Описание: Some of the most important weapon systems in U.S. history--deployed under Bill Middendorf's tenure as Secretary of the Navy (1974-1977)--contributed to the ending of the Cold War, including the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine fleet, Trident missiles, the Aegis Battle Managed Systems and the FA-18 warplane. Times have changed. NATO is no longer the cornerstone of European security and U.S. allies in the Pacific are not unified. Arguing for investment in cyber war, space war and AI technology, the author describes threats facing the U.S. as China seeks military superiority, Russia continues to build its nuclear arsenal, modernize its submarine force and expand its presence in the Arctic, North Korea expands its nuclear programs, and Iran foments violence in the Middle East.
Описание: Offers a detailed history of the Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile program, which has served as a powerful component of US nuclear strategies for over half a century. David Stumpf examines technological breakthroughs, and places the Minuteman program in context with world events.
Описание: Created during WWII by the War Department, the Handbook on Japanese Military Forces was intended to familiarize command staff with nearly every aspect of Tojo's war machine. Originally classified "restricted", the Handbook was created from the best intelligence that the OSS and other military information sources could offer. It contains comprehensive information and analysis of the Japanese military system, and includes chapters on recruitment and training, field organization, tactics and fortifications. It also contains a description of Japanese insignia, uniforms and equipment. This includes discussions of mechanized forces and weapons from small arms to mortars, artillery, vehicles and tanks, as well as naval and land-based aircraft. Additional chapters describe the Special Forces and Military Police. While some of the details within this book may bear review in light of history, it remains one of the most comprehensive compendiums of information about the Japanese forces ever assembled. Although it was declassified after WWII, it's never been easy to obtain a copy of this book. This high quality reprint includes all the original text, diagrams and photographs from the final October, 1944 edition.
