Chinese Military

No es de extrañar que los clásicos chinos sobre el arte de la guerra sean tan populares en nuestro tiempo. No es tan solo el hecho de que los chinos, tras siglos de guerras, llegaron a un conocimiento profundo de la estrategia y sus circunstancias, sino la forma en que plasmaron ese conocimiento. Allá donde los manuales occidentales se centraban en las siempre cambiantes armas y tácticas, los autores orientales buscaron una visión más universal de este tema y, al mismo tiempo, más humana.

Code Name Unbutton exposes an operation where Chinese Intelligence has captured a US Navy drone ship. This is a new idea in warfare, to have small unmanned vessels, sailing around and acting as the eyes and ears of the manned navy by listening in with passive sonar to track submarines. Nuclear attack boats are not defensive weapons that are hanging around your own coasts. No, like aircraft carriers, they take the war to foreign shores, not for self-defence but in order to be able to strike first. The US Navy’s ability to hunt submarines is outdated. An older Russian Akula class nuclear ...

"The Art of War", by the Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu, was written in fifth century BC and remains one of the most influential strategy treatises of all time. It was held as the most important military treatise for 1500 years, and has now a pervasive influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond. The ancient wisdom of this ultimate guide to combat strategy is indeed applicable in all areas of life by anyone willing to ensure every kind of victory.

Combative forms of movement meet all the criteria required to be called “arts”. Additionally, items associated with martial art theory and practice can be shown in a variety media and appreciated as objets d’art in their own right. This anthology presents the aesthetic side of the martial arts as they are found in numerous examples of material culture and items of fine art. An often neglected but incredibly rich area for seeing martial themes represented in art are museum collections. Five of the fourteen chapters in this book deal with museum collections. In many museums you can find...

If the Chinese people were to file one by one past a given point, the interesting procession would never come to an end. Before the last man of those living to-day had gone by, another and a new generation would have grown up, and so on for ever and ever. The importance, as a factor in the sum of human affairs, of this vast nation, - of its language, of its literature, of its religions, of its history, of its manners and customs, - goes therefore without saying. Yet a serious attention to China and her affairs is of very recent growth.

Code Name Oath 19 is mainly about Special Forces diving and more specifically, “technical diving”. This is where you must decompress before coming to the surface again, usually, depending on physical fitness levels, when you are deeper than 130 feet. This is not the same as Special Forces attack diving where rebreathers are used (they don’t give out bubbles and can be used for many hours at a time). The attack divers are never deep enough to need to decompress. This is the traditional method used when sabotaging something underwater, a Special Forces speciality, like a ship or barge (...

As the Civil War rages, 15-year-old Thomas Beck longs to fight for his country.
