Nikephoros II Phokas, 912-969 - The white death of the Saracens

by Ilkka Syvanne

~~47,32€~~ 33,12€ 30% OFF

free shipping

 Emperor Nikephoros II Phokas - The white death of the Saracens is the first ever English-language biography of the man who broke the stranglehold of Islam over Byzantine Rome so that by the year 968 his forces could invade the Muslim lands virtually unopposed. This was the result of his military reforms and remarkable gifts as a military commander. The text provides thorough analysis of how he reformed military equipment, tactics and strategy to achieve this. The ambushes, battles and military campaigns are discussed in unprecedented detail. Special attention is also paid to the influence of the ascetic Christian lifestyle of Nikephoros on the morale of the armed forces. In spite of his religiosity, Nikephoros was a military man through and through, and the civilian population of the Empire were constantly reminded of this. Soldiers were billeted in Constantinople and showered with favours and Nikephoros even pressured the Church to declare soldiers who died in combat as martyrs. Ilkka Syvänne meticulously explores the relationship between the Church and armed forces in the emperor’s policies. Of course Nikephoros had his human weaknesses which led to his untimely assassination. Why and how this happened is also analysed in detail. The assassination of Nikephoros deprived the Byzantine Romans of their Bearer of Victory, but his military reforms and campaigns had paved the way for Byzantine Rome to reach its apogee under his immediate successors.

Czechoslovak Arms Exports to the Middle East - Volume 5 - Algeria, Libya and Morocco 1948-1989

 During the Cold War, communist Czechoslovakia was one of the largest arms exporters to the Middle East among the Soviet Bloc countries. This volume of the Czechoslovak Arms Exports to the Middle East mini-series describes the history of arms deliveries from Czechoslovakia to Algeria, Libya and Morocco including related military assistance. Between the 1950s and 1980s, Czechoslovakia covertly supplied arms to Arab states in North Africa. In Algeria, the first deliveries to local anti-French rebels served commercial purposes, with obsolete weapons being exchanged for US dollars. The unsuccessful delivery aboard the ship Lidice, which was detained by France in 1959, caused a diplomatic crisis with Paris. Though Prague later sent free shipments hoping for political ties, Algerian purchases remained sparse until the late 1980s. In Morocco, cooperation was brief yet intense (1967-1968), involving armoured vehicles and their spare parts, with a maintenance facility built later. However, collaboration ended shortly after. Libya's 1969 coup launched Czechoslovakia's peak in arms exports. By the early 1980s, Libya had acquired large amounts of military equipment and hosted hundreds of advisors under Operation LitomyÅ¡l - the largest foreign deployment of Czechoslovak troops during the Cold War. Using the declassified original documentation, this is the most comprehensive account of the Czechoslovak military involvement in the Middle East during the Cold War which was ever published.

Nations In Arms - Five Armies That Made Europe

by Sir Barney White-Spunner

~~29,74€~~ 20,82€ 30% OFF

free shipping

 A critical study of five historical armies that offers solutions for how contemporary forces need to change to deal with modern threats. The most important task of any government remains the defence of its state and its citizens. Traditionally governments have used armed forces to do this. World events and comparative peace in Europe since 1989 have led most European governments to lose their focus on defence. However, recent events have proved that war is now as nasty, violent, destructive and prevalent as it has ever been, and governments need to fundamentally re-think their relationship with armies and soldiers. History gives us several examples of states who have reconstructed their armies successfully, both on the field of battle but also in terms of how they relate to the state which it is their duty to protect. This book is about five armies who have adapted successfully: the 4th-century Roman army of Constantine the Great; the 15th-century Ottoman army of Sultan Mehmet II; Cromwell's New Model Army of the English Civil War; the Prussian Army of the Napoleonic Wars; and the US Army of the Second World War. Former senior military officer and renowned military historian Barney White-Spunner draws lessons from their experience to establish long-standing principles that are as relevant today as they were in the 4th century. It is a book about armies, their loyalties, their organisation and their souls.
