Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans la lignée des Mythes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, vingt erreurs stratégiques d'envergure expliquées par une équipe d'historiens et la rédaction de Guerres & Histoire, dirigées par Jean Lopez et Olivier Wieviorka. La Seconde Guerre mondiale a duré près de six années, aussi longues que terribles. Cette durée s'explique, bien entendu, par les formidables moyens que les belligérants déployèrent sur terre, sur mer et dans les cieux : il était vain d'espérer abattre l'ennemi par une campagne unique ou une bataille décisive. Mais les erreurs commises expliquent aussi que ce conflit se soit éternisé. Si Hitler ne s'était pas obstiné à gagner la bataille d'Angleterre ou à prendre Stalingrad, si la France, en mai 1940, n'avait pas imprudemment lancé ses forces en Belgique et en Hollande, si les Anglo-Américains n'avaient pas débarqué en Afrique du Nord..., la face de la guerre en eût été changée et sa durée vraisemblablement raccourcie. En traquant les erreurs commises par les deux camps, ce livre vise à explorer la rationalité des acteurs. Car les décisions prises par les dirigeants politiques ou les chefs militaires reposaient sur un ensemble de paramètres qu'il importe de décrire, afin de comprendre pourquoi ils menèrent à l'échec. Les stratégies se fondaient sur des informations parfois imparfaites, sur des moyens souvent limités, sur des hypothèses par moment fallacieuses. Autant de facteurs qui conduisirent, plus d'une fois, au désastre, comme aussi l'orgueil, l'obstination, le carriérisme et l'opportunisme menant à la prise de (mauvaises) décisions. Autant de cas de figures qu'illustreront, de Stalingrad à " Market Garden ", de la stratégie navale des Japonais à l'insurrection de Varsovie, vingt contributions proposées par les meilleurs spécialistes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Les erreurs : L' appeasement ; Le Japon attaque la Chine ; Hitler choisit l'Italie ; La manœuvre " Dyle-Bréda " ; Le Haltbefehl devant Dunkerque ; L'armistice de 1940 ; L'intervention italienne en Grèce ; " Barbarossa " ; Ne pas capturer Malte ; Dieppe 1942 ; L'abandon de Singapour ; Le débarquement en Afrique du Nord ; Midway ; La politique arabe du Reich ; Monte Cassino ; Stalingrad ; Le bombardement stratégique ; L' unconditional surrender ; L'insurrection de Varsovie ; " Market Garden ".

Download or read book La Reconstruction en Europe Apr s la Premi re Et la Seconde Guerre Mondiale Et Le R le de la Conservation Des Monuments Historiques written by Nicholas Bullock and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living with History focuses on a particular aspect of heritage preservation in the twentieth century: destruction and postwar reconstruction in Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, and The Netherlands. This book establishes a status quaestionis for the historiography of wartime and postwar preservation, and sets these particular developments in preservation history in the context of the general evolution of architecture and urbanism. The authors investigate the specific role of conservationists and heritage institutions and administrations in the overall reconstruction and examine the part played by architects and planners in heritage preservation.
Download or read book Fiabilit technique et humaine written by LYONNET Patrick and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De tout temps l’homme a sans doute voulu construire des choses fiables. Mais les évaluations quantifiées, probabilisées ont vu le jour récemment d’abord pour systèmes militaires (missiles, satellites) puis nucléaires, automobiles et les biens d’équipements. On peut citer que dès 1906 les constructeurs de tubes à vides américains se sont préoccupés de fiabilité, de là est née la fiabilité électronique, puis mécanique, informatique et humaine des systèmes et composants. Cette évolution contemporaine a produit de nombreux outils, concepts et méthodes. Ces développements sont au centre de l’ouvrage. Fiabilité Technique et Humaine rassemble les concepts, techniques et outils de la fiabilité des composants et systèmes en considérant toutes les technologies et dimensions, notamment la mécanique, l’électronique, l’informatique et les aspects humains. En effet, les erreurs humaines sont à l’origine de nombreuses défaillances et de ce fait ne peuvent être ignorées lors de la conception ou du maintien des installations. Les diverses formes de fiabilité, prévisionnelle, expérimentale et opérationnelle sont explicitées et illustrées aux travers d’applications industrielles. Les concepts, outils et techniques de fiabilité les plus complexes sont présentés à partir d’exemples permettant au lecteur de se familiariser avec ce domaine. La présentation très didactique de ces concepts, étayée par plus de 100 exercices et problèmes corrigés en fait un ouvrage incontournable pour la maîtrise de la fiabilité technique et humaine.

Download or read book Joe Biden written by Evan Osnos and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise, brilliant and trenchant examination of Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his lifelong quest for the presidency Former vice president Joseph R. Biden Jr. has been called both the luckiest man and the unluckiest - fortunate to have sustained a fifty-year political career that reached the White House, but also marked by deep personal losses that he has suffered. Yet even as Biden's life has been shaped by drama, it has also been powered by a willingness, rare at the top ranks of politics, to confront his shortcomings, errors and reversals of fortune. His trials have forged in him a deep empathy for others in hardship - an essential quality as he addresses a nation at its most dire hour in decades. Blending up-close journalism and broader context, Evan Osnos illuminates Biden's life and captures the characters and meaning of an extraordinary presidential election. He draws on lengthy interviews with Biden and on revealing conversations with more than a hundred others, including President Barack Obama, Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, and a range of progressive activists, advisers, opponents, and Biden family members. In this nuanced portrait, Biden emerges as flawed, yet resolute, and tempered by the flame of tragedy - a man who just may be uncannily suited for his moment in history.
Download or read book Operation Barbarossa written by David M Glantz and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 22 June 1941 Hilter unleashed his forces on the Soviet Union. Spearheaded by four powerful Panzer groups and protected by an impenetrable curtain of air support, the seemingly invincible Wehrmacht advanced from the Soviet Union's western borders to the immediate outskirts of Leningrad, Moscow and Rostov in the shockingly brief period of less than six months. The sudden, deep, relentless German advance virtually destroyed the entire peacetime Red Army and captured almost 40 percent of European Russia before expiring inexplicably at the gates of Moscow and Leningrad. An invasion designed to achieve victory in three to six weeks failed and, four years later, resulted in unprecendented and total German defeat. David Glantz challenges the time-honoured explanation that poor weather, bad terrain and Hitler's faulty strategic judgement produced German defeat, and reveals how the Red Army thwarted the German Army's dramatic and apparently inexorable invasion before it achieved its ambitious goals.

Download or read book Shattered Sword written by Jonathan Parshall and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many consider the Battle of Midway to have turned the tide of the Pacific War. It is without question one of the most famous battles in history. Now, for the first time since Gordon W. Prange s bestselling "Miracle at Midway," Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully offer a new interpretation of this great naval engagement. Unlike previous accounts, "Shattered Sword" makes extensive use of Japanese primary sources. It also corrects the many errors of Mitsuo Fuchida s "Midway: The Battle That Doomed Japan," an uncritical reliance upon which has tainted every previous Western account. It thus forces a major, potentially controversial reevaluation of the great battle. The authors examine the battle in detail and effortlessly place it within the context of the Imperial Navy s doctrine and technology. With a foreword by leading WWII naval historian John Lundstrom, "Shattered Sword" will become an indispensable part of any military buff s library. Winner of the 2005 John Lyman Book Award for the "Best Book in U.S. Naval History" and cited by "Proceedings" as one of its "Notable Naval Books" for 2005."
