"War games are as ancient, varied and complex as war itself. Across centuries and around the world, military planners have developed games to meet challenges and hone tactics. Many of the games we play at home, from chess to online multiplayer battles, have been shaped by contemporary and historic conflicts. War is not a game. Yet war games offer insights into our relationship with real and virtual armed conflict. In this expansive introduction to wargaming, find out how games -- from tabletop battlefields to digital simulations -- have been used to train military personnel. Explore the connections between military conflicts and popular games. And read thought-provoking perspectives from professional gamers, researchers, designers and veterans."-- Provided by publisher.

"Richard J. Aldrich and Rory Cormac reveal the remarkable relationship between the British Royal Family and the intelligence community, from the reign of Queen Victoria, through two world wars and the Cold War, to the present day. Based on painstaking archival research, the authors have uncovered a wealth of detail that changes our understanding of the role of the monarch in modern British politics, intelligence, and international relations. Far from being a dry tome, on page after page Crown, Cloak, and Dagger offers surprising revelations and stories of intrigue. The book begins with the reign of Queen Victoria, when persistent attempts to assassinate her demanded the creation of security services. Successive queens and kings have all played an active role in steering British intelligence, sometimes running parallel networks against the wishes of prime ministers. Even today, Queen Elizabeth II receives "copy No.1" of every intelligence report and likely knows more state secrets than any person alive. This book demonstrates that even in the era of constitutional monarchy, queens and kings continue to be far more than figureheads of state. Crown, Cloak, and Dagger is a fascinating and fast-paced history that will inform as well as entertain anyone with an interest in history, espionage, and the Royal Family"-- Provided by publisher.

"The A-10 is the Air Force's unlikely success story, an airplane designed to support the Army, and one that ground troops came to venerate. Originally conceived with the express purpose of destroying Soviet tanks, the Air Force only developed it to keep funding away from the Army's response to the mission, the AH-56 Cheyenne helicopter. Inspired by the biography of a tank-busting German pilot in World War II, the engineering and design of the A-10 fell to Pierre Sprey, a precious civilian who'd enrolled at Yale when he was just 15-years-old, and now, barely 30, was exiled to a Pentagon backwater with little, if any, supervision. The end result was one of the finest military aircraft ever built, a plane essentially constructed around a 19.5-foot, 4,000-pound cannon that fired 30mm depleted uranium bullets at a blistering rate. Looking like it was built from discarded airplane parts, it was probably the ugliest combat aircraft ever built, thus the "Warthog" appellation. But it was also an incredibly reliable ground attack aircraft, beloved by ground troops from Iraq to Afghanistan. Despite repeated attempts to replace it with stealth aircraft and drones, over 280 A-10s remain in service today, serviced by dedicated and imaginative engineers and maintainers, and defended by a fervent cohort of advocates descended from the Military Reform movement. This is the story of intra-service rivalries, Pentagon obsessions with speed and stealth over tactical simplicity, and an aircraft that shows no sign of obsolescence as it nears fifty years in service"-- Provided by publisher.

"Popularisée en 1910 dans le cadre du projet de recrutement d'une "force noire" en Afrique occidentale, la catégorie de "race guerrière" est utilisée dans l'empire colonial français des années 1850 à la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale. Elle y désigne certaines populations jugées particulièrement aptes à porter les armes, pour des raisons à la fois biologiques et culturelles : Bambara, Wolof et Toucouleurs d'Afrique de l'Ouest, Sakalava de Madagascar et habitants des hauts plateaux du Vietnam partagent ainsi le privilège discutable d'avoir été considérés par les Français comme des "soldats nés", prédisposés à exercer et à subir la violence extrême des guerres des XIXe et XXe siècles. Menée à partir d'archives militaires, médicales et coloniales, cette étude retrace l'apparition et le développement d'une catégorie méconnue, fruit de la rencontre entre les officiers français et les populations colonisées, et mesure les conséquences concrètes et durables des stéréotypes raciaux sur la vie des individus. Elle propose ainsi une histoire nouvelle de la pensée raciale en France, attentive à ses contradictions, à ses effets pratiques et à ses mirages."--Page 4 of cover.
