Punisher MAX: Svět sovětů - Garth Ennis, Jacen Burrows
Někdo si palbou z AK-47 probíjí cestu ruskou mafií v New Yorku. A ten někdo není Punisher. Když Frank Castle začne zabijáka hledat, najde podivného človíčka s milým úsměvem a s touhou po pomstě, která se vyrovná té jeho. Valeriji Stěpanoviči to zabralo desítky let a tisíce kilometrů, než se dostal blíž k tomu, kdo zradil jej a jeho kamarády. Z afghánských hor se přes podsvětí rozkládajícího se Ruska dostal až sem, na newyorské ulice. Ale nežene ho jen tuctová ublíženost. To, co se stalo páté rotě gardové výsadkové divize v kopcích jižně od Kábulu, je nepopsatelná noční můra, spíš obludná exploze krutosti než běžný příběh z války. Teď je čeká práce. Čekají na ně lidé, které nejde nechat naživu. Ale Rusovo vyprávění probudí ve Frankově srdci nějaký dávný hněv - a on zjistí, že takhle blízko k vlastním mezím se ještě nedostal. A že je zralý na rozhodnutí, které už nikdy nevezme zpátky.

Punisher Max: Četa - Garth Ennis, Goran Parlov
Rozpoltit nebe, otřást zemí...Na začátku roku 1968 dorazil jistý mladý poručík námořní pěchoty na Vrch 861, západně od bojové základny ve Khe Sanhu. Jmenoval se Frank Castle. V následujících letech on a ostatní bojovali o přežití a boj často byl na hraně.

Muži z jeho čety si říkají, že na jejich veliteli je něco zvláštního; jako by se pro velení narodil, ale možná je to i bojovník, kterému na vlastním lidství až tak nesejde. Byl Frank Castle odjakživa odsouzen stát se Punisherem? Mohl si vybrat jinou cestu? Anebo u něj stejně jako u mnoha jiných tragické angažmá jeho země v jihovýchodní Asii prostě rozhodlo a on byl polapen ve válečném turnusu, který nikdy neskončí?

When a figure from the distant past reappears with an offer of a clandestine operation - an all-out effort against a nightmarish enemy weapons program that could claim the lives of thousands - Johnny finds himself agreeing, despite terrible misgivings. The risks are many, but the prize is the whereabouts of the woman he loves - and Johnny Red will fly through hell for Nina Petrova, no matter what the cost. Yet the unspeakable cruelty of the Soviet hierarchy, not to mention the return of an old and lethal enemy, will push the Englishman’s resolve well past the breaking point. High above the freezing Arctic Ocean, one last aerial duel will decide who lives, who dies - and who is lost forever. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Preacher - Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon
Zlý, ještě horší a ošklivý Při svém pátrání po uprchlém Bohu, kterého hodlá hnát k odpovědnosti, narazil Jesse Custer na spoustu divných existencí - a není žádným překvapením, že mnohé z nich mají svůj vlastní podivuhodný příběh. Pradávná historie je sbírkou několika takových příběhů, které původně vyšly jako samostatné speciály. V hlavních rolích tu vystupují některé z nejbarvitějších vedlejších postav série Kazatel: "Svatý zabiják" nám vyjeví kompletní proces vzniku Custerovy nadpřirozené nemesis, jenž se odehrál jak na zamrzlých pláních Divokého západu, tak v těch nejžhavějších zákoutích samotného pekla; "Hoši z Jihu" se ohlédnou za idyličtějšími časy čtyřiadvacetikarátových buranů Jodyho a T. C., kteří za radostné pomocí celého arzenálu klišé akčních filmů čirou náhodou překazí plány mezinárodních teroristů; v "Příběhu-Vy-Víte-Koho" pro změnu zavítáme do světa frustrujícího dospívání na maloměstě, abychom byli svědky tragické frašky, která dala světu Prdelmana; a v Cassidyho flashbacku "Krev a whisky" odkryjeme něco z temné minulosti tohoto irského upíra spojené s neworleánským společenstvím Les Enfants Du Sang. Pradávná historie vychází jako závěrečná kniha preacherovské série, ságy, která patří k nejoceňovanějším titulům devadesátých let.

Thor - Vikingové - Garth Ennis, Glenn Fabry
Někdy i bůh hromu narazí na protivníky, na které prostě nestačí. Třeba na nemrtvé vikingy, kteří po tisíci letech putování přistáli na Manhattanu a začali s drancováním. Aby měl šanci, musí dát dohromady tým krví spojených bojovníků z různých historických epoch. Stačí ale vikingská bojovnice, fanatický křižák a nacistický pilot k zastavení nemrtvé hrozby? I když vychází komiks právě ve chvíli, kdy se chystá do kin filmový Thor, tak Vikingové nejsou adaptace filmu. Tenhle Thor vyšel v rámci dospělejší řady MAX (ze které momentálně vychází kupříkladu Punisher), napsal ho jeden z nejosobitějších komiksových tvůrců Garth Ennis (Preacher, Punisher) a brilantní kresbou příběh doplnil slavný Glenn Fabry (obálky k Preacherovi, Nikdykde).

War Dog is set during World War II, and centres on a German guard dog condemned to die by its masters but which escapes and embarks on an epic adventure across enemy lines and battlefields. Battle Picture Weekly was a milestone in British comics publishing - the preeminent war comic of the ''70s and ''80s with a readership in the hundreds of thousands and a groundbreaking approached to storytelling which paved the way for Action, 2000 AD, Warrior and the new wave of UK comics.

Někdo si palbou z AK-47 probíjí cestu ruskou mafií v New Yorku. A ten někdo není Punisher. Když Frank Castle začne zabijáka hledat, najde podivného človíčka s milým úsměvem a touhou po pomstě, která se vyrovná té jeho. Valeriji Stěpanoviči zabralo desítky let a tisíce kilometrů, než se dostal blíž k tomu, kdo zradil jej a jeho kamarády. Z afghánských hor se přes podsvětí rozkládajícího se Ruska dostal až sem, do newyorských ulic. Ale nežene ho jen tuctová ublíženost. To, co se stalo páté rotě gardové výsadkové divize v kopcích jižně od Kábulu, je nepopsatelná noční můra, spíš obludná exploze krutosti než běžný příběh z války. Teď je čeká práce. Čekají na ně lidé, které nelze nechat naživu. Ale Rusovo vyprávění probudí ve Frankově srdci nějaký dávný hněv – a on zjistí, že takhle blízko k vlastním mezím se ještě nedostal....

The Rise and Fall of the British Army, 1975–2025 - Ben Barry
A new study of a critical period in the history of the British Army.The last half century has seen society, technology, the character of conflict and the British Army itself all change greatly. From a low point in the 1970s, the Army’s war fighting capability increased in the 1980s in the face of a prospective war with the Soviet Union. This capability was then tested on operations from Kuwait in 1991 through to Afghanistan in 2001 and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.There followed two decades of descent from this high plateau of military achievement. Mistakes made in Iraq and Afghanistan led to a decline in support for military deployments. Cuts to defence funding and botched equipment procurements also meant the British Army of 2021 was only half the size of that of 1970, and with much key fighting equipment either obsolete or approaching obsolescence.Ben Barry served in the Army from 1975 to 2010, often in key staff appointments, and has worked closely with the Army in the following decade. This new study draws not only on his personal experience, but also on a very wide range of written sources complemented by interviews to provide a new interpretation of this period ...

The British Army of Queen Victoria, 1837–1901 - Gabriele Esposito
In 1837, Queen Victoria inherited an army that had not changed greatly from that which defeated Napoleon in 1815, although reform was already under way. The process of reorganization and modernization, however, continued throughout her reign. As the British army protected and extended the Empire, it strove to adapt to rapidly advancing technology and an incredible array of enemies and environments. This was the period in which many of the of its most famous battle honours were won, such as Balaklava, Rorke’s Drift and Omdurman. Gabriele Esposito gives a comprehensive overview of the history, organization, weapons and uniforms of the various components of the British army. All branches of the service are included: Foot Guards, line infantry, Highland infantry, light infantry, rifle corps (the King’s Royal Rifle Corps and the Rifle Brigade), Life Guards and Horse Guards, Dragoon Guards, Dragoons, Light Dragoons, Hussars, Lancers, Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers and Royal Army Service Corps. The Royal Marines and Royal Marine Artillery, while technically part of the Royal Navy, are also covered as they often fought with the land forces. The ‘legions’ of British volunteers who fought abroad and the foreign military units in British service are also considered. He traces the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Making Of The British Army - Allan Mallinson
Edgehill, 1642: Surveying the disastrous scene in the aftermath of the first battle of the English Civil War, Oliver Cromwell realizes that war can no longer be made in the old, feudal way: there has to be system and discipline, and therefore - eventually - a standing professional army.From the ''New Model Army'' of Cromwell''s distant vision, former soldier Allan Mallinson shows us the people and events that have shaped the army we know today. How Marlborough''s momentous victory at Blenheim is linked to Wellington''s at Waterloo; how the desperate fight at Rorke''s Drift in 1879 underpinned the heroism of the airborne forces at Arnhem in 1944; and why Montgomery''s momentous victory at El Alamein mattered long after the Second World War was over. From the Army''s origins at the battle of Edgehill to our current conflict in Afghanistan, this is history at its most relevant - and most dramatic.

British Army Cap Badges of the Second World War - Chris Foster, Professor Peter Doyle
In their companion volume to British Army Cap Badges of the First World War, authors Peter Doyle and Chris Foster present an overview of the main cap badges worn by the British Army during the Second World War, which continued the rich and varied tradition of British regimental insignia. This book describes and illustrates, for the first time in high quality full colour, the main types of cap badge worn. With many amalgamations, war-raised units and special forces, British military insignia from the period have a surprising range that differs substantially from that worn by the soldiers of the previous generation. As in the first book, this volume contains contemporary illustrations of the soldiers themselves wearing the badges. Employing the skills of an established writer (and collector) and artist, it provides a unique reference guide for anyone interested in the British Army of the period.

"No Such Army Since the Days of Julius Caesar" - Smith Mark S., Wade Sokolosky
The final days of the Confederacy saw a kaleidoscope of action in the Eastern Theater, with most Civil War historians focusing on the imminent demise of the Army of Northern Virginia. However, to both Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, it was the inexorable advance of the Union armies up through the Carolinas in the spring of 1865 that dictated their final moves.William Tecumseh Sherman’s Carolinas campaign has long been overshadowed by the events in Virginia, even as the Confederates recognized it as the crucial, war-winning blow, and pitted a luminous array of their best generals—Johnston, Hardee, Hampton, A. P. Stewart, D. H. Hill, and others—against it. In this work, career military officers Mark A. Smith and Wade Sokolosky rectify the oversight with “No Such Army Since the Days of Julius Caesar,†a careful and impartial examination of Sherman’s advance up the seaboard now in paperback.After his largely unopposed “March to the Sea,†in March 1865 Sherman struck off again north, aiming to unite with Grant and crush Lee between them.

The Prussian Army of Frederick the Great, 1740-1786 - Gabriele Esposito
Frederick the Great was an acknowledged master of war. Admired and studied by Napoleon, he commanded the Prussian army at sixteen major battles and numerous sieges and other actions, often leading from the front. Under Frederick the Prussian Army became arguably the most feared and efficient in Europe, often defeating numerically superior forces. Gabriele Esposito details the organization, uniforms and equipment of the various branches of service that made up the Prussian Army. Starting with the infantry, whose incredible discipline and excellent training made them the backbone of Frederick''s forces he details the famous Guards and the line regiments but also the light infantry jagers and even little-known garrison and auxiliary units. Equal attention is given to the cavalry: Guards, cuirassiers, dragoons, lancers and hussars. There is also a chapter devoted to the ''technical corps'' of artillery, pioneers and the like, and there are chapters on the mercenary ''freikorps'' and Frederick''s German allies. The whole is lavishly illustrated with beautiful colour plates.

The Roman Army of the Middle Empire, AD 180-284 - Gabriele Esposito
During the Middle Empire period (AD 180-284) the Roman army had to face the terrible ‘Third Century Crisis’, wherein a combination of socio-economic problems and new external threats threatened the Empire with complete collapse. Several provinces became temporarily independent from the central government of Rome, while others were frequently raided by foreign invaders. The Roman army had to fight with all its resources in order to reconquer a good portion of the Empire and preserve its unity. The Romans were forced to modernize and reform their forces to face the new challenges posed by a multitude of warlike enemies, such as the Persians in the Middle East or the Germanic Peoples in Central Europe. The previous military system based on the power of the legions’ heavy infantry was completely revised, with the introduction of new organizational patterns. Cavalry became much more important than before, together with light troops specialized in skirmishing. The personal equipment of the Roman soldiers changed in a very significant way, with the introduction of new weapons that permitted the development of innovative tactics. Gabriele Esposito follows this evolution of Roman forces from the death of Marcus Aurelius to the rise of Diocletian, reconstructing the major military ... Unknown localization key: "more"

An Area of Darkness - V.S. Naipaul
A classic of modern travel writing, An Area of Darkness is Nobel laureate V. S. Naipaul’s profound reckoning with his ancestral homeland.Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by internationally acclaimed author Paul Theroux.Traveling from the bureaucratic morass of Bombay to the ethereal beauty of Kashmir, from a sacred ice cave in the Himalayas to an abandoned temple near Madras, Naipaul encounters a dizzying cross-section of humanity: browbeaten government workers and imperious servants, a suavely self-serving holy man and a deluded American religious seeker. An Area of Darkness also abounds with Naipaul’s strikingly original responses to India’s paralyzing caste system, its acceptance of poverty and squalor, and the conflict between its desire for self-determination and its nostalgia for the British raj. This may be the most elegant and passionate book ever written about the subcontinent.
