Krig

Ett politiskt tillkännagivande, stormakter som slåss och den psykologiska delen av krig och dess inverkan på deras soldater. Det är mycket som ingår i att planera och genomföra en strategi, där vissa ser det som en konst att föra krig. Det handlar inte bara om de krig som är förödande, utan även om de krig som vi har inom oss själva, samt hur vi övervinner motståndare. Det är ett unikt tankesätt som många av de bästa idrottarna, företagare och politiska makter har använt i decennier. Vi har ett stort utbud av böcker inom ämnet, så oavsett om det är världskrig eller politiska strider du letar efter så har vi båda. Vi har även böcker som tittar på konsten att föra krig, de som ger oss verktyg att bekämpa motståndare psykologiskt och inte fysiskt. Bli inspirerad och lär dig mer om hur du kan vinna de strider du har i vardagen eller lär dig mer om de krig som har utkämpats.

  • - The Age of Marius, Sulla and Pompey the Great
    av Ross Cowan
    191

    The Roman centurion, holding the legionaries steady before the barbarian horde and then leading them forward to victory, was the heroic exemplar of the Roman world. This was thanks to the Marian reforms, which saw the centurion, although inferior in military rank and social class, superseding the tribune as the legion''s most important officer. This period of reform in the Roman Army is often overlooked, but the invincible armies that Julius Caesar led into Gaul were the refined products of 50 years of military reforms. Using specially commissioned artwork and detailed battle reports, this new study examines the Roman legionary soldier at this crucial time in the history of the Roman Republic from its domination by Marius and Sulla to the beginning of the rise of Julius Caesar.

  • - Life Lessons from the Commander of the Band of Brothers
    av Cole C. Kingseed
    221

    On the hellish battlefields of World War II Europe, Major Dick Winters led his Easy Company-the now-legendary Band of Brothers-from the confusion and chaos of the D-Day invasion to the final capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest. Winters was a quiet, reluctant hero whose modesty and strength drew the admiration of not only his men, but millions worldwide. Now comes the story of his last years as witnessed and experienced by his good friend Cole C. Kingseed. Kingseed shares the formative experiences that made Winters such an effective leader. He addresses Winters's experiences and leadership during the war, his intense, unbreakable devotion to his men, his search for peace both without and within after the war, and how fame forced him to make adjustments to an international audience of well-wishers and admirers, even as he attempted to leave a lasting legacy before joining his fallen comrades. Following Winters's death on January 2, 2011, the outpouring of grief and adulation for one of this nation's preeminent leaders of character, courage, and competence showed just how much of an impact Dick Winters left on the world.INCLUDES PHOTOS

    av Christopher Westhorp

    The Commandos were created by Winston Churchill in 1940 as a 'butcher and bolt' raiding unit to destroy vital targets in German occupied Europe. Recruits for this 'special service' were all volunteers, drawn from the British Army, and later from the Royal Marines and other Allied armies. Commando training was extremely demanding - men had to be physically fit and show initiative, mental toughness and adaptability. The training courses were designed to cultivate these qualities and to simulate real battle experiences, which included the use of live ammunition. Commandos learned a diverse range of skills at dedicated training centres in the remote Scottish Highlands. This pocket-book draws on authentic training manuals, lecture notes, course literature and other material from the commando schools to give a real insight into this highly specialised fighting unit - demonstrating how commandos were taught to live, fight and move on offensive operations, initially as raiding parties, and later as skilled assault infantry. Sections of the book cover survival and fieldcraft skills; night operations; assaulting obstacles; use of equipment - such as the COPPS canoe for beach reconnaissance and sabotage; and weapons training, including the Thompson submachine gun, the Bren gun, and the famous emblem of the commandos - the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife.
