This book examines Byzantine attitudes towards warfare at a time of crisis when the empire ceased to be a first rate power in the Mediterranean. It investigates the correspondence between official rhetoric and propaganda, on the one hand, and military realities, on the other. It explores the military ethos of the late Byzantine aristocracy and examines Byzantine perceptions of military leadership in comparison to contemporary western European military thinking.

World War I and Propaganda offers a new look at a familiar subject. The contributions to this volume demonstrate that the traditional view of propaganda as top-down manipulation is no longer plausible. Drawing from a variety of sources, scholars examine the complex negotiations involved in propaganda within the British Empire, in occupied territories, in neutral nations, and how war should be conducted.

Линейка истребителей-бомбардировщиков от Су-7 до Су-24, семейство истребителей Су-27, прославленный штурмовик Су-25 «Грач»… По сей день эти самолеты составляют значительную часть авиапарка многих стран мира. А начинался их путь в далеком 1930 году, когда под руководством заместителя главного конструктора ЦАГИ А.Н. Туполева молодого инженера Павла Сухого была создана бригада № 4. Летом 1939 года для доводки «Сталинского задания» – ближнего бомбардировщика Су-2 – коллектив был выделен в отдельное КБ Сухого.
В 1949 году бюро было ликвидировано, однако после смерти Сталина было принято решение восстановить опытное бюро – и с 50-х годов начался взлет.

In 1664, England decided to invade the Dutch-controlled city of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. Charles II and his brother, the Duke of York, had dreams of empire, and their arch-rivals, the Dutch, were in the way. But Richard Nicolls, who led the English flotilla bent on destruction, changed his strategy once he began parleying with Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch leader on Manhattan.

In April 1945, Linz was one of Nazi Germany’s most vital assets: a crucial transportation hub and communications centre, its railyards brimming with war materiel destined for the front lines.
