Описание: The length, scale and intensity of the Battle of the Atlantic led the British and German navies to make substantial changes to their organisation, strategy and tactics. In this book, Dennis Haslop examines the pivotal lessons learned, and how these helped to determine the outcome of the Battle of the Atlantic Convoy War. He questions how well adapted the two organisations were to learn from the conflict, and how effective they were in identifying problems and producing remedies. Based on the in-depth analysis of British and German primary sources, this study provides an innovative basis against which to assess the German and British approach to changing warfare and provides important new insights into aspects of convoy warfare, in particular the virtually unknown subject of German ‘Operational Research’.

Описание: The Sylloge Tacticorum is a mid-Byzantine example of the literary genre of military manuals or Taktika which stretches back to antiquity. It was one of a number produced during the tenth century CE, a period when the Byzantine empire enjoyed a large measure of success in its wars against its traditional enemy, the Arabs. Compiled to record and preserve military strategies, know-how, and tactics, the manual discusses a wide variety of matters: battle formations, raids, sieges, ambushes, surprise attacks, the treatment of prisoners of war and defectors, distribution of booty, punishment of military offences, how to mount effective espionage, and how to send and receive envoys. There is even advice on the personal qualities required by generals, on how to neutralize enemy horses, and on how to protect the troops against poisoned food. The work culminates in an account of the stratagems employed by great Greek and Roman military commanders of the past. While, like so much of Byzantine literature, the Sylloge often simply reproduces material found in earlier texts, it also preserves a great deal of information about the military tactics being developed by the Byzantine army during the tenth century. It is the first Byzantine source to record the reappearance of a specialized heavy cavalry (the kataphraktoi) and of a specialized infantry (the menavlatoi) used to repel the attacks of the opposing heavy cavalry. There is also a great deal of information on new infantry and cavalry formations and on the new tactics that required them. This is the first complete translation of the Sylloge into English. It is accompanied by a glossary of the specialised Greek military vocabulary used in the work and by footnotes which explain obscure references and identify the author’s classical and Byzantine sources. An introduction places the work in its historical and literary context and considers some of the questions that have remained unanswered over the centuries, such as its authorship and the date of its composition.

Описание: Aujourd'hui, la lutte contre la diffusion des armes nucl aires dans le monde est une priorit du gouvernement fran ais. Mais pendant longtemps les acteurs diplomatiques fran ais ont refus de suivre les r gles multilat rales dans ce domaine central de la politique internationale. Comment expliquer que la France soit devenue l'un des principaux promoteurs de la norme de non-prolif ration nucl aire apr s s'en tre tenue distance ? Pour r pondre cette question, ce livre refuse d'opposer deux approches traditionnelles de l' tude des relations internationales en mobilisant les outils et les m thodes de la sociologie politique. Il traque ainsi les contraintes du syst me international dans les effets qu'elles exercent sur les luttes et les alliances entre les diff rentes bureaucraties intervenant dans la d finition de la politique fran aise de non-prolif ration et sur les repr sentations et les actions des diplomates, hauts fonctionnaires et responsables politiques impliqu s. partir d'une enqu te de terrain approfondie sur les exportations men es dans les ann es 1970, la participation au d sarmement de l'Irak au d but des ann es 1990 et les initiatives prises autour de la question du nucl aire iranien depuis 2003, les transformations de la politique trang re de la France sont rapport es aux volutions de la division du travail diplomatique. Ce faisant, ce livre pose des jalons qui permettent de mieux rendre compte des pratiques diplomatiques et de penser autrement ce qu'est l'international.

Описание: The Japanese military was responsible for the sexual enslavement of thousands of women and girls in Asia and the Pacific during the China and Pacific wars under the guise of providing 'comfort' for battle-weary troops. Campaigns for justice and reparations for 'comfort women' since the early 1990s have highlighted the magnitude of the human rights crimes committed against Korean, Chinese and other Asian women by Japanese soldiers after they invaded the Chinese mainland in 1937. These campaigns, however, say little about the origins of the system or its initial victims. The Japanese Comfort Women and Sexual Slavery during the China and Pacific Wars explores the origins of the Japanese military's system of sexual slavery and illustrates how Japanese women were its initial victims.

Описание: While most of its contemporary religions have faded away, Israelite religion continues to have a major influence in the world. First delivered in 1975 as a Jordan Lecture in Comparative Religion, this volume argues that in its beginnings Israelite religion had much in common with ancient Mesopotamian religion and suggests that its endurance is due to its dynamic development of the concepts it shared with other religions.
