Københavns Befæstning fortæller historien om et af Danmarkshistoriens største og mest omstridte forsvarsværker.Københavns Befæstning, der blev opført fra 1885-1894, var ikke mindst et svar på de nye sikkerhedspolitiske udfordringer, der meldte sig efter det traumatiske nederlag i 1864. Da 1. Verdenskrig brød ud i 1914, blev Københavns Befæstning gjort klar til kamp og bemandet med næsten 50.000 soldater.Krigen kom aldrig til Danmark. Til gengæld viste den, at tiden og den teknologiske udvikling var løbet fra befæstningen, og i 1920 blev Københavns Befæstning nedlagt som forældet. I denne første samlede fremstilling af Københavns Befæstnings militære historie fortælles om Danmarks sikkerhedspolitiske problemer i spillet mellem stormagterne og den rivende militærteknologiske udvikling i årene op til 1. Verdenskrig; om de forsvarspolitiske overvejelser bag anlægget, om den planlagte anvendelse af Københavns Befæstning i kamp og om de centrale aktører i en dramatisk periode af Danmarkshistorien.Københavns Befæstning er skrevet af en gruppe historikere tilknyttet Statens Forsvarshistoriske Museum med seniorforsker Jens Ole Christensen, seniorforsker Michael H. Clemmesen og museumsdirektør Ole L. Frantzen i spidsen.

Danmark står foran tidens nok største indkøb af kampfly. Skal vi tage del i det teknologisk tophemmelige fly F-35 Lightning II, som amerikanerne har holdt for sig selv indtil nu, eller bør vi kigge nærmere på dets konkurrenter? Intentionen med denne bog er at præsentere kampflyet F-35 Lightning II, beskrive den historiske udvikling, som førte til dette fly, samt hvad flyet rummer af teknologiske fremskridt. Bogen afslører tidligere hemmeligheder og den opgraderede teknologi, som findes i kampflyet, der inden længe afløser flere ældre kampfly i mange lande. Stealth-teknologien og hvordan stealth vil revolutionere brugen af kampfly er et centralt tema i bogen. Endvidere beskrives de avancerede sensorer og våbensystemer, som skiller sig ud ved dette fly. I den vestlige verden er der syv flytyper, der konkurrerer om at erstatte de ældre kampfly. Ni lande har allerede planlagt at erstatte syv ældre kampfly med F-35 Lightning II. Disse 14 fly – de gamle og de konkurrerende fly - får hver sin omtale og sammenlignes på en overskuelig måde. For at kunne følge med i den videre debat er det nødvendigt at forstå de nye teknologier, der danner basis for de beslutninger, Danmark ender op med at tage, teknologier, som på mange måder vil ændre traditionel opfattelse af brug af kampfly.

"Every generation, a journalist has looked deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment: the technologies, the safeguards, the plans, and the risks. These projects are vital to how we understand the world we really live in: where one nuclear missile begets one in return; where the choreography of the world's end requires massive decisions made on seconds-notice, with information that is only as good as the intelligence we have. Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War: A Scenario explores this ticking clock scenario, based on dozens of new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons; created the response plans; and been responsible for those decisions should they need to have been made. Nuclear War: A Scenario is unlike any other book in its depth and urgency"--

A comprehensive, illustrated account of the new generation of advanced tanks to emerge during the last 15 years of the Cold War, showcasing major improvements in armor protection, gunsights, and fire-control systems.Focusing on the technology of the period, author Steven J. Zaloga explains how the demands of a potential Cold War battlefield spurred the development of the 20th century's most advanced tanks. He considers the final versions of the Soviet T-72, T-64, and T-80 and assesses their strengths and weaknesses. He also explores how the failure of the US-German MBT-70 project led to America's development of the M1 Abrams tank, and to Germany's all-new Leopard II. The British development of the Challenger tank is also considered, as is the lesser-known Leclerc tank developed by France, the smallest and lightest of any of the western designs. Featuring superbly detailed new illustrations and many photos, this volume pinpoints the key technology of the era, including turbine engines, APFSDS ammunition, advanced armor and high-tech fire-control systems, and describes how the rival tanks compared in the final stretch of the Cold War arms race.

Kastellet Frederikshavns fængselshistorie gennem 250 årDenne bog er en moderniseret, opdateret version af Victor Krohns ”Kastellets Fængselshistorie” der oprindeligt udkom i blot 100 spritduplikerede eksemplarer i 1926. Bogen har lige siden været hovedværket for denne både spændende og tragiske del af Kastellets 350-årige historie, men grundet sin sjældenhed har den været svær at opdrive. Derfor har ”Kastellets Venner & Historisk Samling” valgt at fejre Kastellets 350 års jubilæum ved at genudsende bogen, men i Krohns ånd i en stærkt udvidet, opdateret og moderniseret udgave. Victor Krohn stræbte selv efter at bestandigt forbedre sine publikationer – vi tror, han ville have kunnet lide denne nye version.

"Each year, approximately forty thousand Americans are killed by gunshot wounds, which is roughly equivalent to the annual rate of traffic deaths on American roads and highways. Of those forty thousand gun fatalities, more than half of them are suicides, which in turn account for half of all suicides per year. Add in the murders caused by guns, the accidental deaths caused by guns, the law enforcement killings caused by guns, and the average comes out to more than one hundred Americans killed by bullets every day. On that same average day, another two hundred-plus are wounded by guns, which translates into eighty thousand a year. Eighty thousand wounded and forty thousand dead, or one hundred and twenty thousand ambulance calls and emergency room cases for every twelve-month tick of the clock, but the toll of gun violence goes far beyond the pierced and bloodied bodies of the victims themselves, spilling out into the devastations visited upon their immediate families, their extended families, their friends, their fellow workers, the people of their neighborhoods, their schools, their churches, their softball teams, and communities at large-the vast brigade of lives touched by the presence of a single person who lives or has lived among them-meaning that the number of Americans directly or indirectly marked by gun violence every year must be tallied in the millions"--
