Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The 'iron curtain' was the symbol marking the beginning of the Cold War. It divided the Western nations, including the US, and Eastern Europe into two diametrically opposed ideologies and resultant political systems. In the East, a communist-controlled federation, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, became an international superpower that ruled through oppression, state-domination, and military aggrandizement. Nearly five decades later, that curtain would rise to reveal a host of nations, including Russia itself, in search of openness, freedom, and integration with the West. After a decade of mismanaged Western assertive idealism, the curtain's shadow of distrust and confrontation has returned. Russia is struggling to recover its role as a great power, while the US battles terrorism and international criticism. Following several years of democratic reversals in Russia, the US faces a potential turning point as its vital interests intersect with Russia's. The US should adopt a policy of pragmatic engagement of a still-powerful Russia in order to secure its national security interests.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This study provides a narrative of the United States Army's airborne development that began in the waning years of World War I. Largely uninspired to fully explore this capability during the interwar years, America entered World War II with a fledgling airborne force, incapable of significant contributions on the battlefield. The study picks up the journey at this point, examining the development through the lenses of three airborne case studies, the German invasion of Crete (Operation Merkur), the Allied assault on Sicily (Operation Husky), and the Anglo-American crossing of the Rhine (Operation Varsity). In light of the lessons learned during these three cases, the author offers the airborne development as a 'learning curve.' He examines this progression using specific knowledge attained during each operation, while providing the reader a rich historical narrative of the events. The study uses the airborne story as a vehicle for the examination of innovation's crucial role during wartime. The concluding chapter offers the reader the consensus operational and strategic lessons of the American Airborne development. It also attempts to ascertain the fundamental nature of airborne operations. This is a drama based upon irony, for the Americans effectively seized the German's primacy in airborne operations, in large part due to the effects of Germany's penultimate display of airborne capabilities at Crete.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
