A Few Bad Men is the incredible true story of an elite team of U.S. Marines set up to take the fall for Afghanistan war crimes they did not commit—and their leader who fought for the redemption of his men. Ambushed in Afghanistan and betrayed by their own leaders—these elite Marines fought for their lives again, back home. A cross between A Few Good Men and American Sniper, this is the true story of an elite Marine special operations unit bombed by an IED and shot at during an Afghanistan ambush. The Marine Commandos were falsely accused of gunning down innocent Afghan civilians following the ambush. The unit’s leader, Maj. Fred Galvin, was summarily relieved of duty and his unit was booted from the combat zone. They were condemned by everyone, from the Afghan president to American generals. When Fox Company returned to America, Galvin and his captain were the targets of the first Court of Inquiry in the Marines in fifty years. One reason I wrote this book was so that every American citizen would know how U.S. - led coalition forces had won a decisive victory against terrorists in Afghanistan by 2005 and yet lost the war, ignominiously bugging out in August 2021.

An interdisciplinary book for students that delves into one of the most horrific periods in global history. An excellent roadmap for today’s political climate. The basic human losses of World War I can be made plain with these staggering casualties: 9 million dead soldiers, 7 million civilian lives lost, millions more wounded. But those numbers only hint at the devastation, both political and personal, that lies at the heart of the Great War. World War I: The Great War to End All Wars brings to light the key details of this critical point in history. It marks the transition to a modern era in which mass destruction became a reality through military technologies a century in the making. By examining military life on the battlefields and in the trenches, as well as focusing on anti-war protest movements, art and popular culture, home-front efforts across the globe, and experiences in British and French colonies, this book offers a sense of how World War I penetrated all corners of the world and impacted all of its peoples. Graphic novel-style illustrations, amazing historical photography, and primary sources bring the past to life and illustrate how far World War I reached around the globe.

It has been famously pointed out that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, but it was also not an empire in the sense people expect when hearing the term. In theory, the emperor was the highest prince in Christendom, and his dominion extended the length and breadth of Western Europe. The empire had been created by the papacy in 801 when Pope Leo III famously crowned the supposedly unwitting Charlemagne in Saint Peter’s Basilica, intending to recreate the Western Roman Empire. In truth, the imperial power did not extend beyond central Europe, which by the beginning of the 16th century included Germany, northern Italy, and the Netherlands. Even in these lands, however, the emperor struggled to command obedience. His dominion over northern Italy was theoretical only, the cities of the Netherlands were deeply conscious of their ancient rights and privileges, and Germany had long ceased to be compliant.

Battalion 3/5 suffered the highest number of casualties in the war in Afghanistan. This is the story of one platoon in that distinguished battalion. Aware of U.S. plans to withdraw from the country, knowing their efforts were only a footprint in the sand, the fifty Marines of 3rd Platoon fought in Sangin, the most dangerous district in all of Afghanistan. So heavy were the casualties that the Secretary of Defense offered to pull the Marines out.

Английский тяжелый истребитель Hawker Demon Новый легкий дневной бомбардировщик Hawker Hart, недавно появившийся у англичан, обладал многими потенциальными возможностями. Увидев, как легко этот бомбардировщик обходит истребители, военные решили, что на его базе получится неплохой тяжелый истребитель. Работы над его проектом начались в 1930-м. В истребитель, названный поначалу «Харт Файтер», переделали первую серийную машину. С нее убрали бомбовое вооружение, ликвидировали лежачее место летнаба. Зато поставили более высотный мотор «Кестрел» IIS и еще один пулемет спереди. Кольцо задней турели разместили не горизонтально, а под небольшим углом. Перед турелью поставили маленький ветровой козырек, защищавший от набегающего воздушного потока наблюдателя, и увеличили сектора обстрела. Подобным же образом доработали еще один серийный самолет, и оба предъявили на испытания. Летные данные истребителя оказались примерно такими же, как у бомбардировщика, значительный прирост был только в скороподъемности и практическом потолке. Министерство авиации заказало небольшую серию таких машин, поступивших в 23-ю эскадрилью в Кенли в марте 1931-го. В процессе эксплуатации постоянно поступали жалобы на сильное задувание кабины стрелка, мешавшее прицеливаться. ...
