Эта книга - итог 10-летней работы по переосмыслению советского прошлого, решительная ревизия военных мифов, унаследованных от сталинского агитпропа, бескомпромиссная полемика с историческим официозом. Это - горькая правда о кровавом 1945-м, который был не только годом Победы, но и БЕДЫ - недаром многие события последних месяцев войны до сих пор обходят молчанием, архивы так и не рассекречены до конца, а самые горькие, "неудобные" и болезненные вопросы по сей день остаются без ответов. Когда на самом деле закончилась Великая Отечественная война? Почему Берлин не был взят в феврале 1945 года и пришлось штурмовать его в апреле? Кто в действительности брал Рейхстаг и поднял Знамя Победы? Оправданны ли огромные потери советских танков, брошенных в кровавый хаос уличных боев, и правда ли, что в Берлине сгорела не одна танковая армия? Кого и как освобождали советские войска в Европе? Какова подлинная цена Победы? И кто на самом деле победил во Второй Мировой войне? Эта книга завершает 5-томную историю Великой Отечественной войны от Владимира Бешанова.

Formidable and sophisticated, triremes were the deadliest battleship of the ancient world, and at the height of their success, the Athenians were the dominant exponents of their devastating power. Primarily longships designed to fight under oar power, the trireme was built for lightness and strength; ship-timber was mostly softwoods such as poplar, pine and fir, while the oars and mast were made out of fir. Their main weapon was a bronze-plated ram situated at the prow. From the combined Greek naval victory at Salamis (480 BC), through the Peloponnesian War, and up until the terrible defeat by the Macedonians at Amorgos, the Athenian trireme was an object of dread to its enemies. This book offers a complete analysis and insight into the most potent battleship of its time; the weapon by which Athens achieved, maintained, and ultimately lost its power and prosperity.

When a new type of warship, the aircraft carrier, came into existence after World War I, it could not yet be suspected that a quarter-century later this type would surpass and finally replace the battleship, which until then had been regarded as the "nucleus" of every high-sea fleet. At that time the aircraft carrier was still regarded as a kind of auxiliary warship, and certainly as a satellite of the battleship, to which it could be assigned for its protection. Only a few far-seeing naval officers considered the possibility of offensive carrier warfare, and they were stationed, as could be said, at indefensible positions. The opposition of those circles who continued to see the battleship as the "non plus ultra" and were willing to concede, at most, reconnaissance service and defensive possibilities to the carrier, was too great. But since the new type of warship was at hand, the great sea powers did not give up on it, but at first they did very little to promote its further development. Meanwhile, time worked in favor of the airplane: with the increase in aircraft performance, the tactical standpoints toward a future sea war changed, and the aircraft carrier gradually gained importance.

By the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 Britain was the undisputed master of the seas owing to the power and strength of the Royal Navy. Its fleets, comprising ships of the line, frigates, and gunboats, had doubled in size since the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars in 1793, totaling almost a thousand capital vessels. This book examines the commanders, men, and ships of the Royal Navy during the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars, and discusses the Navy's command structure (from the Admiralty down to ship level) and its organization at sea. The tactics employed in action by a fleet, a squadron, and individual ships are also discussed, as are the medical services available, providing a fascinating insight into the navy that ruled the waves.
