A new analysis of exactly how Allied and German tanks fought the Battle of the Bulge, one of the great tank battles of World War II.
The Battle of the Bulge raises many questions which, until now, have not been adequately answered: How did the major tank types perform during the battle? What were the specific "lessons learned" from the combat? And did these lessons result in changes to tanks in the subsequent months? Offering detailed answers to these questions, and many more, this book provides a survey of the principal tank and tank-equivalents (such as tank destroyers and Jagdpanzers) that took part in the Ardennes Campaign of December 1944--January 1945. Beginning with a basic overview of the campaign, accompanied by an order of battle of the major armored units, it examines the opposing forces, covering the organization of the two tank forces to explain how they were deployed. Author Steven Zaloga also scrutinizes the technical balance between the opposing sides, comparing armor, mobility, and firepower as well as other important factors such as reliability, crew situational awareness, and tank layout/efficiency. Full of specially commissioned and highly accurate artwork plates of the tanks themselves, as well as fascinating technical data based on cutting-edge research, this title is the definitive guide to tank warfare in the Battle of the Bulge.
Desperate battle for the end of the line and the turn of the flank
In early July of 1863, the opposing armies of the Confederacy and the Union were inexorably drawn together for battle around the town of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. Initially the tactical advantage appeared to be with the advancing Lee, but an outstanding defence from the first Union troops into action, combined with delays and procrastination among the Confederate command, enabled Meade's forces to take up strong defensive positions on rising ground. Nevertheless, Lee determined to engage in a potentially overwhelming assault, which, if successful, would open an invasion of the North and might pressure an end to the civil war. So began the momentous battle which would define the entire conflict. All commanders seek to turn the enemy flank, and, sitting upon a hill, one end of the Union Army line was destined to become famous in military history for the desperate bravery of those who assaulted it and the equally tenacious courage of those who defended it. This is the story of Little Round Top, a fascinating episode, and a battle within a battle, which immortalised the commanders, men and regiments of both sides who fought and died there. This unique Leonaur edition which includes contributions by several authors contains many useful maps and illustrations.

Описание: Basierend auf dem Erfolg von zEine Zusammenfassung des PMBOK(R) Guide - kurz und buendig" in der fuenften Ausgabe, ist eine neue Ausgabe verfasst, die nun vollstaendig auf die sechste Ausgabe des PMBOK(R) Guide (2017) abgestimmt ist. Wenn Sie mit dem PMBOK(R) Guide bereits vertraut sind, wird bereits der Titel dieses Buches Ihre Erwartungen erfuellen. Wenn der PMBOK(R) Guide Ihnen jedoch noch nicht begegnet ist: Der PMBOK(R) Guide (A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge) ist als weltweiter Standard im Projektmanagement anerkannt. Bestaetigt wird dies durch die Tatsache, dass mehr als sechs Millionen Exemplare im Umlauf sind, beginnend mit der ersten Ausgabe aus dem Jahr 1987 bis zur Version 6, die 2017 veroeffentlicht wurde. In dieser Version 6 sind auch agile Konzepte integriert, da diese heutzutage ein wichtiger Bestandteil unserer Projektumgebungen sind. Der zGuide" ist im Original jedoch recht umfangreich, und deshalb bieten wir mit dieser Taschenbuchausgabe eine leichter zugaengliche und verkuerzte Version an, um einem breiteren Publikum einen einfacheren Zugang zu ermoeglichen. Das wirklich Neue an dieser sechsten Ausgabe im Vergleich zu frueheren Ausgaben ist, dass neben einigen kleineren Updates jeder PM-Aspekt - genannt Wissensbereich - nun einen Abschnitt mit dem Titel Ansaetze fuer agile und adaptive Umgebungen enthaelt, in dem beschrieben wird, wie diese Praktiken in Ihre Projekte integriert werden koennen. Ausserdem wird mehr Wert auf das strategische und betriebswirtschaftliche Wissen eines Projektleiters gelegt - einschliesslich der Diskussion der eher strategischen Dokumente zBusiness Case" und zBenefit Management Plan" - die unsere Projekte vorantreiben.Auf organisationsweiter Ebene unterstuetzt der PMBOK Guide (R) einen strukturierten und gut abgestimmten Ansatz fuer einen Projektlebenszyklus und stellt sicher, dass alle Beteiligten (=zStakeholder") die gleiche Sprache sprechen. Es wird die praktische Anwendung von Projektmanagementprozessen verbessern, wenn diese nun von allen verstanden und konsequent angewendet werden. Dieses Taschenbuch ist fuer Projektauftraggeber (Sponsoren), Projektmanager/-leiter und Projektteammitglieder besonders nuetzlich, da dies die drei Schluesselrollen sind, die hier unterschieden werden. Ebenso nuetzlich ist das Buch fuer Projektnebenrollen (zum Beispiel fuer Mitglieder eines Projektmanagementbueros (PMO)). Es unterstuetzt alle Projektbeteiligten inzweierlei Hinsicht:¢ Besseres Verstaendnis ihrer Rolle in Projekten, die auf bewaehrte Praktikenim Projektmanagement beruhen;¢ Verbesserung eines organisationsweiten Projektmanagementansatzes. Kurz gesagt: eine kompakte jedoch komplette Zusammenfassung des PMBOK Guide(R), fuer jedem der mit Projekmanagement beschaeftigt ist, fuer nur a‚¬17,95!
The Battle of Gettysburg, in early July, 1863, began promisingly for Lee and his Confederate forces, but as the fighting progressed it became clear that in a pounding match where Meade's Union force remained nailed defensively to high ground it would take a master stroke on Lee's part for the Confederates to prevail. Attacks to turn the Union flank had failed leading to a decision to launch a concerted direct assault of converging regiments on the centre of the Union line, which was commanded by Hancock. The initiative seemed born of desperation and the Confederate general, Longstreet had little faith in its success. The attacking Confederates were compelled to march for over a mile across a wide expanse of open ground, under the most punishing enemy fire, before they could reach Union lines. Nevertheless, upon the order, the ranks of grey and butternut stepped bravely forward, under the commands of Pickett, Trimble and Pettigrew, and despite suffering fearful losses, some of them actually broke into the lines of the soldiers in blue. There they were killed, captured or faltered and fell back in retreat. 'Pickett's Charge', as this valiant debacle came to be known, was set upon a task almost certain to fail. Only the courage of those who charged is beyond question, for this attack has been the subject of intensive debate and much controversy. This Leonaur book on this pivotal action contains several essential perspectives by different authors and includes many maps and illustrations.

Описание: The experience of a little girl, during three days of a hard fought battle, as portrayed in this volume is certainly of rare occurrence, and very likely has never been realized before. ...
Описание: The Battle of Gettysburg has inspired scrutiny from virtually every angle, but until the first publication of Matt Spruill’s Decisions at Gettysburg in 2011 investigations of critical decisions made by Union and Confederate commanders were not heavily scrutinized. The success of Decisions at Gettysburg launched a series of books exploring critical decisions in various battles and campaigns during the Civil War. In this revised second edition, Spruill updates the nineteen critical decisions, adding a twentieth decision, and aligns the book with others in the Command Decisions in America’s Civil War series.Decisions at Gettysburg, second edition, further defines the critical decisions made by Confederate and Union commanders throughout the battle. Matt Spruill examines the decisions that prefigured the action and shaped the course of battle as it unfolded. Rather than a linear history of the battles, Spruill’s discussion of the critical decisions presents readers with a vivid blueprint of the battle’s development. Exploring the critical decisions in this way allows the reader to progress from a sense of what happened in these battles to why they happened as they did. Complete with maps and a guided tour, Decisions at Gettysburg is an indispensable primer, and readers looking for concise introduction to the battle can tour this sacred ground—or read about it at their leisure—with key insights into the battle and a deeper understanding of the Civil War itself.

Описание: The Battle of Gettysburg lasted only three days but involved more than 160,000 soldiers--Union and Confederate. Seven thousand died outright on the battlefield; hundreds more later succumbed to their wounds. For each of these soldiers, family members somewhere waited anxiously. Some went to Gettysburg themselves in search of their wounded loved ones. Some were already present as soldiers themselves. In this book are extraordinary--and sometimes heartbreaking--stories of the strength of family ties during the Battle of Gettysburg. Fathers and mothers, siblings and spouses all suffered together, even as they drew strength from one another. Their stories are told here with the help of excerpts from diaries, letters and other correspondence, which provide a first-hand account of the human drama of Gettsyburg on the battlefield and the home front.
