Stephen Badsey Bücher

Updated and revised, with all new images throughout, this concise study examines the Franco-Prussian war, a significant conflict which led to the collapse of the Second Empire and the creation of a unified Germany.

With the help of bird's-eye views, this book describes one of World War II's most audacious operations. Market Garden was Montgomery's plan to end the war by the end of 1944, a plan that was to end in disaster.

This publication considers the lessons to be gained for Britain, the British armed forces, and for NATO as a whole, from the Yugoslav wars of dissolution (1991-1999), with particular emphasis on the Kosovo crisis. The papers come from a diverse and high quality mixture of analysts, practitioners and policy-makers. The issues developed here represent a significant advance in the emerging debate on the lessons to be learnt from the Balkan experience, which will shape thinking on defence and international security far into the new millennium.

Focusing on British military doctrine during the First World War and the Boer War, this book explores a critical debate regarding the role and tactics of cavalry amid evolving warfare demands. It challenges contemporary perceptions by demonstrating that the developed doctrine effectively addressed the challenges posed by increased firepower and mass armies. Through this investigation, the book fills a significant gap in the historiography of military thought and practice during this pivotal period.

Kontroverzní operace Market – Garden byla jednou z nejodvážnějších operací druhé světové války. Hluboký průnik tankové kolony spojený se vzdušným výsadkem velkého stylu měl rozhodujícím způsobem prorazit německou obranu. Kdyby operace uspěla, mohla válka skončit ještě v roce 1944. Kombinovaný úder však selhal a nedosáhl svých cílů. Tento film v souvislostech popisuje heroickou obranu britských parašutistů, odvážné pokusy britských tankistů o průlom, ale i sebevražedmé překročení řeky Waal příslušníky 82. výsadkové divize.
