Book Synopsis Stuart Tank, Vol. 1 by : David Doyle
Download or read book Stuart Tank, Vol. 1 written by David Doyle and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stuart light tanks were the first tanks taken into combat by US troops during WWII. Production of these vehicles can be broken into two categories: the early tanks powered by air-cooled radial engines, and late versions powered by twin V-8 engines. This volume explores the early, air-cooled vehicles, the M3, M3A1, and M3A3. Widely used both by the US Army and US Marines, as well as many Allied nations, these tanks, though lightly armed and armored, were mechanically sound and did much to stem the tide of Axis aggression during the early stages of the US entry into WWII. Through dozens of archival photos, including previously unpublished images, as well as detailed photographs of some of the finest existing examples of these vehicles, this early-war combat vehicle is explored and its history is explained. A companion volume will explore the later M5 and M5A1, and M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage versions. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.
Book Synopsis The Royal Canadian Armoured Corps by : John Marteinson
Download or read book The Royal Canadian Armoured Corps written by John Marteinson and published by Robin Brass Studio. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Canadian Armoured Corps has a proud and distinguished history. While the modern history of the Corps clearly begins with its official formation in the early days of the Second World War, its roots in the Canadian militia cavalry go back more than 180 years. Many histories have recorded the heritage of individual units, but most are no longer available and they focus on the deeds of their own members. The broader history of the mobile arm of the Canadian Army and of its actions as a whole has never been told. This handsome, profusely illustrated book, a Millennium project, is published to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the formation of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps. The opening chapter deals with the service of the cavalry ancestors of the Armoured Corps in the War of 1812, the Rebellions of 1837-38 and the North-West Rebellion. The First World War and the interwar period saw the advent of the tank and other new forms of armour, and the organization developed and expanded enormously to meet the demands of the Second World War. The major part of the book deals with the service of the Corps in the Second World War as Canadian armoured units played important roles in the Allied invasion of Europe and the defeat of the Third Reich. Since the war, the Armoured Corps has been involved in most of Canada's military commitments, in Korea, in Europe with NATO, and in peacekeeping operations in many parts of the world. Book jacket.

Download or read book Greece 1941 written by Jeffrey Plowman and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This WWII history presents an in-depth study of the Battle of Greece and a provocative new analysis of Nazi military tactics. Every student of the Second World War is familiar with the infamous Nazi military tactics known as blitzkrieg—or “lightning war.” In the early days of the war, these rapid attacks brough about the demise first of Poland and then the Low Countries and France. But were these tactics really as devastating as they seemed? That is the major question Jeffrey Plowman asks in this absorbing new study of the campaign in Greece in 1941. Within three weeks, the Germans overran the country. However, a close analysis of the campaign reveals that they never gained ascendancy over the token British and Anzac force sent to bolster the Greek defenders. They came close to doing so, but the Anzac troops and their Greek allies put up a spirited defense that sometimes turned the Germans’ own methods against them. This perceptive new account should prompt a reassessment of the Greek campaign. It also offers a fascinating insight into the weaknesses of the Germans’ all-conquering method of warfare which became increasing apparent during the later stages of the war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Hundreds of photos--many of them rare--of Tiger tanks and their crews • Color illustrations by Jean Restayn focus on markings, camouflage, and insignia • Inventories and timelines for each unit In this follow-up to Tigers in Combat I (0-8117-3171-5), Wolfgang Schneider turns his attention to the Tiger tanks of the Waffen-SS and the Wehrmacht's "named" units, such as the Großdeutschland Division, Company Hummel, and Tiger Group Meyer. Based on combat diaries, the text tells the history of each unit, but most of the book is devoted to photos of the tanks and the men who manned them. It offers as unique and comprehensive a look at these lethal machines as is possible decades after World War II.
Book Synopsis American Dynasty by : Kevin Phillips
Download or read book American Dynasty written by Kevin Phillips and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-09-30 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acerbic, withering account of the ascent of the Bush family to the pinnacle of the American political and social elite and the implications of the dynasty's hold on power for democracy in America. With an unerring instinct for fakery and humbug,Phillips traces the convoluted trail of Bush mendacity through three generations. The picture he paints of a family willing to do ANYTHING to hold power and a country so craven as to vote for it is both very funny and completely dismaying in equal measure.
