    This book contains the following titles: 
    - Tanks of the Eastern Front: The Eastern Front of World War II was a vast and brutal theater of combat that spanned thousands of miles, from the icy steppes of northern Russia to the warm plains of the Ukraine. It was here that some of the largest and most decisive battles of the war took place, involving millions of soldiers, tanks, and aircraft. The conflict between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union began in 1941 with the German invasion under Operation Barbarossa, and it would continue until the final Soviet assault on Berlin in 1945. This epic struggle not only shaped the outcome of the war but also fundamentally altered the future of Europe and the global balance of power. 
    - War on the Waves: The naval power wielded by the world’s great nations during World War II shaped not only the outcome of the conflict but also the geopolitical landscape for decades to come. Control of the seas became a decisive factor in determining the success or failure of military strategies and the fate of nations. This maritime struggle, fought on vast oceans and distant shores, was as much a war of technology, tactics, and intelligence as it was of sheer naval might. 
    - Blitzkrieg: The outbreak of World War II in 1939 heralded the arrival of a new era in military strategy, characterized by speed, surprise, and relentless coordination. At the heart of this revolution was Blitzkrieg, or "lightning warfare," a doctrine developed and executed primarily by Nazi Germany. Blitzkrieg was a military strategy that sought to overcome the static, trench-based warfare that had defined World War I. The tactics were designed to strike quickly and decisively, bypassing traditional defenses and causing maximum disruption. Its goal was not just to win battles but to create a psychological shock, overwhelming the enemy with rapid, coordinated strikes before they could mount a defense.

    The westward movement of Americans in the 19th century was one of the largest and most consequential migrations in history, and among the paths that blazed west, the most well-known is the Oregon Trail, which was not a single trail but a network of paths that began at one of four “jumping off” points. The eastern section of the Oregon Trail, which followed the Missouri River through Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming, was shared by people traveling along the California, Bozeman, and Mormon Trails. These trails branched off at various points, and the California Trail diverged from the Oregon Trail at Fort Hall in southern Idaho. From there, the Oregon Trail moved northward, along the Snake River, then through the Blue Mountains to Fort Walla Walla. From there, travelers would cross the prairie before reaching the Methodist mission at The Dalles, which roughly marked the end of the Trail. 	As many who used the Oregon Trail described in memoirs, the West represented opportunities for adventure, independence, and fortune, and fittingly, the ever popular game named after the Oregon Trail captures that mentality and spirit by requiring players to safely move a party west to the end of the trail. 
    	The most iconic of the major American pathways is the Appalachian Trail, which completes the “triple crown” of the national hiking experience. Covering a range from central Maine to Georgia at a distance of 2,193 miles, it is the longest of the three, following the crest of the Alleghenies and Blue Ridge Mountains through 14 states. All in all, it encompasses 465,000 feet in elevation and hosts three million visitors each year for at least a part of the total distance. On an annual basis, approximately 4,000 hikers begin a south to north trek beginning at Springer Mountain, Georgia, with the goal of hiking all the way to Maine. The northerly direction is greatly preferred because of the weather.
