Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
For the first time, Phillip Thomas Tucker, Ph.D., has presented the inspirational story of the remarkable Victoria ""Toya"" Montou in book form for today's readers. This groundbreaking book, Volume III of the Haitian Revolutionary Women Series, is as timely as it is important. Toya was a brave revolutionary freedom fighter in the bloody war to destroy slavery and create a new nation conceived in the day's most enlightened concept-universal liberty for all. Even more, Toya was also the revolutionary Mother of the Republic of Haiti, because of her inspirational contributions to decisive victory. Significantly, she was the surrogate mother of the hard-fighting Haitian leader who won independence for his people, which was declared on January 1, 1804. Today, the heroic legacy of ""Gran Toya"" has continued to live on in the hearts and minds of the Haitian people, who still revere her name, courage, and inspirational legacy.

The Paths of Heaven The Evolution of Airpower Theory
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Airpower is not widely understood. Even though it has come to play an increasingly important role in both peace and war, the basic concepts that define and govern airpower remain obscure to many people, even to professional military officers. This fact is largely due to fundamental differences of opinion as to whether or not the aircraft has altered the strategies of war or merely its tactics. If the former, then one can see airpower as a revolutionary leap along the continuum of war; but if the latter, then airpower is simply another weapon that joins the arsenal along with the rifle, machine gun, tank, submarine, and radio. This book implicitly assumes that airpower has brought about a revolution in war. It has altered virtually all aspects of war: how it is fought, by whom, against whom, and with what weapons. Flowing from those factors have been changes in training, organization, administration, command and control, and doctrine. War has been fundamentally transformed by the advent of the airplane.
