Tiger Tanks at War

release date: Feb 15, 2008
Tiger Tanks at War
The first prototype for the Tiger tank was set to be ready for Hitlers birthday on April 20, 1942. The Henschel Company, competing with Porsche, produced the superior model, and by August of that year the formidable Tiger--or Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. H.--was in full production. This book takes us behind the scenes with the Tiger tank, reviewing the full history, the design and mechanics, and the mixed record of this machine, which was designed to outgun its Russian counterparts. Military writer Michael Green offers a close-up account--accompanied by photographs, diagrams, and maps--of how the Tiger tank operated, how it was armed, and where it succeeded brilliantly, as well as where it failed miserably. His book fills a fascinating niche in the history of military technology, and of the impact of technology on history itself.

United States Infantry Weapons of the Second World War

release date: Nov 30, 2015
United States Infantry Weapons of the Second World War
“The book looks at everything from pistols to flame throwers and from rifles to anti-tank guns . . . the package offers a lot of bang for your buck.” —War History Online During the arduous campaigns in theatres of war from the Pacific to North West Europe, American infantry weapons played a key role in the eventual victory over the Axis forces. In so doing they earned a special reputation for ruggedness and reliability. In addition to being used by US ground forces they were widely adopted by other Allied nations. Expert author Michael Green puts the full range of small arms, be they rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, pistols, machine guns as well as mortars, anti-tank weapons and close infantry support artillery under the microscope. Many names such as the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) and the incomparable semi-automatic Garand will be well known whereas others (the Johnson Rifle and Reising SMG) are not. The typically informative text completes the wide range of photographic images. “Standard US infantry weapons are depicted in the hands of the troops who used them operationally. This book is especially valuable to a wide readership—military historians, collectors, re-enactors, museum curators and authors. It would also provide inspiration for military modellers searching for realistic depictions of various figures.” —Classic Arms and Militaria

But Don't All Religions Lead to God?

release date: Oct 01, 2002
But Don't All Religions Lead to God?
We''ve all heard the rationale: "It doesn''t matter what you believe as long as you''re sincere." Or "All religions are pretty much the same." But are they the same? Does it matter which one you follow? In this insightful and compelling book, Michael Green invites readers into a relationship with Jesus Christ, the divine revelation and only pathway to the one true God. In a conversational style geared toward nonbelievers, Green compares Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, and other religions to help spiritual seekers navigate the multi-faith maze. "But Don''t All Religions Lead to God?" is an ideal reference and evangelism tool for churches and individual Christians as well. It offers scriptural references, looks at how divergent religious traditions view salvation and eternity, and answers difficult questions such as "What about people who have never heard of Jesus?" and "How should Christians regard other religions?" In the midst of our pluralistic and tolerant culture, here is an important and convincing argument for faith in Jesus-the only great teacher whose death and resurrection provided grace, forgiveness, and an eternity in the presence of God.

Unlocking The Allowable-Thought Cage Imprisoning Our Imaginations

release date: May 02, 2016
Unlocking The Allowable-Thought Cage Imprisoning Our Imaginations
More and more people are becoming aware that we are, among other things, grappling with a media-projected or company-manufactured public reality. There is a controlled and choreographed, talked about, reported on, broadcast, make-believe reality?a pretended set of norms that diverge radically from the living realities they cover over. This publicly approved and sanctioned ?truth? is in major degree a pretense, a game, a show, a dance of distractions perpetrated on the public through many forms of propaganda, puppets and deceptions. In effect, we?re taught to lock ourselves into a fixed set of allowable thoughts, a cage for our view of the real and of the possible, so we know how to think about things. We adopt the publicly sanctioned wisdom about what issues are important, how to frame the relevant priorities, how to be successful, how to fit in and be accepted, how to be ?good?, and so forth. These teachings shape and control our perceptions of reality and largely govern how we live our lives. More important than where this strange dance-in-a-cage began, is where does it stop? Can it stop? Yes, this book explains, but not easily. Not without effort. Not without some degree of strength and courage and probably not without understanding the methods and mechanisms this book presents in depth using plain and simple language.Unlocking your ?allowable-thought cage? requires becoming aware that certain controlling and limiting ?truths? exist, and that you can become increasingly aware of them once you know what to look for, how to sort through competing contradictions and how to connect the relevant dots. This unique book shows how you can reassess your thought-cage and improve it so it better conforms to your own observations and experiences. It provides a general orientation that will very likely help you clarify the way you look at even very familiar topics and situations, and generally help you gradually free your mind so you can unlock your allowable-thought cage...

American Wheeled Armoured Fighting Vehicles

release date: Oct 31, 2016
American Wheeled Armoured Fighting Vehicles
“A solid quick reference on the evolution of American wheeled AFVs, and provides excellent visual information for the enthusiast [and] researcher.” —War Wheels Numerous wheeled armoured fighting vehicles have seen service in the US armed forces on and off for over eighty years. There have been various changes of policy and twice, after the Second World War and Vietnam, they went out of favour but their use is now well established. This well researched and superbly illustrated book describes all the different types and variants since the first M1 was ordered in 1931. The M8 armoured car was widely used during World War Two but it was not until Vietnam that further wheeled AFVs came into service, notably the M706 armoured car. After a lull the US Marine Corps adopted the Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) in 1983. The US Army first used armoured Humvees in 1994 and variants remain in service (M1141 and M1116). Other types today include the Guardian (M1117) and the Army version of the LAV names the Stryker. To meet the operational requirements of Iraq and Afghanistan the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle (MRAP) was ordered in bulk from 2007. A must have for the military history buff, this volume contains rare photographs from wartime archives. “Modellers will appreciate the clarity of the images for details like armour and stowage.” —FineScale Modeler

I Believe in the Holy Spirit

release date: Sep 28, 2023
I Believe in the Holy Spirit
How do we understand the Holy Spirit? Though countless Christians through the ages have confessed “I believe in the Holy Spirit,” the Spirit has often remained an elusive figure, relegated to the fringes of many Christians’ faith. Yet the charismatic movement made the Holy Spirit the focus of heated controversy. In this second edition of his widely popular book, Michael Green explains the biblically rooted doctrine of the Holy Spirit. He also discusses baptism and the gifts of the Spirit and addresses the dynamic, ongoing work of the Spirit today. Enriched by Green’s extensive pastoral and personal experience, I Believe in the Holy Spirit remains one of the most readable and balanced books on the third person of the Trinity.

Russian Symbolist Theater

release date: May 28, 2013
Russian Symbolist Theater
Although by writers better known for their verse and narrative prose, the plays of the Symbolists were not intended, like the dramatic poems of the Romantics, for the study rather than the stage. Instead, they are highly theatrical creations in a new style that demanded a new style of production. Meyerhold played a decisive role in the new Symbolist theatre and it was his production of Blok’s The Puppet Show in Komissarzhevskaya’s Theatre that launched the new direction in Russian drama. Among the works collected here are the plays The Puppet Show and The Rose and the Cross (Blok), The Triumph of Death (Sologub), The Comedy of Alexis and The Venetian Madcaps (Kuzmin), Thamyris Kitharodos (Annensky), and The Tragedy of Judas (Remizov) and essays by Briusov, Blok, Ivanov, Bely, Sologub, and Andreyev. Rounding out this essential anthology are Michael Green’s general introduction, as well as insightful prefaces for each writer, placing the plays and essays into their cultural and historical contexts.

This book tells the story of those who lived and fought through this historic conflict.

The United States Marine Corps in the Korean War
This pictorial history covers the US Marine Corps’ outstanding contribution, organization, tactics, fighting doctrine and weaponry during the Korean War. On June 25, 1950, the North Korean Army invaded South Korea. Among the US forces sent to South Korea was the 1st Marine Division. In September 1950, the Division audaciously landed deep behind enemy lines at Inchon port, throwing the North Korea Army into disarray. In November 1950, the Chinese Army invaded North Korea with eight divisions tasked with the destruction of the 1st Marine Division at the Chosin Reservoir. The Marines made a 78-mile fighting withdrawal in arctic conditions before being evacuated by the US Navy. In February 1951, the 1st Marine Division returned to combat assisting Eighth (US) Army to repulse five Chinese Army offensives over four months. By November 1951, the large-scale operations by the opposing sides had ended, replaced by a stalemate which lasted until the 27 July, 1953 armistice. With rare wartime images, this volume vividly chronicles the bitter three-year conflict.
