楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p><strong>In <em>Baghdad: City of Peace, City of Blood</em>, celebrated young travelwriter-historian Justin Marozzi gives us a many-layered history of one of the world's truly great cities - both its spectacular golden ages and its terrible disasters</strong></p> <p>'Justin Marozzi is the most brilliant of the new generation of travelwriter-historians' - <em>Sunday Telegraph</em></p> <p>Over thirteen centuries, Baghdad has enjoyed both cultural and commercial pre-eminence, boasting artistic and intellectual sophistication and an economy once the envy of the world. It was here, in the time of the Caliphs, that the Thousand and One Nights were set. Yet it has also been a city of great hardships, beset by epidemics, famines, floods, and numerous foreign invasions which have brought terrible bloodshed. This is the history of its storytellers and its tyrants, of its philosophers and conquerors.</p> <p>Here, in the first new history of Baghdad in nearly 80 years, Justin Marozzi brings to life the whole tumultuous history of what was once the greatest capital on earth.</p> <p><strong>Justin Marozzi</strong> is a Councillor of the Royal Geographic Society and a Senior Research Fellow at Buckingham University. He has broadcast for BBC Radio Four, and regularly contributes to a wide range of publications, including the <em>Financial Times</em>, for which he has worked in Iraq, Afghanistan and Darfur. His previous books include the bestselling <em>Tamerlane: Sword of Islam</em>, a Sunday Telegraph Book of the Year (2004), and <em>The Man Who Invented History: Travels with Herodotus</em>.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Baghdad Railway Club【電子書籍】[ Andrew Martin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Baghdad 1917. Captain Jim Stringer, invalided from the Western Front, has been dispatched to investigate what looks like a nasty case of treason. He arrives to find a city on the point of insurrection, his cover apparently blown - and his only contact lying dead with flies in his eyes. As Baghdad swelters in a particularly torrid summer, the heat alone threatens the lives of the British soldiers who occupy the city. The recently ejected Turks are still a danger - and many of the local Arabs are none too friendly either.<br /> For Jim, who is not particularly good in warm weather, the situation grows pricklier by the day. Aside from his investigation, he is working on the railways around the city. His boss is the charming, enigmatic Lieutenant-Colonel Shepherd, who presides over the gracious dining society called The Baghdad Railway Club - and who may or may not be a Turkish agent. Jim's search for the truth brings him up against murderous violence in a heat-dazed, labyrinthine city where an enemy awaits around every corner.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Takedown The 3rd Infantry Division's Twenty-One Day Assault on Baghdad【電子書籍】[ James G. Lacey ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Over time the impression has grown that the 2003 invasion of Iraq met with little resistance and that, with few exceptions, the Iraqi army simply melted away. As this book clearly shows, nothing could be further from the truth. In its drive to capture Baghdad, the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division was in nearly constant combat for twenty-one days. While Americans were watching Saddam's statue being torn down on TV, a brigade of the 3rd ID was on the verge of being overrun by Iraqi Republican Guard units trying to escape north. Told to hold two bridges in his sector, a brigade commander had to blow up one of them because he did not have the combat power to hold it. The company commander holding the other bridge was so hard pressed that he called on the artillery to fire their final protective fires a command made only when a unit is in mortal danger and one that had not been given since Vietnam. Every one of the division's armored vehicles was hit by rockets some taking more than a dozen hits and the fighting was so fierce at times that entire battalions ran out of ammunition. Nevertheless, when the fighting was finally over, the 3rd ID had destroyed two Iraqi Regular Army divisions and three divisions of the much vaunted Republican Guard. Takedown tells the little-known story of what happened to the 3rd ID during its struggle to win Baghdad, a campaign that some call one of the most vicious in American military history. To offer this firsthand account, Jim Lacey, a former <em>Time</em> magazine reporter embedded with the 1st Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division, draws on extensive interviews that he conducted with the American soldiers involved as well as access to personal papers and war memoirs. This story is also enriched through his extensive use of interview transcripts of senior Iraqi army officers along with their personal written recollections. From the Kuwaiti border to the streets of Baghdad, these dramatic eyewitness descriptions of what went on give readers an accurate look at the brutal engagements in which the division fought for its life. In making use of such a wealth of primary source material, Lacey has succeeded in writing a fast paced narrative of the conflict, backed up by verifiable facts, that shows how modern wars are really fought.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean World From Constantinople to Baghdad, 500-1000 CE【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>During the period 500?1000 CE Egypt was successively part of the Byzantine, Persian and Islamic empires. All kinds of events, developments and processes occurred that would greatly affect its history and that of the eastern Mediterranean in general. This is the first volume to map Egypt's position in the Mediterranean during this period. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, the individual chapters detail its connections with imperial and scholarly centres, its role in cross-regional trade networks, and its participation in Mediterranean and Near Eastern cultural developments, including their impact on its own literary and material production. With unparalleled detail, the book tracks the mechanisms and structures through which Egypt connected politically, economically and culturally to the world surrounding it.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Dalla Montedison A Baghdad. Dal ginepraio della finanza alle eterne crisi del Medio Oriente【電子書籍】[ Lino Cardarelli ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>Sullo scenario dell’industria italiana del Novecento dominata dalle grandi dinastie degli Agnelli, dei Falck, dei Pirelli, degli Olivetti, solo per citare le pi? note, la figura di Lino Cardarelli si presenta senz’altro come una curiosa quanto eloquente anomalia. Figlio di un ferroviere, personalit? dall’eccezionale riserbo ma di adamantina determinazione, Cardarelli ? stato uno dei protagonisti in diverse delle vicende industriali e finanziarie in Italia tra gli anni Sessanta e Novanta, dalle esperienze in Agip, Olivetti, Hill & Knowlton e Snia Viscosa ai vertici di primarie banche internazionali (Gruppo Bnl, Bankers Trust) e soprattutto del Gruppo Montedison. Un talento manageriale innovativo prestato anche al servizio dello Stato, per la costituzione del Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti e per la ricostruzione dell’Iraq fra Baghdad, Kuwait City, Amman e Roma ai vertici dell’Unione per il Mediterraneo fra Barcellona e Bruxelles nella prima decade del terzo millennio.<br /> Ripercorrendo una vita condotta lontano dalle effimere notoriet? dei canali mediatici, l’autore si racconta ai nipoti in alcuni dei capitoli pi? importanti per la storia sulle eterne crisi del Medio Oriente, nel campo di tenzone tra pubblico e privato, tra progetti di crescita e trampolini per il potere nel contesto internazionale.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Faith at War A Journey on the Frontlines of Islam, from Baghdad to Timbuktu【電子書籍】[ Yaroslav Trofimov ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>An eye-opening political travelogue that reveals the Muslim world as never before</strong></p> <p>Drawing on reporting from more than a dozen Islamic countries, <em>Faith at War</em> offers an unforgettable portrait of the Muslim world after September 11. Choosing to invert the question of what "they" have done to "us," <em>Wall Street Journal</em> reporter Yaroslav Trofimov examines the unprecedented American intrusion in the Muslim heartland and the ripples it has caused far beyond the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. What emerges is a penetrating portrait of people, faith, and countries better known in caricature than reported detail. The ordinary Muslims, influential clerics, warlords, jihadis, intellectuals and heads of state we meet are engaged in conversations that reveal the Muslim world to us from a new, unexpected perspective.</p> <p>In Mali, one of the most successful democracies in Africa, we encounter Ousmane Madani Haidara, an influential cleric who sees Wahhabi extremists, rather than his country's secular government, as the real enemy of the true faith. In Saudi Arabia, we explore the bizarre world of exporting dead bodies from a kingdom that bars the burial of non-Muslims. On a US Navy aircraft carrier floating just off the coast of Pakistan in October 2001, we witness the mechanics of war: the onboard assembly of bombs that, hours later, are seen on T.V. exploding in Kabul. And in Iraq, we accompany Trofimov as he negotiates his escape from an insurgent mob, rides in a Humvee with trigger-happy GIs, and gets lectured by a Shiite holy man on why America is the foe of mankind.</p> <p>Whether exploring the badlands of the Sahara or a snow-covered village of Bosnian mujahedeen, <em>Faith at War</em> helps us understand the hidden relationships and often surprising connections, so crucial to America's future, that link the Islamic world to our own.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>“Magnificently chronicles four significant years in the emperor’s life . . . A splendid portrait [with] dazzling glimpses of Charlemagne’s life and times.” ー<em>Publishers Weekly</em> (starred review)</strong></p> <p>On Christmas morning in the year 800, Pope Leo III placed the crown of imperial Rome on the brow of a Germanic king named Karl. With one gesture, the man later hailed as Charlemagne claimed his empire and forever shaped the destiny of Europe. <em>Becoming Charlemagne</em> tells the story of the international power struggle that led to this world-changing event.</p> <p>“Illuminat[ing] the shadowy corners of an era shrouded in the mists of legend” (<em>Kirkus Reviews</em>), this far-ranging book shows how the Frankish king and his wise counselors built an empire not only through warfare but also by careful diplomacy. With consummate political skill, Charlemagne partnered with a scandal-ridden pope, fended off a ruthless Byzantine empress, nurtured Jewish communities in his empire, and fostered ties with a famous Islamic caliph. For 1,200 years, the deeds of Charlemagne captured the imagination of his descendants, inspiring kings and crusaders, the conquests of Napol?on and Hitler, and the optimistic architects of the European Union.</p> <p>Evoking a long-ago world of kings, caliphs, merchants, and monks, Jeff Sypeck crafts a vivid portrait of Karl, the ruler who became a legend, and transports readers beyond Europe to the glittering palaces of Constantinople and streets of medieval Baghdad, bringing alive an age of empire building that still resonates today.</p> <p>“Vibrant . . . an inspired, instantly readable work of popular history.” ー<em>Booklist</em></p> <p>“Describes in wonderful detail the Byzantine empire and Queen Irene, the Arab world of Harun al-Rashid, and the nation-state headed by Pope Leo III.” ー<em>Providence Journal</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Baghdad Bulletin Dispatches on the American Occupation【電子書籍】[ David Enders ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>"David Enders has a stunning independent streak and the courage to trust his own perceptions as he reports from outside the bubble Americans have created for themselves in Iraq."<br /> -Joe Sacco, author of <em>Safe Area Gorazde</em></p> <p>"<em>Baghdad Bulletin</em> takes us where mainstream news accounts do not go. Disrupting the easy clich?s that dominate U.S. journalism, Enders blows away the media fog of war. The result is a book that challenges Americans to see through double speak and reconsider the warfare being conducted in their names."<br /> -Norman Solomon, author of <em>War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death</em></p> <p>"Journalism at its finest and on a shoestring to boot. David Enders shows that courage and honesty can outshine big-budget mainstream media. Wry but self-critical, <em>Baghdad Bulletin</em> tells a story that a few of us experienced but every journalist, nay every citizen, should read."<br /> -Pratap Chatterjee, Managing Editor and Project Director, CorpWatch</p> <p>"Young and tenacious, Dave Enders went, saw, and wrote it down. Here it is-a well-informed and detailed tale of Iraq's decline under American rule. <em>Baghdad Bulletin</em> offers tragic politics, wacky people, and keen insights about what really matters on the ground in Iraq."<br /> -Christian Parenti</p> <p>"I wrote my first piece for <em>Baghdad Bulletin</em> after visiting the mass graves at Al-Hilla in 2003. The Baghdad Bulletin was essential reading in the first few months after the end of the war. I handed that particular copy to Prime Minister Tony Blair. I am only sorry that I cannot read it anymore. David Enders and his team were brave, enterprising, and idealistic."<br /> -Rt. Hon. Ann Clwyd, member of the British Parliament</p> <p><em>Baghdad Bulletin</em> is a street-level account of the war and turbulent postwar period as seen through the eyes of the young independent journalist David Enders. The book recounts Enders's story of his decision to go to Iraq, where he opened the only English-language newspaper completely written, printed, and distributed there during the war.</p> <p>Young, courageous, and anti-authoritarian, Enders is the first reporter to cover the war as experienced by ordinary Iraqis. Deprived of the press credentials that gave his embedded colleagues access to press conferences and officially sanitized information, Enders tells the story of a different war, outside the Green Zone. It is a story in which the struggle of everyday life is interspersed with moments of sheer terror and bizarre absurdity: wired American troops train their guns on terrified civilians; Iraqi musicians prepare a recital for Coalition officials who never show; traveling clowns wreak havoc in a Baghdad police station.</p> <p>Orphans and intellectuals, activists and insurgents: <em>Baghdad Bulletin</em> depicts the unseen complexity of Iraqi society and gives us a powerful glimpse of a new kind of warfare, one that coexists with-and sometimes tragically veers into-the everyday rhythms of life.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Iraqi Perspectives Project: A View of Operation Iraqi Freedom from Saddam's Senior Leadership - Hussein's Distorted Worldview, Desert Storm, Regime Prepares for War, Baghdad Bob, Final Days【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) overthrew Saddam's regime and opened up one of the world's most secretive governments to outside analysis, presenting a once-in-a-generation opportunity for military leaders and historians to delve deep into the decision-making processes of a former adversary. For the first time since a similar project at the end of World War II, we have an opportunity to evaluate military events from not only our own vantage point but also from the perspective of the opposing political and military leadership.</p> <p>Admiral Edmund P. Giambastiani originated this vital and interesting work when he was Commander, United States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM). As part of a major effort to ensure we fully understood the lessons of OIF, he commissioned a comprehensive analysis of US strengths and weaknesses. This first-of-its-kind venture was led by Brigadier General Robert W. Cone, the then-Director of USJFCOM's Joint Center for Operational Analysis and Lessons Learned (JCOA). Almost as soon as this effort got underway in the spring of 2003, Admiral Giambastiani realized that the study would not be complete unless information about what drove the Iraqis to make the decisions they did was fully integrated into the analysis.</p> <p>To accomplish this, project leader Kevin Woods led a small team of professionals in a systematic two-year study of the former Iraqi regime and military. This book is the first major product of that effort. It presents a comprehensive historical analysis of the forces and motivations that drove our opponent's decisions through dozens of interviews with senior Iraqi military and political leaders and by making extensive use of thousands of official Iraqi documents. Kevin and his team have crafted a substantive examination of Saddam Hussein's leadership and its effect on the Iraqi military decision-making process. Moreover, it goes a long way towards revealing the inner workings of a closed regime from the insiders' point of view. Presented herein is crucial information currently missing from still ongoing analyses of OIF, and much of its content will counter currently accepted wisdom.</p> <p>Iraqi Perspectives Project: A View of Operation Iraqi Freedom from Saddam's Senior Leadership * Chapter I - The Nature of the Regime * Chapter II - Skewed Strategy * Chapter III - Military Effectiveness * Chapter IV - Crippled Operational Planning * Chapter V - The Regime Prepares for War * Chapter VI - Doomed Execution</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here Poets and Writers Respond to the March 5th, 2007, Bombing of Baghdad's "Street of the Booksellers"【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>On March 5th, 2007, a car bomb was exploded on al-Mutanabbi Street in Baghdad. More than thirty people were killed and more than one hundred were wounded. This locale is the historic center of Baghdad bookselling, a winding street filled with bookstores and outdoor book stalls. Named after the famed 10th century classical Arab poet al-Mutanabbi, it has been the heart and soul of the Baghdad literary and intellectual community. This anthology begins with a historical introduction to al-Mutanabbi Street and includes the writing of Iraqis as well as a wide swath of international poets and writers who were outraged by this attack.</p> <p>This book seeks to show where al-Mutanabbi Street starts in all of us: personally, in our communities, and in our nations. It seeks to show the commonality between this small street in Baghdad and our own cultural centers, and why this attack was an attack on us all. This anthology sees al-Mutanabbi Street as a place for the free exchange of ideas; a place that has long offered its sanctuary to the complete spectrum of Iraqi voices. This is where the roots of democracy (in the best sense of that word) took hold many hundreds of years ago. This anthology looks toward al-Mutanabbi Street as an affirmation of all that we hope for in a more just society.</p> <p>Contributors include: Beau Beausoleil, Musa al-Musawi, Anthony Shadid, Mousa al-Naseri, Naomi Shihab Nye, Deena Metzger, Sam Hamod, Lutfiya Al-Dulaimi, Zaid Shlah, Persis Karim, Ayub Nuri, Marian Haddad, Sarah Browning, Eileen Grace O’Malley Callahan, Roger Sederat, Elline Lipkin, Esther Kamkar, Robert Perry, Gloria Collins, Brian Turner, Gloria Frym, Owen Hill, Abd al-Rahim, Salih al-Rahim, Yassin “The Narcicyst” Alsalman, Jose Luis Gutierrez, Sargon Boulus, Peter Money, Sinan Antoon, Muhammad al-Hamrani, Livia Soto, Janet Sternburg, Sam Hamill, Salah Al-Hamdani, Gail Sher, Dunya Mikhail, Irada Al Jabbouri, Dilara Cirit, Niamh MacFionnlaoich, Erica Goss, Daisy Zamora, George Evans, Steve Dickison, Maysoon Pachachi, Summer Brenner, Jen Hofer, Rijin Sahakian, Badr Shakir al-Sayyab, Jane Hirshfield, Jack Marshall, Susan Moon, Diana di Prima, Evelyn So, Nahrain Al-Mousawi, Ko Un, Joe Lamb, Katrina Rodabaugh, Mohammed Hayawi, Nazik Al-Malaika, Raya Asee, Gazar Hantoosh, Mark Abley, Majid Naficy, Lewis Buzbee, Ibn al-Utri, Thomas Christensen, Amy Gerstler, Genny Lim, Saadi Youssef, Judith Lyn Suttton, Josh Kun, Dana Teen Lomax, Etel Adnan, Bushra Al-Bustani, Marilyn Hacker, Richard Harrison, Fady Joudah, Philip Metres, Hayan Charara, Annie Finch, Kazim Ali, Deema K.

The Fighting 69th From Ground Zero to Baghdad【電子書籍】[ Sean Michael Flynn ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>One of the most celebrated units in the military for more than a century, by 1990, New York City's Fighting 69th Infantry Regiment of the Army National Guard was scarcely fit for duty. Its equipment was derelict, its discipline nonexistent, many of its leaders inept, and its ranks filled with kids barely out of high school who had little intention of serving their country for any longer than it took to get their paycheck, college credit, or job training. Then came the attacks of September 11 and the invasion of Iraq. In <em>The Fighting 69th</em>, Sean Michael Flynn, himself a member of the unit, chronicles the extraordinary transformation of this band of amateur soldiers into a battle-hardened troop at one of the most lethal sites of war.</p> <p>Watch a Video</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

My Mother's Spice Cupboard A Journey from Baghdad to Bombay to Bondi【電子書籍】[ Elana Benjamin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>***My Mother's Spice Cupboard***is the true story of the author's Sephardi Jewish family's migration from Baghdad to Bombay (now Mumbai) to Sydney. Unlike most other Australian Jews, her parents were born and grew up in Bombay, and her grandparents came from Iraq, Burma and India. Her father's family immigrated to Sydney, her mother's to Los Angeles, both in the 1960s. They married in Sydney and raised their family there, alongside the father's many brothers and sisters and members of their former Bombay community. Despite being Jewish, her upbringing was greatly influenced by the food, language and culture of India, and to a lesser extent, Iraq.</p> <p>***My Mother's Spice Cupboard***is the story of what happened to a community which no longer exists, how its members built new lives in a different country, and what it was like to grow up as one of their children. It's also about how much things have changed over four generations in one family. The author's grandparents' arranged marriage produced nine children; both her parents grew up within the confines of Bombay's insular Baghdadi Jewish community whereas she grew up as a first generation Australian in Sydney. Her children's lives are underpinned by the differing Jewish traditions of her family and her husband's family.</p> <p>The themes underlying the story are those of family and community versus individuality; choice versus obligation; and tradition versus modernity. And underlying the entire narrative is the importance of food and cooking, which goes beyond the mere provision of sustenance to express warmth, love and hospitality.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Grit to Glory A Green Beret's Journey from West Virginia to the Streets of Baghdad【電子書籍】[ Darrell Utt ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Elite success is not reserved for a select few. It's open to anyone willing to put in the work and strive for greatness. When Darrell Utt set his sights on joining the legendary Green Berets, he could never have anticipated the journey that would take him from the rugged woods of West Virginia to the heart of Baghdad during one of the deadliest periods of the war in Iraq. In his hard-hitting memoir, Grit to Glory, follow Darrell through the treacherous streets of Baghdad during his 2006 rotation as the team sergeant of ODA 043. With brutal honesty, humility, and a dark sense of humor, he recounts eight months of unconventional warfare and life-altering experiences in vivid detail. In this action-packed account, Grit to Glory reveals the raw reality of combat, exposing the delicate interplay between American soldiers and their Iraqi counterparts as they faced the complexities of sectarian violence that bloodied the streets of Baghdad. From luring a known terrorist on a fake blind date to chasing ski-masked assailants to gathering intel for a hostage rescue from unlikely sources, Darrell's unconventional mind, relentless determination, and practical strategies highlight the ingenuity and bravery of his award-winning team of Special Forces operators as they confronted Baghdad's lethal environment with unyielding ferocity. But Darrell's story does not only showcase victory and success. He candidly opens up about his humble beginnings in West Virginia, where he developed the grit and tenacity to overcome adversity and fulfill his dream of joining the elite Green Berets. His story stands as a powerful testament that no matter where you come from, bold action and relentless pursuit of your goals can lead to extraordinary achievements. In Grit to Glory, Darrell Utt reveals the essence of the Green Berets' triumph: grit. The eight principles he outlines in his Grit Code offer a rugged blueprint for overcoming life's toughest challenges with resilience, determination, and an unshakeable commitment to excellence. War and life are unforgiving businessesーand only those who are driven by an insatiable hunger for victory can endure and prevail.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
