On the first Sunday in December 1941, an armada of Japanese warplanes appeared suddenly over Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and devastated the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Six months later, in a sea fight north of the tiny atoll of Midway, four Japanese aircraft carriers were sent into the abyss. Pacific Crucible tells the epic tale of these first searing months of the Pacific war, when the U.S. Navy shook off the worst defeat in American military history and seized the strategic initiative.

1812 konnte sich Carl von Clausewitz als Offizier der russischen Armee von der Schlagkraft der französischen Grande Armee überzeugen. Unter diesem Eindruck entwarf er eine Theorie des Krieges. Seine Bestandteile - Politik, Strategie und Taktik - werden untersucht und logischen Regeln unterworfen und politisch-militärische Führungsbegriffe entwickelt - Aufgaben, Verantwortung und Kompetenzen von Politik, Strategie und Taktik werden gegeneinander abgegrenzt. "Der Krieg ist die Fortsetzung der Politik mit anderen Mitteln."

Hedges reported from Sarajevo, and was in the Balkans to witness the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Written between 1717 and 1790, and originally referred to by its author as simply Memoirs, Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography is considered the pioneering example of the genre. In this influential account of the American Dream in action, Franklin recounts his early life, his inventions, his quest for virtue and self-improvement, and his political achievements. The unfinished work is a vivid depiction of life in early America, as well as a relatable and inspiring portrait of one of its revolutionary thinkers.
