The Regime Change Consensus: Iraq in American Politics, 1990-2003 (Military, War, and Society in Modern American History) by Joseph Stieb
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1.7 MB
Overview: Why did the United States invade Iraq, setting off a chain of events that profoundly changed the Middle East and the US global position? The Regime Change Consensus offers a compelling look at how the United States pivoted from a policy of containment to regime change in Iraq after September 11, 2001. Starting with the Persian Gulf War, the book traces how a coalition of political actors argued with increasing success that the totalitarian nature of Saddam Hussein’s regime and the untrustworthy behavior of the international coalition behind sanctions meant that containment was a doomed policy. By the end of the 1990s, a consensus belief emerged that only regime change and democratization could fully address the Iraqi threat. Through careful examination, Joseph Stieb expands our understanding of the origins of the Iraq War while also explaining why so many politicians and policymakers rejected containment after 9/11 and embraced regime change.

Fire in the Sky: The Australian Flying Corps in the First World War by Michael Molkentin
Requirements: .PDF reader, 40.2 MB
Overview: The first book in 90 years dedicated to the daring and courage of the airmen and mechanics of the Australian Flying Corps – a tale of a war fought thousands of feet above the trenches from which only one in two emerged unscathed.

‘I half rolled, and there before my eyes was as perfect a target as I had ever seen in my life. A pressure of a thumb, a short burst, a puff of smoke, a flash of flame, a hole on the clouds-and it was over.’

Lieutenant Robert McKenzie, No. 2 Squadron Australian Flying Corps.

When the First World War began in August 1914, aeroplanes were a novelty, barely a decade old. Despite this, Australia was one of just a few nations outside Europe to establish a military flying school and corps. From a first class of four student pilots the Australian Flying Corps would grow to number almost 4000 by the armistice. Its young volunteers were pioneers in a completely new dimension of warfare as they struggled for control of the skies over the Western Front and Middle East.

Overview: For more than a decade this annual volume has provided an authoritative summary of all that has happened to the world’s navies and their ships in the previous twelve months.

Download Mussolini’s War by John Gooch (.ePUB)

Mussolini’s War: Fascist Italy from Triumph to Collapse, 1935-1943 by John Gooch
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5.5mb
Overview: While staying closely aligned with Hitler, Mussolini remained carefully neutral until the summer of 1940. Then, with the wholly unexpected and sudden collapse of the French and British armies, Mussolini declared war on the Allies in the hope of making territorial gains in southern France and Africa. This decision proved a horrifying miscalculation, dooming Italy to its own prolonged and unwinnable war, immense casualties and an Allied invasion in 1943 which ushered in a terrible new era for the country.

John Gooch’s new book is the definitive account of Italy’s war experience. Beginning with the invasion of Abyssinia and ending with Mussolini’s arrest, Gooch brilliantly portrays the nightmare of a country with too small an industrial sector, too incompetent a leadership and too many fronts on which to fight.

Everywhere – whether in the USSR, the Western Desert or the Balkans – Italian troops found themselves against either better-equipped or more motivated enemies. The result was a war entirely at odds with the dreams of pre-war Italian planners – a series of desperate improvizations against Allies who could draw on global resources and against whom Italy proved helpless.

This remarkable book rightly shows the centrality of Italy to the war, outlining the brief rise and disastrous fall of the Italian military campaign.
