Flight of Eagles - The Saga of Russian Aviation

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

Journey through the captivating history of Russian aviation, from its humble beginnings to its status as a global powerhouse.

In this comprehensive and engaging narrative, we delve into the remarkable feats of Russian aviators, from the early pioneers who took to the skies in rickety aircraft to the cosmonauts who ventured into the vastness of space. We witness the birth of the Soviet aviation industry, a colossus that produced countless aircraft, both for military and civilian use, and played a pivotal role in the nation's victory in World War II. We trace the development of iconic aircraft such as the MiG fighter jets, the Tupolev bombers, and the Antonov cargo planes, marvels of engineering that showcased the ingenuity and determination of Soviet engineers.

Beyond the realm of military and technological achievements, we explore the profound impact that aviation has had on Russian culture and society. We trace the representation of aviation in literature, art, and film, and examine the ways in which it has shaped Russian identity and aspirations. We also investigate the challenges and opportunities that Russian aviation faces in the 21st century, from the need for modernization and innovation to the imperative of sustainability in an era of climate change.

With vivid storytelling and meticulous research, this book brings to life the extraordinary stories of Russian aviators, engineers, and visionaries who have shaped the course of aviation history. It is a testament to the human spirit of innovation, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of the skies.

Anzio Nettuno - A Battle of...

Linden Lyons, Jörg Staiger

"...an excellent primer about the operations in and around the Anzio beachhead. Students of operational art, multinational operations, and amphibious warfare will find Staiger’s narrative interesting and thought-provoking." — Military Review

The Allied amphibious operation codenamed Shingle was launched in late January 1944. It was opposed by German forces in the area of Anzio and Nettuno. Success depended on the element of surprise, and the speed with which the invaders could build up strength and move inland. This was understood by General Mark Clark, commander of the US Fifth Army, but not fully understood by his subordinate commanders.

This German account focuses on the landing at Anzio as it was the only one that failed to achieve its objective of smashing the German defense and achieving operational freedom of movement. The battle lasted over six weeks, with mistakes made by leadership on both sides, and consequently also great sacrifice by soldiers on both sides. But the operation was not a German success either, and attempts to prevent the creation of a strong bridgehead failed. Ultimately the Allies would reach Rome, and the Allies applied lessons from this battle to facilitate the success of Overlord, launched five months later.

While not complete, as the author did not have access to some of the war diaries of higher levels of German command, this is still one of the best German accounts of Operation Shingle and is here translated into English for the first time.

By the Side of the Road - The...

Marla Bernard

The true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of a Missouri teen and her family’s journey to justice. In the early hours of March 22, 1989, two friends—career criminals with violent felony convictions—drove around the eastern Kansas City area in a stolen car committing a series of crimes. The weather was mild for late March in Kansas City; the sky was clear, and there was the pale remnant of a Full Moon that bore the dubious name of Death Moon, the last full moon of winter. A little before 7 a.m., fifteen-year-old Ann Harrison walked to the end of her driveway on Kansas City’s east side to wait for the bus to take her to Raytown South High School. Ten minutes later, she disappeared but no one saw what happened. As if waiting for her return, her belongings were still stacked carefully by the side of the road.By the Side of the Road is the true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Ann Harrison and the long journey forced upon her family who had to wait nearly three decades to see her killers brought to final justice.

How Polarization Begets...

Samuel Merrill III, Thomas L....

Extreme polarization in American politics is perhaps the most confounding political phenomenon of our time. This book binds together polarization in Congress and polarization in the electorate within an ever-expanding feedback loop. This loop is powered by the discipline exerted by the respective political parties on their Congressional members and district candidates and endorsed by the voters in each Congressional district who must choose between the alternatives offered. Tight national party discipline produces party delegations in Congress that are widely separated from one another but each ideologically narrowly distributed. 
 
 
 
As district constituencies become more polarized and are egged on by activists, parties are further motivated to appeal to their respective bases rather than to voters in the ideological center. America has indeed acquired parties with clear platforms—once thought to be a desirable goal—but these parties are now feuding camps. What resolution might there be? Just as the progressive movement slowly replaced the Gilded Age, might a new reform effort replace the current squabble? Or could an asymmetry develop in the partisan constraints that would lead to ascendancy of the center, or might a new and over-riding issue generate a cross-cutting dimension, opening the door to a new politics? Only the future will tell.
