楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>WWII Notebook & Letters by James C. Hinkle, transcribed verbatim by Dallas Ann H. Erwood, starts in August 1943 with the notebook in which he records his thoughts while on a troop transport to North Africa. Letters home to his family start in September '43 and continue through December 1945, including the Anzio letter dated June 28, 1944, describing his participation in the epic battle as "the most dramatic hours of my life." The rest of '44 and all of '45 he writes about his recovery, his nurse Dallas Fellersen, his fellow soldiers and his experiences in Europe. Physically limited due to his wound at Anzio, he's assigned a rear echelon position collecting information, updating an enormous map showing the current status of the various battles and fronts, writing a report every day to be passed up the chain of command and giving a 15-minute report to the camp regarding the latest news. He also runs the school for soldiers in transit looking to learn a language or whatever he can find for anybody to learn.</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。 1,098円

The Influence of Maritime Theorists on the Development of German Naval Strategy from 1930 to 1936: Mahan, Corbett, Remnants of Weimar Republic, Rise of Adolph Hitler, World War I End, WWII Lead-up【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this unique book examined the extent that the theories of Mahan and Corbett influenced the development of German Naval Strategy between 1930 and 1936. The period includes the remnants of the Weimar Republic, the ascension of Adolf Hitler, and the signing of the Anglo-German Naval agreement in 1935, and finally the first of naval developments after the treaty.</p> <p>At the end of World War I, and upon the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the German Armed Forces had been drastically reduced by the Allies. The German Navy was stripped of its battleships, submarines, and aircraft. The effort to rebuild began immediately following the war. The decision about what direction and shape the Navy would take was influenced by several factors. The German Navy's anticipated enemy, the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, and the political situation all played a part in the development of the post-World War I German Navy. At least as important as any of these factors was the influence of two prominent naval theorists, A.T. Mahan, and Sir Julian Corbett.</p> <p>CHAPTER 1 * INTRODUCTION * Secondary Questions * Definitions * Limitations * CHAPTER 2 * LITERATURE REVIEW * Mahan * Corbett * Biographies * War Records * Translations * Conclusion * CHAPTER 3 * THE FOUNDATIONS OF GERMAN NAVAL STRATEGY * Introduction * CHAPTER 4 * A GERMAN MAHANIAN NAVY * Rearmament * Great Britain * CHAPTER 5 * CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS * Conclusions * Relevance * Further Study * APPENDIX A * TRANSLATION OF "DIE REICHSMARINE UND DIE REPUBLIK" * APPENDIX B * TRANSLATION OF THE NAVY AND NATIONAL DEFENSE, 1919-1928, CHAPTER 2, SECTION I * BIBLIOGRAPHY</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。 524円

They elevated Bomber Command - initially the only part of the Allied war effort capable of attacking the heart of Nazi Germany - from an impotent force on the cusp of disintegration in 1942 to one capable of razing whole German cities to the ground in a single night, striking with devastating accuracy, inspiring fear and loathing in Hitler's senior command.</p> <p>With exclusive interviews with remaining survivors, personal diaries, previously classified records and never-before seen photographs, <em>The Pathfinders</em> brings to life the characters of the airmen and women - many barely out of their teens - who took to the skies in legendary British aircraft such as the Lancaster and the Mosquito, facing almost unimaginable levels of violence from enemy fighter planes to strike at the heart of the Nazi war machine.</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。 2,264円

Duties Of People Towards The Imam【電子書籍】[ Ayatullah Sayyid Taqi Musawi Isfahani ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This is obligatory according to texts (Quran and Hadith), and reason.</p> <p>Rational Proof: The Imam of the Time (aj) is a guide and a leader whose obedience is compulsory and it is necessary to recognize correctly one whose obedience is compulsory. So that if someone lays a false claim to be that leader, he can be exposed at once and we shall not be misguided by his false propaganda. Thus the recognition (Marefat) of the Imam of the Time (aj) is obligatory and it is also obligatory to learn about his special characteristics so that if a false claimant of Mahdaviyat appears we can, at once, realize his falsehood. Further details will come in the coming pages, Insha Allah.</p> <p>Textual Proof: Shaykh Sadooq (r.a.) has recorded a tradition of Imam Musa Kazim (a) that he said, “One who doubts about four things has denied everything revealed by Allah. One of these being the Marefat of the Imam of age.”</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。 1,291円

Anderson, U.S. Army (Ret.)</strong></p> <p>The African American women who joined WAAC quickly discovered that they faced as many obstacles in the armed forces as they did in everyday life.

Along with Adams’s story are those of other black women who played a crucial role in integrating the armed forces.

Pogue's War Diaries of a WWII Combat Historian【電子書籍】[ Forrest C. Pogue ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>" With a foreword by Stephen Ambrose and a preface by Franklin D. Anderson Forrest Pogue (1912-1996) was undoubtedly one of the greatest World War II combat historians. Born and educated in Kentucky, he is perhaps best known for his definitive four-volume biography of General George C. Marshall. But, as Pogue's War makes clear, he was also a pioneer in the development of oral history in the twentieth century, as well as an impressive interviewer with an ability to relate to people at all levels, from the private in the trenches to the general carrying four stars. Pogue's War is drawn from Forrest Pogue's handwritten pocket notebooks, carried with him throughout the war, long regarded as unreadable because of his often atrocious handwriting. Pogue himself began expanding the diaries a few short years after the war, with the intent of eventual publication. At last this work is being published. Supplemented with carefully deciphered and transcribed selections from his diaries, the heart of the book is straight from the field. Much of the material has never before seen print. From D-Day to VE-Day, Pogue experienced and documented combat on the front lines, describing action on Omaha Beach, in the Huertgen Forest, and on other infamous fields of conflict. He not only graphically -- yet also often poetically -- recounts the extreme circumstances of battle, but he also notes his fellow soldiers' innermost thoughts, feelings, opinions, and attitudes about the cruelty of war. As a trained historian, Pogue describes how he went about his work and how the Army's history program functioned in the European Theater of Operations. His entries from his time at the history headquarters in Paris show the city in the early days after the liberation in a unique light. Pogue's War has an immediacy that much official history lacks, and is a remarkable addition to any World War II bookshelf. Franklin D. Anderson, Forrest Pogue's nephew by marriage, is a longtime educator. He lives in Princeton, Kentucky.</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。 2,578円

MH-53J/M PAVE LOW III/IV Systems Engineering Case Study: Challenges of Night Rescue and Night Vision; Technical Details and Program History【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This is one of a series of systems engineering case studies prepared by the Air Force Center for Systems Engineering. This case study analyzes the Sikorsky HH/MH-53 (iii) PAVE LOW series which has served as a long-range Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) and Special operations helicopters for the United States Air Force. The series consisted of advanced and upgraded models of the HH-53B/C Super Jolly Green Giant, which were derived from the CH-53A Sea Stallion flown by the U.S. Marine Corps. The HH-53B/C was initially developed to supplement the Sikorsky HH-3E Jolly Green Giant in the CSAR role during the Vietnam War. After an extensive modification program to provide night/adverse weather capability, the aircraft was redesignated as the HH-53H PAVE LOW III. Later, after inheriting an additional role as a Special operations platform, it was redesignated the MH-53H. Upgrades in mission and defensive equipment for its expanded role produced the MH-53J PAVE LOW III Enhanced. The last and most advanced variant was the MH-53M PAVE LOW IV. After 29 years of service, the PAVE LOW fleet was retired in September 2008 and was replaced primarily by the Boeing MH-47E Special operations variant of the CH-47 Chinook helicopter flown by the U.S. Army.</p> <p>The study provides a wealth of technical information about the aircraft and its complex history.</p> <p>The Department of Defense is exponentially increasing the acquisition of joint complex systems that deliver needed capabilities demanded by our warfighter. Systems engineering is the technical and technical management process that focuses explicitly on delivering and sustaining robust, high-quality, affordable solutions. The Air Force leadership has collectively stated the need to mature a sound systems engineering process throughout the Air Force.

Hitler's Spanish Legion The Blue Division in Russia in WWII【電子書籍】[ Gerald R Kleinfeld ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A history of the 47,000 Spanish soldiers who volunteered to fight for Hitler in Russia during World War II.</strong></p> <p>Although Spain claimed neutrality during World War II, 47,000 Spaniards volunteered to fight on behalf of the Third Reich. Known as the Blue Division, they battled the Soviets on the Eastern Front and played a key role in the pivotal siege of Leningrad. Set apart from the Wehrmacht by stark differences in culture, tactics, and command structure, these volunteers foughtーmany of them to the deathーwith courage and tenacity against strong opposition, extreme temperatures, and insufficient supplies for what they believed was their chance to secure Spain’s place in a new and changing Europe.</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。 2,816円

Stay the Rising Sun The True Story of USS Lexington, Her Valiant Crew, and Changing the Course of WWII【電子書籍】[ Phil Keith ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A “well-written, superbly researched” account of a WWII aircraft carrier’s demise in the Pacificーand the legacy left by the “Lady Lex” (CPL Vincent L. Anderson, USMC, Marine Detachment, USS Lexington, survivor of the Battle of the Coral Sea).</strong></p> <p>In May 1942, the United States’ first naval victory against the Japanese in the Coral Sea was marred by the loss of the aircraft carrier USS <em>Lexington</em>. Another carrier was nearly ready for launch when the news arrived, so the navy changed her name to Lexington, confusing the Japanese.</p> <p>The men of the original “Lady Lex” loved their ship and fought hard to protect her. They were also seeking revenge for the losses sustained at Pearl Harbor. Crippling attacks by the Japanese left her on fire and dead in the water. But a remarkable ninety percent of the crew made it off the burning decks before Lexington had to be abandoned. In all the annals of the Second World War, there is hardly a battle story more compelling.</p> <p>The ship’s legacy did not end with her demise, however. Although the battle was deemed a tactical success for the Japanese, it turned out to be a strategic loss: For the first time in the war, a Japanese invasion force was forced to retreat. The lessons learned by losing the Lexington at Coral Sea impacted tactics, air wing operations, damage control, and ship construction. Altogether, they forged a critical, positive turning point in the war. The ship that ushered in a new era in naval warfare might be gone, but fate decreed that her important legacy would live on.</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。 2,816円

A Thousand Places Left Behind One Soldier’s Account of Jungle Warfare in WWII Burma【電子書籍】[ Peter K. Lutken Jr. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Born and raised in Mississippi, Peter K. Lutken, Jr. (1920?2014) joined the army in 1941 and was assigned to the Coast Artillery. Originally sent to India to guard airfields, he was reassigned to the British V Force, then the American OSS (Office of Strategic Services and precursor to the CIA) after he volunteered for reconnaissance missions behind Japanese lines. Skills he had learned as a boy in the backwoods and swamps around the Pearl River stood him in good stead, and by the end of the war, he attained the rank of major, commanding an entire battalion of ethnic Kachins and other local people of northern Burma (now called Myanmar).</p> <p>Lutken's stories carry the reader along as he sails on a troop ship to India, then treks into the mountainous jungles of northern Burma to gather intelligence and engage in guerrilla warfare with the Japanese. In his straightforward way, he describes how he learned the language of the Kachins and much about their customs and legends, and how he fought alongside them for the course of the war. Adventures of rafting uncharted rivers, surprise attacks, sabotage, natural hazards and disease, feasts and ceremonies, the plight of refugees, and tragic events of war are all told from the perspective of a young soldier, who finds himself half a world away from home.</p> <p>Based on hundreds of pages of transcripts from tapes recorded late in his life, <em>A Thousand Places Left Behind</em> recounts the untold story not just of one soldier’s experiences, but of the little-known history of American and British forces in Burma during World War II. Supported by original maps based on Lutken’s personal travels as well as photographs from his scrapbook, the book traces Lutken’s journey overseas, his expeditions into the jungle, and his return to Jackson, Mississippi in 1945. Beyond the war, Lutken’s connection with the Kachins culminated in “Project Old Soldier,”?a crop exchange program which he and other veterans of OSS Detachment 101 initiated in the 1990s and which lasted until after his death in 2014. The book tells a remarkable story of bravery, friendship, history, and the unbreakable bonds forged in times of war.</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。 3,232円
