Military Development

Codul eroului este omagiul vibrant pe care amiralul McRaven îl aduce eroilor reali, de zi cu zi, pe care i-a întâlnit de-a lungul anilor, de pe câmpul de luptă până la spitale și campusuri universitare, care contribuie la salvarea lumii. În copilăria sa petrecută în Texas, Bill McRaven visa să fie supererou. Își dorea să-și pună pe spate o pelerină și să-și folosească superputerile pentru a salva Pământul de distrugere. Dar acel băiețel a crescut și a început să călătorească prin lume, întâlnind eroi peste tot – și niciunul dintre ei nu avea superputeri. Niciunul nu purta pelerină sau glugă.

The Evolution of Tanks in World War II looks at the most important tanks from 1942 to 1945, and how doctrines changed in the wake of Germany’s conquest of Western Europe.
