Spearhead - Adam Makos - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Spearhead - Adam Makos - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

''Gripping'' Wall Street Journal ________________________ At first, gunner Clarence Smoyer and his fellow crewmen in the legendary 3rd Armored Division - ''Spearhead'' - thought their tanks were invincible. Then they met the German Panther, with a gun so murderous it could shoot through one Sherman and into the next. Soon a pattern emerged: the lead tank always gets hit. After seeing his friends cut down breaching the West Wall and holding the line in the Battle of the Bulge, Clarence and his crew are given a weapon with the power to avenge their fallen brothers: the Pershing, a state-of-the-art ''super tank'', one of twenty in the European theatre. But with it comes a harrowing new responsibility: now they will spearhead every attack and, in doing so, will lead the US Army into its largest urban battle of the war, the fight for Cologne, the ''Fortress City'' of Germany... ''Spearhead shimmers in eclipsing moments of valor, luck and compassion.'' Washington Times

The Heresy of Dr Dee - Phil (author) Rickman - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

THE SECOND INSTALMENT IN THE JOHN DEE PAPERS The acclaimed second instalment of The John Dee Papers. Tudor intrigue, murder and the dark arts - brooding superstition leaves John Dee isolated in the land of his father... ''Chills, thrills and satisfies. A fabulous read.'' - Huffington Post At the end of the sunless summer of 1560, black rumour shrouds the death of the one woman who stands between Lord Robert Dudley and marriage to the young Queen Elizabeth. Did Dudley''s wife, Amy, die from an accidental fall in a deserted house, or was it murder? Even Dr John Dee, astrologer royal, adviser on the Hidden and one of Dudley''s oldest friends, is uncertain. Then a rash promise to the Queen sends him to his family''s old home on the Welsh Border in pursuit of the Wigmore Shewstone, a crystal credited with supernatural properties. With John Dee goes Robert Dudley, considered the most hated man in England. They travel with a London judge sent to try a sinister Welsh brigand with a legacy dating back to the Battle of Brynglas. After the battle, many of the English bodies were, according to legend, obscenely mutilated. Now, on the same haunted hill, another dead man has been found, similarly slashed. Devious politics, small-town corruption, twisted religion and a brooding superstition leave John Dee isolated in the land of his father. The previous book in the bestselling The John Dee Papers is The Bones of Avalon.

Carl von Clausewitz's On War - Sir Hew Strachan - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Carl von Clausewitz's On War - Sir Hew Strachan - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

On War by Carl von Clausewitz was first published in Germany after the Napoleonic Wars. One of the most significant treatises on military strategy ever written, it is still prescribed at various military academies today. Its description of ''absolute war'' and its insistence on the centrality of battle to war have been blamed for the level of destruction involved in both the First and Second World Wars. Hew Strachan''s accessible book challenges the popular misconceptions that surround On War . He dispels the notion that for Clausewitz policy necessarily shapes war, asserting instead that war has its own dynamic and that its reciprocal effects can themselves shape policy. Strachan returns to the very heart of On War to recover the arguments at its core; in the process challenging the received wisdom about this cornerstone of military strategy.

Wings - Patrick Bishop - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Wings - Patrick Bishop - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

The Royal Air Force is synonymous with its heroic achievements in the summer of 1940, when Winston Churchill''s ''famous few'' held Goering''s Luftwaffe at bay in the Battle of Britain, thereby changing the course of the war. For much of the twentieth century, warplanes were fixed in the world''s imagination, a symbol of the perils and excitements of the modern era. Aviators have always seemed different to soldiers and sailors - more adventurous and imaginative. Their stories gripped the public and in both wars and air aces dominated each side''s propaganda, capturing hearts and dreams. Writing with the verve, passion and the sheer narrative aplomb familiar to many thousands of readers from his bestselling Second World War aerial histories, Fighter Boys and Bomber Boys , Patrick Bishop''s Wings is a rich and compelling account of military flying from its heroic early days to the present.

Spitfire - Jonathan Glancey - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Spitfire - Jonathan Glancey - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Updated edition to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. It is difficult to overestimate the excitement that accompanied the birth of the Spitfire. An aircraft imbued with balletic grace and extraordinary versatility, it was powered by a piston engine and a propeller, yet came tantalisingly close to breaking the sound barrier. First flown in 1936, the Spitfire soon came to symbolize Britain''s defiance of Nazi Germany in the summer of 1940. Spitfire: The Biography is a celebration of a great British invention, of the men and women who flew it and supported its development, and of the industry that manufactured both the aircraft and the Rolls-Royce engines that powered it. It is also about the ways in which the sight, sound and fury of this lithe and legendary fighter continue to stir the public imagination worldwide more than eighty years on.
