James F. Dunnigan Livres

This is the second edition of a book about a little understood subject, the dramatic reform of the American military, and particularly the U.S. Army, between the end of the Vietnam war and the Persian Gulf war of 1990-91. The second edition material carries the study through the 1990s and a few years beyond. We cover a lot of subjects that few Americans are familiar with. The reforms after Vietnam were more driven by the results of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war and paid for by defense spending increases begun by president Carter. The end of the Cold War ended up creating a need for more reforms.

The book reveals the true events of American forces in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, distinguishing between widely held myths and the stark realities of the conflict. Through clear and concise analysis, it uncovers lesser-known facts and insights about the war, providing a deeper understanding of its complexities and consequences.

"Dirty Little Secrets of World War II " exposes the dark, irreverent, misunderstood, and often tragicomic aspects of military operations during World War II, many of them virtually unknown even to military buffs. Like its successful predecessor, "Dirty Little Secrets," Dunnigan and Nofi's new book vividly brings to life all theaters and participants of the war. Revelations include:- The real death count for the war, and why it has never been previously released.- The "new age" general who refused to smoke or drink, who lived on a vitamin-enriched diet, who opposed animal experimentation, and who regularly consulted his astrologer. - How equipment developed for the war led to such modern high-tech innovations as "smart bombs," electronic warfare, and nuclear missles. - The lackadaisical relationship between Germany and Japan throughout the war.- Tricky bits of information about the lingering effects of the war -- like the thousands of live shells and mines that are still buried in Europe and off the East Coast of America.

Tváří v tvář globální hrozbě kybernetického terorismu. Vojenský expert a zpravodajský analytik ve své knize vysvětluje nová pravidla kybernetické války - v čem spočívá, co by se mohlo stát a jak se máme bránit, abychom se nestali figurkou v šachové partii. Od scénářů skutečných útoků po vysvětlení, co jsou super zombie, červi a monstrózní viry, od kybernetických bojovníků po největší nebezpečí, které ozbrojeným silám hrozí, podává Dunnigan jasné a výstižné ponaučení o tom, jak se bránit neviditelnému nepříteli, s jakým jsme se ještě nesetkali.
