The Central Asian region is an age-old east-west and north-south trade and transport crossroads. While welcoming new trade, aid, and other ties, the leaders of Central Asia have been less receptive to calls to democratise and respect human rights. This book discusses the internal and external security concerns of the Central Asian states which include mixes of social disorder, crime, corruption, terrorism, ethnic and civil conflict, border tensions, water and transport disputes, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and trafficking of illegal narcotics and persons and the scope of U.S. interest and presence in the region.

The Military Revolution and Revolutions in Military Affairs


Free Download Mark Fissel, "The Military Revolution and Revolutions in Military Affairs"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3110657252, 3111518884 | PDF | pages: 482 | 172.2 mb
The Military Revolution and Revolutions in Military Affairs updates two central debates in military history-the one surrounding the concept of military revolution, and the one on military affairs-whilst advancing original research in both fields. Only a handful of publications consider the military revolution and the RMA in tandem. This book breaks new ground conceptually and appeals to an exceptionally large and diverse readership. Comparative revisionist studies of the military revolution and RMA better enable us to comprehend the historical continuum and reveal the new RMA for what it is. And for what it is shortly to become.

A Review of the Affairs of France. Volume 3 1706


Free Download Daniel DeFoe, John McVeagh, "A Review of the Affairs of France. Volume 3: 1706"
English | 2005 | ISBN: 185196794X | PDF | pages: 918 | 23.8 mb
One of Daniel Defoe’s greatest achievements was the writing and publication of his Review. Covering his many interests, both contemporary and historical, Defoe published his journal twice and latterly three times a week. The print run was thought to be just 400 therefore making surviving runs very rare. Also the condition of the originals is mainly poor making a facsimile version difficult. This edition has been completely reset and annotated. Publishing two volumes to cover one year’s output, the whole of Defoe’s text is to be reproduced in 18 volumes. Each year will have an introduction, textual notes and new index. The final volume in the series will have a consolidated index.
