Navajo Code Talkers: Voices of the Unbreakable Code by Cyril Marlen tells the extraordinary true story of how a group of young Navajo men turned their ancient language into the most secure military code of World War II—one that not even the best enemy cryptographers could break. When American forces fought their way across the Pacific, secure communication became a matter of life and death. Japanese intelligence had cracked nearly every code the Allies used—until the U.S. Marine Corps enlisted the help of the Navajo Nation.

In this deeply researched and vivid account, Cyril Marlen uncovers the astonishing role pigeons played in the most destructive conflict of the twentieth century. Radios could be jammed, batteries failed in freezing cold, and transmissions risked interception. But pigeons, guided only by instinct and loyalty to their home lofts, rose into the air and carried messages across battlefields, seas, and occupied territories. Their journeys were often short, sometimes perilously long, but always fraught with danger from bullets, hawks, storms, and exhaustion.

Machiavelli on War offers a comprehensive interpretation of the philosopher-historian's treatment of war throughout his writings, from poems and memoranda drafted while he was Florence's top official to his posthumous works, The Prince and Discourses on Livy. Christopher Lynch argues that the issue of war permeates the form and content of each of Machiavelli works, the substance of his thoughts, and his own activity as a writer, concluding that he was the first great modern philosopher because he was the first modern philosopher of war.

What happens to the US Army after the battles are over, the citizen soldiers depart, and all that remains is the Regular Army? In this pathbreaking work, Brian Linn argues that in each decade following every major conflict since the War of 1812 the postwar army has undergone a long, painful, and remarkably consistent recovery process as it struggled to build a new model force to replace the "Old Army" that entered the conflict.

Shortly before his death in 1645, the undefeated swordsman Miyamoto Musashi retreated to a cave to live as a hermit. There he wrote five scrolls describing the "true principles" required for victory in the martial arts and on the battlefield. Instead of relying on religion or theory, Musashi based his writings on his own experience, observation, and reason.

The greatest of all Civil War campaigns, Gettysburg was the turning point of the turning point in our nation’s history. Volumes have been written about this momentous three-day battle, but recent histories have tended to focus on the particulars rather than the big picture: on the generals or...

From the legendary antagonism between Athens and Sparta during the Peloponnesian War to the Napoleonic Wars and the two World Wars of the twentieth century, the past is littered with long-term strategic rivalries. History tells us that such enduring rivalries can end in one of three ways: a series of exhausting conflicts in which one side eventually prevails, a peaceful and hopefully orderly transition, or a one-sided collapse. However, in spite of a wealth of historical examples, the future of state rivalries remains a matter of conjecture.

The Art of War by Sun Tzu is one of the oldest known military texts. It’s 13 chapters on strategizing and preparing psychologically for war. This brand new translation from NM Few is fresh and easily digestible.

Strategy, Evolution, and War is a cautionary preview of how artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionize strategy more than any development in the last 3,000 years of military history. Kenneth Payne describes strategy as an evolved package of conscious and unconscious behaviors with roots in our primate ancestry. Our minds were shaped by the need to think about warfare, a constant threat for early humans. As a result, we developed a sophisticated and strategic intelligence.

A Brief Guide to Maritime Strategy is a deliberately compact introductory work aimed at junior seafarers, those who make decisions affecting the sea services, and those who educate seafarers and decision-makers. It introduces listeners to the main theoretical ideas that shape how statesmen and commanders make and execute maritime strategy in times of peace and war.

By 1943, after the catastrophic German defeat at Stalingrad, the Wehmacht's panzer armies gradually lost the initiative on the Eastern Front. The tide of the war had turned. Their combined arms technique, which had swept Soviet forces before it during 1941 and 1942, had lost its edge. Thereafter the war on the Eastern Front was dominated by tank-led offensives and, as Robert Forczyk shows, the Red Army's mechanized forces gained the upper hand, delivering a sequence of powerful blows that shattered one German defensive line after another.

Il colore grigio-verde della divisa e la penna nera rendono riconoscibile ogni alpino. Ma dietro questi elementi c'è molto di più: emergono valori importanti come la lealtà, il coraggio e l'altruismo. Paolo Campanardi, noto a tutti come Gibba, da sempre coltiva una grande passione per il corpo degli alpini (pur non avendo fatto il servizio militare, con suo sommo rimpianto), ha letto numerosi diari di eroici battaglioni e negli ultimi otto anni ha percorso migliaia di chilometri sulle montagne dell'Alto Garda ricercando tracce e testimonianze dei fatti avvenuti durante la Grande guerra.

South of the Norman city of Caen, Verrieres Ridge was seen a key stepping-stone for the British Second Army if it was to break out of the Normandy bridgehead in late July 1944. Imposing in height and containing perfect terrain for armored operations, the Germans viewed it as the lynchpin to their defenses south of the city of Caen and east of the Orne river. Following the failure of British Operation Goodwood on 18-20 July and the containment of the Canadian Operation Atlantic, further Allied attacks to seize the ridge would have to defeat the strongest German armored formation in Normandy.

The era of modern warfare introduced in World War II presented the Allied Powers with one of the more complicated logistical challenges of the century: how to develop an extensive support network that could supply and maintain a vast military force comprised of multiple services and many different nations thousands of miles away from their home ports. The need to keep tanks rolling, airplanes flying, and food and aid in continuous supply was paramount to defeating the Nazi regime.

For the Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, war was synchronic with life. Tzu viewed the world as a network of combat zones where the stakes were high, struggle was the primary mode of being, no one was to be trusted, and survival depended on nothing less than unconditional victory.

Augmented by commentary and anecdotes, this audio edition maintains the pure, near-poetic tone of the original work.
