Sinopse

In "The Story of the Malakand Field Force: An Episode of Frontier War," Winston Churchill delivers a vivid narrative chronicling the 1897 military campaign in British India's North-West Frontier Province. The book is marked by Churchill's distinctive literary style, intertwining personal anecdotes with meticulous historical detail, showcasing both the brutal realities of warfare and the unique cultural dynamics of the region. The author's rich descriptions and dramatic prose bring to life the challenges faced by the British forces, revealing the complexities of colonial engagements and the fierce resilience of the local tribes. This work is not only a military report but also a poignant reflection on imperialism in a tumultuous era. Sir Winston Churchill, best known as a statesman and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War II, was also a prolific writer and historian. His early experiences as a war correspondent in South Africa and his adventurous spirit significantly influenced his perspectives on warfare. His firsthand observations during the Malakand campaign offer unique insights into the psychological and logistical dimensions of military strategy, while also reflecting his views on the moral imperatives of leadership. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in military history, colonial studies, or Churchill's formative years. It offers both a thrilling account of a lesser-known conflict and a sophisticated analysis of the interplay between culture and conflict, making it an essential addition to the library of enthusiasts and scholars alike.

    Children’s future successes depend on developing the abilities to innovate, be resilient in the face of their mistakes, problem-solve creatively, and collaborate with peers effectively. However, standard American educational practices—stressing memorization, grades, and testing—are failing to foster these skills. There is one complete system of education that effectively supports the natural development of such essential abilities: Montessori. Montessori education expert Paula Lillard Preschlack offers a clear explanation of how the Montessori approach helps children. By looking closely at authentic Montessori practices, she shows the tight correlation between the Montessori system in action and children practicing and strengthening the very traits they will need for adulthood.

    The P-38 Lightning was one of the fastest operational fighters of World War II, famous for its successes in North Africa and the Pacific. In The P-38 Lightning and the Men Who Flew It, Wolfgang W. E. Samuel shares the stories of the young men who climbed into the cockpits of the P-38 to fight for freedom, and of those who created, tested, and deployed these fearsome machines. 
     
     
     
    The P-38 was the product of the Lockheed Corporation, the first fighter they ever built, principally conceptualized by Kelly Johnson, whose design was to meet Air Corps specifications. But it was no easy plane to fly. 
     
     
     
    P-38 units were formed quickly once the United States entered World War II in December 1941. Training was rushed to get pilots and planes to Europe as quickly as possible to serve as bomber escorts. Although the P-38 could fly at the high altitudes the bombers flew, it was not the right aircraft for the mission. In North Africa's warmer air, however, the P-38 came into its own. 
     
     
     
    This book focuses on the men who flew this challenging aircraft and the men who designed and decided how to deploy it. In the Pacific skies, the P-38, its pilots, and designers made the heroic history captured here.
