James F. Dunnigan Bücher

An indispensable guide to how wars are fought, James F. Dunnigan's classic text has been enormously popular with citizens, professional soldiers, and journalists alike. Now, it's been revised to include a stunning array of new subjects. From the cutting edge of cyberwar to the current concern about terrorism, How to Make War presents a clear picture of complex weapons, armed forces, and tactics. Describing a new world order, one with a greater number of equipped players than the "Big Two" (the United States and the former Soviet Union), this updated edition features all the elements of traditional warfare, along with a discussion of terrorist techniques; nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons; and Third World ballistic missiles. Past editions of How to Make War were chillingly accurate in assessing and predicting the outcomes of all the major conflicts in the past two decades. Loaded with expertise and the latest information, this edition is an essential reference for any military library –– and a work that forewarns, and forearms, the Free World for the conflicts ahead.

From the acclaimed authors of A Quick and Dirty Guide to War comes the first full account of what really happened during the Persian Gulf War. It reveals the details of the immense operation; of Iraq won't solve the problems of the Gulf; nd hardware earned their huge cost, and which didn't; what the media was not allowed to report; and what prolonged the war, and hastened its end. 8 maps; 20 charts.

"Dirty Little Secrets of World War II " exposes the dark, irreverent, misunderstood, and often tragicomic aspects of military operations during World War II, many of them virtually unknown even to military buffs. Like its successful predecessor, "Dirty Little Secrets," Dunnigan and Nofi's new book vividly brings to life all theaters and participants of the war. Revelations include:- The real death count for the war, and why it has never been previously released.- The "new age" general who refused to smoke or drink, who lived on a vitamin-enriched diet, who opposed animal experimentation, and who regularly consulted his astrologer. - How equipment developed for the war led to such modern high-tech innovations as "smart bombs," electronic warfare, and nuclear missles. - The lackadaisical relationship between Germany and Japan throughout the war.- Tricky bits of information about the lingering effects of the war -- like the thousands of live shells and mines that are still buried in Europe and off the East Coast of America.

Tváří v tvář globální hrozbě kybernetického terorismu. Vojenský expert a zpravodajský analytik ve své knize vysvětluje nová pravidla kybernetické války - v čem spočívá, co by se mohlo stát a jak se máme bránit, abychom se nestali figurkou v šachové partii. Od scénářů skutečných útoků po vysvětlení, co jsou super zombie, červi a monstrózní viry, od kybernetických bojovníků po největší nebezpečí, které ozbrojeným silám hrozí, podává Dunnigan jasné a výstižné ponaučení o tom, jak se bránit neviditelnému nepříteli, s jakým jsme se ještě nesetkali.
