War cannot be controlled in future without an understanding of its past. These essays analyse war, its strategic characteristics and its political and social functions, over the past five centuries. Makers of Modern Strategy , first pub lished in 1943, deserved and demanded updating. The 28 essays in the new vol ume7 more than in the original range from excellent to outstanding. They reflect the skills of a cross-section of leading military historians. But re viving a classic is a difficult task. Some original contributions were discarded, some rewritten, some left virtually in tact. Old and new frequently coexist awkwardly, as when Hajo Holbom and Gunther Rothenberg compete for 19th- century Germany. The editors'' reluc tance to impose a common format add ed to an intellectual diffusion most visible in a split between biographic and thematic approaches. As a result, this revision cannot equal its predecessor''s status as a standard text. As an antholo gy, however, the work is brilliantly suc cessfuland that is no mean achieve ment. Recommended for all students of military history. Dennis Showalter, History Dept., Colorado Coll., Colora do Springs Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Las polémicas respecto a la minoría de edad de Carlos II enfrentaron a Juan José de Austria con los favoritos sucesivos de la regente. A través del análisis de su trayectoria peculiar, este libro revela practicas politicas que, utilizando los poderes de la pluma, permiten resistir a las autoridades sin desobedecerlas abiertamente y, a la vez, escalar los peldaños del poder. Estas guerras de plumas contribuyeron sin duda al surgimiento de una opinion publica.

Pavel Podvig This encyclopedic book provides comprehensive data about Soviet and Russian strategic weapons, payloads, and delivery systems and on the nuclear complex that supports them. The data are drawn from open, primarily Russian sources. All the information is presented chronologically, arranged by individual systems and facilities, and is not available elsewhere in a single volume. Following an overview of the history of Soviet strategic forces, the book discusses the structure of the political and military leadership in the Soviet Union and Russia, the structure of the Russian military and military industry, nuclear planning procedures, and the structure of the command and control system. It describes the nuclear warhead production complex and the Soviet nuclear weapon development program. It then focuses on the individual services that constitute the so-called strategic triad--land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, the strategic submarine fleet, and strategic aviation. It presents an overview of Soviet strategic defense, including air defense systems, the Moscow missile defense system, the radar and space-based early warning networks, and the space surveillance system. The book also includes a description of the Soviet nuclear testing program, including information on test sites and on all Soviet nuclear tests and peaceful nuclear explosions. It concludes with a look at the future of strategic nuclear weapons in Russia.

¿Que sabemos de las creencias de los antiguos pueblos de Europa según sus propias palabras? Este volumen es un compendio de las inscripciones religiosas escritas en lenguas locales en el Occidente mediterraneo, en concreto en osco, umbro, venetico, retico, galo, iberico, celtiberico y lusitano, en un marco cronologico derivado de la propia datacion de los epigrafes (siglos vi a. C. - II d. C.). Esta obra, que comprende mas de 850 inscripciones, no es exclusivamente un catalogo de epigrafes religiosos, sino un exhaustivo analisis de sus soportes y contextos arqueologicos, haciendo especial hincapie en el contenido de los textos, cuando es posible traducirlos. Ademas de un estudio de la situacion en cada cultura epigrafica, la autora lleva a cabo un analisis global del fenomeno de la epigrafia religiosa paleoeuropea por medio de la epigrafia comparada.

The Bear Went Over the Mountain is a collection of vignettes written by Soviet junior officers describing their experiences fighting the Mujahideen guerrillas. The material was originally collected and published by the Frunze Combined Arms Staff College to serve as a text on combat against a guerrilla force in mountain-desert terrain. It was originally intended for internal use only and as such provides examples of both good and bad military practice. The hard lessons learned are not specifically ''Russian'' in nature and many of the same mistakes and successes would apply equally to the American Army in Vietnam. Indeed, the knowledge gained from these reports should also apply to future conflicts involving civil war, guerrilla forces and rugged terrain. This is not a history of the Soviet-Afghan War, but rather a series of snapshots of combat as seen by young platoon leaders, company commanders, battalion commanders and military advisers. It is an intimate look at the boring, brutal business of counterinsurgency punctuated by moments of heady excitement and terror. Colonel Grau, the editor and translator, has added his own commentary to produce a useful guide for commanders to meet the challenges of this kind of war and to help keep his fellow soldiers alive. This book will also be of interest to the historian and general reader, who will discover that advances in technology have had little impact on this kind of war, and that many of the same tactics the British Army used on the Northwest Frontier still apply today.
