Yet how true was this statement? In this ground-breaking new book, military historian Ricky D Phillips tackles exactly this question and lists, for the first time, the entire battlefield career of Napoleon, battle by battle, from the very first to the very last, discussing his tactics, his strategies and compiling the methods by which he waged war in a dazzling career spanning three decades.With each battle laid out in strategic context, along with an easy-to-read grid system for statistics, facts and figures, all compounded with his own fast-paced narrative and with battle maps aplenty, Ricky D Phillips presents a stunning new chapter of Napoleonic history, uncovering the battles of Napoleon piece by piece in a way never before attempted."Sixty Battles" is the first book to cover every single battle in Napoleon's career in depth and detail and is set to become the cornerstone of any Napoleonic library.

Book Synopsis Sixty Miles of Border by : Terry Kirkpatrick

Download or read book Sixty Miles of Border written by Terry Kirkpatrick. This book was released on 2012-07-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The border between the United States and Mexico is a no-man’s land. Drugs, guns, and human beings are the cargo of choice in a multi-billion dollar illegal empire dominated by powerful cartels, murderous street gangs, and corrupt government officials. Against them stand the Special Agents of the United States Customs Service—men and women who fight to uphold the law and protect the U.S. on both sides of the border. Terry Kirkpatrick worked one of the toughest jobs in America: a U.S. Customs agent on the border between Arizona and Mexico. He’s seen it all and done more for over twenty years in a job that many officers quit before they make it six months. These are the gritty and graphic true stories of Terry and his fellow “Border Rats” as they patrol America’s modern badlands, where bullets are currency and blood is taken as payment. From the inhuman conditions people suffer under to get onto American soil, to working with blatantly crooked military leaders, to some of the most insane and unbelievable situations ever survived, readers will experience the chaos that has engulfed the U.S. border in the words of a man who has been there. 60 Miles of Border sheds an unsparing light into the life of customs agents, their dealings on the border, the effect on their daily lives—and an unsparing look at one of the most hotly debated and controversial topics in modern America.

Book Synopsis The Face of Battle by : John Keegan

Download or read book The Face of Battle written by John Keegan. This book was released on 1983-01-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Keegan's groundbreaking portrayal of the common soldier in the heat of battle -- a masterpiece that explores the physical and mental aspects of warfare The Face of Battle is military history from the battlefield: a look at the direct experience of individuals at the "point of maximum danger." Without the myth-making elements of rhetoric and xenophobia, and breaking away from the stylized format of battle descriptions, John Keegan has written what is probably the definitive model for military historians. And in his scrupulous reassessment of three battles representative of three different time periods, he manages to convey what the experience of combat meant for the participants, whether they were facing the arrow cloud at the battle of Agincourt, the musket balls at Waterloo, or the steel rain of the Somme. The Face of Battle is a companion volume to John Keegan's classic study of the individual soldier, The Mask of Command: together they form a masterpiece of military and human history.
