Spetsnaz used to be a name to strike fear into the hearts of Russia’s enemies. But now that the country has gone to the dogs, Dima Mayakovsky – once a revered figure inside the elite Special Forces unit – wants no part of it any more. But when a dangerous fugitive surfaces in Tehran, Dima is the man Kremlin wants to bring him in. There is no option: the ex-Spetsnaz legend must lead his team of battle-hardened operatives into combat, not something you can hide from the US recce satellites circling above. This means that Dima and his men become Marine Sergeant Henry ‘Black’ Blackburn’s problem. As Iran descends into chaos, Dima and Black are forced to question everything they believed in, and to fight to survive, for their comrades, their honour and the lives of millions.

It’s Personal, Not Personnel Leadership Lessons for the Battlefield and the Boardroom


Free Download It’s Personal, Not Personnel: Leadership Lessons for the Battlefield and the Boardroom by Colonel Rob Campbell, General James T. Hill – foreword, Paul Heitsch
English | December 19, 2019 | ISBN: B082DM8ZBV | 6 hours | MP3 128 Kbps | 330 Mb
There has never been a more important time – in corporate America and in the American military – for leaders, at all levels, to understand how to invest in people. This book teaches you to do just that. Written by a 27-year army colonel, veteran, and leader of more than 5,000 troops in the 1st Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division, It’s Personal, Not Personnel offers true stories and practical frameworks you can apply to the people in your organization and on your team.
Whether from lack of will, experience or training, many leaders pay lip service to investing in people. Instead, they manage them on spreadsheets and in HR-focused software applications without personal consideration, failing to truly know them, care for them or establish healthy, fulfilling environments in which they can work and serve. Those appointed to guide and delegate often miss the opportunity to create a people-centric environment where productivity and efficiency will improve. It’s less about making mechanics, IT managers, or soldiers better at their trade, and it’s more about making people better people.
Explore the intricacies of personal connection in the workplace by following Rob Campbell through his own experiences leading large teams in high-stakes work, and then learn to apply those insights to your own work as a leader.

Battlefield Integration Wellington’s Use of Portuguese and Spanish Forces During the 1812 Salamanca Campaign


Free Download John B Yorko, "Battlefield Integration: Wellington’s Use of Portuguese and Spanish Forces During the 1812 Salamanca Campaign"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 1249918383 | EPUB | pages: 72 | 1.7 mb
This thesis examines how the Duke of Wellington used Portuguese and Spanish forces during his 1812 Salamanca campaign. Wellington assessed the strengths and weaknesses of his allies, and then leveraged them throughout the campaign within the constraints of dissimilar command relationships. He was able to supplement his British formations largely with Portuguese forces, as well as and prevent the numerically superior French from massing on his army through influence and interaction with Spanish forces. Scrutinizing how Wellington engaged in military actions with allies who had divergent political interests and varying degrees of military capability offers lessons in coalition warfare that are still applicable today.
