"Рейзен" был для меня все равно, нто меч для самурая. Я ощущал его как собственное тело," - так писал один из японских пилотов о самом известном японском самолете второй мировой войны. Hачиная с Перл-Харбора до последних боев по отражению налетов на Японию американских В-29, истребитель Мицубиси А6М Рейзеи (сокращенно от "Рейсики зентоки" - "Истребитель ноль") участвовал практически во всех воздушных сражениях, проводимых императорским флотом. Его отличная маневренность и высокая дальность полета стали почти легендой, и до сего дня "Зеро" остается символом японской авиации. Его мировая слава была завоевана в первых боях на Тихом океане, когда в течение шести месяцев он не знал серьезного отпора. Hо в ходе войны японцы не сумели обеспечить ему достойной замены - истребителя, способного превзойти противника по скорости, вооружению и живучести. И, начиная с конца 1942 г, нести свой крест боев для А6М было все тяжелей. Hесмотря на то, что после 1943 г истребитель уже явно устарел, японцы продолжали выпускать его до конца войны. В результате "Рейзен" стал самым массовым японским самолетом.

This title draws on contemporary testimonies of life in Napoleon's army, documenting the reality of conscription, training, camp life and combat action for the common infantry soldier. In contrast to most works on this period, it calls into question the propagandist views expounded by numerous Bonapartists - the romantic notion of La Gloire is very much tempered by some hard-hitting recollections of the horror and misery of military life 200 years ago. Packed with prints taken from contemporary sources and superb colour illustrations, it provides a concise, revealing and authentic portrait of life in the Grand Armee.

This is the first comprehensive study based on a detailed textual analysis of the classical works on war by Clausewitz, Sun Tzu, Mao Tse-tung, and to a lesser extent, Jomini and Machiavelli. Brushing stereotypes aside, the author takes a fresh look at what these strategic thinkers actually said—not what they are widely believed to have said. He finds that despite their apparent differences in terms of time, place, cultural background, and level of material/technological development, all had much more in common than previously supposed. In fact, the central conclusion of this book is that the logic of waging war and of strategic thinking is as universal and timeless as human nature itself. This third, revised and expanded edition includes five new chapters and some new charts and diagrams.
