Researching World War I
World War I was the greatest cataclysm Europe had ever known, directly involving 61 million troops from 16 nations. Yet the history of the war and the reasons it started and spread so rapidly were vastly more complex than the players realized. Written by highly respected authorities, this book discusses the literature on all aspects of the war, making it an excellent starting point for anyone seeking guidance to the immense, and often daunting, b…

Since "good business" is where "good policy" begins in contemporary capitalistic democracies, rather than competing directly with economic priorities for ranking on the natio…
Sidewinder
Sidewinder air-to-air missile development from 1947 to the present was, Ron Westrum believes, a stage in missile-systems development between a successful skunk-works organizational style that evolved out of World War II and complex, bureaucratic, legalistic, impersonal establishments, whether governmental or commercial, that stifle innovation and produce expensive but not necessarily effective defenses.
