Initially formed to assist in the defence of the city of Metz against French bombing raids, Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel 17 would go on to become one of the most distinguish German fighter units of World War 1. Its first victory was scored by the pilot whose story is inextricably interwoven with that of his unit - the 'Blue Max' recipient Julius Buckler. He was largely responsible for inspiring the unit's unique Esprit de Corps, expressed in its famous and unique 'battle-cry' of 'Malaula!' Indeed, in its final days the unit gained the nickname Zirkus Buckler, or the 'Buckler Circus'. Besides Buckler, Jasta 17 boasted such aces as Karl Strasser, Alfred Fleischer and Christian Donhauser. In addition, the roster included colourful characters like the successful Jewish airman Jakob Wolff, who at over 48 years of age was the oldest German fighter pilot of the war. The story of this illustrious unit is told with many first-hand accounts by Buckler, Fleischer and others, as well as dozens of rare archival photos of the unit's beautifully decorated fighter aircraft.

"A Legacy of Computers and Missiles "is an intensively researched, photo-enhanced discussion of digital computing and missile development in the Twentieth Century, organized in two sections. (No matter what anyone has been told, virtually all of the digital machines ever designed are binary deep down inside. Number representations may have varied, but the binary logic discussed here prevails.) After a bit of early history, The Computing Section begins in earnest with Turing's Bombe used to decrypt Enigma traffic, then investigates one-by-one digital systems from early room-sized serial machines through the beginning of the modern parallel era, ending with disgustingly parallel post 2000 Super-computers. Unlike most computing histories, Achieving Accuracy deals in detail with military computing systems generally omitted for lack of definitive information. (Computer design and computer-controlled missile guidance/ submarine navigation occupied some thirty years of the Author's professional career. ) Achieving Accuracy's missile descriptions and discussions begin for weapon systems existing well before WW2 and cover virtually all US smart bombs, cruise and ballistic missiles of that century. Missile guidance systems have ranged from the V-1's dead reckoning through simple, but jammable radio-controlled, to exceedingly complex self-contained inertial guidance systems discussed at length. The reader may be surprised to learn that a "smart-bomb" flew in 1917, with several different models used in anger in WW2. The Minuteman III leg of the present Triad is described in detail along with a somewhat bizarre set of proposed basing plans for the Peacekeeper Missile that were precursors of the recently proposed "Subway" basing plan for MMIII. Missile legacy includes a sub-section, necessarily less complete, describing Soviet/Russian missilery through 2000, noting that the early Soviet ballistic missile development was based almost entirely on the German V-2.

Excellent . . . A more intimate picture of the dictators thinking about world politics, local power and his relationship to the United States than has been seen before. The New York TimesAnother triumph from one of our best journalists. The Washington Post"Voluminously researched and compulsively readable." Air MailFrom bestselling and Pulitzer Prizewinning author Steve Coll, the definitive story of the decades-long relationship between the United States and Saddam Hussein, and a deeply researched and news-breaking investigation into how human error, cultural miscommunication, and hubris led to one of the costliest geopolitical conflicts of our timeWhen the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, its message was clear: Iraq, under the control of strongman Saddam Hussein, possessed weapons of mass destruction that, if left unchecked, posed grave danger to the world. But when no WMDs were found, the United States and its allies were forced to examine the political and intelligence failures that had led to the invasion and the occupation, and the civil war that followed. One integral question has remained unsolved: Why had Saddam seemingly sacrificed his long reign in power by giving the false impression that he had hidden stocks of dangerous weapons? The Achilles Trap masterfully untangles the people, ploys of power, and geopolitics that led to Americas disastrous war with Iraq and, for the first time, details Americas fundamental miscalculations during its decades-long relationship with Saddam Hussein. Beginning with Saddams rise to power in 1979 and the birth of Iraqs secret nuclear weapons program, Steve Coll traces Saddams motives by way of his inner circle. He brings to life the diplomats, scientists, family members, and generals who had no choice but to defer to their leadera leader directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, as well as the torture or imprisonment of hundreds of thousands more. This was a man whose reasoning was impossible to reduce to a simple explanation, and the CIA and successive presidential administrations failed to grasp critical nuances of his paranoia, resentments, and inconsistencieseven when the stakes were incredibly high.Calling on unpublished and underreported sources, interviews with surviving participants, and Saddams own transcripts and audio files, Coll pulls together an incredibly comprehensive portrait of a man who was convinced the world was out to get him and acted accordingly. A work of great historical significance, The Achilles Trap is the definitive account of how corruptions of power, lies of diplomacy, and vanityon both sidesled to avoidable errors of statecraft, ones that would enact immeasurable human suffering and forever change the political landscape as we know it.

Björn Diemel wird von seiner Frau gezwungen, ein Achtsamkeits-Seminar zu besuchen, um seine Ehe ins Reine zu bringen, sich als guter Vater zu beweisen und die etwas aus den Fugen geratene Work-Life-Balance wieder herzustellen. Denn Björn ist ein erfolgreicher Anwalt und hat dementsprechend sehr wenig Zeit für seine Familie. Der Kurs trägt tatsächlich Früchte und Björn kann das Gelernte sogar in seinen Job integrieren, allerdings nicht ganz auf die erwartete Weise. Denn als sein Mandant, ein brutaler und mehr als schuldiger Großkrimineller, beginnt, ihm ernstliche Probleme zu bereiten, bringt er ihn einfach um - und zwar nach allen Regeln der Achtsamkeit.Achtsam morden ist die Geschichte eines bewussten und entschleunigten Mordes, der längst überfällige Schulterschluss zwischen Achtsamkeitsratgeber und Krimi, vor allem aber ein origineller Unterhaltungsroman.

Seine Pilger-Fragen nach Leben, Tod und Erfüllung bekommen plötzlich eine sehr praxisnahe Relevanz.
Er war ein Star des Sports, noch vor den Fußballhelden von Bern: der einzigartige Hermann Buhl. 1953 bezwang er den 8125 Meter hohen Gipfel des Nanga Parbat im Alleingang, 1957 zählte er zu den vier Erstbesteigern des Broad Peak. Im Rahmen der Ausgabe dieses Buches werden seine Tagebücher von beiden Expeditionen erstmals vollständig veröffentlicht - eine Sensation in der Bergliteratur.
Der operative Einsatz von Panzern wurde schon vor dem II. Weltkrieg erdacht, in England, Frankreich, Russland und Deutschland - mit je ganz eigenen Schwerpunkten und Ideen. General Heinz Guderian gehörte zu den brillanten Köpfen der Wehrmacht, theoretisch und auf dem Schlachtfeld. Als Veteran des I. Weltkrieges studierte er das neue Waffensystem Panzer, bei Freund und Feind. In dieser Schrift von 1937 analysiert Guderian die furchtbaren Grabenkämpfe des I. Weltkriegs, das Aufkommen der Panzer und die Art und Weise, wie diese zukünftig eingesetzt werden müssten, um das Grauen des Krieges kurz zu halten. Denn einen langen Krieg, das wusste Guderian, würde Deutschland notwendig verlieren. Bevor also der erste Schuss des II. Weltkriegs fiel, sind hier einige seiner Merkmale vorweggenommen: der Blitzkrieg, die Panzerschlachten, die neuen motorisierten und mechanisierten Schützen. Eine Schrift von prophetischer Brillanz - mit allen Abbildungen des Originals und erstmals auch mit farbigen Karten!

Straggling behind the mild 2003 success of cartoonist Chris Ware's first facsimile collection of his miscellaneous sketches, notes, and adolescent fantasies arrives this second volume, updating weary readers with Ware's cliched and outmoded insights from the late twentieth century.Working directly in pen and ink, watercolor, and white-out whenever he makes a mistake, Ware has cannily edited out all legally sensitive and personally incriminating material from his private journals, carefully recomposing each page to simulate the appearance of an ordered mind and established aesthetic directive. All phone numbers, references to ex-girlfriends, "false starts," and embarrassing experiments with unfamiliar drawing media have been generously excised to present the reader with the most pleasant and colorful sketchbook reading experience available. Included are Ware's frustrated doodles for his book covers, angry personal assaults on friends, half-finished comic strips, and lengthy and tiresome fulminations of personal disappointments both social and sexual, as well as his now-beloved drawings of the generally miserable inhabitants of the city of Chicago. All in all, a necessary volume for fans of fine art, water-based media, and personal diatribe. This hardcover is attractively designed and easy to resell.

In April 1291, a Mamluk army laid siege to Acre, the last great Crusader fortress in the Holy Land. For six weeks, the siege dragged on until the Mamluks took the outer wall, which had been breached in several places. The Military Orders drove back the Mamluks temporarily, but three days later the inner wall was breached. King Henry escaped, but the bulk of the defenders and most of the citizens perished in the fighting or were sold into slavery. The surviving knights fell back to their fortress, resisting for ten days, until the Mamluks broke through. This book depicts the dramatic collapse of this great fortress, whose demise marked the end of the Crusades in the Holy Land.

Includes Conwell's 'Acres of Diamonds' and Robert Shackleton's 'His Life and Achievements'. 'Acres of Diamonds' is a lecture that Russell Conwell, founder of Temple University, delivered more than 6,000 times across the country. Through this lecture, Conwell debunks the idea that it is noble to be poor, an idea that far too many Christians share. He illustrates that it is our duty as Christians to use our gifts to honestly earn riches, because you can do more good with riches than without. Conwell successfully illustrates the difference between the popular expression 'money is the root of all evil' and the complete Biblical passage which states 'the love of money is the root of all evil'. The love of money is idolatry, but money itself is neither good nor evil. It is simply a tool which may be used for either good or evil. In these pages we learn the virtues of earning money through honest, hard work. We learn to look for opportunities to serve others in our own back yard by simply finding a need and filling it. If you wish to be great, begin with who you are right now, where you are right now. Follow these principles, and you will uncover your own acres of diamonds.
