Soldados con Historia número de colección: 3 Español 112 páginas / pages 24 largo 17 ancho Desde su nacimiento en la Primera Guerra Mundial, el carro decombate o tanque, ha provocado su intento de neutralizacion Hasta el desarrollo de las armas anticarro portatiles, la base de las armas anticarro era el cañon, y alrededor del mismo se diseñaba el elemento que lo iba a portar o, sencillamente, se remolcaba. Sera durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando el peso de arma acorazada lleve a buscar otro tipo de respuestas, como la de los aviones cazatanques (Typhoon, Stuka Ju-87 G, HS-129) y armamento especificamente diseñado para ello: cañon sin retroceso, municion subcalibrada o de nucleo de tungsteno,carga hueca, etc. Pero sera la amenaza de la sobredimensionada fuerza de tanques sovietica la que provoque una carrera armamentistica especifica que se ha ralentizado con la desaparicion de la Union Sovietica: blindajes tipo Cobham o reactivo, cargas huecas en tandem para neutralizar ese tipo de blindajes, proyectiles con nucleo de uranio reducido, helicopteros anticarro. Seis armas contracarro, con sus correspondientes hechos de armas, son desarrollados en la presente obra como muestra de un submundo dentro de la historia y la tecnologia militar. Se ha buscado representar su evolucion a lo largo del tiempo y, parafraseando a Platon, si bien no estan todos los que son, si son todos los que estan.

On 22 June 1944, three years to the day after Germany's 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, the Red Army launched a massive offensive in Byelorussia. Codenamed 'Operation Bagration', this campaign climaxed five weeks later with the Red Army at the gates of Warsaw. The Wehrmacht's Army Group Centre was routed, a total of 17 Wehrmacht divisions were utterly destroyed, and over 50 other German divisions were shattered. It was the most calamitous defeat of the German armed forces in World War II.

The development of field armies has involved much more sophistication than generally supposed. In both practice and theory, army operations have been as knowledge-based and intellectually rigorous as any academic discipline, ensuring them an enduring place as a practical means of applying massive force. Fortunately, the NATO attempt to replace conventional armies with nuclear technology was never tested in a real war. But English suggests that the likelihood of deterrence continuing in war, because of its transmutability, also offers hope that it can be controlled in the future, as it was in the past, by social forces. This book offers a longer, more realistic view of war than that normally embraced by technocrats in search of better weapons and peacemakers in search of utopia. This book also addresses in detail the questions of why armies became so large and why war itself transmutated. The technological transformation of war that occurred after 1815 is discussed, in turn, for the effect it exerted upon the future operations of armies. A novel perspective on the tactical and operational progression of warfighting up to the end of World War II is also provided through an examination of modern defensive theory. On a more elevated plane, the book critically assesses the ways in which nuclear deterrence ultimately affected NATO''s defensive posture in central Europe. Also subjected to detailed scrutiny are the theoretical and practical dimensions of ground force concepts for the defense of the NATO central front. Finally, English evaluates ground force operations in the Gulf War with a view to drawing relevant conclusions and lessons for the future.
