Chatham Dockyard: The Rise and Fall of a Military Industrial Complex (Repost)

Founded in 1570, Chatham Dockyard quickly became one of the most important naval yards for the repair and building of warships, maintaining a pre-eminent position for the next 400 years. Located on the River Medway, the yard was responsible for the construction of over 500 warships in all, these ranging from simple naval pinnaces to first-rates that fought at Trafalgar, and concluding with the hunter-killer submarines of the nuclear age. In this detailed new history of the yard from experienced local and maritime author Philip MacDougall, particular attention is given to the final 200 years of the yard’s history, the artisans and labourers who worked ther,e and the changing methods used in the construction of some of the finest warships to enter naval service. Coinciding with the dockyard’s seeking status as a World Heritage site, this fascinating history places Chatham firmly in its overall historical context.

Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler[Repost]

Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler by William L. Shirer

English | Feb. 12, 1984 | ISBN: 0394862708 | 81 Pages | PDF | 5.65 MB

At daybreak on September 1, 1939, the German army poured across the Polish border while German bombers rained destruction from the skies, WW II had begun–"Hitler"s war," as the British say. As an American correspondent in Berlin, William Shirer had met Hitler, listened to his fiery speeches, and observed him firsthand. THE RISE AND FALL OF ADOLF HITLER is based on what Shirer saw and on his later research of the massive files captured by the Allies. "Hitler"s conquest was classic. He double-crossed his friends, massacred millions, plunged the world into its bloodiest war…and buried his own nation in the process. In Hitler, tryanny found nearly perfect exposition."
