In February 1945, 350 American POWs captured earlier at the Battle of the Bulge or elsewhere in Europe were singled out by the Nazis because they were Jews or were thought to resemble Jews. They were transported in cattle cars to Berga, a concentration camp in eastern Germany, and put to work as slave laborers, mining tunnels for a planned underground synthetic-fuel factory. This was the only incident of its kind during World War II.

During the occupation of Japan after WWII, the US had an important decision to make. Should they hold those responsible for atrocities during the war accountable or should they take the information to advance the national interest? The researchers who worked at Unit 731, the biological and chemical warfare research and development unit, were given immunity in exchange for their research data. Unit 731 included factories filled with humans, tested with various diseases, as well as field tests on civilians of the Soviet Union and China. Imperial Japan had aspirations to develop operative ...

At 8:15 a.m. on 6th August 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. In an instant, the temperature at its core rose to millions of degrees. Sixty-thousand buildings were obliterated. A third of the city’s population died, by heat, by the blast and by a terrible new weapon in the history of warfare: radiation.

I slept one night and midnight I was woken up by the Spirit of God and I found a man-shadow with hands and legs standing before me. Some how he was close but couldn’t reach me because of the bloodline between me and him. Diabolical persons use to send such evil messengers to attack their victims. I saw a case where such messenger was sent to an unprotected victim and by morning the person ran mad. As this human shadow saw my eyes it quickly moved back. As it moved back it as well moved up simultaneously until it disappeared into the ceiling and roof. Child of God you are protected and ...

The topic of biological warfare (B.W.) in the Pacific theater of World War II has been relatively untouched and unexplored by the mainstream media and the public. In 1932, Ishii Shiro, a Japanese microbiologist and surgeon general, initiated an expansive B.W. research and development program. It grew in the years leading up to and throughout World War II to encompass numerous facilities in Asia. Although the 1925 Geneva Protocol outlawed the use of B.W., Japanese scientists were interested in developing bioweapons as highly destructive, inexpensive weapons. The program included conducting ...

La guerra es la muerte en sí misma. Vale lo mismo la vida de un guerrillero que la de un soldado. Y sin embargo, después de más de medio siglo de guerra de guerrillas, de masacres y bombardeos, de emboscadas, desapariciones… pocos, muy pocos en Colombia están convencidos de que la guerra debe ser sepultada para siempre.

Britain was encouraged to participate in the second Gulf War by the publication of an intelligence report that suggested that Saddam Hussein could attack the UK with weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes. When the WMDs failed to materialise, the original report was questioned, it was suggested in parliament that it had been "sexed up" as a way to scare the UK into war. Ann Taylor (MP) led an investigation to determine if the the public had been misled, and this is what they found.

For Jason and his fiancé Thelma, the bomb meant he never had to invade Japan and maybe die or at least be wounded. For Fred, the bomb means guilt and fear, wondering why it had to be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki as his wife Sally tries to help him. For Soviet and East German scientists trying to develop a sufficient weapon of mass destruction means involuntary servitude to a nation intent on catching America in an arms race. For a federal employee who worked where the first bomb was developed, life spirals into a search for an escape from nuclear annihilation. When Jason discovers ...

Luftwaffe pilots fear one weapon more than any other: British Spitfires. Powerful Rolls Royce engines and an ingenious design make the plane fast and manoeuvrable. In 1940, Spitfires and their fearless pilots resist Hitler’s attempts to bomb Britain to submission. The fighter’s success forces Germany’s leaders to develop even more powerful weapons. London is targeted by V-1 and V-2 bombs, forerunners of the Saturn V moon rocket. Meanwhile, on the Eastern Front the supergun Schwerer Gustav fires shells at targets 47 kilometres away.

Kazimierz Chomko, born in 1911, is an agent of peace. From 1939 to 1945, he was a soldier in the Polish Army, and acting under the Canadian flag he was a Tank Troop Commander. He landed on the Normandy Beach on D+6 and until the war ended, he was continuously in action. Deeply religious, Kaz did not want to kill. "When in battle my gunners did not shoot to kill the enemy, but shot overhead. Instinctively, the enemy soldiers threw themselves on the ground..."

Tens of millions died during World War II as the warring powers raced to create the best fighter planes, tanks, and guns, and eventually that race extended to bombs which carried enough power to destroy civilization itself. While the war raged in Europe and the Pacific, a dream team was working on the Manhattan Project in America, a program kept so secret that Vice President Harry Truman didn’t know about it until he took the presidency after FDR’s death in April 1945. During this time, J. Robert Oppenheimer emerged as an extraordinary scientific mind in the United States.

A Guided Tour of the Digitized Battlefield "You are tomorrow's soldier. You will play your part in the next major war America will wage." From these opening lines of Tomorrow's Soldier, David Alexander's excellent book on 21st century warfare, the author builds on this theme in a series of eight carefully researched and well-written chapters on combat in the combined arms battlespace of near-future conflicts. Sometimes in clear and concise descriptions of complex weapons systems such as stealth aircraft, main battle tanks and nuclear submarines, at other times in fast-paced narrative that ...

The justification for the atomic bomb was simple: it would defeat Hitler and end the Second World War faster, saving lives. The reality was different. Fallout dismantles the conventional story of why the atom bomb was built. Peter Watson has found documents showing that long before the Allied bomb was operational, it was clear that Germany had no atomic weapons of its own and was not likely to. The British knew this, but didn't share their knowledge with the Americans, who in turn deceived the British about the extent to which the Soviets had penetrated their plans for the bomb.

Jamie awakens after a rogue mission gone horribly wrong to find himself rebuilt with cybernetic steel and forcibly inducted into the ranks of an army of super soldiers known as the Borgers. With his family murdered, he and his newborn twins are the only ...

Centred on the inter-war years - within the ivy clad walls of Cambridge University's famed Cavendish Laboratory, amid the windswept valleys of north Wales, and in the industrial heartland of Birmingham - The Basis of Everything is the story of the coming of the atomic bomb, and how the unlikely union of two scientists - Ernest Rutherford, the son of a New Zealand farmer, and Mark Oliphant, a peace-loving vegetarian from a tiny Australian hills village - would change the world.

In the eight decades since the United States deployed the most destructive weapon ever used, conventional wisdom has held that American leaders were faced with a difficult choice: Invade Japan, which would have cost millions of Japanese and Allied lives in bloody combat, or use the fearsome atom bomb in the hopes of convincing the Japanese emperor to surrender. President Truman—in what many have come to regard as an immoral decision—ordered the military to drop the bomb. Now, historian Alex Wellerstein offers a revisionist narrative of what happened in the spring of 1945.

Author David Alexander brings his shock-and-awe writing style to the pages of this no-holds-barred action thriller.

Here, the US military and its strategic ...
