Beschreibung

"Having received my commission, which was dated the S5th of May, I768, I went on board on the 7th, hoisted the pennant, and took charge of the sliip, which then lay in the basin in Deptford Yard." - this is the beginning of the journal in which the legendary captain and discoverer of Australia and New Zealand described his adventures. The book contains the descriptions of the three voyages of Captain Cook, which resulted in the complete round-the-world expedition. Captain and his team were the first Europeans to meet the indigenous people of Australia and Oceania. Captain Cook took a great interest in the locals' style of life and customs. Thus, the book doesn't just present an account of one of the most daring sea expeditions in history but also impressions of the pioneering encounter of seamen with the people of unknown races.

    General George S. Patton was one of the most influential military leaders of the 20th century, his name forever linked with boldness, aggression, and relentless pursuit of victory. His legacy as a tactical genius in World War II is undisputed, particularly for his innovative strategies and dynamic leadership during key campaigns in Europe. Patton’s approach to warfare, characterized by rapid movement, audacity, and the application of psychological warfare, was a departure from traditional military doctrine and left an indelible mark on modern military tactics. 
      
    Patton’s leadership was grounded in his deep understanding of warfare, which was built upon a combination of formal training, historical knowledge, and an innate sense of battlefield dynamics. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he believed in the power of initiative, often taking risks to strike the enemy when and where they least expected it. His emphasis on speed and maneuverability — particularly through the use of tanks and combined arms tactics — allowed his forces to outpace and outflank the enemy, creating chaos and forcing decisive confrontations on his terms. This ability to maintain the initiative and exploit weaknesses in enemy lines was a hallmark of Patton's genius.

    The Airborne Mafia explores how a small group of World War II airborne officers took control of the US Army after World War II. This powerful cadre cemented a unique airborne culture that had an unprecedented impact on the Cold War US Army and beyond. 
     
     
     
    Robert F. Williams reveals the trials and tribulations this group of officers faced in order to bring about their vision. He spotlights the relationship between organizational culture, operational behavior, and institutional change in the United States Army during the Cold War, showing that as airborne officers ascended to the highest ranks of the army they transmitted their culture throughout their service in four major ways—civil-military relations, preparation for potential atomic combat, helicopter airmobility, and strategic response forces. 
     
     
     
    Experiences of training and commanding airborne divisions in World War II led these men to hold sway in army doctrine by the mid-1950s. Dominating institutional thought and imparting their values, beliefs, and norms throughout the service they enjoyed a special privilege within the group culture. Williams demonstrates this impact, privilege, and power by focusing on the paratrooper triumvirate of Matthew Ridgway, Maxwell Taylor, and James Gavin and the lasting impression they made on how the US Army fought.
