【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!】With Courage: The U.S. Army Air Forces In WWII【電子書籍】[ Bernard C. Nalty ]

<p>The four years between 1941 and 1945 were years in which the nation raised and trained an air armada and committed it to operations on a scale unknown to that time. With Courage: The U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II retells the story of sacrifice, valor, and achievements in air campaigns against tough determined adversaries. It describes the development of a uniquely American doctrine for the application of air power against an opponent's key industries and centers of national life, a doctrine whose legacy today is the Global Reach-Global Power strategic planning framework of the modern U.S. Air Force. The narrative integrates aspects of strategic intelligence, logistics, technology, and leadership to offer a full yet concise account of the contributions of American air power to victory in that war.ーPrint Ed.</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>We have grown up in a society that has trained us to think about ourselves and everything around us a certain way that's contrary to God's truth which needs to be corrected.<br /> God designed human beings to raise above. But most people leave this world without doing anything that leaves a trace that they were in this world except off springs which again is not different from many animals. As you dive into this book, I hope that you see what it takes for one to live a life of significance, what practical things you could follow and do them. This book will get you to realize that It's time to raise up to purposes and callings of God on your life and lead a more meaningful life than just existing, passing through life and arriving at death safely.<br /> You have a choice; either standing up, live past your generation or staying self-focused and live the contrary.</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!】Canopies Of Blue: The U.S. Airborne Experience In The Pacific In WWII As A Case Study In Operational Art And Multi-Role Flexibility【電子書籍】[ Major Channing M. Greene Jr. ]

<p>As America's collective memory of the Second World War fades, popular history books and the entertainment industry have filled the knowledge gap with accounts from the European Theater. A resurgence in works focusing on the war in the Pacific has surfaced in recent years, but the topic still requires a fresh perspective. In particular, the American airborne experience in the Pacific presents a field ripe for exploration.<br /> This historical monograph argues that a careful review of the operations involving the 11th Airborne Division, the 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment, and the 1st Marine Parachute Battalion reveals a measure of foresight on the part of those who designed campaign plans in the Pacific. General Joseph Swing's implementation of the Paraglider concept in the 11th Airborne enabled his unit to perform a variety of tasks including amphibious operations, parachute drops, and POW camp raids. The Allies' only independent parachute regiment in the Pacific, the 503rd, successfully employed the combined arms concept in its capture of Nadzab and set the conditions for the Allied reduction of Japanese defenses around Rabaul. The United States Marine Corps' short-lived experiment with airborne forces revealed the usefulness of units in multi-role functions, but ultimately betrayed an inability to execute actual parachute drops because of logistical limitations in the ocean environment.</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。

Transnational Activities of Women-Focused Civil Society Actors in Southern Africa【電子書籍】[ Cecilia Lwiindi Nedziwe ]

【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!】Transnational Activities of Women-Focused Civil Society Actors in Southern Africa【電子書籍】[ Cecilia Lwiindi Nedziwe ]

<p>This book focuses on southern Africa by engaging with ‘norms’ from various perspectives and how they have proliferated within a neo-liberalising context since the 1990s. It particularly examines gender norms in relation to agency, influence and their impact. Despite growing transnational activities, regional studies analyses have so far maintained a primarily linear logic not incorporative of the increasing interface between state and non-state regionalism in a transnational context since the advent of liberalisation and democratisation. Increasing non-state activities, and their connection to state processes involved in norm creation, adaptation, diffusion and implementation around broad questions of security (including gender security), amount to regional thickening. The book’s analytical approach is informed by alternatives to mainstream approaches, emphasising processes rather than linearity inherent in regional international relations studies. The research reveals that transnational activities and regionalisation of gender and women-focused civil society actors are critical for advocacy and diverse representation within intergovernmental policymaking structures at the regional scale.</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!】United States Army in WWII - the Mediterranean - Cassino to the Alps [Illustrated Edition]【電子書籍】[ Ernest F. Fisher Jr. ]

<p>[Includes 16 maps and 94 illustrations]<br /> "Wars should be fought," an American corps commander noted in his diary during the campaign in Italy, "in better country than this." It was indeed an incredibly difficult place to fight a war. The Italian peninsula is only some 150 miles wide, much of it dominated by some of the world's most precipitous mountains. Nor was the weather much help. It seemed to those involved that it was always either unendurably hot or bone-chilling cold.<br /> Yet American troops fought with remarkable courage and tenacity, and in company with a veritable melange of Allied troop...<br /> Despite the forbidding terrain, Allied commanders several times turned it to their advantage, achieving penetrations or breakthroughs over some of the most rugged mountains in the peninsula. To bypass mountainous terrain, the Allies at times resorted to amphibious landings, notably at Anzio...The campaign involved one ponderous attack after another against fortified positions: the Winter Line, the Gustav Line, the Gothic Line...<br /> It was also a campaign replete with controversy...Most troublesome of the questions that caused controversy were: Did the American commander, Mark Clark, err in focusing on the capture of Rome rather than conforming with the wishes of his British superior to try to trap retreating German forces? Did Allied commanders conduct the pursuit north of Rome with sufficient vigor? Indeed, should the campaign have been pursued all the way to the Alps when the Allies might have halted at some readily defensible line and awaited the outcome of the decisive campaign in northwestern Europe?<br /> Just as the campaign began on a note of covert politico-military maneuvering to achieve surrender of Italian forces, so it ended with intrigue and secret negotiations for a separate surrender of the Germans in Italy.</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>Following the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, it is a well-known fact that the US government sent its residents of Japanese descent to internment camps while other Asian Americans, including nearly 20,000 Chinese Americans or nearly 20% of the Chinese American population, signed up and served honorably in every branch of the US Armed Services, in all four theaters of combat.</p> <p>These veterans were recognized and honored for their service when President Trump signed into law <em>"The Chinese American World War II Veteran Congressional Gold Medal Act"</em> on December 20, 2018, three days after the 75th anniversary of repealing the 1882 "Chinese Exclusion Act". Their commitment and sacrifice to country demonstrates an extraordinary sense of patriotism. They served as Americans, with honor and distinction.</p> <p>In <strong>HONOR AND DUTY: <em>The Chinese American WWII Veterans</em></strong> E. Samantha Cheng compiles a thorough historical record that now recognizes the service and sacrifice these patriots paid in America's wartime need. In addition, the data collected and compiled for the Congressional Gold Medal project will serve as an indispensable source of info for surviving family members and historians/scholars alike.</p> <p>Including a Foreword by Fang Wong, Past National Commander of the American Legion, <strong>HONOR AND DUTY</strong> is divided into three sections:</p> <p>Section One:</p> <ul> <li>Overview of the Chinese American WWII Veterans Recognition Project</li> <li>Overview of the Congressional Gold Medal Act</li> <li>Methodologies of Data Acquisition and Service Verification Process</li> <li>Acknowledgements</li> </ul> <p>Section Two:</p> <ul> <li>Photos and Roll Call data for those who served in the Army, Army Air Corps, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marines</li> </ul> <p>Section Three</p> <ul> <li>Graphs and tables</li> </ul>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 Plot of Shame US Military Executions in Europe During WWII【電子書籍】[ Paul Johnson ]

【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 Plot of Shame US Military Executions in Europe During WWII【電子書籍】[ Paul Johnson ]

<p>The Oise-Aisne American Cemetery is the last resting place of 6,012 American soldiers who died fighting in a small portion of Northern France during the First World War. The impressive cemetery is divided into four plots marked A to D. However, few visitors are aware that across the road, behind the immaculate fa?ade of the superintendent's office, unmarked and completely surrounded by impassable shrubbery, is Plot E, a semi-secret fifth plot that contains the bodies of ninety-four American soldiers. These were men who were executed for crimes committed in the European Theater of Operations during and just after the Second World War. Originally, the men whose death sentences were carried out were buried near the sites of their executions in locations as far afield as England, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Algeria. A number of the men were executed in the grounds of Shepton Mallet prison in Somerset ? the majority of whom were hanged in the execution block, with two being shot by a firing squad in the prison yard. The executioner at most of the hangings was Thomas William Pierrepoint, assisted mainly by his more-famous nephew Albert Pierrepoint. Then, in 1949, under a veil of secrecy, the 'plot of shame', as it has become known, was established in France. The site does not exist on maps of the cemetery and it is not mentioned on the American Battle Monuments Commission's website. Visits to Plot E are not encouraged. Indeed, public access is difficult because the area is concealed, surrounded by bushes, and is closed to visitors. No US flag is permitted to fly over the plot and the graves themselves have no names, just small, simple stones the size of index cards that are differentiated only by reference numbers. Even underground the dishonored are set apart, with each body being positioned with its back to the main cemetery. In The Plot of Shame, the historian Paul Johnson uncovers the history of Plot E and the terrible stories of wartime crime linked to 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。

【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!】Behind Enemy Lines Special Forces, Secret Missions, and Hidden Fights of WWII【電子書籍】[ Sam Carter ]

<p>They crossed at night. Maps sewn into jackets. Charges wrapped in cloth. A whisper on a field phone. In the dark between villages, small teams changed the war.</p> <p>Behind Enemy Lines is a ground-level history of WWII special operations. It follows SAS patrols, OSS and SOE agents, and the resistance networks that moved them. Missions start with target selection. Then training, covers, insertion, and final exfil under pursuit. Every chapter pairs a vivid narrative with the tools that made it possible. Files, field notes, and voices guide the story. The pace stays sharp. The claims stay sourced.</p> <p>You move from Italy to the Balkans to the far edges of Burma. Rail cuts starve depots. Airfields go silent after midnight strikes. Local guides lead across ravines and pine forests. Radios tap out short bursts. Cipher pads fold back into liners. The work is patient, precise, and often brutal. Success feels small in the moment yet decisive in the ledger of a long war.</p> <p>Why it matters: this is strategy built from inches. It shows how a few people with clear plans can shift supply lines, timing, and morale. It honors risk without myth. It preserves detail so the record holds.</p> <p>You will learn:</p> <p>How a handful of saboteurs took apart the heavy-water route at Vemork with cold hands and simple kit.</p> <p>What Jedburgh teams actually carried, wore, and signaled on drop.</p> <p>How rail, bridge, and power targets were chosen for maximum effect.</p> <p>The logistics of safe houses, covers, caches, and cutouts under constant intercept risk.</p> <p>What failed, why it failed, and how later missions adapted.</p> <p>For readers of Ben Macintyre and Max Hastings who want the facts with the pulse still in them.

【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!】Covert Operations: Spies Who Changed History Intelligence Networks, Double Agents, and Clandestine Missions That Shaped WWII Outcomes, 1939-1945【電子書籍】[ Selene Rothwell ]

<p>Behind every major military decision of World War II lay invisible networks of spies, code-breakers, and intelligence operatives whose work determined the course of battles, invasions, and negotiations. From the Double Cross System that deceived Hitler about D-Day to the Lucy spy ring feeding Soviet commanders German battle plans, covert operations influenced strategic outcomes as profoundly as any tank division or bomber fleet. This book examines the intelligence operations that altered WWII's trajectory, drawing on declassified files, intercepted communications, and postwar testimonies. It explores how Allied and Axis powers recruited agents, ran double-agent networks, conducted sabotage missions, and exploited captured intelligence. The narrative reveals the human complexities behind espionageーmotivations ranging from ideology to coercion, the psychological toll of betrayal, and the moral ambiguities of wartime intelligence work. Through documentary evidence and operational records, readers encounter figures like Juan Pujol Garc?a (Agent Garbo), whose fabricated spy network convinced Germany that Patton would invade Calais; the Soviet Red Orchestra operating inside the Wehrmacht; OSS operatives parachuting into occupied Europe; and the Bletchley Park analysts whose code-breaking shortened the war. The book examines how intelligence successes and failuresーfrom Operation Mincemeat to the Pearl Harbor intelligence breakdownーdirectly affected military planning and political decisions. Each chapter contextualizes operations within broader strategic frameworks while highlighting the institutional competition, interdepartmental rivalries, and coordination failures that characterized wartime intelligence agencies. The book also addresses the postwar mythology surrounding certain operations and separates documented facts from Cold War embellishments.</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。

Part historical portrait of life during the Occupation, part valentine to The City of Light and the resilience of its people, this transportive love story follows the romance between a Catholic Resistance fighter and a Holocaust victim who meet at the famous Caf? Flore before war, prejudice, and disapproving families set them on divergent and tragically inevitable paths.</strong></p> <p><strong>A Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee</strong></p> <p><strong>“What a beautiful, heartbreaking story.” ーErica Robuck, National Bestselling Author of <em>Sisters of Night and Fog</em></strong></p> <p>Paris, 1940. The City of Light has fallen under German occupation. Among patriotic Parisians, the pursuit of art, culture, and jazz has become a bold act of defiance. So has forbidden love for talented and spirited Jewish teenager Annette Zelman, a student at the Beaux-Arts, and dashing young Catholic poet Jean Jausion. Despite their devout families’ vehement opposition, the young couple finds acceptance at the famed Caf? de Flore, whose habitues includeSimone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Pablo Picasso, Django Reinhardt, and other luminaries of the Latin Quarter.</p> <p>For a time, Annette and Jean feel they have eluded the brute might of the relentless Nazis -- and more immediately, their parents’ threats and demands. But as restrictions on the Jewish community escalate to arrests and deportations, the maleficent forces gathering around the young lovers set them on divergent and tragically inevitable paths.</p> <p>Drawn from never-before-published family letters and other treasures, as well as archival sources and exclusive interviews, Star-Crossed offers us precious insight into the Holocaust and the lives French people bravely led under the Hitler regime. This breathtaking true story of beauty, art, liberation, and the transformative power of love resonates with an intimate story of undying devotion, seen through the prism of 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。
