I-400 Japan's Secret Aircraft-Carrying Strike Submarine

Author: Henry Sakaida, Gary Nila, Koji Takaki  | Publisher: Hikoki  | 2006 | Pages: 144 | PDF | 77.8 MB 

Description: The I-400 "super submarine" was one of the most monstrous creations to emerge from the Second World War and in its time it was the largest submarine ever built. It was considered to have been one of Japan's most secret weapons -- indeed the Allies remained unaware of its existence until it surrendered in late August 1945. At more than 400 ft long, weighing 5,700 tons, carrying a crew of 200 and possessing a range of over 50,000 miles, the I-400 carried three Seiran attack floatplanes in a hangar built on to its deck ahead of the massive conning tower. The Imperial Japanese Navy tasked the I-400 with a secret mission to attack American cities and to destroy the Panama Canal. This book is the result of many years of meticulous research. The authors have traced and interviewed three of the original six pilots slated to fly the Seirans on their hazardous missions. They have revealed -- for the first time -- the story their aircraft being painted in fake US markings for their final mission.The book contains hundreds of astonishing photographs, many previously unpublished, showing the I-400 from both outside and inside as well as its hangars and aircraft.

Before Pornography: Erotic Writing in Early Modern England

Author: Ian Frederick Moulton | Publisher: Oxford University Press  | Date: 2000 |  Pages: 282 PDF | 16 MB 

Description: Before Pornography explores the relationship between erotic writing, masculinity, and national identity in Renaissance England. Drawing on both manuscripts and printed texts, and incorporating insights from modern feminist theory and queer studies, the book argues that pornography is a historical phenomenon: while the representation of sexual activity exists in nearly all cultures, pornography does not. The book includes analyses of the social significance of eroticism in such canonical texts as Sidney's Defense of Poesy and Spenser's Faerie Queen.

Humanitarian Intervention: Assisting the Iraqi Kurds in Operation Provide Comfort, 1991

Department of the Army | 2004 | ISBN: N/A | English | 294 pages | PDF | 3.9 MB

Humanitarian Intervention is an operational study of the U.S.-led relief effort PROVIDE COMFORT, hastily organized in the spring of 1991 in response to the international outcry to stop the suffering and dying of the Iraqi Kurds who had been brutally suppressed in the aftermath of DESERT STORM and had fled across a mountainous border into Turkey. Gordon W. Rudd documents and describes this challenging operation involving joint and multinational forces. His study validates the capacity of military forces, well trained for war, not only to adapt quickly for humanitarian relief missions without specialized preparation but also to work alongside civilian relief agencies attempting to assist the refugees, requiring significant cooperation between the two groups. Today the potential of the new round of military-led peace operations to reduce turmoil and conflict-and, in effect, contribute to shaping the international environment-is significant, and soldiers now deployed in distant lands amidst unfamiliar people in the service of their nation will find Rudd's instructive perspective and record of the Army's experience invaluable.

The Army Command Post and Defense Reshaping 1987-1997

Center of Military History United States Army | 2008 | ISBN: N/A | English | 243 pages | PDF | 1.9 MB

The end of the Cold War initiated major changes in the global security environment that the United States could not ignore. These changes affected security requirements, forces, and missions that had guided the country since the end of World War II. Another “New Look” was needed, one that recognized the uncertainty inherent in the absence of a single rival power. Domestic pressures for a “peace dividend” provided additional impetus for a comprehensive restructuring of the nation’s defenses. Army leaders responded almost immediately, agreeing that a more flexible, more technology-capable ground force was needed, one able to react to a much broader variety of threats and contingencies. But deciding how that goal could be best realized would prove illusive. Dr. Mark Sherry’s The Army Command Post and Defense Reshaping, 1987–1997, examines this tumultuous period in depth. The author relates how the efforts of Army leaders to develop options for change were soon overtaken by actions of the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff regarding Army size, structure, and missions...

Leyte: The Return to the Philippines

Center of Military History United States Army | 1993 | ISBN: N/A | English | 442 pages | PDF | 17.4 MB

United States Army in World War II
With the Leyte Campaign the War in the Pacific entered a decisive stage. The period of limited offensives, bypassing, and island hopping was virtually over. American troops in greater numbers than ever before assembled in the Pacific Theater, supported by naval and air forces of corresponding size, fought and overcame Japanese forces of greater magnitude than any previously met. Though the spotlight is on the front-line fighting, the reader will find in this volume a faithful description of all arms and services performing their missions. The account is not exclusively an infantry story. It covers as well the support of ground fighting on Leyte by large-scale naval operations and by land-based air power under the most adverse conditions. In addition, careful attention to logistical matters, such as the movement of supplies and the evacuation of the wounded, gives the reader a picture of the less spectacular activities of an army in battle.

Native Americans: An Encyclopedia of History, Culture, and Peoples

Publisher: ABC-CLIO | ISBN: 0874368367 | 1998 | PDF | 868 pages | 6 Mb

Featuring Native American groups from the northern reaches of Canada to the Rio Grande, this encyclopedia presents basic information about each tribal nation in a consistent manner. Organized geographically, each section begins with an introduction to the area and its original inhabitants. Tribal entries follow, with some smaller related groups discussed together. Each article includes sections on location, population, language, history, religion, government, customs, dwellings, diet, key technology, trade, notable arts, transportation, dress, and war/ weapons. A contemporary section follows, with information on overnment/reservations, economy, legal status, and daily life. Pritzker (the author of books on Ansel Adams, Mathew Brady, and Edward Curtis) is one of the few authors to attempt a work of this size alone. His presentation is even-handed, although some sections, like art, seem less thorough than others. Pritzker manages for the most part to avoid the extensive duplication found in the more expensive Gale Encyclopedia of Native American Tribes (LJ 5/15/98), but a few small groups, such as the Shinnecock, are excluded. Articles do not have bibliographic references, and citations of books on individual tribes are not included in the bibliography. Still, this is a good choice for public and school libraries that have other options for bibliographic sources.

Religious identities in Henry VIII's England

Publisher: Ashgаte Рublishing, Ltd. | 2006 | ISBN: 0754653900 | PDF | 291 pages | 1.12 MB
Henry VIII's decision to declare himself supreme head of the church in England, and thereby set himself in opposition to the authority of the papacy, had momentous consequences for the country and his subjects. At a stroke people were forced to reconsider assumptions about their identity and loyalties, in rapidly shifting political and theological circumstances. Whilst many studies have investigated Catholic and Protestant identities during the reigns of Elizabeth and Mary, much less is understood about the processes of religious identity-formation during Henry's reign.In this volume Peter Marshall explores a wide range of evidence that underlines the complex web of overlapping and competing identities that people were forced to assume as a religiously conservative king sought to take control of his national church. Investigating broad issues of conversion, polemic and propaganda, scripture, exile, forgery and miracles, as well as looking at specific cases of individuals and events, a rich picture is built up of the ambiguities and paradoxes of the early reformation process in England.Consisting of three entirely new chapters, and eight previously published but updated essays, this volume provides a fascinating insight into the complex religious developments of early sixteenth-century England. As Tudor religious history enters a 'post-revisionist' phase that acknowledges the strength and vitality of traditional religious culture, whilst reasserting the broad appeal of the evangelical message, this volume provides a timely reassessment and critique of the subject.

An Uncounselled King: Charles I and the Scottish Troubles, 1637-1641

Publisher: Cambridge University Press | 2004 | ISBN: 052152007X | PDF | 368 pages | 10.2 MB

The concept of kingship as Charles I understood it was challenged by the Covenanters in a struggle of protest over the government of Scotland. Although many aspects of this episode have received historical attention, Charles's own role has not hitherto been investigated in detail. Using a large body of newly available evidence, Dr Donald here attempts to redress the balance, and in doing so offers a substantially new perspective on the Scottish troubles in the crisis years of 1637-41. This study sheds light on the processes whereby Charles, with counsel and yet often in spite of it, tried to uphold his case.

The Caribbean Slave: A Biological History

Publisher: Cambridge University Press | 2002 | ISBN: 0521524709 | PDF | 292 pages | 10.5 MB

This study focuses on the black biological experience in slavery, in the Caribbean. It begins with a consideration of the rapidly changing disease environment after the arrival of the Spaniards; it also looks at the slave ancestors in their West African homeland and examines the ways in which the nutritional and disease environments of that area had shaped its inhabitants. In a particularly innovative chapter, he considers the epidemiological and pathological consequences of the middle passage for newly enslaved blacks. The balance of the book is devoted to the health of the black slave in the West Indies. Using the general health and level of nutrition of the island whites as a control, Kiple pays especially close attention to the role that nutrition played in the development of diseases. The study closes with a look at the continuing demographic difficulties of the black West Indian from the abolition of slavery.

Empire, Colony, Genocide: Conquest, Occupation and Subaltern Resistance in World History

Publisher: Berghahn Books | 2008 | ISBN: 1845454529 | PDF | 480 pages | 13.6 MB

In 1944, Raphael Lemkin coined the term genocide to describe a foreign occupation that destroyed or permanently crippled a subject population. In this tradition, Empire, Colony, Genocide embeds genocide in the epochal geopolitical transformations of the past 500 years: the European colonization of the globe, the rise and fall of the continental land empires, violent decolonization, and the formation of nation states. It thereby challenges the customary focus on twentieth-century mass crimes and shows that genocide and ethnic cleansing have been intrinsic to imperial expansion. The complexity of the colonial encounter is reflected in the contrast between the insurgent identities and genocidal strategies that subaltern peoples sometimes developed to expel the occupiers, and those local elites and creole groups that the occupiers sought to coopt. Presenting case studies on the Americas, Australia, Africa, Asia, the Ottoman Empire, Imperial Russia, and the Nazi Third Reich, leading authorities examine the colonial dimension of the genocide concept as well as the imperial systems and discourses that enabled conquest. Empire, Colony, Genocide is a world history of genocide that highlights what Lemkin called the role of the human group and its tribulations.

The Two Cities: Medieval Europe, 1050-1320

Publisher: Routledge | 1993 | ISBN: 0415096820 | PDF | 616 pages | 11.1 MB

The Two Cities is a history of Western Christendom in the high middle ages. Assuming no prior knowledge of the period, it nevertheless seeks to explore the medieval mentality in greater depth than could be gained from a conventional outline of political events. Physical and material conditions, religious belief and organization, political structures, and medieval perceptions of the world, are presented as parts of an integrated whole. Running through the book is the perceived tension, at the heart of the medieval world view, between the spiritual and material sides of men's nature, the two cities of the title. The author's extensive use of primary sources brings character and immediacy to a rich and comprehensive book.

From Transformation to Combat: The First Striker Brigade at War

Center of Military History United States Army | 2007 | ISBN: N/A | English | 83 pages | PDF | 2.5 MB

Between November 2003 and October 2004, after four years of planning and preparation, the Army’s first Stryker-equipped force received its baptism by combat on the plains of Iraq. The deployment of the 2d Infantry Division’s 3d Brigade challenged more than just the Army’s ability to field a new type of combat unit or a new piece of equipment. It sought to showcase and validate new information-age technologies, doctrines, and organizations that could serve as models for the future transformation of the service’s fighting forces. Testing the Army’s very ability to make key cultural changes in the way that it trained, led, fought, and supplied its forces in the field, the new brigade would have to prove more agile, more flexible, and more deadly than its predecessors. This study, prepared at the U.S. Army Center of Military History by Lt. Col. Mark J. Reardon and Dr. Jeffery A. Charlston, explores the origin, development, and initial combat experience of this unique unit, the first installment of an “Interim Force” that would pave the way toward the Army of the future.
