The Long Shadow of World War II

The Legacy of the War and its Impact on Political and Military Thinking since 1945

2020 marks 75 years since the end of World War II, yet even as the war slips from living memory, its legacies continue to influence current political and military thinking. This anthology will analyze these legacies for a number of countries and regions, including China, Russia, the United States, the Near East, and Germany, illustrating in detail how World War II is not merely a historical event, but a defining moment for current military and political thinking around the globe. This book will therefore be of interest for those interested in history, but also political and military decision makers, and followers of current political and military affairs.

United States Tanks and Tank Destroyers of the Second World War

Michael Green

This comprehensive and superbly illustrated book describes in authoritative detail the characteristics and contribution to victory of these formidable American fighting vehicles.

Only after the Nazis invaded Poland and France did the United States Government authorize mass production of tanks. By the end of the war, American industry had built nearly 90,000 tanks, more than Germany and Great Britain combined. Initially the U.S. Army doctrine saw tanks as primarily for the exploitation role. Later the concept of tank destroyers evolved to counter large-scale German armored offensives. These defensive AFVs included the half-track-based 75mm Gun Motor Carriage M3 and the full-tracked M10, M18, and M36.

Midnight Flight to Nuremberg

The Capture of the Nazi who put Adolf Hitler into Power

Marcus Nannini

The autobiography of C-47 pilot and instructor, First Lieutenant Harry E. Watson, Jr, U.S.A.A.F.

This is the story of an American C-47 'Dakota' pilot who earned three Air Medals, seven Battle Stars, and flew 27 combat missions during the Second World War. As a young U.S. pilot, Harry Watson arrived in Britain as the Battle of Normandy was reaching its crescendo. Thrown immediately into the fray, Harry, along with more than 200 aircraft, set off to carry supplies to the troops fighting in France. But with visibility reduced to zero, the aircraft were ordered to turn back – all did except Harry, who successfully delivered his life-saving cargo of blood and U.S. Army nurses. Based on his own recollections, as told to the author Marcus Nanni, this is Harry Watson's exciting account of the air war, told, unusually, through the words of a transport pilot.
