Summary

"Russian Winter" examines the critical role of Russia's harsh climate in determining the outcomes of military campaigns, particularly Napoleon's invasion of 1812 and Nazi Germany's assault during World War II. The book meticulously analyzes how the severe winter conditions acted as a formidable, often decisive, ally for the Russian forces. It highlights the meteorological realities faced by invading armies, contrasting them with historical climate norms to reveal the true extent of the environmental challenge. Logistical nightmares induced by frozen supply lines and crippled equipment are also explored, demonstrating how the climate amplified strategic weaknesses.

 
The book delves into the psychological toll exacted by the relentless cold, hunger, and disease on invading soldiers, drawing comparisons between the experiences of Napoleon's Grande Armée and the Wehrmacht. By integrating environmental history with military history, "Russian Winter" offers a unique perspective on well-known events.

 
The book progresses from establishing a climatological baseline to analyzing logistical challenges and the human impact of the winter, ultimately demonstrating how the Russian climate consistently undermined invaders' strengths, contributing significantly to their defeat on the Eastern Front.

    The Big Change - America...

    During the first fifty years of the twentieth century, the United States saw two world wars, a devastating economic depression, and more social, political, and economic changes than in any other five-decade period before. Frederick Lewis Allen, former editor of Harper's Magazine, recounts these years—spanning World War I, the Progressive Era, the Great Depression, World War II, and the early Cold War—in vivid detail, from the fashions and customs of the times to major events that changed the course of history. 
 
 
  
Politically, the United States grew into its own as a global superpower during these years, even as domestic developments altered the everyday lives of its citizens. The introduction of the automobile, mass production, and organized labor changed the way Americans lived and worked, while innovations like penicillin and government regulation of food safety contributed to an increase in average life expectancy from forty-nine years in 1900 to sixty-eight years in 1950. With the development of a strong, centralized government, a thriving middle class, and widespread economic prosperity, the nation emerged from the Second World War transformed in virtually every way. 
 
 
  
Richly informative, The Big Change is an indispensable volume charting the many changes that ushered in our contemporary age.

Over a vast period of time men have plotted for control over other men. Using religion, politics and secret societies they have manipulated history itself. 
 
Thousands have built vast fortunes and special families become entrenched as the power brokers with authority placed into the hands of a few. 
 
Their plan was written down in code, cipher and symbolism thousands of years ago. We will examine their special language in-order to uncover the truth. From the special names to the special numbers, a secret lies hidden and waiting. 
 
We will reveal the significance of the number of the beast and see the truth behind their religious symbols such as the cross and tree and through these see the beast for what it truly is. We will know the one that shall follow. The one they call the anti-Christ, and we shall be amazed. Never in the history of mankind, until now, was it possible to deliver this beast upon the earth.
