Description:
Osprey Pub Co, 2002. New book, 95 pages, ESS028. The Palestine War has been by far the most important military encounter in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. This book examines the origins of the war and its progression through two distinct stages: the guerrilla warfare between the Arab and Jewish communities of Mandatory Palestine, and the conventional inter-state war between the State of Israel and the invading Arab armies. In doing so it assesses the participants, their war aims, strategies and combat performance. Finally, it examines the reasons for Israel's success in the face of seemingly impossible odds and for the failure of the Arab nations to turn their military and numerical superiority into victory on the ground. . Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description:
World Almanac Library, 2005. New book, 64 pages. This book describes the ongoing struggle for land, power, and cultural and religious survival between the Jewish nation of Israel and the Palestinian and other Arabic-speaking people of the Middle East. Beginning with the contradictory promises that Great Britain made to the Arabs and Jews about Palestine during World War II, this area of the world has been - and continues to be - a land in dispute. Wars, protests, and multiple acts of terror have been punctuated by attempts at peace agreements, often brokered by the United States. This book tells the history of that conflict, and it explores why the people of the region continue their struggle with one another as they seek peace, cultural and religious autonomy, and prosperity.. Pictorial Cover. As New. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

Description:
Simon & Schuster, 2007. New book, 386 pages. From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb comes this brilliant account of the post-war superpower arms race, climaxing during the Reagan-Gorbachev decade when the United States and the Soviet Union came within scant hours of nuclear war -- and then nearly agreed to abolish nuclear weapons. In a narrative that reads like a thriller, Rhodes reveals how the Reagan administration's unprecedented arms build-up in the early 1980s led the Soviets to conclude that the U.S. must be preparing for a nuclear war -- only for Reagan, out of deep conviction, to launch the arms-reduction campaign of his second presidential term and set the stage for the famous 1986 summit with Gorbachev in Reykjavik, and the breakthroughs that followed. Drawing on personal interviews with both Soviet and U.S. participants, and on a wealth of new documentation that has become available only in the past ten years, Rhodes recounts what actually happened…

Don Mills, Ontario, Canada: Stoddart Publishing, 1994. New book, some shelf wear to jacket. 392 pages. The Cold War was more or a global conflict than either WW1 or WW2. Far more than a confrontation between states, it was a total war between economic and social systems, an industrial test to destruction. The author reveals how the West built an economic alliance that overpowered the Soviet economy while also unleashing global economic forces that today challenge the traditional nation-state..

Description:
Aurum Press, 1992. Used book, rubbing wear to jacket, internally fine. 493 pages. The aim of Fred Inglis's dazzling and provocative book is to help us to reappraise the history of the Cold War, and to understand the influence that it has had upon our lives and opinions. Within the brisk narrative history of the years from 1945 to 1990 which forms the backbone of the book are interspersed chapters of 'Biography' and 'Fictions'. The biographies are of figures, not always well-known, who were in one way or another either heroes or victims of the Cold War. The 'Fictions' chapters explore the way in which Cold War themes were reflected in the popular culture of the day - in films, such as The Magnificent Seven and Doctor Strangeglove, and in the novels of writers like Ian Fleming and John le Carre.. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description:
Osprey Pub Co, 2012. New book, 96 pages, CAM244. On the night of 1-2 April 1982, the Argentinian Junta led by Gen. Leopoldo Galtieri made its move against the Falkland Islands. On 3 April British Prime Minister Mrs. Margaret Thatcher faced an appalled and furious House of Commons to announce that Argentine armed forces had landed on British sovereign territory; had captured the men of Royal Marine detachment NP8901; had run up the Argentine flag at Government House; and had declared the islands and their population to be Argentine. An immediate response was required and a task force was rapidly assembled to head into the South Atlantic and retake the islands. From this point until the Argentine surrender on 14 June, the British forces fought what was in many ways a 19th-century style colonial campaign at the end of extended supply lines some 8,000 miles from home. This volume will detail the major stages of the land campaign to retake the islands, focusing on the San Carlos landings, the battle for…

In a devestating strike, she was hit by three bombs, two of which exploded inside her hull, killing nineteen of her crew and leaving many others badly injured. Within minutes, Coventry had capsized, and would finally sink off Pebble Island the following day. The loss of HMS Coventry was deeply traumatic; it was the first occasion since the Second World War that a British captain and his crew had to abandon a stricken ship and take to life rafts in the cold and unforgiving waters of the South Atlantic..

Description:
John Wiley & Sons, 2009. New book, 414 pages. It was the golden age of cloak and dagger. In the years following the allied victory in World War II, a new breed of men and women entered the U.S. intelligence services, joining those who had survived the war to carry on a covert campaign against a new and wily adversary, the Soviet Union. Naval intelligence has always been acknowledged as one of the key arenas in the Cold War intelligence struggle, but the true details and drama of this fierce competition have remained obscure - until now. Peopled with a motley array of spies, moles, double agents, defectors, techies, military officers, policy wonks, politicians, and more, this comprehensive account goes beyond the previous books about submarine confrontations and accidents to explore the entire spectrum of naval intelligence.. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
