Third Reich Victorious: The Alternate History of How the Germans Won the War

Tsouras, Peter G., ed.

World-renowned expert in the fields of counter-terrorism, hostage rescue and VIP protection, Leroy Thompson has now produced the most up-to-date guide to counter-insurgency. His experiences both in the field and in training showcase the latest methods and technologies available and this fully illustrated book reveals many of the secrets of his trade. Counter-insurgency is fast becoming one of the most important aspects of police and military work around the world, with forces often deployed at short notice to fight against an ill-defined enemy. With this in mind, Leroy Thompson describes the techniques best employed in a variety of situations, all illustrated with pictures and explained with examples of their use. He stresses that the primary concern in every situation ought to be a 'Hearts and Minds' style operation comprising an attempt to achieve objectives without the use of force - it is only after all such possibilities have failed that the use of force should be considered, and then only by highly trained special forces operatives. The very political nature of counter-insurgency operations means that operatives are often working under extremely tense and delicate circumstances. The operations are often extremely violent and short-lived, but Thompson emphasizes that they must be part of a wider political, social or economic goal and solution for success to be achieved. This book has a wider significance for anyone with an interest in world security.

In this compelling book, Rommel himself, one of the most successful commanders on World War II and certainly the most well-known, writes about his views on the philosophy of warfare, battles, leaders, and the progress of both World Wars. A complete picture of how a military genius grappled with the actuality of war is presented through Rommel's accounts of his experiences as a soldier in World War I, and through newly translated extracts from letters, orders and the narratives of daily action in World War II that he dictated every evening. Dr Pimlott's commentary sets Rommel's writing in context, describing the background to the great general's ideas and the way in which his plans were affected by circumstances beyond his control. The result is an outstanding insight into Rommel's military career, written from an objective viewpoint.

Jones, Ian

Includes several maps and a section of b&amp;w photo plates. An in-depth examination of Hitler's covert bunkers and command centers. Reveals details of the Fuhrer's living and work arrangements. Includes bunkers and command centers under constructions, and those that never got past the planning stage. While observing the early campaigns in Poland and Yugoslavia from his special trains, Hitler made the decision that for the invasion of France, his foray into the Soviet Union, and the defense of the Atlantic coastline, he needed solid, impenetrable headquarters. To that end, 20,000 workers were employed in the construction of string of concrete bunkers that stretched from the middle of France deep into the Ukraine. Throughout the course of the war, the bunkers allowed Hitler to evade Allied detection and afforded him an extraordinary level of personal protection.
