中文概要: 这是一本开创性的书，2005年首次在俄罗斯出版，现在，瓦来利•扎穆林对库尔斯克普罗霍罗夫卡大冲突期间战斗严峻考验的研究有了英文版图书。扎穆林曾是普罗霍罗夫卡战场国家博物馆的工作人员，他多年来一直致力于研究库尔斯克战役，尤其是其南部侧翼的战斗，其中包括著名的亲卫队装甲部队对红军纵深防御的进攻。扎穆林对俄罗斯国防部秘密的中央档案馆进行了五年的深入研究，详细阐述了双方的计划和战术，最终于1943年7月12日在普罗霍罗夫卡发生了著名而有争议的冲突。扎穆林巧妙地将红军和国防军士兵和军官的回忆融入战斗的叙事中，书中部分内容借用了普罗霍罗夫卡战场国家博物馆的文件。扎穆林有居住在普罗霍罗夫卡的优势，因此他多次在战场上行走，对地形有着深入的了解。

扎穆林主要从苏联方面考察了这场战斗，揭示了红军在库尔斯克，尤其是普罗霍罗夫卡的真实代价和成就。他考察了阻碍沃罗涅日阵线遏制第四装甲军进攻的错误部署和错误决定，以及红军士兵和下级军官英勇自我牺牲的战斗，因为他们试图阻止德国的前进，然后于7月12日在普罗霍罗夫卡进行猛烈反击，粉碎了党卫队装甲军。这一天的战斗受到了特别的关注，因为扎穆林努力澄清交战部队的相对规模、这场战斗的实际面积以及双方所遭受的代价。P•A•罗特密斯特夫将军的第5近卫坦克军和A•S•沙多兹将军的5近卫军猛烈攻击亲卫队第1装甲掷弹兵师警卫旗队阿道夫•希特勒、亲卫队第3装甲掷弹师“骷髅”和亲卫队第2装甲掷弹手师达斯•雷奇的一部分，造成的损失尤其严重，扎穆林反复核实了反攻的细节，了解造成这样结果的原因。

扎穆林并没有无视肯普夫集团军第三装甲军团对第四装甲军右翼经常被忽视的努力，这一军团试图跟上党卫队装甲军团的前进步伐，然后突破北顿涅茨河的防线，与普罗霍罗夫卡地区的左邻相连。扎穆林描述了苏联最高司令部和沃罗涅日阵线如何用已经被击溃的部队迅速拼凑出这条防线，但需要以牺牲在普罗霍罗夫卡的反击为代价，用新的编队进行增援。

扎穆林的书印刷在厚重的纸上，并配以许多照片（包括一个显示当今战场景色的彩色部分）、特别委托绘制的彩色地图和大量的数据表，对库尔斯克战役文献的发展做出了杰出贡献，进一步摧毁了围绕这场战役成长起来的许多神话和传说。（ZY)

英文简介: New York Times Bestseller: A “virtually faultless” account of the last weeks of WWII in the Pacific from both Japanese and American perspectives (The New York Times Book Review).

By midsummer 1945, Japan had long since lost the war in the Pacific. The people were not told the truth, and neither was the emperor. Japanese generals, admirals, and statesmen knew, but only a handful of leaders were willing to accept defeat. Most were bent on fighting the Allies until the last Japanese soldier died and the last city burned to the ground.

Exhaustively researched and vividly told, The Fall of Japan masterfully chronicles the dramatic events that brought an end to the Pacific War and forced a once-mighty military nation to surrender unconditionally.

From the ferocious fighting on Okinawa to the all-but-impossible mission to drop the 2nd atom bomb, and from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s White House to the Tokyo bunker where tearful Japanese leaders first told the emperor the truth, William Craig captures the pivotal events of the war with spellbinding authority. The Fall of Japan brings to life both celebrated and lesser-known historical figures, including Admiral Takijiro Onishi, the brash commander who drew up the Yamamoto plan for the attack on Pearl Harbor and inspired the death cult of kamikaze pilots., This astonishing account ranks alongside Cornelius Ryan’s The Longest Day and John Toland’s The Rising Sun as a masterpiece of World War II history.

英文简介: France, October 1944. A Japanese American war hero has a secret.

A secret so awful he’d rather die than tell anyone--one so entwined with the brave act that made him a hero that he’s determined never to speak of the war. Ever.

Decades later his son, Daniel Tokunaga, a world-famous cardiac surgeon, is perplexed when the U.S. government comes calling, wanting to know about his father’s service with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team during WWII. Something terrible happened while his father was fighting the Germans in France, and the Department of Defense won’t stop its investigation until it’s determined exactly who did what.

Wanting answers of his own, Daniel upends his life to find out what his father did on a small, obscure hilltop half a world away. As his quest for the truth unravels his family’s catastrophic past, the only thing for certain is that nothing--his life, career, and family--can ever be the same again.

英文简介: The fate of the East rests on the edge of a sword as the legions and the Goths march to war… 378 AD: Fritigern’s Gothic horde tightens its iron grip on Thracia and only a handful of well-walled cities to the south remain in imperial hands. The few tattered legions pinned in these cities can only watch on from the battlements as smoke rises across their lost lands and the Goths roam at will, pillaging and extorting. Every Roman – legionary or citizen – speaks of only one thing: the Emperors of East and West, Valens and Gratian, who are said to be closing swiftly on this war-stricken land, each bringing with them vast armies capable of vanquishing the horde. Awaiting the relief armies in Constantinople, Centurion Pavo and the XI Claudia prepare as best they can. The Gothic War has taken much from each of them, and none more so than Pavo. But still he and his fellow officers cling to the chance that two lost to them might yet return: their leaders, Tribunus Gallus and Primus Pilus Dexion – Pavo’s brother – have not been seen or heard from since setting off on a mission to Emperor Gratian’s court in the West. Some are sure they must have fallen, yet Pavo refuses to give up hope, instead whetting his blade and praying that fate will guide the pair back in time for the clash that is to come: a clash that promises to end the Gothic War – for the empire’s finest legions are destined to meet Fritigern’s ferocious masses… on the plains of Adrianople.

英文简介: The storm is upon us, Haga. The answers you seek dance within its wrath . . . 1071 AD. Emperor Romanus Diogenes has rekindled the guttering flame of Byzantium. Yet in the eastern borderlands, two vital strongholds hang in the balance. Manzikert and Chliat must be won to secure the empire’s fragile frontiers and vanquish the would-be usurpers who covet the imperial throne. But Sultan Alp Arslan and his vast Seljuk armies look to those twin fortress-towns also, resolute on seizing them first. Apion rides by the emperor’s side as they march east, marshalling Byzantium’s armies for the conflict that is to come. He knows only too well that the threat posed by the Sultan’s hordes is well-matched by malevolent forces within the Byzantine ranks. Thus, the road to war is a savage one, but one he cannot refuse. For at its end, Fate beckons, taunting him with a choice of two futures. On the plains of Manzikert, one great power will rise and another will fall. On the plains of Manzikert, Apion will face the storm.

英文简介: The empire is on its knees, but a last hope lies beyond the eastern frontier . . . 377 AD: Emperor Valens has stripped the Persian frontier of its legions, sending every available man to Thracia in an effort to contain the rampaging Gothic hordes. Now, covetous eyes have fallen upon Rome’s trade-rich but sparsely defended desert provinces. Shapur II, Shahanshah of the Sassanid Empire and his many client kings have long believed Rome’s eastern holdings to be theirs by ancestral right, and those lands have never been more vulnerable. Thus, Valens must grasp at the slimmest of hopes that a Persian invasion can be staved off, not by the brute force of absent legions, but by the tenacity of a hardy few. For in the heart of enemy lands, something thought long lost might just offer salvation. When Optio Numerius Vitellius Pavo and a select group of the XI Claudia are summoned to the Persian front, they leave Thracia behind, knowing little of what awaits them. They know only that they are to march into a burning land of strange gods. They whisper tales of the mighty Persian Savaran cavalry and pray to Mithras they will see their homes and families again. All too soon it becomes clear to them that this is no ordinary mission – indeed, the very fate of the empire might rest upon their efforts. But for Pavo the burden is weightier still, for he knows that the east also holds something even more precious to him . . . the truth about his father.

英文简介: The Roman Empire is crumbling, and a shadow looms in the east… 376 AD: the Eastern Roman Empire is alone against the tide of barbarians swelling on her borders. Emperor Valens juggles the paltry border defences to stave off invasion from the Goths north of the Danube. Meanwhile, in Constantinople, a pact between faith and politics spawns a lethal plot that will bring the dark and massive hordes from the east crashing down on these struggling borders. The fates conspire to see Numerius Vitellius Pavo, enslaved as a boy after the death of his legionary father, thrust into the limitanei, the border legions, just before they are sent to recapture the long-lost eastern Kingdom of Bosporus. He is cast into the jaws of this plot, so twisted that the survival of the entire Roman world hangs in the balance…
