【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Caporetto and the Isonzo Campaign The Italian Front, 1915?1918【電子書籍】[ ?eljko Cimpric ]

<p><strong>This illustrated WWI history sheds light on a major campaign fought along the significant yet often neglected Italian Front.</strong><br /> From 1915 to 1917 the armies of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were locked in a series of battles along the River Isonzo, a sixty-mile front from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea. The campaigns were fought in unforgiving terrain, with casualty counts that exceeded those of the Great War's more famous battles. The twelfth and final battle, Caporetto, was a major victory for the Central Powers as they broke through the Italian Front.<br /> Historian John Macdonald chronicles the Isonzo battles with vivid descriptions of the battlefields and of the atrocious conditions in which the soldiers fought. The text is supported by a selection of original photographs that record the terrible reality of the conflict. The intervention of British, French and German troops is covered, as are the parts played by famous individuals, including Erwin Rommel, Benito Mussolini, Pietro Badoglio and Luigi Cadorna, the notorious Italian commander in chief. <em>Caporetto and the Isonzo Campaign</em> examines an aspect of the First World War that was pivotal in the history of Italy, Austria and the Balkans.</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 Human Face of D-Day【電子書籍】[ Keith M. Nightingale ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】The Human Face of D-Day【電子書籍】[ Keith M. Nightingale ]

<p>"War and conflict are human creations and Nightingale's book draws on human interaction and experience underpinned by historical context. He describes the strategy and operations only to the depth necessary to frame the significance of the human experiences placed in the events." ー Military Review<br /> Ever since Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy, the men who survived have sought to return, to honor their dead, and to teach others of what they went through to liberate Europe. Soldier Keith Nightingale has conducted terrain walks in Normandy for over forty years with veterans, active-duty military, and local French civilians. Over the decades Nightingale conducted dozens of formal interviews and informal conversations with many of the principals of the day, including Generals Bradley, Collins, Gavin, Ridgway and Hill. Added to this rare, new primary material from the top brass are numerous conversations with lower-ranking vets who did the heavy lifting, many of which took place as they actually walked the battlefield with NightingaleーMajor Howard of Pegasus Bridge; LTC Otway of Merville Battery; Captain Piper of La Fi?re Bridge; LTC Vandervoort, CO of the 2-505/82d; Cpt Raeen of the 5th Rangers; Lt Dick Winters of Br?court Manor; PFC Marcucci of Omaha Beach; and SSG Lem Lomell of Pointe Du Hoc. This unique approach to D-Day combines the author's discussions with veteran and civilian participants in D-Day, his personal reflections on Operation Overlord, and the insights that occurーoften at the very site of a battle. Interspersed with veterans' remarks, Nightingale's personal essays are inspired by specific discussions or multiple interviews. Taken together, the succinct, human observations of these participants illuminate the hard facts to create a unique work of long-lasting interest that will attract specialists, military history buffs, armchair generals, and general readers alike.</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。

Lapham's Raiders Guerrillas in the Philippines, 1942?1945【電子書籍】[ Robert Lapham ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Lapham's Raiders Guerrillas in the Philippines, 1942?1945【電子書籍】[ Robert Lapham ]

<p><strong>A US soldier recounts his extensive guerilla campaign against the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in this thoroughly researched WWII memoir.</strong><br /> On December 8th, 1941, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese invaded the Philippine Islands, catching American forces unprepared and forcing their eventual surrender. Among the American soldiers who managed to avoid capture was twenty-five-year-old Lieutenant Robert Lapham, who played a major role in the resistance to the brutal Japanese occupation.<br /> After emerging from the jungles of Bataan, Lapham built and commanded a devastating guerrilla force behind enemy lines. His Luzon Guerrilla Armed Forces evolved into an army of thirteen thousand men that eventually controlled the entire northern half of Luzon's great Central Plain, an area of several thousand square miles. In <em>Lapham's Raiders</em>, Lapham and historian Bernard Norling reconstruct the drama of the LGAF through letters, records and the recollections of Lapham and others.<br /> <em>Lapham's Raiders</em> sheds light on the clandestine activities of the LGAF and other guerrilla operations, assess the damages of war to the Filipino people, and discuss the United States' postwar treatment of the newly independent Philippine nation. It also examines Japan's wartime failures in the Philippines and elsewhere, and of America's postwar failure to fully realize opportunities there.</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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Wonder of Wonders A Cultural History of Fiddler on the Roof【電子書籍】[ Alisa Solomon ]

<p><strong>"The richest, deepest, most far-ranging, continuously and delightfully surprising book about a single work of theatrical art I've ever encountered." ーTony Kushner, Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner</strong><br /> In the half-century since its premiere, <em>Fiddler on the Roof</em> has had an astonishing global impact. Beloved by audiences the world over, performed from rural high schools to grand state theaters, <em>Fiddler</em> is a supremely potent cultural landmark.<br /> In a history as captivating as its subject, award-winning drama critic Alisa Solomon traces how and why the story of Tevye the milkman, the creation of the great Yiddish writer Sholem-Aleichem, was reborn as blockbuster entertainment and a cultural touchstone, not only for Jews and not only in America. It is a story of the theater, following Tevye from his humble appearance on the New York Yiddish stage, through his adoption by leftist dramatists as a symbol of oppression, to his Broadway debut in one of the last big book musicals, and his ultimate destinationーa major Hollywood picture.<br /> Solomon reveals how the show spoke to the deepest conflicts and desires of its time: the fraying of tradition, generational tension, the loss of roots. Audiences everywhere found in <em>Fiddler</em> immediate resonance and a usable past, whether in Warsaw, where it unlocked the taboo subject of Jewish history, or in Tokyo, where the producer asked how Americans could understand a story that is "so Japanese."<br /> Rich, entertaining, and original, <em>Wonder of Wonders</em> reveals the surprising and enduring legacy of a show about tradition that itself became a tradition.<br /> Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles.<br /> <strong>"This is the story of Fiddler for the ages." ーStacy Wolf, author of <em>Changed for Good</em></strong></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>"Will likely be the definitive biography. . . . a detailed and fascinating account of how the Supreme Court functioned during Brennan's long tenure." ー <em>Publishers Weekly</em> (starred review)</strong><br /> This is a compelling inside look at the life of William Brennan, a champion of free speech who is widely considered the most influential Supreme Court justice of the twentieth century. Before his death, Brennan granted Stephen Wermiel access to volumes of personal and court materials that at the time were sealed to the public for another two decades. This "coveted set of documents," as Jeffrey Toobin described it, includes Brennan's case historiesーin which he recorded strategies behind major battles including <em>Roe v. Wade</em>, affirmative action, the death penalty, obscenity law, and the constitutional right to privacyーas well as more personal documents that reveal some of Brennan's curious contradictions, like his refusal to hire female clerks even as he wrote groundbreaking women's rights decisions; his complex stance as a justice and a Catholic; and details on Brennan's unprecedented working relationship with Chief Justice Earl Warren. In this biography, Wermiel and Seth Stern distill decades of valuable information into a seamless, riveting portrait of the man behind the Court's most liberal era.<br /> "The most comprehensive and well-organized look at the legendary liberal jurist to date." ー <em>The New York Times</em><br /> "Seats the reader in Brennan's chambers to listen to his conversations and see the memoranda exchanged with other justices and his law clerks." ー <em>Newark Star Ledger</em><br /> "The authors balance differing accounts of Brennan the jurist and the man, presenting an evenhanded portrait of the affable but stubborn Justice." ー <em>Kirkus Reviews</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。

Pudge The Biography of Carlton Fisk【電子書籍】[ Doug Wilson ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Pudge The Biography of Carlton Fisk【電子書籍】[ Doug Wilson ]

<p><strong>From a Casey Award finalist, the first biography of Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk: "A home run all the way." ーLeigh Montville, <em>New York Times</em>?bestselling author of <em>The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth</em></strong><br /> Carlton Fisk retired having played in more games and hit more home runs than any other catcher before him. A baseball superstar in the 1970s and '80s, Fisk was known not just for his dedication to the sport and tremendous plays but for the respect with which he treated the game.<br /> A homegrown icon, Fisk rapidly became the face of one of the most storied teams in baseball, the Boston Red Sox of the 1970s. As a rookie making only $12,000 a year, he became the first player to unanimously win the American League Rookie of the Year award in 1972, upping both his pay grade and national recognition. Fisk's game-winning home run in Game Six of the hotly contested 1975 World Series forever immortalized him in one of the sport's most exciting televised moments. Fisk played through an epic period of player-owner relations, including the dawn of free agency, strikes, and collusions. After leaving Boston under controversy in 1981, he joined the Chicago White Sox, where he played for twelve more major league seasons, solidifying his position as one of the best catchers of all time.<br /> Doug Wilson, finalist for both the Casey Award and Seymour Medal for his previous baseball biographies, uses his own extensive research and interviews with Fisk's childhood friends and major league teammates to examine the life and career of a leader who followed a strict code and played with fierce determination.<br /> <em>Includes photos</em><br /> "Wilson received much-deserved praise for his biographies of Mark Fidrych and Brooks Robinson.

He was heavily recruited by major universities, chosen as a McDonald's All-American, featured in a <em>Sports Illustrated</em> cover story, and at just seventeen years old became the central figure in <em>Fall River Dreams</em>, an acclaimed book about the 1994 Durfee team's quest for the state championship.<br /> Leaving Fall River for college, Herren starred on Jerry Tarkanian's Fresno State Bulldogs team of talented misfits, which included future NBA players as well as future convicted felons. His gritty, tattooed, hip-hop persona drew the ire of rival fans and more national attention: <em>Rolling Stone</em> profiled him, <em>60 Minutes</em> interviewed him, and the Denver Nuggets drafted him.

<p><em><strong>New York Times</strong></em> <strong>?bestselling Author: Multiple agendas collide and set off an explosion on the Southern border in this thriller from "a superb storyteller" ( <em>The Washington Post</em>).</strong><br /> Violence and tensions along the U.S.-Mexican border have never been higher, sparked by battles between rival drug lords and an increased flow of illegal migrants. To combat the threat, the United States has executed Operation Rampart: a controversial test base in Southern California run by Major Richter and TALON, his high-tech special operations unit.<br /> Their success is threatened by a drug kingpin and migrant smuggler named Ernesto Fuerza. In the guise of a Mexican nationalist going by the name Commander Veracruz, he causes a storm of controversy on both sides of the border, calling for a revolution to take back the northernmost "Mexican states"ーalso known as the southwestern United States. His real intention, though, is to make it easier to import illegal drugs across the border.<br /> While panic is stirred to a fever pitch by a popular talk-show host, Richter and his force are reassigned to the FBI to investigate the murders of several Border Patrol agentsーa mission that will bring him face-to-face with Fuerza and set off a wave of bloodshed that threatens to become an all-out guerrilla war.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】A Shau Valor American Combat Operations in the Valley of Death, 1963?1971【電子書籍】[ Thomas R. Yarborough ]

<p><strong>From the author of <em>Da Nang Diary</em>: A military history of the Battle of Hamburger Hill and other fights between the NVA and the US and its Vietnamese allies.</strong><br /> Throughout the Vietnam War, one focal point persisted where the Viet Cong guerrillas and Army of the Republic of Viet Nam (ARVN) were not a major factor, but where the trained professionals of the North Vietnamese and US armies repeatedly fought head-to-head. <em>A Shau Valor</em> is a thorough study of nine years of American combat operations encompassing the crucial frontier valley and a fifteen-mile radius around itーthe most deadly killing ground of the entire war.<br /> Beginning in 1963, Special Forces A-teams established camps along the valley floor, followed by a number of top-secret Project Delta reconnaissance missions through 1967. Then, US Army and Marine Corps maneuver battalions engaged in a series of sometimes-controversial thrusts into the A Shau, designed to disrupt NVA infiltrations and to kill enemy soldiers, part of what came to be known as Westmoreland's "war of attrition."<br /> The various campaigns included Operation Pirous (1967); Operations Delaware and Somerset Plain (1968); and Operations Dewey Canyon, Massachusetts Striker, and Apache Snow (1969)ーwhich included the infamous battle for Hamburger Hillーculminating with Operation Texas Star and the vicious fight for and humiliating evacuation of Fire Support Base Ripcord in the summer of 1970, the last major US battle of the war.<br /> By 1971, the fighting had once again shifted to the realm of small Special Forces reconnaissance teams assigned to the ultra-secret Studies and Observations Group (SOG). Other works have focused on individual battles or units, but <em>A Shau Valor</em> is the first to study the campaignーfor all its courage and sacrificeーchronologically and within the context of other historical, political, and cultural events.</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。

Junkers Ju87 Stuka【電子書籍】[ Martin Derry ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Junkers Ju87 Stuka【電子書籍】[ Martin Derry ]

<p>The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka (a contraction of the German word Sturzkampfflugzeug, ie dive bomber) was arguably the Luftwaffes most recognizable airplane, with its inverted gull wings and fixed spatted undercarriage.Designed by Hermann Pohlmann as a dedicated dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft, the prototype first flew in 1935, and made its combat debut in 1937 with the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War. After several design changes in the light of operational experiences, the Stuka went on to serve the Luftwaffe and Axis forces, from the invasion of Poland in 1939, through the Battles of France and Britain in 1940, over the North African desert and the across Mediterranean, the invasion of Russia and the subsequent bitter fighting in that vast area, and following several more design changes and upgrades, continued to serve through to the end of World War Two.This latest addition to the growing Flight Craft range, follows the previous well established format, in that it is split in to three main sections. The first section, after offering a concise design and development history, continues with coverage of the various subtypes, from Anton to Gustav and their operational use from the Spanish Civil War to the end of World War Two.This is followed by a 16-page full color illustration section featuring detailed profiles and 2-views of the color schemes and markings carried by the type in Luftwaffe and Axis service. The final section lists as many of the injection-moulded plastic model kits produced of the Junkers Ju 87 in all the major scales that the authors could find details of, including the brand new Airfix 1/72 and 1/48 scale kits which were released while this book was being written, with photos of many finished models made by some of the worlds best modelers.As with all the other books in the Flight Craft range, whilst published primarily with the scale aircraft modeler in mind, it is hoped that those readers who might perhaps describe themselves as 'occasional' modelers, or even simply aviation enthusiasts, may also find that this colourful and informative work offers something to provoke their interests too.</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。

Powering the World's Airliners Engine Developments from the Propeller to the Jet Age【電子書籍】[ Reiner Decher ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Powering the World's Airliners Engine Developments from the Propeller to the Jet Age【電子書籍】[ Reiner Decher ]

<p><strong>From propellers to turbofans, this illustrated history of engines will be "of interest to modelers and aviation historians alike"</strong> ( <strong><em>AMPS Indianapolis</em>).</strong><br /> The first efforts of man to fly were limited by his ability to generate sufficient power to lift a heavier-than-air machine off the ground. Propulsion and thrust have therefore been the most fundamental elements in the development of aircraft engines.<br /> From the simple propellers of the first airliners of the 1920s and 1930s, to the turboprops and turbojets of the modern era, the engines used in airliners have undergone dramatic development over a century of remarkable change. These advances are examined in detail by aeronautical engineer Reiner Decher, who provides a layman's guide to the engines that have, and continue to, power the aircraft that carry millions of travelers across millions of miles each year. Decher also looks at the development of aero engines during the Second World War and how that conflict drove innovation and explains the nature of wing design, from the early twentieth century to the present.<br /> To enable an easy understanding of this intriguing subject, <em>Powering the World's Airliners</em> is profusely illustrated, transporting readers back to the time of each major development and introducing them to the key individuals of the aero industry in each era. After reading this comprehensive yet engaging story of the machines that power the aircraft in which we fly, no journey will ever seem quite the same again.</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。

Before the eighteenth century Act of Settlement in the Eighteenth Century, these neighboring lands were locked in a long, contentious, and often bloody conflict.<br /> Matthews has researched more than twenty major battles between England and Scotland. They range from the seventh century Battle of Degsastan to the Jaobite Rising's bitter end at Culloden in the eighteenth century. Each battle forms a chapter, explaining the causes of the conflict, the forces involved, the battle itself, and a brief guide to the battlefield as it is today.</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>The never-before-told story of the momentous season torn in half by the bitter players strike.</strong> <strong>Sourcing incredible and extensive interviews with almost all of the major participants in the strike, <em>Split Season: 1981</em> returns us to the on- and off-field drama of an unforgettable baseball year.</strong><br /> 1981 was a watershed moment in American sports, when players turned an oligarchy of owners into a game where they had a real voice. Midway through the season, a game-changing strike ripped baseball apart, the first time a season had ever been stopped in the middle because of a strike. Marvin Miller and the MLB Players Association squared off against Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn and the owners in a fight to protect players rights to free agency and defend America's pastime.<br /> Though a time bomb was ticking as the 1981 season began, the game rose to impressive---and now legendary---heights. Pete Rose chased Stan Musial's National League hit record and rookie Fernando Valenzuela was creating a sensation as the best pitcher in the majors when the stadiums went dark and the players went on strike.<br /> For the first time in modern history, there were first- and second-half champions; the two teams with the overall best records in the National League were not awarded play-off berths. When the season resumed after an absence of 712 games, Rose's resumption of his pursuit, the resurgence of Reggie Jackson, the rise of the Montreal Expos, and a Nolan Ryan no-hitter became notable events. The Dodgers bested their longtime rivals in a Yankees-Dodgers World Series, the last classic matchup of those storied opponents.</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 Witch A History of Fear, from Ancient Times to the Present【電子書籍】[ Ronald Hutton ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】The Witch A History of Fear, from Ancient Times to the Present【電子書籍】[ Ronald Hutton ]

<p><strong>This "magisterial account" explores the fear of witchcraft across the globe from the ancient world to the notorious witch trials of early modern Europe ( <em>The Guardian</em>, UK).</strong><br /> The witch came to prominenceーand often a painful deathーin early modern Europe, yet her origins are much more geographically diverse and historically deep. In <em>The Witch</em>, historian Ronald Hutton sets the European witch trials in the widest and deepest possible perspective and traces the major historiographical developments of witchcraft.</p> <p>Hutton, a renowned expert on ancient, medieval, and modern paganism and witchcraft beliefs, combines Anglo-American and continental scholarly approaches to examine attitudes on witchcraft and the treatment of suspected witches across the world, including in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Australia, and the Americas, and from ancient pagan times to current interpretations. His fresh anthropological and ethnographical approach focuses on cultural inheritance and change while considering shamanism, folk religion, the range of witch trials, and how the fear of witchcraft might be eradicated.</p> <p><strong>"[A] panoptic, penetrating book."ーMalcolm Gaskill, <em>London Review of Books</em></strong></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。

Flesh and Steel During the Great War The Transformation of the French Army and the Invention of Modern Warfare【電子書籍】[ Michael Goya ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Flesh and Steel During the Great War The Transformation of the French Army and the Invention of Modern Warfare【電子書籍】[ Michael Goya ]

<p><strong>The noted military historian presents an illuminating study of trench warfare during WWIーand how it influenced the French Army's evolution.</strong><br /> Michel Goya's <em>Flesh and Steel during the Great War</em> is a major contribution to our understanding of the French Army's experience on the Western Front, and how that experience impacted the future of its military theory and practice. Goya explores the way in which the senior commanders and ordinary soldiers responded to the extraordinary challenges posed by the mass industrial warfare of the early twentieth century.<br /> In 1914 the French army went to war with a flawed doctrine, brightly-colored uniforms and a dire shortage of modern, heavy artillery. How then, over four years of relentless, attritional warfare, did it become the great, industrialized army that emerged victorious in 1918?<br /> To show how this change occurred, the author examines the pre-war ethos and organization of the army. He describes in telling detail how, through a process of analysis and innovation, the French army underwent the deepest and fastest transformation in its history.</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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Fort Vaux【電子書籍】[ Christina Holstein ]

<p>The bitter fight for Fort Vaux is one of the most famous episodes in the Battle of Verdunーit has achieved almost legendary status in French military history. The heroic resistance put up by the forts commander, Major Raynal, and his small, isolated garrison in the face of repeated German assaults was remarkable at the time, and it is still seen as an outstanding example of gallantry and determination. But what really happened inside the besieged fort during the German attacks, and how can visitors to the Verdun battlefield get an insight into the extraordinary events that took place there almost a century ago? In this precise, accessible account, Christina Holstein, one of the leading authorities on the Verdun battlefield and its monuments, reconstructs the fight for the fort in graphic day-by-day detail. Readers get a vivid sense of the sequence of events, of the intense experience of the defenders and a wider understanding of the importance of Fort Vaux in the context of the German 1916 offensive.</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。

Battle of Peleliu, 1944 Three Days That Turned into Three Months【電子書籍】[ Jim Moran ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Battle of Peleliu, 1944 Three Days That Turned into Three Months【電子書籍】[ Jim Moran ]

<p>After the Allies had defeated the Japanese in the Solomons and the Dutch East Indies, the capture of the Philippines became General MacArthur's next objective. For this offensive to succeed, MacArthur felt compelled to secure his eastern flank by seizing control of the Palau Islands, one of which was Peleliu. The task of capturing this island, and the enemy airfield on it, was initially handed to Admiral Nimitz. The Palau Islands, however, formed part of Japan's second defensive line, and Peleliu's garrison amounted to more than 10,000 men. Consequently, when the US preliminary bombardment began on 12 September 1944, it was devastating. For two days the island was pounded relentlessly. Such was the scale of the destruction that the commander of the 1st Marine Division, Major General William H. Rupertus, told his men: 'We're going to have some casualties, but let me assure you this is going to be a fast one, rough but fast. We'll be through in three days ? it may only take two.' At 08.32 hours on 15 September 1944, the Marines went ashore. Despite bitter fighting, and a ferocious Japanese defence, by the end of the day the Marines had a firm hold on Peleliu. But rather than Japanese resistance crumbling during the following days as had been expected, it stiffened, as they withdrew to their prepared defensive positions. The woods, swamps, caves and mountains inland had been turned into a veritable fortress ? it was there where the real battle for possession of Peleliu was fought. Day after day the Americans battled forward, gradually wresting control of Peleliu from the Japanese. Despite Major General Rupertus' prediction, it was not until 27 November, after two months, one week and five days of appalling fighting, and a final, futile last sacrificial charge by the remaining enemy troops, that the Battle of Peleliu came to an end.</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><em><strong>New York Times</strong></em> <strong>Bestseller: A "superb" blow-by-blow account of how Tip O'Neill and his colleagues impeached Richard Nixon after Watergate ( <em>Chicago Tribune</em>).</strong><br /> Not long after burglars were caught raiding the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Hotel, Congressman Tip O'Neill noticed that Democratic fundraising efforts for the 1972 election had stalled. Major contributors were under IRS investigation, and Republican lackeys were threatening further trouble if those donors didn't close their checkbooks. O'Neill sensed a conspiracy coming from the Nixon administration, but it wasn't until the scandal broke that he connected the threatened donors with the Watergate burglary. In the boldest move of his career, he did something that would shock the nation: O'Neill decided to impeach the President.</p> <p>To his fellow members of the House of Representatives, this was an ugly idea. But as evidence mounted against Nixon and his cronies, O'Neill led the charge against the President. This blow-by-blow, conviction-by-conviction account is a gripping reminder of how O'Neill and his colleagues brought justice to those who abused their power, and revived America after the greatest political scandal in its history.</p> <p><em>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Jimmy Breslin including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.</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。
