William Genieys, "Sociologie politique des élites"
2011 | ISBN: 220026853X | Français | EPUB | 368 pages | 1.2 MB

Le terme « élite » initialement valorisant a été progressivement dévalué par les soubresauts de l’histoire et les héritages idéologiques. Mais loin de désigner une simple opposition de « classes », une sociologie des élites peut permettre, en se dégageant de la prégnance des faits politico-économiques et du poids de l’histoire, de comprendre les changements politiques et la structuration institutionnelle des pouvoirs. …

US Destroyers 1934–45: Pre-war classes (New Vanguard, Book 162) by Dave McComb
English | December 20th, 2011 | ISBN: 1846034434 | 48 pages | EPUB | 6.09 MB

Since the beginning of the 20th century, destroyers have been all-purpose ships, indispensable in roles large and small — from delivering the mail at sea to screening other vessels and, where larger ships were not present, forming the front line in battle. This title details the 169 ships of ten classes introduced in the 1930s: early 1,500-tonners and 1,850-ton destroyer leaders designed to conform to the 1930 London Naval Treaty, plus the successor 1,570-ton Sims class and 1,620- and 1,630-ton Benson and Gleaves classes.

US Fast Battleships 1936-47: The North Carolina and South Dakota classes (New Vanguard, Book 169)

US Fast Battleships 1936-47: The North Carolina and South Dakota classes (New Vanguard, Book 169) by Lawrence Burr
English | December 20th, 2011 | ISBN: 1846035104 | 48 pages | EPUB | 15.15 MB

This volume details the design, construction, and operation of the first six of the ten US fast battleships, two of the North Carolina class and four of the South Dakota class. These six battleships were all authorized in 1936 and were the first vessels built in the US since 1923. Consequently, these ships benefitted from enormous technological leaps, with improvements in ship design, power, armor, armament and the single most important improvement the use of radar guided fire control helping to change the course of the war in the Pacific. Packed with first-hand accounts, battle reports, and specially created artwork this book tells the story of these war-winning vessels.
