In the aftermath of the Second World War relations between the Soviet Union and their former allies in the West quickly soured and developed into the Cold War. The USSR was at a huge disadvantage at sea and sought to redress this balance through the equipping of many of its warships with nuclear weapons ranging from torpedoes to strategic missiles. Doomsday Torpedoes examines the history of these weapons and their live testing during the Cold War.The US Navy maintained a large fleet of aircraft carriers capable of encircling the Soviet Union and delivering airborne nuclear attack from many different directions. The Soviets were in dire need of finding ways to neutralise this threat, preferably with a single powerful blow: torpedoes with nuclear warheads as well as nuclear-tipped anti-ship missiles offered such a capability. Doomsday Torpedoes describes the development and fielding of such weapons by the Soviets and their navy in detail, along with strategic nuclear weapons launched from the sea, primarily submarine launched ballistic missiles. In addition, the Soviet development of submarines, as the primary launch platforms of naval nuclear weapons is examined.The main focus of Doomsday Torpedoes is the time period from 1952 up until the Nuclear Test Ban ...

Sbírka poslkého básníka Tadeusze Dąbrowského. Básník, kritik, esejista Dąbrowski, ročník 1979, patří mezi hvězdy polského literárního nebe. Krom jiného redaktor literárního časopisu Topos, umělecký ředitel festivalu Europejski Poeta Wolności. Od roku 1999 vydal na deset básnických sbírek. "Především levicoví glosátoři poezie mě často nazývají konzervativcem, protože v mých básních se objevují dnes již skromná slova, jako například ,pravda‘, ,dobro‘, ,zlo‘, ,víra‘ nebo ,svědomí‘. Pro mě však otázka takovýchto věcí není výrazem starosvětskosti, ale základní povinností umění každé doby," říká. Ukázka: Třicetiletý chlapec svatosvatě přesvědčený o své nesmrtelnosti. Chlapec s bělomodrou kůží jako mramor nebe. Chlapec, který na mě padá náhrobkem noci. Bezesným snem. Kdosi, kdo se náhle objeví a mizí jak černý čtverec na černém pozadí.

Po více než třiceti letech zkušeností, které mi přinesl můj dar, vlastnosti či jakkoli pojmenujeme to, co dělám, už nemám žádné iluze – vím, že jsem s tím darem odkázaný sám na sebe. Přiznám se, že jsem očekával něco úplně jiného, přinejmenším že se o mne bude zajímat věda, tedy možná ne přímo o mne, ale o to, co umím. Tedy o výsledky mojí práce, o stovky lidských těl, které jsem našel. Nedá se rozhodně mluvit o nějakých náhodách nebo trefách naslepo. Je to stejné, jako kdyby mi v kostkách mnohokrát za sebou padla šestka. To není možné a stejně se tak stalo. Krzysztof Jackowski

USING A VARIETY OF POETIC TECHNIQUES including monologues, sonnets and rhyming couplets, John Price focuses on the individual’s will to survive. Along with the variety of techniques there is a mixture of mood and feeling – from the absurdities of the Greek gods'' treatment of Tiresias and the Angel of the North''s freedom fantasies to the stoicism of the cancer patient and the old man organising his ''leaving'', there is humour, compassion, optimism, sadness and above all an appreciation of human courage and endurance. And then there is the image of the sea rocket blooming till doomsday ‘on whatever scraps of shore survive’. This is the second poetry pamphlet by John Price from IRON Press. We previously published Bye Bye Blackboard illustrated by Susan M Coles, 2016.

Aided by two women from his past, Gray flees a trio of high-tech assassins as he pieces together the clues. But saving the world comes at a price: Pierce must sacrifice one of the women.
