Shifting the focus of analysis from the conqueror to the vanquished, the (re-)examination of written sources and the archaeological record sheds new light on the consequences and reactions after often traumatic defeats and allows to gain a more nuanced and complete picture of such events.

Rome Seizes the Trident The Defeat of Carthaginian Seapower and the Forging of the Roman Empire


Free Download Marc G de Santis, "Rome Seizes the Trident: The Defeat of Carthaginian Seapower and the Forging of the Roman Empire"
English | ISBN: 1473826985 | 2016 | 272 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Seapower played a greater part in ancient empire building than is often appreciated. The Punic Wars, especially the first, were characterized by massive naval battles. The Romans did not even possess a navy of their own when war broke out between them and the Carthaginians in Sicily in 264 B.C. Prior to that, the Romans had relied upon several South Italian Greek cities to provide ships in the same way as its other allies provided soldiers to serve with the legions. The Romans were nevertheless determined to acquire a navy that could challenge that of Carthage. They used a captured galley as a model, reverse engineered it, and constructed hundreds of copies. The Romans used this new navy to wrench maritime superiority from the Carthaginians, most notably at the Battle of Ecnomus where they prevailed through the use of novel tactics. Although not decisive on its own, Rome’s new found naval power was, as Marc De Santis shows, a vital component in their ultimate victory in each of the three Punic Wars.

1809 Thunder on the Danube – Napoleon’s Defeat of the Habsburgs, Vol. 2 The Fall of Vienna and the Battle of Aspern


Free Download 1809: Thunder on the Danube – Napoleon’s Defeat of the Habsburgs, Vol. 2: The Fall of Vienna and the Battle of Aspern By John H. Gill
2009 | 512 Pages | ISBN: 184832510X | EPUB | 10 MB
In the second volume of this epic work, John H. Gill traces Napoleon’s progress as he sought to complete his victory over the Habsburgs. The war had erupted on April 10th with Austria’s invasion of Germany and Italy. After just two weeks, Napoleon had battered the Habsburg Archduke Charles in a series of bruising defeats. This volume begins with a Napoleon astride the Danube at Regensburg. He faced a critical strategic choice – whether to pursue the injured Austrian main army into Bohemia or march directly for Vienna, the seat of Habsburg power.After electing to target Vienna, his troops defeated the Austrians in the brutal Battle of Ebelsberg, allowing him to enter the city on May 13th. But meanwhile, on the far side of the Danube, he suffered a dramatic loss at the grueling, two-day Battle of Aspern. While his Danube forces recovered from this setback, the Emperor cleared trouble from his strategic flanks.Gill describes in vivid detail the hopeful Habsburg invasion of Italy, led by the 27-year-old Archduke Johann, and the fierce French counter-offensive under Napoleon’s stepson, Eugene de Beauharnais (also aged 27). In a series of encounters across Italy, de Beauharnais rebounded from initial defeat to advance triumphantly into Austrian territory, shattering and scattering Johann’s army. In the wake of Aspern, while the Austrians vacillated, Napoleon gathered every man, horse and gun around Vienna, setting the stage for the gigantic spectacle of the Battle of Wagram, the final chapter in the story of the 1809 war.

Smashing Hitler’s Panzers The Defeat of the Hitler Youth Panzer Division in the Battle of the Bulge [Audiobook]


Free Download Steven Zaloga, Paul Brion (Narrator), "Smashing Hitler’s Panzers: The Defeat of the Hitler Youth Panzer Division in the Battle of the Bulge"
English | ASIN: B07JMFGSSY | 2018 | MP3@64 kbps | ~09:21:00 | 266 MB
In his riveting new book, Steven Zaloga describes how American foot soldiers faced down Hitler’s elite armored spearhead – the Hitler Youth Panzer Division – in the snowy Ardennes forest during one of World War II’s biggest battles, the Battle of the Bulge.
The Hitler Youth division was assigned the mission of the Führer’s Ardennes offensive: Capture the main highway to the primary objective, Antwerp, whose seizure Hitler believed would end the war. Had the Germans taken the Belgian port, it would have cut off the Americans from the British and perhaps led to a second, more devastating Dunkirk. In Zaloga’s careful reconstruction, a succession of American infantry units – the 99th Division, the 2nd Division, and the 1st Division (the famous Big Red One) – fought a series of battles that denied Hitler the best roads to Antwerp and doomed his offensive. American G.I.s – some of them seeing combat for the very first time – had stymied Hitler’s panzers and grand plans.
