Celebrated historian Winston Groom tells the intertwined and uniquely American tales of George Patton, Douglas MacArthur, and George Marshall - from the World War I battle that shaped them to their greatest victory: leading the allies to victory in World War II. These three remarkable men-of-arms who rose from the gruesome hell of the First World War to become the finest generals of their generation during World War II redefined America's ideas of military leadership and brought forth a new generation of American soldier. Their efforts revealed to the world the grit and determination that would become synonymous with America in the post-war years.

Despite the attention paid to the Afrikakorps over the years, it was the numerically far superior forces of the Italian Army that held the line and formed the bulk of the fighting power available to the Axis powers during the War in the Desert from 1941 through to 1943. Their performance has been unfairly criticised over the years - the best units of the Italian Army were equal to those of the British and Germans - but they suffered from a lack of mobility and poor equipment that made it impossible for them to meet mobile British forces on anywhere near equal terms.

The mainland and islands of Greece were extensively settled by peoples moving from Asia Minor in c.5000 BC, while a further wave in c.5000 BC introduced bronze-working to the region. It is form this point on that it is possible to discern a distinct Cycladic or Aegean civilisation, developing at roughly the same time as the Egyptian and Persian civilisations. Further to the south, the Minoan civilisation based on Crete held sway, and this power - along with the Helladic Achaeans to the north gradually swamped the Cycladic civilisation in between.

Between AD 69 and 161 the composition of the Roman legions was transformed. Italians were almost entirely replaced by provincial recruits, men for whom Latin was at best a second language, and yet the ‘Roman-ness' of these Germans, Pannonians, Spaniards, Africans and Syrians, fostered in isolated fortresses on the frontiers, was incredibly strong. They were highly competitive, jealous of their honour, and driven by the need to maintain and enhance their reputations for virtus, that is manly courage and excellence.

Действия китайских добровольцев Красной Армии в годы гражданской войны связываются обычно с Востоком нашей страны. Однако китайские красноармейские подразделения плечом к плечу с русскими братьями боролись за власть Советов также на полях Юга и Центра России. Задавшись целью осветить неизвестные страницы истории гражданской войны, писатели Г. Новогрудский и А. Дунаевский предприняли большой литературный поиск. В течение трех лет шаг за шагом шли они по следам героического Владикавказского китайского батальона и его командира Пау Ти-Сана, боевой путь которого пролег от предгорий Кавказского хребта до песков Средней Азии. В живой, увлекательной форме авторы воскрешают незабываемые события 1917-1920 годов, впервые с достаточной полнотой раскрывая перед читателем картину участия в них китайских добровольцев.
