It is an analysis of the "intelligence cycle" that turns raw data into useful information about capabilities and intentions and then brings it to the attention of the decision-makers. Who uses many examples of all kinds of extraordinary decisions and deceptions from history to show how often and badly things can go wrong

Западные окраины Российской империи
2006 | М. Долбилов | Новое литературное обозрение | ISBN: 586793425Х | русский | DJVU | 606 pages | 14.8 Mb
Западные окраины были наиболее плотно заселенной и развитой в экономическом отношении частью империи Романовых. Интенсивность политических процессов на этих землях также была несравненно выше, чем в других частях империи. Именно здесь возникли еврейский, польский и украинский вопросы, сохранявшие свою актуальность вплоть до краха Российской империи.

The Gulf War 1991
Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 0415968526 | edition 2003 | PDF | 89 pages | 12 mb
The Gulf War of 1991 heralded a new type of warfare - one dominated by speed and high technology, that yielded a remarkably low level of casualties among the Allied forces. Just under a million Allied troops were deployed to the Gulf region, where they faced not only the extreme heat, but also biological, chemical and suspected nuclear threats. This book assesses both Operation Desert Storm and Operation Desert Shield, examining each forces strategies, and the political and military figures who were involved on both sides. The operational side of Desert Shield is also detailed in full.

Arthur and the Anglo Saxon Wars
Publisher: Osprey Publishing | ISBN: 1841761656 | edition 2000 | PDF | 17 pages | 15,5 mb
In the minds of most the name 'King Arthur' conjures up images of an armour-clad king surrounded by his loyal knights. It is more likely that the real King Arthur, if he truly existed, was a Romano-British warlord in the dark days that followed the collapse or Roman rule in Britain. This book looks at the realities behind the myth of king Arthur against the backdrop of invasion as a nation was forged on the bloody anvil of war.

Bill Gunston - Nimrod: The Centenarian Aircraft
Spellmount | 2009 | ISBN: 0752452703 | 160 pages | PDF | 28.63 MB
For the first time and with previously unpublished data, this book traces the complete history of the world’s first jet airliner, and how this aircraft was developed into a succession of military aircraft named Nimrod. One chapter contains much information on a remarkable Nimrod version that was unfortunately abandoned, while another deals with a version of the Nimrod that was previously secret, and contains information never previously published in a book. A particular feature of this title is that each aircraft is illustrated by a detailed cutaway drawing.

Средневековая Испания
2006 | Аделина Рюкуа | Вече | ISBN: 5953314590 | руcский | PDF or DjVu | 400 pages | 30.2 Mb or 16.0 Mb
Иберийский полуостров - уникальный регион, на территории которого в течение многих веков жили вместе христиане, евреи и мусульмане. Это совместное существование дало начало единственной в своем роде цивилизационной модели. Она стала результатом такого непосредственного восприятия и такой глубокой переработки каждым народом полуострова различных, порой взаимоисключающих влияний, что можно говорить о единой культуре, характерной для Средневековой Испании.

Judy E. Gaughan Murder Was Not a Crime: Homicide and Power in the Roman Republic
University of Texas Press | 2009 | ISBN: 0292721110 | 200 pages | PDF |11.5 MB
Embarking on a unique study of Roman criminal law, Judy Gaughan has developed a novel understanding of the nature of social and political power dynamics in republican government. Revealing the significant relationship between political power and attitudes toward homicide in the Roman republic, Murder Was Not a Crime describes a legal system through which families (rather than the government) were given the power to mete out punishment for murder. With implications that could modify the most fundamental beliefs about the Roman republic, Gaughan's research maintains that Roman criminal law did not contain a specific enactment against murder, although it had done so prior to the overthrow of the monarchy. While kings felt an imperative to hold monopoly over the power to kill,
