Richard Freiherr von Rosen was a highly decorated Wehrmacht soldier and outstanding panzer commander. After serving as a gunlayer on a Pz.Mk.III during Barbarossa, he led a company of Tigers at Kursk. Later he led a company of King Tiger panzers at Normandy and in late 1944 commanded a battle group (12 King Tigers and a flak company) against the Russians in Hungary in the rank of junior, later senior lieutenant (from November 1944, his final rank). Only 489 of these King Tiger tanks were ever built.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 2
Renowned World War Two historian James Holland presents an entirely new perspective on one of the most important moments in recent history. Unflinchingly examining the brutality and violence that characterised the campaign, it's time to draw some radically different conclusions. D-Day and the 76 days of bitter fighting in Normandy that followed have come to be seen as a defining episode in the Second World War. Its story has been endlessly retold, and yet it remains a narrative burdened by both myth and assumed knowledge.

Jerusalem and the Sinai desert, AD 55. In the turbulent aftermath of the crucifixion of Jesus, agents of the Roman Empire receive information about a pilgrim bearing an incendiary letter from a religious fanatic calling himself Paul the Apostle to insurrectionists in Corinth. What's in the letter could bring down an empire. The Romans hire a former legionary, a solitary man-at-arms named Telamon to intercept the letter and destroy the courier. But once he meets the courier, Telamon experiences an extraordinary conversion.

The Talmud says: “If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first.” This instinct to take every measure, even the most aggressive, to defend the Jewish people is hardwired into Israel’s DNA. From the very beginning of its statehood in 1948, protecting the nation from harm has been the responsibility of its intelligence community and armed services, and there is one weapon in their vast arsenal that they have relied upon to thwart the most serious threats: Targeted assassinations have been used countless times, on enemies large and small....

Millennium is a stunning panoramic account of the two centuries on either side of the apocalyptic year 1000. This was the age of Canute, William the Conqueror and Pope Gregory VII, of Vikings, monks and serfs, of the earliest castles and the invention of knighthood, and of the primal conflict between church and state. The story of how the distinctive culture of Europe - restless, creative and dynamic - was forged from out of the convulsions of these extraordinary times is as fascinating and as momentous as any in history.

As a senior non-commissioned officer of Delta Force, the most elite and secretive special operations unit in the US military, Command Sergeant Major Tom Satterly fought some of this country's most fearsome enemies. Tom is a legend even among other Tier One special operators. Yet the enemy that cost him three marriages, and ruined his health physically and psychologically, existed in his brain. Told through Satterly's firsthand experiences, it also weaves in the reasons for his career-long battle against the most insidious enemy of all: post-traumatic stress.

Description
The best-selling author of Gates of Fire and Killing Rommel delivers his first work of military nonfiction - an epic narrative of the Six Day War.
June 5, 1967: The fearsome, Soviet-equipped Egyptian Army and its 1,000 tanks are massed on Israel's southern border. Meanwhile, the Syrian Army is shelling the much smaller nation from the north. And to the east, Jordan and Iraq are moving brigades and fighter squadrons into position to attack. Egypt's President Nasser has declared that the Arab world's goal is no less than "the destruction of Israel."
June 10, 1967: The combined Arab armies are in ruins, their air forces totally destroyed. Israel's citizen-soldiers have seized the Gaza Strip and the entire Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the Golan Heights from Syria, East Jerusalem and the West Bank from Jordan. The land under Israeli control has tripled. The charismatic, eye-patch wearing Defense Minister Moshe Dayan has barreled through the Lion's Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem, meeting up with a gang of paratroopers who have already raised the blue and white flag that frames the Star of David.
How on earth did this happen?
Only Steven Pressfield could get the real story from the fighter jocks in the air, the tank commanders through the sand, and the infantrymen on the ground. Through more than 300 hours of interviews conducted in Israel, he has written a gripping chronicle of the six days that changed the Middle East forever. He also captures the universal experience of individual soldiers compelled to stare down mortal fear and move headlong into a firestorm.
The Lion's Gate blends the immediacy of Mark Bowden's Black Hawk Down, the esprit de corps of Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers, and the soul of James Bradley's Flags of Our Fathers. It will join the indispensable canon of military nonfiction.

As close to being there as you can get
I have always been fascinated with the 6 Day War and have watched or read just about anything I could find on the subject. This approach was incredibly unique. You feel that it is YOU who are being called up, it is YOU who are in the tank, it is YOU who is flying the jet, it is YOU who is entering the Old City. You are privy to what was going on in their minds as they were engaged in battle. You are hit with the daunting questions that the commanders were faced with, especially as they entered Jerusalem. Questions like what to do if a sniper starts firing from one of the Holy places? You can't just put a tank round into it. Hearing the emotions that the IDF men felt as they reached the Wall was something you just have to hear for yourself. History comes alive with this book. If you are even remotely interested in this topic then you will love this book. I wish there were more like it, perhaps this will begin a trend.

I'm truly becoming a fan of Steven Pressfield. The way he weaves the scenes of the battle with the emotions of the soldiers and scenario of purpose is amazing.
Another GREAT JOB!!

An interesting military narrative
Lots of interesting stories and experiences from a handful of Israeli units during the Six-Day War. Definitely not a history lesson, but you get the jest of what's going on anyway. There are many names, and much of them are in Hebrew, so it gets a little difficult to remember who's who.

Amazingly fascinating
A great production, another great Steven Pressfield book. I really Winnipeg’s the retelling of stories by actual vets, a true boots on the ground account of the Sixth Day War.

Amazing book. You feel like you are right there!
Awesome book. You feel like you are on the front lines. Captures the mental and physical aspects of the war from all sides. Very relevant for today's political environment in the Middle East.

Don't read history, feel it through the audiobook
Steven Pressfield is one of the greats. He writes we an immediacy of situations that transcends our mundane civilise life and yet with such simplicity and heart that you feel the grit, you breathe the realism. We are not special. This is work.
Finally, if you feel lost, bereft of vision or hope. Read Pressfield. Comprehend the creed of necessity and obey with action. Pressfield lays waste to all that is overly-precious, spoilt and ignoble. When you emerge from his work, your compass is aligned to true north. You are ready to shoulder burdens that would have broken your back a week ago. There is now, thanks to this warrior poet, fire in your veins and conviction in your stride. You see the world anew, you slay all pity from your being, you began and will henceforth to always, dare.

In the age of adhd, the proof that we can still focus
14 hours of listening, done in 3 days.
Great storytelling, great memoirs and great writing.
I needed this so much, a book that keeps you listening and everything else falling into second place
I bought other 2 books. Gates of fire and virtues of war.
