Sinossi

In "Combat Lessons, No. 1: Rank and File in Combat: What They Are Doing, How They Do It," the United States War Department presents a meticulously detailed examination of the experiences and behaviors of soldiers in combat situations. This instructional volume is characterized by its practical literary style, blending military jargon with accessible language to ensure clarity for its intended audience'Äîmilitary personnel and strategists. The content is informed by firsthand accounts from the frontlines, offering invaluable insights into the tactical and psychological challenges faced by soldiers. Such a focus on the 'rank and file' positions this work within a broader historical context, highlighting the evolution of military training and the necessity of understanding individual soldier experiences in modern warfare. The author, the United States War Department, reflects the institutional commitment to enhancing combat readiness and soldier welfare during a period marked by both World Wars and multiple conflicts. The creation of this manual stemmed from the need to address the complexities of battlefield dynamics and the importance of collective morale and operational efficiency. By drawing on comprehensive data and real-life observations, the War Department aims to formalize knowledge gained in the heat of combat. This book is essential for military historians, strategists, and military personnel seeking to grasp the intricacies of the soldier's role within the larger framework of combat. Its pragmatic insights and firsthand accounts offer readers not only an understanding of what soldiers endure but also the strategies they employ, making it a fundamental resource for those studying military dynamics or preparing for active duty.

    How to Say No - An Ancient Guide...

    The Cynics were ancient Greek philosophers who stood athwart the flood of society's material excess, unexamined conventions, and even norms of politeness and thundered "No!" Diogenes, the most famous Cynic, wasn't shy about literally extending his middle finger to the world. When asked why he was called Diogenes the Dog, he replied "because I fawn on those who give, I bark at those who don't, and I bite scoundrels." How to Say No is a delightful collection of brief ancient writings about Cynicism that captures all the outrageousness, wit, and wisdom of its remarkable cast of characters—from Diogenes in the fourth century BCE to the column-stander Symeon Stylites in late antiquity. 
     
     
     
    With their "less is more" approach to life, the Cynics speak urgently to our world of climate change, economic uncertainty, and psychic malaise. Although the Cynics weren't writers, their memorable utterances and behavior were recorded by their admirers and detractors, and M. D. Usher offers fresh new translations of appealing selections from this body of writing—ranging from street sermons and repartee to biography and snapshots of Cynics in action. 
     
     
     
    Complete with introductions to the volume, this lively book demonstrates why the Cynics still retain their power to surprise us and make us laugh—and to make us think and question how we live.

    An astonishing investigation into the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war – from the corridors of the Kremlin to the trenches of Mariupol. 
    The Russo-Ukrainian War is the most serious geopolitical crisis since the Second World War – and yet at the heart of the conflict is a mystery. Vladimir Putin apparently lurched from a calculating, subtle master of opportunity to a reckless gambler, putting his regime – and Russia itself – at risk of destruction. Why? 
    Drawing on over 25 years’ experience as a correspondent in Moscow, as well as his own family ties to Russia and Ukraine, journalist Owen Matthews takes us through the poisoned historical roots of the conflict, into the Covid bubble where Putin conceived his invasion plans in a fog of paranoia about Western threats, and finally into the inner circle around Ukrainian president and unexpected war hero Volodimir Zelensky. 
    Using the accounts of current and former insiders from the Kremlin and its propaganda machine, the testimony of captured Russian soldiers and on-the-ground reporting from Russia and Ukraine, Overreach tells the story not only of the war’s causes but how the first six months unfolded. 
    With its panoramic view, Overreach is an authoritative, unmissable record of a conflict that shocked Europe to its core. 
    In Overreach, Owen Matthews masterfully unravels the complex tapestry of history, geopolitics, and conflicts that have defined the Soviet Union. This top-tier work is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the wars and crimes that have shaped our world. 
    For fans of Simon Scarrow (The Honour of Rome), Antony Beevor (Russia), Bill Browder (Orden de embargo. Una historia real de blanqueo de dinero, asesinatos y...), Mark Galeotti (Russia’s Wars in Chechnya), and Robert Peston (WTF?).

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BCE) was one of the most influential figures in late republican Rome, a moment of great social, political, and cultural unrest that would lead to the transition from republic to empire. Cicero was a statesman who held the highest political office, the consulship, and then suffered politically motivated exile. His career was grounded in his continued success as an orator: his speeches were famous during his lifetime and, together with his rhetorical treatises, shaped the practice and theory of public speaking for centuries to come. His ideas influenced early church fathers, Renaissance humanists, and Enlightenment thinkers and his dramatic death captured imagination of his contemporaries, who saw it as standing for the death of the republic and eloquence.In this Very Short Introduction, Yelena Baraz presents a concise and integrated account of Cicero's life and accomplishments, locating him within the political and intellectual contexts of his time. It shows that in all his pursuits Cicero saw himself as a mediating figure: between theory and practice, philosophy and politics, Greek and Roman, and among political interest groups. Baraz tackles each area of Cicero's activity on its own terms while showing how overarching ideas and priorities permeate the apparently separate endeavors.

    World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in France from 16 December 1944 to 25 January 1945. 
    In his political testament Mein Kampf ("My Struggle") Adolf Hitler wrote, "Strength lies not in defense but in attack." Throughout World War II, attempts to gain or regain the initiative had characterized Hitler's influence on military operations. Thus, when the military situation in late 1944 looked darkest on the Western Front, an enemy offensive to redress the balance on the battlefield—and thereby cripple or delay the Allied advance—should have come as no surprise.
    Hitler's great gamble began during the nights of 13, 14, and 15 December, when the initial assault force of German armor, artillery, and infantry gradually staged forward to attack positions along the Belgian-German-Luxembourg border. This mustered force, with more than 200,000 men in thirteen infantry and seven panzer divisions and with nearly 1,000 tanks and almost 2,000 guns, deployed along a front of 60 miles—its operational armor holdings equaling that on the entire Eastern Front. Five more divisions moved forward in a second wave, while still others, equipped with at least 450 more tanks, followed in reserve.
    On the Allied side the threatened American sector appeared quiet. The 15 December daily situation report for the VIII Corps, which lay in the path of two of Hitler's armies, noted: "There is nothing to report." This illusion would soon be shattered.
