Guarding the Periphery: The Australian Army in Papua New Guinea, 1951–75 (Australian Army History Series)
by Tristan MossBased around the Pacific Islands Regiment, the Australian Army's units in Papua New Guinea had a dual identity: integral to Australia's defence, but also part of its largest colony, and viewed as a foreign people. The Australian Army in PNG defended Australia from threats to its north and west, while also managing the force's place within Australian colonial rule in PNG, occasionally resulting in a tense relationship with the Australian colonial government during a period of significant change. In Guarding the Periphery: The Australian Army in Papua New Guinea, 1951–75, Tristan Moss explores the operational, social and racial aspects of this unique force during the height of the colonial era in PNG and during the progression to independence. Combining the rich detail of both archival material and oral histories, Guarding the Periphery recounts a part of Australian military history that is often overlooked by studies of Australia's military past. Richly detailed, drawing on archival material and oral histories Explores an area of Australia's military and colonial history that is often overlooked Introduces readers to the social, cultural and linguistic diversity of the Australian Army

Guderian 1941: The Barbarossa Campaign
by David R. HigginsAn in-depth account of the advance of Heinz Guderian’s Second Panzer Group across the central Soviet Union during Operation Barbarossa. During the first few weeks of Operation Barbarossa, Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, Heinz Guderian's Second Panzer Group played a leading role, cutting through the defenses on the border, then taking part in the massive encirclement battles near Minsk, Smolensk, and Kiev. The extraordinary speed of the advance reflects the experience of the Wehrmacht as a whole during the first phase of the war on the Eastern Front. That is why David Higgins’s graphic narrative, which describes how Guderian’s forces achieved enormous success before they were forced to halt, is such compelling reading. It is a fascinating story, vividly told. Drawing on a wide range of official German and Soviet records, he reconstructs the entire course of Second Panzer Group's advance, covering each stage in unprecedented detail. His narrative offers a German perspective and an inside view of what the opposing commanders knew during each operation and shows how important logistics became as the German supply lines stretched deep into the Soviet Union. It also explains how Soviet resistance and reinforcements, declining strength and the onset of the Russian winter combined to bring Guderian to a stop at Tula where he was relieved of his command. The high hopes with which the German army had launched the campaign were dashed only a few months later before Moscow. This in-depth study the of operations of Second Panzer Group gives the reader a telling insight into what went wrong.
Guderian. General Panzer
by Kenneth MackseyUna de las obras de referencia de Macksey, uno de los autores especializados en historia militar con más prestigio y reconocimiento. Entre 1939 y 1941, los campos de batalla europeos asistieron al avance, tan veloz como irresistible, de las divisiones panzer alemanas. Polonia primero, y después Holanda, Bélgica, Francia, Yugoslavia o la Unión Soviética, fueron víctimas de la Blikzkrieg, la guerra relámpago. En diciembre de 1941, ante Moscú, los tanques germanos se vieron frenados por primera vez, pero casi todo el continente europeo había caído ya en manos de Hitler. Uno de los padres de ese incontestable éxito fue el general Heinz Guderian. Él superó los principios obsoletos de la Primera Guerra Mundial, inaugurando una nueva forma de hacer la guerra; la clave pasaría a ser la enorme movilidad de los blindados, libres de su atadura a la infantería, y el apoyo de la aviación, en una combinación que resultaría devastadora.
Guderian: Panzer General (Greenhill Military Paperback Ser.)
by Kenneth MackseyBorn in Kulm, Germany on 17 June 1888, Heinz Wilhelm Guderian was the son of an army officer. He eventually joined the German Army and was commissioned in the Jaegers in 1908 where he became a communications specialist. He fought in the First World War and afterwards was a member of the right-wing Freikorps units. Between the wars, Guderian became a catalyst for developing a Panzer division in the German Army. By February 1938 he had been promoted to Lieutenant General; later that year Hitler appointed Guderian to the new post of Chief of Mobile Troops. Guderian was a man of ideas equipped with the ability to turn inspiration into reality. A master of strategy and tactics, he was the officer who led the attack on Poland in September – and in so doing introduced the world to the reality of Blitzkrieg. This biography draws on material from Enigma sources and information taken directly from the extensive Guderian family archives to explore the man who was partly responsible for the development of modern tank warfare and who is considered to be the father of Blitzkrieg. The author also looks at Guderians reaction to the July 1944 plot to kill Hitler as well as illuminates the struggles within the German hierarchy, in the process investigating why Guderian was so admired by some while denigrated by others.
Guerilla Warfare On The Amber Coast
by K. V. TaurasThe historical narrative which unfolds in the following pages is almost completely unknown to Western readers.Guerilla Warfare on the Amber Coast is an authentic, factual history of Lithuanian resistance against Soviet and Nazi oppressors between 1940-1952. This report is based on first-person accounts supplied by people who lived in Lithuania and who were able to reach the West; on statements by defected Soviet officials and military personnel, on articles of the Lithuanian underground press; and on items which have appeared openly in official Communist releases. For the most part, the report concentrates on Lithuanian guerilla operations against the Soviet colonial administration in Lithuania between 1944 and 1952.Most of the first-hand experiences in this narrative were brought to the West by Juozas Luksa, a special emissary from the Lithuanian Freedom Army to Lithuanian institutions in the free world. As a freedom fighter he had used the aliases of Skrajunas, J. Daumantas, and Miškinis. In 1950 he returned to Soviet-occupied Lithuania to rejoin the LFA. According to Soviet sources, the NKVD captured and executed him in about October, 1951.This narrative is published for the record and in the belief that it may serve a useful purpose at this particular juncture in world affairs. Interested readers will find extensive documentation and first-hand accounts of guerilla operations of the Lithuanian Freedom Army in the publications listed at the end of this report.

Guernsey Evacuees: The Forgotten Evacuees of the Second World War
by Gillian MawsonIn June 1940, 17,000 people fled Guernsey to England, including 5,000 school children with their teachers and 500 mothers as 'helpers'. The Channel Islands were occupied on 30 June - the only part of British territory that was occupied by Nazi forces during the Second World War. Most evacuees were transported to smoky industrial towns in Northern England - an environment so very different to their rural island. For five years they made new lives in towns where the local accent was often confusing, but for most, the generosity shown to them was astounding. They received assistance from Canada and the USA - one Guernsey school was 'sponsored' by wealthy Americans such as Eleanor Roosevelt and Hollywood stars. From May 1945, the evacuees began to return home, although many decided to remain in England. Wartime bonds were forged between Guernsey and Northern England that were so strong, they still exist today.

Guerra del Pacífico: la Batalla del Golfo de Leyte (Historia Incógnita)
by José Manuel Gutiérrez de la Cámara SeñánLa obra describe y analiza la batalla del Golfo de Leyte, que fue la confrontación aeronaval más grande de todos los tiempos, tanto por el número de barcos, aviones y hombres enfrentados como por la gran extensión del escenario de la batalla. En ella se pone de manifiesto el arrojo de unos marinos que estuvieron dispuestos a jugarse todo, en aras del cumplimiento del deber sin que, desde mi punto de vista, la historia les haya prestado todo el reconocimiento que por su labor merecieron. Se analizan con detalle las decisiones de los mandos que intervinieron en el combate, estudiándose con análisis crítico los porqués de tales medidas, haciéndolo a la luz de los principios estratégicos por los que se rige la conducción de un conflicto. Se revisa en su conjunto la guerra aeronaval en el Pacífico, explicando la concatenación de hechos desde el ataque a Pearl Harbour hasta el momento en que tuvo lugar esta importante batalla, que pudo haber cambiado de modo significativo el curso de las operaciones navales para los Estados Unidos, en unos momentos en que nadie dudaba de lo que estaba por venir.

Guerra y paz
by Lev TolstóiLos mejores libros jamás escritos Edición de la Academia Soviética de Ciencias Obra cumbre de Lev Tolstói (junto a Anna Karénina) y de la narrativa del XIX, Guerra y paz constituye un vasto fresco histórico y épico. Con la campaña napoleónica -Austerlitz, Borodinó o el incendio de Moscú- como trasfondo, se narra la historia de dos familias de la nobleza rusa, los Bolkonski y los Rostov, protagonistas de un mundo que empieza a escenificar su propia desaparición. Hasta hace pocos años, todas las traducciones de Guerra y paz se basaban en la edición canónica de 1873. Sin embargo, en 1983, la Academia Soviética de Ciencias publicó lo que ellos llamaron la «edición original», es decir, la primera versión que Tolstói escribió en 1866. Es la espléndida traducción de ese manuscrito original, de la mano de Gala Arias Rubio, la que publicamos en estevolumen. «¿Es que se puede estar en paz en los tiempos que corren, cuando se tiene algo de sensibilidad?»
Guerras del siglo XXI: El imperio contra Irak
by Ignacio RamonetUn valiente análisis de las amenazas y miedos que provienen de la mundialización y del desequilibrio entre las naciones tras el 11 de septiembre de 2001. Ignacio Ramonet presenta un retrato del nuevo mundo tras los atentados del 11 de septiembre: la ofensiva de Estados Unidos contra el terrorismo internacional, el recrudecimiento del conflicto israelí-palestino y el ascenso de la ultraderecha en el paisaje electoral europeo. Este nuevo orden viene condicionado por otro fenómeno central, la globalización, cuyos protagonistas no son estados colonizadores, sino empresas y multinacionales privadas dispuestas a dominar el planeta invadiendo mercados en lugar de países. Lo que se traduce en un agravamiento de las desigualdades y en la reiterada destrucción de la naturaleza. Ante esta situación, los ciudadanos reclaman nuevos derechos colectivos que defiendan un medio ambiente a salvo de la contaminación, una ciudad humana, una información no manipulada, así como la paz y el desarrollo de los pueblos. Las sociedades civiles deben reclamar su protagonismo en las grandes negociaciones internacionales. Para cambiar este mundo, hay que soñar un futuro diferente. Reseña:«Junto a la gran cantidad de información que proporciona esta obra en su análisis de la realidad más actual, Ramonet crea, como en las utopías, horizontes inesperados.»Bernabé Sarabia, El Cultural de El Mundo
Guerrilla Leader: T. E. Lawrence and the Arab Revolt
by James SchneiderReclaiming T. E. Lawrence from hype and legend, James J. Schneider offers a startling reexamination of this leader's critical role in shaping the modern Middle East. Just how did this obscure British junior intelligence officer, unschooled in the art of war, become "Lawrence of Arabia" and inspire a loosely affiliated cluster of desert tribes to band together in an all-or-nothing insurgency against their Turkish overlords? The answers have profound implications for our time as well, as a new generation of revolutionaries pulls pages from Lawrence's playbook of irregular warfare.Blowing up trains and harassing supply lines with dynamite and audacity, Lawrence drove the mighty armies of the Ottoman Turks to distraction and brought the Arabs to the brink of self-determination. But his success hinged on more than just innovative tactics: As he immersed himself in Arab culture, Lawrence learned that a traditional Western-style hierarchical command structure could not work in a tribal system where warriors lead not only an army but an entire community. Weaving quotations from Lawrence's own writings with the histories of his greatest campaigns, Schneider shows how this stranger in a strange land evolved over time into the model of the self-reflective, enabling leader who eschews glory for himself but instead seeks to empower his followers. Guerrilla Leader also offers a valuable analysis of Lawrence's innovative theories of insurgency and their relevance to the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East.This exhaustively researched book also provides a detailed account of the Arab revolt, from the stunning assault on the port city of Aqaba to the bloody, Pyrrhic victory at Tafileh, the only set-piece battle Lawrence fought during the Great Arab Revolt. Lawrence emerged from the latter experience physically and mentally drained, incapable of continuing as a military commander, and, Schneider asserts, in the early stages of the post-traumatic stress disorder that would bedevil him for the rest of his life. The author then carries the narrative forward to the final slaughter of the Turks at Tafas and the Arabs' ultimate victory at Damascus.With insights into Lawrence's views on discipline, his fear of failure, and his enduring influence on military leadership in the twenty-first century, Guerrilla Leader is a bracingly fresh take on one of the great subjects of the modern era.Foreward by Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas E. RicksFrom the Hardcover edition.
Guerrilla Nation: My Wars In and Out of Vietnam
by Michael MaclearA celebrated journalist finds himself reporting on the savage war in Vietnam while in combat with his own network. In September 1969, Michael Maclear, the first Western television journalist allowed inside North Vietnam, was in Hanoi for major Canadian and U.S. networks. He recounted in gripping detail how an entire population had been trained for generations in guerrilla combat. His reporting that the North was motivated more by nationalism than Marxism was highly controversial.Later Maclear was taken blindfolded to a Hanoi prison for captive U.S. pilots, some of whom condemned the war. Nixon’s White House said the Canadian reporter was duped, and Maclear’s own network questioned him in those terms on air. Later, the network found reason to dismiss Maclear as a foreign correspondent.Recently, Maclear returned to Vietnam and interviewed surviving key figures from the war. In this book he includes startling new information on guerrilla tactics and delivers an impassioned argument for the necessity of journalistic impartiality and integrity.
Guerrilla Operations in the Civil War: Assessing Compound Warfare During Price’s Raid
by Major Dale E. DavisOne of the most significant areas of guerrilla warfare during the American Civil War occurred along the Missouri-Kansas border. Many of these guerrilla forces had been active during the Bleeding Kansas period and continued their activities into the Civil War supporting the Confederacy. The guerrillas attacked Federal forces and disrupted their lines of communications, raided settlements in Kansas, and attempted to support Confederate conventional forces operating in the area. In 1864, Major General Sterling Price led a raid into Missouri in a final attempt to bring the state into the Confederacy. This thesis explores the nature of guerrilla warfare in the Missouri-Kansas border area and explains how Price and the guerrillas failed to employ the elements of Compound Warfare to bring Missouri into the Confederacy.
Guerrilla Surgeon
by Dr Lindsay RogersDr. Rogers was a New Zealander who, after duty with British troops in North Africa during the early years of the war, made the decision to enter guerrilla warfare in the Balkans and was accepted for training to join the Jugoslav partisans. The account of his experiences, written a decade ago after he had just left the country, has the freshness of recently known people and events and the detachment of a thoughtful mind which could pause to analyse and indicate their meaning for the course of victory and for future Balkan politics. On one level the narrative is full of the scenes of daily life. There are conversations with his aids Bill and Ian (important people in the book), the work in makeshift hospitals, the dangers of movement and escapes and the developing friendships with many of the partisani. But these last, for example, are also geared to show their tendency towards Russian sympathies and the unfortunate handling of British propaganda which made the partisansi think that Britain's main contribution to the war was in helping Mikhailovich. We see too Dr. Rogers' concern with medical methods. He was appalled at the rough and unsympathetic operation room techniques he found among German trained doctors; he saw the possibility for a system of evacuating the wounded to Italy. Eventually he became so valuable that Tito commandeered him from the base in Croatia, where Rogers was beginning to feel at home, to start a medical school in Bosnia. A personal history which is exciting and perceptive enough to hold its own in the war annals market.--Kirkus Book Review
Guerrilla Warfare
by Ernesto Che GuevaraIn this, the most famous book produced by the Cuban Revolution, a charismatic guerrilla leader presents his manifesto on asymmetrical warfare. The Argentine-born Marxist revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara (1928-1967) establishes the principles of waging a popular rebellion, outlining his theories on insurrection and discussing their application in Cuba and elsewhere. Guevara's essays remain remarkably relevant to the twenty-first century, and his example of dedication, commitment, and self-sacrifice continues to inspire freedom fighters around the world.
