du zur Bundeswehr möchtest. Und du warst so frustriert, meine ich in Erinnerung zu haben und letzten Endes bist du halt doch bei der Bundeswehr gelandet!" schreibt mir eine ehemalige Klassenkameradin vor einigen Wochen bei Instagram.

The Art of War by Sun Tzu is much more than an ancient treatise on military strategy: it is a timeless guide on how to face challenges, make wise decisions, and win intelligently.

In this reexamination of Confederate war aims, Joseph L. Harsh analyzes the military policy and grand strategy adopted by Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis in the first two years of the Civil War. Recent critics of Lee have depicted him as a general of tactical brilliance, but one who lacked strategic vision.

Few works in human history have shaped the course of warfare, strategy, and leadership as profoundly as The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Written over 2,500 years ago during China’s Warring States period, this timeless treatise transcends its origins as a military manual, offering wisdom that applies not only to warfare but to politics, business, diplomacy, and personal growth. At its core, The Art of War is a philosophy of strategy—one that emphasizes intelligence, adaptability, and the mastery of conflict through knowledge rather than brute force.

Acclaimed military writer Mark Urban explores the extraordinary story of these military pioneers; the toughest and deadliest infantrymen in Wellington's Army. Immortalised in Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels, the 95th Rifles were skirmishers tasked with acting as Wellington's advanced guard. It was new technology for the warfare of the time: they travelled light, moved rapidly, armed with the accurate rifles that would allow them to take shots from distance. The 95th Rifles were the prototype of the modern infantryman.

It is against a remarkable backdrop of complicated wooden sailing ships and their overwhelmingly complex management and warfare that we may see true leadership displayed in ways most interesting and instructive. Given the challenges of these massive sailing cities from operational, tactical, and strategic considerations, the need for leadership in this historic era was monumental. It is when challenges are the greatest, when pressures are the highest, when risk is at its maximum, that the real mettle of leaders is revealed.

Topics that are covered include Indian Territory, Quantrill’s Raiders, Frank and Jesse James, The Wild West, Texas Rangers, Confederados, Knights of the Golden Circle, Confederate gold, Confederate Colonies and much more.

In the shadowed swamps of Revolutionary South Carolina, General Francis Marion—the Swamp Fox—waged a war of wits against the British Empire, turning mud and moonlight into weapons of liberty. With a ragtag militia, he struck like thunder, vanishing before the redcoats could strike back, his name a whispered legend of defiance. Now, in The Swamp Fox Unleashed, retired Marine Colonel Daniel Hunter Wilson reveals how Marion’s guerrilla genius echoes through centuries, shaping the Marine Corps’ modern doctrine of maneuver warfare.

É impossível separar o nome de Adolf Hitler do maior genocídio da história da humanidade. Os setenta anos do início da Segunda Guerra Mundial, completados em 2009, reavivam os humores com relação ao conflito que o mundo jamais conseguiu perdoar. Filmes, livros e exposições tentam, ao mesmo tempo, homenagear os milhões de mortos, ao mesmo tempo em que se propõem a decifrar causas e personalidades que desencadearam o horror. Hitler, seu idealizador, encabeça ainda hoje a lista de nomes históricos que simbolizam a crueldade.

Mesmo após setenta anos do início da Segunda Guerra Mundial, completados em 2009, ainda é impossível separar o nome de Adolf Hitler do maior genocídio da história da humanidade.

Os nazistas, responsáveis pelo Holocausto durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, foram exemplarmente punidos após a derrota alemã, certo? Não foi bem assim. Muitos desses carrascos desfrutaram o resto da vida em liberdade, em vários cantos do planeta, como se fossem parte da mesma sociedade civilizada que eles tanto se esforçaram em destruir. Eram vistos como vizinhos pacatos, cidadãos de bem. E isso só foi possível porque, aos olhos de muita gente, o "passado" deveria ficar no "passado". É essa história de impunidade que o historiador e jornalista Marcos Guterman conta.

Korea: War Without End examines the stand-off between East and West in Korea that ultimately defined the second half of the 20th century. It provides a critical analysis of the lack of preparation by the West for war; the results of the North Korean invasion in June 1950; the counter-stroke by MacArthur in September and then the strategic overreach which led to communist China’s involvement on the North Korean side, and the rapid escalation to consideration of the use of nuclear weapons.

" La Collaboration demeure “le plus délicat des problèmes posés par la défaite et la division de la France” (Stanley Hoffmann). Il s’agit d’un concept flou, que l’on a chargé d’une mission impossible, consistant à ranger sous une étiquette commune des Français d’origines, de motivations et de conduites très différentes, souvent contradictoires. Elle n’a jamais inspiré une politique clairement déterminée, fixée une fois pour toutes, car elle s’adaptait en permanence aux circonstances.

Holodomor Famine explores one of the most tragic and often forgotten events in recent history. Using historical records and personal stories, this audiobook shows how Stalin’s harsh policies crushed the Ukrainian people and how the world largely looked away.

A genuine classic. Not to be missed. By one of the masters of nonfiction. Monte Sole - Mountain of the Sun - had the bad luck to lie on the main route of withdrawal of the retreating German armies in autumn 1944. As the allied advance stormed up Italy to the very shadow of Monte Sole, Axis frustration over their retreat and the harassing Italian partisans reached its peak.

Paralelamente às guerras visíveis – divulgadas, documentadas, fotografadas e televisionadas ao longo da história –, outras guerras tão ou mais importantes são travadas nas sombras, às escondidas dos olhos dos cidadãos comuns: agências e serviços secretos vêm desde sempre atuando nos bastidores do poder, produzindo conhecimentos que serviram e servem para influenciar decisões governamentais (até mesmo catapultando os conflitos que acontecem às claras). A ação dos agentes secretos, romanceada em livros e em filmes hollywoodianos, já é naturalmente cercada de mistérios.
