This brief and illuminating account of the ideas of worldorder prevalent in the Elizabethan age and later is anindispensable companion for readers of the great writers of thesixteenth and seventeenth centuries—Shakespeare and the Elizabethandramatists, Donne and Milton, among many others. The basic medievalidea of an ordered Chain of Being is studied by Professor Tillyardin the process of its various transformations by the dynamic spiritof the Renaissance. Among his topics are: Angels; the Stars andFortunes; the Analogy between Macrocosm and Microcosm; the FourElements; the Four Humours; Sympathies; Correspondences; and theCosmic Dance—ideas and symbols which inspirited the minds andimaginations not only of the Elizabethans but of all men of theRenaissance.
On 22 June 1941, the German army invaded the Soviet Union, onehundred fifty divisions advancing on three axes in a surpriseattack that overwhelmed and destroyed whatever opposition theRussians were able to muster. The German High Command was under theimpression that the Red Army could be destroyed west of the DneprRiver and that there would be no need for conducting operations incold, snow, and mud. They were wrong. In reality, the extreme conditions of the German war in Russiawere so brutal that past experiences simply paled before them.Everything in Russia--the land, the weather, the distances, andabove all the people--was harder, harsher, more unforgiving, andmore deadly than anything the German soldier had ever facedbefore. Based on the recollections of four veteran German commanders ofthose battles, FIGHTING IN HELL describes in detail what happenedwhen the world's best-publicized "supermen" met the world's mostbrutal fighting. It is not a tale for the squeamish.
In the spring of 1944, 120,000 Allied soldiers crossed theEnglish Channel in the most ambitious invasion force everassembled. Rangers, paratroopers, infantry, and armored personnel,these soldiers--some who had just cut their teeth in Africa andSicily and some who were brand-new to war--joined a force aimed atthe heart of Europe and Hitler’s defenses. On the morning of June6, D-Day began. And in the hours that followed, thousands losttheir lives, while those who survived would be changedforever No other chronicle of D-Day can match Gerald Astor'sextraordinary work--a vivid first-person account told with stunningimmediacy by the men who were there. From soldiers who wadedthrough the bullet-riddled water to those who dropped behind enemylines, from moments of terror and confusion to acts of incrediblecamaraderie and heroism, June 6, 1944 plunges us intohistory in the making--and the most pivotal battle ever waged.
Part of the briefing included familiarizing the men with theenemy uniforms. Private Robert “Lightnin” Hayes had thisrecollection to add: “I remember the day we were assembled in atent for the first time and an officer told us where we were goingto jump. He then paused to watch our reactions. There was a sandtable near by with a facsimile of the terrain on which we weregoing to drop. There were tw...
September 17, 1944. Thousands of Screaming Eagles–101stAirborne Division paratroopers–descend from the sky over Holland,dropping deep behind German lines in a daring daylight mission toseize and secure the road leading north to Arnhem and the Rhine.Their success would allow the Allied army to advance swiftly intoGermany. The Screaming Eagles accomplish their initial objectiveswithin hours, but keeping their sections of “Hell’s Highway” opentakes another seventy-two days of fierce round-the-clock fightingagainst crack German troops and tank divisions. Drawing on interviews with more than six hundred paratroopers,George E. Koskimaki chronicles, with vivid firsthand accounts, thedramatic, never-before-told story of the Screaming Eagles’ valiantstruggle. Hell’s Highway also tellsof the Dutch citizens andmembers of the underground who were liberated after five years ofNazi oppression and never forgot America’s airborne heroes. Thisrenowned force risked their lives for the freedom of a
The fighting that waged across the Philippines during WorldWar II ranks among the most vicious in the annals of war. Nearly80,000 Americans and Filipinos were taken prisoner on Bataan, thename of which is forever linked with the notorious "death march."During the three years that Japan occupied the archipelago, 130,000American and Filipinos were killed. Prisoners in Japanese prisoncamps were 10 times as likely to die in captivity as soldiers heldby the Germans. When they returned to retake the islands, Americantroops preferred not to take any prisoners at all. Gerald Astorgives voice to the soldiers who participated in this gruesomeperiod of world military history. --This text refers to an outof print or unavailable edition of this title.
A battle is like just. The frenzy passes. Consequence remains." Such are the observations made and ill-gotten lessons learned in this fic tional autobiographical narrative of breathtaking range and power.Ross Leckie not only presents a vivid re-creation of the great strug gle o.f the Punic wars and the profoundly bloody battle for Rome,but succeeds in bringing the almost mythical figure of Hannibal to life. Introspective, educated on the Greeks, but steeped in animus for Rome, Hannibal has never been presented quite like this.

Until World War II aircraft had played only a minor role incombat, but with the RAF and Luftwaffe fiercely dueling in theBattle of Britain it was apparent that air superiority would be thedeciding factor in the war. The Eighth Air Force quickly grew fromits first modest effort into the mightiest aerial armada inhistory, eventually launching thousand-plane raids. WhileFortresses and Liberators attacked factories, fuel supplies, andtransportation networks, Lightnings, Thunderbolts, and Mustangsshot enemy fighters from the skies. But the road to victory was paved with sacrifice. From itsinaugural mission on July 4, 1942, until V-E Day, the Eighth AirForce lost more men than did the entire United States Marine Corpsin all its campaigns in the Pacific. The Mighty Eighth chroniclesthe testimony of the pilots, bombardiers, navigators, and gunnerswho daily put their lives on the line. Their harrowing accountsrecall the excitement and terror of dogfights against Nazi aces,maneuvering explosive-laden aircr
