The Problem Of War And Its Solution (1922) John E. Grant Книга по Требованию

Легко упустить из виду, что в большинстве случаев войны не происходит. По всему миру существуют миллионы враждебных соперничеств, но лишь незначительная их часть выливается в насилие. Используя нелогичный подход, в своей книге "Почему мы сражаемся. Корни войны и пути к миру" Блаттман напоминает нам, что большинство соперников спокойно ненавидят друг друга. Это потому, что война обходится слишком дорого. Враги почти всегда считают, что лучше разделить пирог пополам, чем портить его или бороться за тонкие ломтики. Итак, в тех редких случаях, когда завязывалась борьба, что удерживало соперников от компромисса? • Книга на английском языке • Based on two decades of research, the five causes of wars and four ways to stop them • It's easy to overlook that most of the time, war doesn't happen

A masterpiece of historical fiction - the beginning of the great story of America's Greatest Generation • Like no other books about World War II, Wouk's spellbinding series captures the tide of global events - the drama, the romance, the heroism and the tragedy of the war - as it imerses us in the lives of a single American family drawn into the very centre of the war's maelstrom • Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of World War II, which begins with The Winds of War and continues in War and Rememberance, stands as the crowing achievement of one of America's most celebrated storytellers

His goal: to unseat Pompey, now dictator of the Empire • But waging war on your own people is never easy. And even after the city itself is taken and Julius, Brutus, Mark Antony and Octavian re-enter in triumph, there are many battles left to fight. For across the Empire – in Spain, Africa, Greece, across Asia Minor – there are legions loyal to Pompey. How will Caesar prevail?

The Art of War - is an ancient Chinese military treatise attributed to Sun Tzu, a high-ranking military general, strategist and tactician, and kindred to the Realpolitik of his time, termed in China as Legalism. The text is composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare. It is commonly thought of as a definitive work on military strategy and tactics. It has been the most famous and influential of China's Seven Military Classics, and "for the last two thousand years it remained the most important military treatise in Asia, where even the common people knew it by name." It has had an influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond

The making of Elvis, behind the scenes • "Elvis who?" was photographer Alfred Wertheimer's response when, in early 1956, an RCA Victor publicist asked him to photograph an up-and-coming crooner from Memphis. Little did Wertheimer know that this would be the job of his life: just 21 years old, Elvis Presley was-as we now know-about to become a legend • Trailing Presley like a shadow, Wertheimer took nearly 3,000 photographs of Presley that year, creating a penetrating portrait of a man poised on the brink of superstardom. Extraordinary in its intimacy and unparalleled in its scope, Wertheimer's Elvis project immortalized a young man in the very process of making history • Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll collects Wertheimer's most remarkable Elvis shots from that magical year, along with a selection of his historic 1958 pictures of the star being shipped off to an army base in Germany
