Weapon History

Das erste deutschsprachige Buch über DEWs! Überall auf der Welt erleben wir Angriffe mit Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs). Egal ob Hawaii, Kalifornien, Kanada, Australien oder China, weltweit gibt es unwiderlegbare Beweise, dass wir es hier nicht mit "Waldbränden" zu tun haben, sondern mit hochentwickelten Waffen angegriffen werden! Diese Waffen sind unsichtbar, lautlos und absolut tödlich! Die letzten Angriffe auf Maui im Jahr 2023 haben gezeigt, dass die Kontrolleure dieser Welt vor nichts zurückschrecken, um ihre dunkle Agenda umzusetzen.

Gunsmiths in early 19th-century America were helped along by noted artisans from Germany, Switzerland, and other European powers, but despite advances made in the European and American musket, the requirement of an exterior spark and percussion to ignite powder for a single-shot discharge remained the paradigm. Similarly, the era was unable to move past the cumbersome weapon that required at least half a minute to reload. The military compensation for such an ungainly and vulnerable process was the alternation of troop lines, in which one fired while the other reloaded from behind.

In April 1986 a series of explosions shook the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. Flames lit up the sky, and radiation escaped to contaminate the land and poison the people for years to come. While officials tried to hush up the accident, Svetlana Alexievich spent years collecting testimonies from survivors - clean-up workers, residents, firefighters, resettlers, widows, orphans - crafting their voices into a haunting oral history of fear, anger and uncertainty, but also dark humour and love.

This New York Times best-seller delivers the untold story behind the last battle of the Cold War, the rise of militant Islam, and how a colorful congressman from Texas conspired with a rogue CIA operative to launch the most successful covert operation in CIA history.

On July 16, 1945, the 'Trinity' Test effectively brought about the transformation of the ‘American Prometheus’ into the ‘Destroyer of Worlds’ along with an expedited dawn of the nuclear age as the Laws of Physics were successfully reappraised by the Homo Sapiens. However, the initial premise and the hopeful promise of the creation of a ‘Super Weapon’ to end all wars has remained more or less a chimera for humanity even after 7+ decades of its genesis. The dawn of the nuclear age; following Trinity and the subsequent atomic bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki; unleashed the Cold War-...

A estas alturas nadie puede poner en duda que la Segunda Guerra Mundial es una fuente inagotable de historias. Las complicadas operaciones militares, el elevado número de soldados y aparatos de guerra implicados, los estudios científicos destinados a revolucionar las infraestructuras bélicas o las herméticas teorías nazis, nos han dejado no pocos acontecimientos que aún hoy están sin responder.

A Comedy of Terror is a chilling book of fiction based on real events. Author Scully uses grim humour to cover the lunacy of some of the endeavours and concocts nightmares to peer into hell-holes he could not reach. The book covers two frantic decades from the 1970s to the end of the 1980s. It involves the trafficking of nuclear weapons by terrorists and power-crazed countries including Libya, Pakistan, North Korea, and Britain. While the Vietnam War ended in humiliating defeat for the United States and its oleaginous keeper of the lies Richard Nixon, that endless catastrophe known as the ...

In November 1944, the U.S. Navy fleet lay at anchor in Ulithi Harbor, deep in the Pacific Ocean, when the oiler USS Mississinewa erupted in a ball of flames. Japan's secret weapon, the Kaiten - a manned suicide submarine - had succeeded in its first mission. The Kaiten was so secret that even Japanese naval commanders didn't know of its existence. And the Americans kept it secret as well. Embarrassed by the shocking surprise attack, the U.S. Navy refused to salvage or inspect the sunken Mighty Miss.

In this concise account of why America used atomic bombs against Japan in 1945, J. Samuel Walker analyzes the reasons behind President Truman's most controversial decision. Delineating what was known and not known by American leaders at the time, Walker evaluates the options available for ending the war with Japan. In this new edition, Walker incorporates a decade of new research - mostly from Japanese archives only recently made available - that provides fresh insight on the strategic considerations that led to dropping the bomb.

The most important place in American nuclear history are the Marshall Islands - an idyllic Pacific paradise that served as the staging ground for more than 60 US nuclear tests. It was here, from 1946 to 1958, that America perfected the weapon that preserved the peace of the post-war years. It was here - with the 1954 Castle Bravo test over Bikini Atoll - that America executed its largest nuclear detonation, a thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima.

The Cold War between the United States of America and the Soviet Union lasted for more than 40 years. In general, this was a war of spies and subterfuge, of covert action and espionage. There was always a danger, however, that an error of judgment on either side could suddenly cause the Cold War to turn red-hot with an exchange of nuclear weapons. On many occasions, tensions between the countries increased, but the prospect of all-out nuclear war between America and Russia was never closer than during a two-week period in October of 1962.

The impossible has spawned the unthinkable. In 2021, a quantum military experiment goes horrifically wrong.

History is rewritten in an instant as the future smashes into the past, and high-tech hardware goes head to head with World War Two technology. In the chaos that ensues, thousands are killed, but the maelstrom has only just begun.

The End of the Road… Italy was a broken nation, and the noose was tightening around Germany and Japan. The Western Allies were poised to cross the Rhine and defeat for the Reich was just a matter of time, which didn’t mean they were about to see sense and end the war. In Europe the real question was where would the dividing line be drawn when the conflict was over? As relations between the Western Allies and the USSR turned colder each side wanted to ensure it gained the upper hand. In the Pacific divisions had also opened amongst the Allies, with the British focused on an advance to ...
