СКАЧАТЬ The Great World War 1914-45: Volume I: Lightning Strikes Twice БЕСПЛАТНО EPUB - DOC - DJVU - RTF - PDFОписание: The first of two volumes, this is a landmark in military history: a collaboration among historians from twenty countries resulting in a sweeping study of two world wars.Operating under the premise that the World Wars I and II were actually parts of the same huge conflict, 38 historians have written 33 chapters comparing the two wars. There are chapters on occupation and genocide, war in the air and undersea, POWs, casualties, and the experience of killing.
The chapters on the national and military leadership (e.g., Churchill and Lloyd George, Hitler and the Kaiser) offer the most direct comparisons. The biggest difference, of course, was the relatively stable (but incredibly deadly) trench warfare of 1914-18, unlike the 1939-45 period.
