Caught up by a romantic sense of patriotism and encouraged to enlist by authority figures who would not risk their lives to do the same, Paul Bäumer and his classmates join the fighting in the trenches of the Western Front. He is soon disenchanted by the constant bombardments and ruthless struggle to survive. Through years in battle, Paul and those he serves with become men defined by the violence around them, desperate to stay as decent as they can while growing more and more distant from the society for which they are fighting. Hailed by many as the greatest war novel of all time, Erich Maria Remarque's masterpiece, All Quiet on the Western Front, is an elegant statement on a generation of men destroyed by war.

Major General Smedley Butler is one of the most decorated Marines of all time and is a legend among the Corps. Through conflicts like the Philippine-American War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Banana Wars, and the War to End All Wars, he helped define what the Marine Corps is today. Smedley starts in 1932 when Butler is retired from the Marines and has lost his bid to be a Pennsylvania senator. When he is invited to speak at the Bonus Army encampment in Washington D.C., he arrives early to mingle with the other veterans, who press him for stories about his legendary exploits. From there he flashes back to some of his most exciting deployments. Along the way, he goes from a boy who cowers at every gunshot, to a man who leads the charge.

In virtually every military conflict in recorded history animals have fought - and often died - alongside their human counterparts. While countless stories of the men and women who've served in the trenches, jungles, and deserts of the world's battlefields have been told, Four-Fisted Tales: Animals in Combat shares the stories of the animals who fought alongside them. From Hannibal's elephants in ancient Rome to mine-sniffing rats in Vietnam and everything in between, Four-Fisted Tales highlights the real-life contributions of these underappreciated animal warriors. Whether in active combat or simply as companions, these animals served and made their mark on history. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Since the publication of Alfred Thayer Mahan's seminal The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, the important and defining role of sea power on civilization has been recognized. This symbol of a nation's scientific and military genius has often been the deciding factor during major conflicts, putting the names of several clashes down into legend. In this collection, Jean-Yves Delitte and Giuseppe Baiguera plunge you into the heart of three of the twentieth century's greatest naval battles: Tsushima (1905), Jutland (1916), and Midway (1942).

July 1918. Preparing to speak to an eager audience, 61-year-old Teddy Roosevelt receives the telegram that all parents of children who serve in war fear most: His son Quentin's plane has been shot down in a dogfight over France. His fate is unknown. Despite rising fear for his youngest son, Teddy takes the stage to speak to his beloved fellow citizens. It is, he says, 'my simple duty.' But the speech evolves from politics and the war, into an examination of his life, the choices he's made, and the costs of his 'Warrior Philosophy.' Overflowing with his love of nature, adventure, and justice, Teddy dramatically illustrates the life of one of America's greatest presidents. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Stalingrad. From August 1942 to February 1943 this model industrial city, bathed by the waters of the Volga, was home to the bloodiest battle of World War II. Stalingrad: Letters from the Volga offers a fast-paced depiction of this titanic struggle: explicit, crude, and without concessions-just as the war and the memory of all those involved demands. Military and civilians alike paid with their lives for the personal fight between Stalin and Hitler, which materialized in long months of primitive conflict among the smoking ruins of Stalingrad and its surroundings. Take a chronological tour of the massacre, relive the fights, and feel the drama of trying to survive in a relentless hell of ice and snow. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

The 'Stan is a collection of short comics about America's longest war. The tales in this book-based on reporting by David Axe and Kevin Knodell and drawn by artist Blue Delliquanti are all true and took place in roughly the first decade of the U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan.

In the dead of night, eighty-three-year-old Marcel Grob is sequestered by an investigating judge who questions him about his past. Particularly beginning on June 28, 1944, the day when 'Marzell,' like ten thousand of his German-speaking peers from the French borderland province of Alsace, became a member of the Nazis' infamous Waffen SS. But did the teenager volunteer, or was he conscripted by the Nazis? Was he a 'Malgré-nous,' one of those forced to comply, or was he a war criminal? To establish the truth of his troubled past, Marcel Grob will have to revisit painful memories as an adolescent forced to fight in Italy with the sinister Reichsführer division. Determined to prove his innocence, Marcel begins the story of a long journey into night. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Inspired from assorted first-hand accounts, this fictional story of World War I is a sweeping look across the war and the soldiers who experienced the horrors of the front lines and high seas. The nightmares of World War I and the fallout after are often overlooked, this book asks the reader to look again and remember the dead, to weigh their number against those that would choose war. Conceived as a long, continuous camera pan through the trenches and beyond, the reader is soon buried in mud, corpses, and ruin, emerging on the other side with blurred recollections of lost comrades and a nagging sense of pointless destruction.

At the turn of the century, Seaman Apprentice Angela Azu is an ordinary Aviation Ordnanceman serving aboard a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. When she begins to develop an extraordinary ability, she doesn't understand, she pretends it's a parlor trick to entertain her crew mates. But an onboard mishap forces her to act and save a life, exposing her powers to her superiors and attracting the attention of classified operators within the government. Temporarily re-assigned ashore, she participates in tests and training to harness her abilities, but when the events of 9/11 occur, her training suddenly takes a decidedly different turn. Blue Angel grapples with questions of heroism, duty, and honor for both Angela and her fellow military personnel against the backdrop of historical events in Iraq and Afghanistan.
