From Iraq to Bosnia to North Korea, the first question in American foreign policy debates is increasingly: Can air power alone do the job? Robert A. Pape provides a systematic answer. Analyzing the results of over thirty air campaigns, including a detailed reconstruction of the Gulf War, he argues that the key to success is attacking the enemy's military strategy, not its economy, people, or leaders. Coercive air power can succeed, but not as cheaply as air enthusiasts would like to believe.Pape examines the air raids on Germany, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq as well as those of Israel versus Egypt, providing details of bombing and governmental decision making. His detailed narratives of the strategic effectiveness of bombing range from the classical cases of World War II to an extraordinary reconstruction of airpower use in the Gulf War, based on recently declassified documents. In this now-classic work of the theory and practice of airpower and its political effects, Robert A. Pape helps military strategists and policy makers judge the purpose of various air strategies, and helps general readers understand the policy debates.

Автор: Papet Friedrich Julius Von, Burgoyne Bruce E. Название: Canada During the American Revolutionary War: Lieutenant Friedrich Julius Von Papet`s Journal of the Sea Voyage to North America and the Campaign Cond ISBN: 0788408577 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780788408571 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 22990.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This author enjoys a unique and pre-eminent position in the study of Hessian records of the American Revolution, having translated literally thousands of pages of the journals and writings of D hla, Prechtel, Waldeck, Pausch, Von Feilitsch, Bartholomai, Piel, Wiederhold, Rueffer, "J.R." Steuernagel, and many other Hessian soldiers. To this impressive list he now adds the writings of Lieutenant Friedrich Julius Von Papet, a young Brunswick officer whose journal spans the period from May of 1776 to October of 1783. "One of the most significant and important effects of the English employment of Hessians during the American Revolutionary War was the retention of English control of Canada. General John Burgoyne had taken most of the British] military strength from Canada for his command when he marched against the American colonists in 1777. However, even after France entered the war on the American side], the residents of that former French colony were not strong enough to openly resist the military control exercised by a small English and Hessian command. As a result, England retained Canada under the terms of the Treaty of Paris in 1783." Troops from Hesse-Cassel, Waldeck and Ansbach-Bayreuth were sent to Howe's command, as well as some troops from Hesse-Hanau and Anhalt-Zerbst, while troops from Hesse-Hanau, Brunswick and Anhalt-Zerbst provided the forces sent to Canada, together with some troops from Hesse-Cassel which were sent from New York to Canada later in the war. The Brunswick troops, numbering 4,300 men, sailed for America in two divisions, one departing in late March 1776, and the other, including Von Papet, departing on 31 May 1776, two weeks after the start of this journal. Von Papet was one of the Hessians (only 600+ officers and non-commissioned officers) who remained behind in Canada when John Burgoyne began his march against the American colonists in 1777. Though only twenty-one years old, Von Papet was assigned the important position of brigade major. Because he kept a diary throughout his English service (all the way up to his return march to Brunswick), we have a picture of the military, social and cultural life in Canada at that time. As a very young man in a very demanding position, Von Papet records the inner reactions among his superiors with a noteworthy caution and understanding not to let his position cause him harm. As there is a scarcity of information concerning military affairs in Canada during the American Revolution, Von Papet's journal provides much-needed insight into why Canada never became a very large fourteenth American colony.
Название: The Trade in Papers Marked with Non-Latin Characters / Le commerce des papiers a marques a caracteres non-latins: Documents and History / Documents et histoire ISBN: 9004357408 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004357402 Издательство: Brill Цена: 143450.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The nine contributions in The Trade in Papers Marked with non-Latin Characters initiated by Anne Regourd (ed.) approach global history through the paper trade. They cover, in addition to a paper used in 14th C Persia, papers used in Africa (Ethiopia, Nigeria, Tunisia) and Asia (the Ottoman Levant, Mecca, Persia, Russia, and Yemen) during the 19th-20th C. Primarily based on paper examination and quantitative data, the book invites us to treat papers as a source, and provides tools to determine the production of manuscripts in space and time for the area of interest. This methodology offers new insights on the competition between suppliers to the various markets particularly in respect of the emergence of import-export trading companies. Le commerce des papiers a marques a caracteres non-latins, dont Anne Regourd (ed.) est a l'initiative, a pour projet de traiter d'histoire globale par le commerce du papier. Les neuf contributions reunies ici font apparaitre un premier exemple de ce papier, persan, des le xive s. sous les Mo?affarides et, principalement, des papiers utilises en Afrique (Ethiopie, Nigeria, Tunisie) et en Asie (Levant ottoman, La Mecque, Perse, Russie et Yemen), aux xixe et xxe s. S'appuyant sur l'observation des papiers et des donnees quantitatives, le livre invite a prendre le support de l'ecrit comme source de l'histoire du commerce et donne des instruments pour determiner la production de manuscrits dans l'espace et le temps pour une aire definie. Cette methode renouvelle notre connaissance de l'approvisionnement des marches, avec, en particulier, l'apparition de compagnies d'import-export.
