Much has been written of the Russian T-34 tank as one of the great surprises of World War II There are reasons for that, yet another good Russian tank - which was named for a Peoples' Commissar for Defense at the time of the Russian Revolution, Clement Voroshilov (Klimenti Woroshilow, KW or KV for short) - has almost slipped into obscurity in its shadow озщщл While the T-34 was a medium tank by the standards of the times, the KV ranked among the heavy tanks and became the forerunner of the menacing Joseph Stalin tank, which appeared in the last years of the war and was the direct ancestor of today's T-72 Russian tanks As of 1939 Russia had only the T-35 heavy tank, plus a few of its forerunners, the T-32 It was a giant with five turrets and a ten-man (!) crew It still got into action against the German Wehrmacht in 1941 but had very little effect, since it showed too many weaknesses: Its armor protected only against small-caliber bullets and shrapnel, its steering had technical defects, and its length made it immobile Формат: 28 см x 21 см Иллюстрации Автор Horst Scheibert.  Серия: Schiffer Military History.

Amazon comVeteran aviation writer John J Nance, a commercial pilot and TV commentator as well as a bestselling author, weighs in with a timely thriller whose near misses in the sky can't compete for drama with the political suspense unfolding on the ground Former U S president John Harris, a principled politician who walked away from certain reelection озщът because of a campaign promise to serve a single term, barely misses arrest on an Interpol warrant accusing him of violating the Treaty Against Torture by ordering a CIA operation against a biological weapons laboratory in Peru that resulted in the mutilation and murder of hundreds of innocent civilians The Peruvian government's hired gun is a British barrister who's tangled with Harris before; Harris's is an old friend and defrocked Texas judge who's languishing in obscurity at a Wyoming college when his former mentor calls on him for help--and who, not so coincidentally, has a deep-seated fear of flying An added fillip is the plot's many references to the ongoing extradition battle over former Chilean President Augusto Pinochet on similar charges But the real hero of this fast-paced suspense story is Craig Dayton, a reserve military officer and captain of the Boeing 737 that's running out of fuel as it searches for a safe harbor for Harris--not easy to find, since every nation in Europe has signed the treaty and will arrest Harris as soon as he lands It's a brilliant setup, and Nance handles it more than competently Unusual for this writer, he pays as much attention to his human characters, their motivations and complexities, as he does to the aeronautical details Harris is a bit overdone--what president ever walked away from a sure reelection win? And a secondary plot line featuring a group of veterans on Harris's flight who come to the aid of their former commander in chief errs on the side of sentimentality Even so, this is a first-class read from a million-mile writer --Jane AdamsBook DescriptionIn Athens, a Boeing 737 noses into the gate, and its crew is suddenly confronted by Greek officials waiting to arrest one of its passengers, a beloved ex-President of the United States, John Harris Captain Craig Dayton, believing Harris' life is in danger, stages a daring escape by backing the jet away from the gate without clearance and taking off down a vacant runway The dilemma for Captain Dayton and his precious cargo is that Peru has signed an Interpol warrant for President Harris' arrest, usingthe same treaty employed to extradite former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet The Peruvian government alleges that Harris is personally responsible for a supposed CIA-led strike against a biological weapons factory during his term of office But the nightmare for Harris - and the U S State Department - is this: There is no place to hide, because almost every nation in the world has signed the treaty and every one of them must honor the warrant and give Peru what it wants - a president to humiliate on the international stage Captain Dayton flies Harris and his crew on an against-the-clock mission around the world to find a safe haven, while Harris' rumpled and out-gunned lawyer wrestles an international team of legal sharks snapping at their biggest prize yet Download Description"Athens, Greece As a Boeing 737 noses into its gate, its crew is suddenly confronted by Greek officials waiting to arrest one of its passengers, a beloved ex-president of the United States, John Harris Believing Harris's life is in danger, Captain Craig Dayton stages a daring escape by backing the jet away from the gate without clearance and taking off down a vacant runway The dilemma for Captain Dayton and his precious cargo is that Peru has signed an Interpol Warrant for President Harris's arrest, using the same treaty employed by Spain to extradite former Chilean dictator Pinochet The Peruvian government alleges that Harris is personally responsible for a supposed CIA-led strike against a biological weapons factory during his term of office But Harris's--and the U S State Department's--nightmare is this: There is no place to hide because every nation in the Pan-American federation has signed the treaty and any one of them must honor the warrant and give Peru what it wants: a presidential pawn to humiliate on the international stage Captain Dayton flies Harris and his crew on an against-the-clock mission to find a safe haven--from Greece to Sicily to Ireland--while Harris's rumpled and outgunned lawyer wrestles an international team of legal sharks snapping at their biggest prize yet Headwind is another electrifying novel from ""a wonderful storyteller"" (Chicago Tribune) whose ""hand for crackling intensity remains peerless"" (Kirkus Reviews) ".  2004 г ISBN 1593350341.

"True patriotism consists in laying bare everything like public vice, and in calling such things by their right names The great enemy of the race has made a deep inroad upon us, within the last ten or a dozen years, under cover of a spurious delicacy on the subject of exposing national ills; and it is time that they who have not been afraid to praise, озщьк when praise was merited, should not shrink from the office of censuring, when the want of timely warnings may be one cause of the most fatal evils The great practical defect of institutions like ours, is the circumstance that 'what is everybody's business, is nobody's business;' a neglect that gives to the activity of the rogue a very dangerous ascendancy over the more dilatory correctives of the honest man " -- From James Fenimore Cooper's Introduction.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 384 стр ISBN 1606643932.

This book presents a radically different argument for what has caused, and likely will continue to cause, the collapse of emerging market economies Pettis combines the insights of economic history, economic theory, and finance theory into a comprehensive model for understanding sovereign liability management and the causes of financial crises озщьъ He examines recent financial crises in emerging market countries along with the history of international lending since the 1820s to argue that the process of international lending is driven primarily by external events and not by local politics and/or economic policies He draws out the corporate finance implications of this approach to argue that most of the current analyses of trecent financial crises suffered by Latin America, Asia, and Russia have largely missed the point He then develops a sovereign finance model, analogous to corporate finance, to understand the capital structure needs of emerging market countries Using this model, he finally puts into perspective the recent crises, a new sovereign liability management theory, the implications of the model for sovereign debt restructurings, and the new financial architecture Bridging the gap between finance specialists and traders, on the one hand, andeconomists and policy-makers on the other, The Volatility Machine is critical reading for anyone interested in where the international economy is going over the next several years.  ISBN 0195143302.

This first full-length expos in English of Japan's all-powerful institution, the Ministry of Finance, not only reveals the inner workings of the Ministry but also sounds a warning about the impact of its growing abuses of power on world financial markets Japan's Ministry of Finance--the mighty Okurasho--controls the majority of the country's озщэб largest corporations, banks, and national financial institutions Yet, it bows to neither Parliament nor the Prime Minister In effect, its actions can sway theJapanese economy and affect financial markets worldwide The real danger lies in the fact that it has focused on nation-building at any cost, acting increasingly from pure unenlightened self-interest-as evidenced by its role in the recent Daiwa scandal This timely and engaging book sounds a warning that any manager, investor, or regulator who deals with world markets, and especially with Japan, cannot afford to ignore.  ISBN 0875847854.

This major new work looks at what debt meant to Thomas Jefferson and how that affected his political career and the early history of the American Republic Sloan argues that Jefferson was always obsessed by debt: in the public sphere because he felt that it robbed people of their independence, and in the private because he was dogged by debt throughout озщэм his life The book depicts Jefferson as a typical representative of the Virginia gentry, subject to debt during this period, but also as a tireless warrior against public debt, first as governor of Virginia and later as President of the United States Sloan also discusses the role of debt in the American Revolution and Jefferson's vision of political power as the means of redressing economic power that he felt was in the hands of creditors.  ISBN 0813920930.

Amazon comWhen Beckett is transplanted to an upscale school in Manhattan after the death of her mother, she is not surprised to be snubbed by the in-crowd What does surprise her, and her loving father, is that when she looks out her apartment window one night, the three most popular girls in school are dead on the asphalt below, their blue jeans seeping озщэч blood Beckett is already prone to Holden Caulfield-like observations about the fakeness around her, the propensity of the people she meets to become only "movie stars" acting their parts Are the suicides imaginary? And what about her new friend, Pamela, the school nurse, who begins to date her father? Is this woman's concern purely affectionate or does Beckett, a beautiful young virgin, have something that she wants? Following the quiet wedding of Pamela and Beckett's father, held in the apartment, Beckett opens her bathroom door to find the toilet full of blood At once she recognizes the blood as "a sacred symbol, a message, a warning, a sign " In fear, she imagines it spilling over the bowl, splashing her hands and face "Then the fear dies down," Beckett explains, "and I see that the blood is just a liquid, nothing but a surprise But as the loud, throaty sound of the flush fills my head and I turn off the light, I know that the blood means something I know that the blood is not just a surprise I know that it is meant for me " Using Carol Clover's concept of the final girl--the one who survives by learning to kill--in slasher films, Jane Mendelsohn (I Was Amelia Earhart) offers a brilliant and sinister vision of a schoolgirl's loss of innocence As for the virgin suicides, the bats, the bloody bundles in the freezer, the reader comes to realize, with Beckett, thatit doesn't matter what is real, only what is true --Regina MarlerBook DescriptionAn electrifying follow-up to her bestselling I Was Amelia Earhart, Jane Mendelsohn's Innocence is a modern gothic coming-of-age story, a devastating X-ray of American culture, and a piercing exploration of a teenage girl growing up in New York City Narrated with incisive wit by fourteen-year-old Becket, the novel traces her relationship with her widowed father, her encounters with the intimidating Beautiful Girls at school, her attraction to the mysterious and dangerous school nurse, her attachment to the raffish Tobey, and a series of devastating nightmares that threaten Becket's life as she moves from girl to woman Mendelsohn has written an allegory about the precarious state of the American teenager in a culture that sucks the life force out of its young, who are nurtured by the movies and fantasy and narcissism rather than by values such as honesty and love This is a world as startingly original and hauntingly familiar as our dreams, where the line between fantasy and reality, between sanity and insanity, is razor-thin Playful, frightening, profound, and gripping, Innocence is the rare thing - a page turner with the depth of poetry and the immediacyof cinema.  2005 г ISBN 1596005793.
