Between King Cotton and Queen Victoria recenters our understanding of the Civil War by framing it as a hemispheric affair, deeply influenced by the actions of a network of private parties and minor officials in the Confederacy and British territory in and around North America. John Wilkes Booth likely would not have been in a position to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, for example, without the logistical support and assistance of the pro-Confederate network in Canada.

In October 1962, American spy planes discovered the Soviets were building nuclear missile sites in Cuba, and intelligence officials informed President John F. Kennedy of this on October 16th. It went without saying that nuclear missile sites located just miles off the coast of the American mainland posed a grave threat to the country, especially because missiles launched from Cuba would reach their targets in mere minutes. That would throw off important military balances in nuclear arms and locations that had previously ensured the Cold War stayed cold.

В настоящем издании впервые публикуется рукопись Федора Васильевича Челнокова (1866–1925) — потомственного промышленника и почетного гражданина Москвы — написанная им в эмиграции в 1919–1925 гг. «Балканские тетради», первая часть рукописи, описывают драматические события 1919 года: вторжение Красной армии на территорию Крыма приводит к так называемой «крымской эвакуации» — массовому исходу населения и войск белой армии и Антанты. Вместе с братом, автор покидает Россию на британском судне и попадает в Сербию, только что отвоевавшую свою независимость.

The development of the Russian military's strategic thought is an understudied and thus misunderstood subject in the West. Strategy in Russia encompasses the broader context of foreign and domestic policy as well as the military's ties to the country's leadership. The military's strategic thought is closely linked to Russia's existence as a state and explains patterns of Russian confrontation.

Adolf Hitler's plan to break British morale during the months after the D-Day landings in June 1944 involved the invention and implementation of the world's first rocket-delivered warhead – the V1, or 'Doodle Bug' as it was christened by Londoners. As the launch sites for the V1 were captured by Allied forces advancing through Belgium and into the Netherlands, a new, more terrifying rocket now hit London in mid-September, seemingly out of thin air – the V2.

Arnold Döring was just 23 years old when he flew his first mission against the Soviet Union on June 21, 1941. On that day he started writing his diary.

Em Guerra e política em psicanálise, o premiado psicanalista Joel Birman refaz o percurso freudiano sobre o conceito de guerra e suas relações com a política e a fundação da psicanálise. Após o fim da Guerra Fria, com a vitória da democracia liberal e da economia capitalista de livre mercado, segundo a proposição do fim da história de Francis Fukuyama, acreditava-se que a humanidade atingiria o equilíbrio.

Al igual que otros países, España ha vivido a lo largo de su historia luchas fratricidas, pero solo la que comenzó el 18 de julio de 1936 es recordada como la Guerra Civil por antonomasia. Ese conflicto fue total pues movilizó todo tipo de recursos como quizá nunca hasta entonces: desde los económicos, sociales y políticos, hasta los ideológicos, culturales y diplomáticos, y, por supuesto, los militares. La Guerra Civil.

Juin est grand quand il est à la tête de ses tirailleurs marocains que ce soit dans les tranchées de 1914 ou, trente ans plus tard, sur les pentes des Abruzzes. Il est en avance avec son temps en Indochine ou au commandement de l'OTAN.

American wars in Iraq were a defining feature of global politics for almost thirty years. The Gulf War of 1991, the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the campaign against the Islamic State beginning in 2014 each had their own logic. Each occurrence was a distinct conflict; however they must not only be considered in isolation. The United States spent the 1990s trying but failing to implement the Gulf War's cease fire agreement. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, American leaders decided to settle the open-ended aftermath of the Gulf War by launching the Iraq War of 2003.

In the spring of 1945, the world witnessed the fall of Nazi Germany and the near-total annihilation of its capital. Berlin, once a metropolis of culture, politics, and ambition, became the stage for one of the most devastating urban battles in modern history. When the guns finally fell silent, the city that had symbolized both Prussian grandeur and Hitler’s vision of a “world capital” lay in ruins—a smoldering monument to the destructive power of total war.

Drawing on contemporary sagas as historical sources, and capturing some of their spellbinding narrative drive, renowned historian and Orkney native Angus Konstam describes how these Norse earls and their followers led Viking raids around the British Isles and even further afield. At their military height in the 11th century, they held a 400-mile swathe of territory, stretching from Shetland down to the Clyde Estuary.

For the first eighteen years of Simon Weisz's life his parents were at pains to keep their past concealed from him. In conversations over the following decades, Simon's mother gradually, often reluctantly, revealed more of her past: from the growing oppression her family had had to endure in the late 1930s, to her deportation first to Auschwitz and then to Ravensbrück, to the brutal death march she withstood from the ruins of Berlin in 1945.
