Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. The respected British military historian H. P. Willmott presents the first of a three-volume appraisal of the strategic policies of the countries involved in the Pacific War. Remarkable in its scope and depth of research, his thoughtful analysis covers the whole range of political, economic, military, and naval activity in the Pacific. This first volume comprehensively covers events between December 1941 and April 1942, concluding with the Doolittle Raid on April 18. When published in hardcover in 1982, the book was hailed as an eloquent portrayal of great empires on trial that no one should miss. Willmott's stimulating and original approach to the subject remains unmatched even today.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Es hat bis heute gedauert, bis eine populäre Gesamtdarstellung des Kriegsgeschehens von 1914 bis 1918 und seiner politischen Hintergründe möglich wurde, die international Gültigkeit beanspruchen kann. Der renommierte britische Militärhistoriker H. P. Willmott legt sie mit diesem Band vor. Willmott stellt dar, wie es aufgrund neuer Waffentechniken zu Lande, zur See und in der Luft zu Schlachten mit noch nie dagewesener Zerstörungskraft kam. Er dokumentiert das Leiden und Sterben der Soldaten und analysiert nicht nur die Strategien, sondern auch die Mentalitäten der Regierenden und der führenden Militärs. Er arbeitet die Kriegsziele jeder Seite und ihre Veränderung mit dem Kriegsgeschehen heraus. Und er macht in einer Weise, die für die deutsche Tradition der Geschichtsschreibung eher ungewöhnlich ist, deutlich, wie global die Strategien und Ziele des Machtkampfs der Nationen damals schon waren. Eine ungeheure Fülle von dokumentarischem Bildmaterial, von Schriftdokumenten, von Karten und Ablaufdiagrammen geben Willmotts Buch eine bei dem Thema wohl noch nicht erreichte Anschaulichkeit.…
