Book Description
The M18 76mm Gun Motor Carriage was developed for the US Army's Tank Destroyer Command. It was the only tank destroyer deployed during World War II actually based on their requirements for speed and firepower. This book examines the development of this vehicle, the controversies over the need for high-speed tank destroyers, and its actual performance during World War II. Special emphasis is placed on examining its performance in its intended mission. Coverage also includes derivative vehicles of the M18 such as the M39 armored utility vehicle.

Competent, but disappointingly lacking in substance.......2006-03-20
This book was quite disapointing to me. The author did the usual competent job one finds in all the Osprey military books of giving us all the basic technical information on the type. Weight, horsepower, dimensions, top speed. All the manufacturing information including various dead-end predecessors and subtypes. Even a nice chart comparing the penetration of the gun with other rivals (17 pounder, German 75mm's etc.)
Thing is, all that basic data can be easily found in the internet from any number of sources. Even the ballistics info exists in every halfway decent wargame or WW II tactical computer Sim out there, and have been around since before the days of Squad Leader. Personally, I was looking for something a bit more in depth, and of this there was only the barest taste.
Anyone who has ever really plunged into the gritty technical details of the U.S. ground forces experience in World War II is well aware of this conundrum: looking at the data dispassionately, certainly on paper, virtually all of the U.S. tactical equipment, especially armored vehicles, seem to be MARKEDLY inferior to their German counterparts.
This is especially true later in the war as the US introduced new types at a snails pace while the Germans fielded one terrifying new ubertank after another. A Sherman wasn't just worse than a Panther, or a Jadgpanther, or a Tiger, even an 8.8 centimeter AA gun, it was COMPLETELY outmatched. Unless terrain was really to their advantage (allowing close-in fighting and lots of opportunities for point blank flanking shots) the Sherman, (and the various even more hopeless British types like the Crusader or the Cromwell say), were simply incapable of coping with German Heavy tanks or AT guns. Thats why events like operation Goodwood happened over and over again, where 30 and 40 Shermans got knocked out in a matter of minutes for no gain. And you simply can't attribute every single Allied victory to superior numbers or Air Support or even Artillery. There has to be something more to it.
One of the apparent secrets to allied successes appear to have been these relatively unknown U.S. Tank Destroyers, which seem in spite of a very flawed basic design policy and tactical doctrine (leading among other things to the lack of a bow or coaxial machine gun and extremely vulnerable open topped turrets... for essentially arbitrary reasons) seemed on several occasions to reverse the usual trend and knock out very large numbers of German tanks, including Heavy tanks, for relatively few losses.
The M-18 is one of the greatest among these mysteries. VERY lightly armored, with essentially the same gun as the other older M-10 TD and the later model Shermans, cursed with the infamous open topped turret, it's single remarkable attribute seemed to be it's extremely high speed and excellent automotive performance. And yet they were apparently loved by many of their crews (unlike Shermans!) and if U.S. statistics can be believed they seem to have done extremely well against German Armor, actually having one of the lowest loss rates of all US Armored vehicles. (Though I think these stats have yet to be cross-checked with German records even now...)
As a history nut and avid wargamer, what I was hoping to find in this book was some clue as to why it worked out this way, and precicely how this was done... exactly what tactics did they use, more specific than vaguely describing them as "hit and run...?" what kind of terrain did they prefer to fight in, we know their road speed approached 50 mph but how good was their cross country performance? Did it have any special gun sights? How fast was the turret traverse, what was the rate of fire of the gun, and how accurate was the gun? How did these factors compare to other vehicles of the day? How many shots did they normally fire before retiring, did they coordinate attacks from many directions simultaneously or rely on surprise to get their flank shots?
I found no ansewers to any of these kind of questions here, just a few more tantalizing statistics about more apparent Hellcat victories agains the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge and some other engagements. Instead, the Author seems to contradict his own data by insisting that the M-18 was a bad design and any successes were attributable to the great training and skill of their troops. Which is a nice patriotic thing to say and my hats off to all those guys, but it doesn't explain why Shermans seemed to suffer 5 losses for every one kill while according to his own book M-18's did perhaps 1 loss for 3 kills. Were M-18 crews better trained? If so, why?
The M-18 was a very contraversial design and the Generals in the increasingly discredited TD corps were basically drummed out of service for having so many bad ideas. But maybe they were on to something after all? It's a major mystery of WW II which has not been cleared up here, thats for certain. Personally if this book is ever re-issued or replaced, I could do without some of the stuff about M-18 use in the Pacific, or the never used one-offs, and a bit more about how it contributed to winning the war against the Germans in Europe.

Fascinating and complete description of the M18 Hellcat.......2004-12-05
The M18 Hellcat was a very important tank destroyer used by the U.S. in WWII. Even though it was armed with the 76mm gun used by later M4 Sherman tanks, the Hellcat had a new suspension system, high maneuverability, and high road speed, which enabled it to outmaneuver German Panthers and Tigers where it could fire well-placed flanking shots at its targets. Steven Zaloga does a marvelous job of describing the development and combat performance of the Hellcat. He includes helpful information such as the production numbers and the armor penetration of the 76mm M1A1 gun (compared to the British 17 pounder and the German 75mm gun). What fascinated me the most was Zaloga's detailed description of the combat performance of the M18, especially against German Panthers & Tigers at the battle of Arracourt in mid-September 1944 and the Battle of the Bulge. Zaloga points out the strengths (its reliability and high maneuverability) and deficiencies of the M18 in combat (e.g. its thin armor, the lack of roof armor, and the lack of co-axial machine gun). He also writes about the performance of the M18 in the Japanese theater of operations and post-WWII service. The colored illustrations and plates by Jim Laurier are excellent as usual. If you want a brief but complete treatment of the M18 Hellcat, this is an excellent book to buy. Steven Zaloga is one of my favorite authors on tanks and AFVs.

Book Description
Drawing on archival materials previously unavailable to Western scholars, Husband here presents the first detailed local perspective on political, economic, and social relations during the critical years of the Soviet state. Taking into account local loyalties, family and gender
identifications, and impulses toward self-preservation--in addition to class frictions--this study of the textile industry shows how unskilled workers shaped their expectations and perceptions of the revolutionary process on their experiences in society and in the workplace, not on ideology or
effective political mobilization. Scholars and students of the Soviet Union will find in this lucid analysis a wealth of material that provides a compelling new answer to the much-debated question: To what degree and for what reasons did industrial workers support the Russian Revolution?
Book Description
An industrial revolution is the process of economic change by which a country is shifted on to a path of sustained growth in productivity and living standards. It represents the origins of modern industry in today’s developed countries and it is what today’s developing countries are now trying to promote or to bring to a successful conclusion. The book identifies the strategic changes in economic organisation, industrial structure and technological progress associated with the industrial revolution which took place in Britain over the century 1750–1850 and which marked a watershed in world economic development - the beginnings of modern economic growth for today’s developed countries and an example of spontaneous industrialisation for today’s third world countries. The book assesses both starting point and achievement, analyses the substance of economic transformation and evaluates the role of government policy and institutional change in retarding or accelerating economic development. The second edition updates and expands the first by taking into account (and giving bibliographical references for) major new knowledge and ideas appearing within the past 15 years on the industrial revolution. This work has proved a successful textbook for sixth form students as well as undergraduate students in faculties of economics, history, geography or social science generally. It is, however, sufficiently nontechnical to be intelligible to a general reader interested in putting problems of economic development into historical perspective.

Good book; discusses the positive aspects of the revolution........1997-01-12
This book is one of a number of books on the Industrial Revolution by Phyllis Deane. She focuses more on the positive aspects of the revolution, and has many good primary source quotes from famous people who lived during that time. If you don't want to pick it up here, definitely check it out at your local library.

Book Description
An exploration of the social and environmental consequences of oil extraction in the tropical rainforest. Using northern Veracruz as a case study, the author argues that oil production generated major historical and environmental transformations in land tenure systems and uses, and social organization. Such changes, furthermore, entailed effects, including the marginalization of indigenes, environmental destruction, and tense labor relations. In the context of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), however, the results of oil development did not go unchallenged. Mexican oil workers responded to their experience by forging a politicized culture and a radical left militancy that turned â€~oil country’ into one of the most significant sites of class conflict in revolutionary Mexico. Ultimately, the book argues, Mexican oil workers deserve their share of credit for the 1938 decree nationalizing the foreign oil industry - heretofore reserved for President Lazaro Cardenas - and thus changing the course of Mexican history.

Book Description
The world of work and organization has become increasingly demanding and turbulent as firms respond to forces of globalization, the introduction of new technology, requirements to increase revenues while decreasing costs, and the needs of a more diverse workforce, while building organizational capability. Most organizations can acquire or copy technology, manufacturing processes, products and business strategies. However human resource management practices and organizational culture are difficult to copy and represent a truly unique competitive advantage.. Managers are coming to believe that the most important organizational resource is human.
This collection presents research evidence and company examples developed over the past decade showing how to create organizations that add value to investors, customers and employees. It first illustrates why and how human resource management practices become a competitive advantage. These practices are also reviewed in an international context, an increasingly important reality as business become more global.
Special attention is devoted to building organizational capability while simultaneously fostering employee well-being, learning and development. In addition, support for the link between human resource management practices and organizational performance is summarized using examples of effective human resource management practices. This collection lays out specific ways in which people can be mobilized to satisfy both organizational and individual needs.

Book Description
Today more than three quarters of a billion people go hungry in a world where food is plentiful. A distinguished scientist here sets out an agenda for addressing this situation. Initially published in 1997 in the United Kingdom, the book is now available in the first edition produced for the Western hemisphere. In it, the author has updated information to reflect current economic indicators. This volume includes a foreword written for the previous edition by Ismail Serageldin of the World Bank. The original Green Revolution produced new technologies for farmers, creating food abundance. A second transformation of agriculture is now required--specifically, Gordon Conway argues, a "doubly green" revolution that stresses conservation as well as productivity. He calls for researchers and farmers to forge genuine partnerships in an effort to design better plants and animals. He also urges them to develop (or rediscover) alternatives to inorganic fertilizers and pesticides, improve soil and water management, and enhance earning opportunities for the poor, especially women.

Incomplete analysis of an important problem.......2003-05-13
Gordon Conway presents to us a problem: an unacceptably large number in absolute terms suffers from staggering levels of poverty, malnutrition, and hunger. He acknowledges that there is enough food in the world to meet aggregate demand, and he indicates that he is not Malthusian or even Neo-Malthusian. The main problem, and theme of his book, is that certain high-population, low-income areas lack the purchasing power and access to technology and capital necessary to support a "doubly green revolution" to bring the successes of agricultural technology to all peoples. His normative analysis is that the costs of this are acceptable given humanitarian concerns and practicality for industrialized countries that would benefit from trade liberalization and some level or agricultural/economic convergence. He also believes that market forces alone are insufficient to fixing the problems he has outlined, and encourages nation-states and inter-government organizations to pursue policies that include stabilization of legal rights, subsidies for research in technologies to provide food and capital for the poor (especially women and ethnic minorities), and even redistribution of property.
I consider it a possibility that not enough time has gone by since the Green Revolution started showing diminishing returns to make judgments on the immense inequality of distribution. I would like to point out that most of the world lived in poverty for thousands of years, and only within the past century have we been able to make any significant progress at this level and perhaps the inequalities may smooth out over time if trade is liberalized.
Ultimately, Conway presents a well-researched book and some interesting ideas and alternatives to reach these ideas. I think that he could have explored market solutions more deeply and that this significantly weakens his book. His devotion to the poor and willingness to use governments to interefere significantly with trade and agriculture is disheartening. However, the topic is very interesting and the ultimate goal of increasing food production to meet aggregate demand and basic human needs is noble and important to all of us and generations to come.
Shows what can be done, how to do it, and why........2002-03-24
Participation in agricultural production, it has been repeatedly demonstrated, is the only clear guarantee of participation in food consumption.
The author's central theme is that it is possible to raise yields three-fold on most smallholder farms worldwide by practicing sustainable agriculture. As an architect of the original Green Revolution he can acknowledge its failings (and its successes) better than most. The book's title refers to a need to move beyond the original Green Revolution to a new and more environmentally friendly agenda.
The basic goals outlined in the book are:
-Increase crop yields of small-scale farmers threefold per farm.
-Do so at very low cost by making maximum use of indigenous resources: physical, biological, and human -thereby allowing even the very poor to benefit from improved methods.
-Improve the health of families living on small farms by raising nutrition levels.
-Expand access to food, energy, and water.
-Expand access to economic resources.
Disregard the neo-communist rhetoric of the first reviewer and buy this book - easily earns 8 stars on a scale of 1 to 5.
Now it includes the ecology, but where is the justice?.......2001-03-06
The original "Green Revolution" was presented by the Ford and Rockefeller foundations as a way to put off imminent starvation worldwide, buying time while humanity tackled the problem of population increase. While crop yields surely increased in the 1960s-1980s (though much less since then), efforts to limit population growth (outside China) mostly faltered. Worse, many of the chemical-intensive practices of the GR proved to be ecologically unsound. Worse still, the focus on yields and population effectively erased the question of food ACCESS from mainstream debates. While we have had food stocks adequate to feed every human on the planet for many decades, we have lacked the will and mechanisms to insure the poor access to that food. Indeed, millions of formerly self-sufficient smallholder farmers have "become" poor in the GR era because they no longer have access to land, nor access to sufficient cash.
This book rightfully states that future green-revolutionaries will need to pay far more attention to the environment, to ensure ecologically sustainable production in the future; and that agricultural scientists will need to work in genuine partnership with farmers (though previous efforts at so-called "partnerships" by such organizations as the World Bank or International Rice Research Institute have been laughably one-sided and dominated by elites). This is (nowadays, at least) relatively uncontroversial. But until and unless we make large political changes regarding food distribution -- food justice, if you will -- we're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, as far as the poor are concerned.
More production, more ecologically done -- you bet. Population control -- crucial. Greater participation of farmers in agricultural decision-making -- essential. Food justice -- politically difficult, but indispensible. This book tackles elements of the food problem, but leaves a few things out as well.

Trotsky and E.H. Carr.......2007-01-29
If one wants to understand contemporary world politics then one ought to read this book.The Russian Revolution WAS and IS the most important event of the 20th century. Trotsky, the consumate Marxist, explains to us the whole story from the inside ---looking out. I might add that as a companion to Trotsky's works one should read the British historian E.H. Carr's History of the Russian Revolution. Carr was no Marxist but gives us as a view of the revolution from the outside--- looking in.

A revolutionary retrospective .......2006-06-28
A reader of 'The Revolution Betrayed' will find invaluable insight into the 'intellectual response' of a leading Soviet politician. Trotsky was a very important contributor to the theoretical idiom which frames the 'conceptual creation' of the USSR. He had a part to play in many critical phases of the October Revolution and Civil War, organizing and propagandizing, enforcing harsh discipline and imposing his theoretical brand of Marxism on the Soviet State. His distinguished position in Lenin's party is beyond debate. Reading this text gives the reader a deeper analytical impression into the changes and transformations that occurred in the highest echelons of the Soviet bureaucracy, as Stalin began to accrue power. Indispensable reading for anybody with an interest in Russia history.
Revolutions revisited.......2006-02-01
In my humble opinion, Trotsky's "Revolution Betrayed" is the best analysis of not only the Russian revolution, but revolutions in general. I have studied revolutions in the modern world quite extensively, and re-reading this book at this particular time in history was a true eye-opener - again. To be simplistic, revolutions do not provide lasting success when nothing is to be gained. Those who rise against existing power expect to be rewarded, not with poverty, but with a certain degree of wealth and privilege. If there is nothing to be distributed, then what is the use in fighting? Stalin unfortunately stepped in at the right place, at the right time. Not good for the outcome of that revolution, not good for socialism, but good for Stalin's kind of power.
A few years ago I visited Komsomolsk, Stalin's "Youth" city. It was decaying, a pitiful sight to behold. Buildings on ultra-wide neglected avenues in need of repair, high weeds everywhere, crime uncontrolled. Power gone bad?
Stalin and his compulsive bureaucracy were feared all over Europe. Blessed with clear early childhood memories that include the conversation of adults, I vividly remember my grandmother's fear of Stalin discussed with friends and family members. They witnessed the rise of this awful bureaucracy next door, word of the killings and the horrible brutality didn't just dribble out, it flowed out. I want to say that the Stalinist bureaucracy is unique, but all bureaucracies are designed to increase continuously and feed of themselves, and exist everywhere in the world. And people flock to them for employment, protection, security, in great masses, because bureaucracies deliver security. And if people do not fly into bureaucratic arms directly, they deal with them on a daily basis. There is no getting away from that apparatus of suffocation, nowhere.
Bureaucracy does not have to be bad, and Trotsky dwells on the need for leadership from within the workers, the suppressed, creating a bureaucracy that is just and fair. Is that ever possible? I believe that capitalism and bureaucracy are a contradiction, and unless corruption reigns, they cannot coexist. What comes next?
Trotsky's book raises more questions than it answers, but I am sure it was written for that purpose as well as enlightening the scholar of his interpretation of a betrayed revolution. And where do we go from here?
Trotsky: Mass Murderer and Liar.......2005-01-30
You know, I hate to burst the bubble of devoted Trotskyites across the globe, but Trotsky was just as responsible for Stalin's rule as anyone. For Leon to blame Stalin is the height of hypocrisy. Without Lenin's apparatus of social repression and Trotsky's apparatus of military dictatorship, Stalin would never have been.
The Russian Revolution was never a win for workers. It destroyed them, some 4 million at Lenin's hands, 30 million by Stalin, and 65 million by Mao Tse-tung.
No policy or ideology that denies the soul can ever succeed. And communism does just that. By denying that which makes humans humans, it can bring only suffering.
why workers state is stronger than the bureaucracy.......2003-03-25
First published over 60 years ago, this definitely is a book for today. Leon Trotsky, a central leader of Russian revolution and commander of the Red Army offers an insightful analysis of what led to the rise of the Stalinist Bureaucracy in the former Soviet Union.
War weariness, scarcity of the necessities of life, and the retreat of the world revolution created conditions for career seekers, faint hearts, dogmatists and bullies to thrive, and slowly but surely drive the Russian workers and peasants out of politics.
The idea that the fall of the Stalinist regimes in the late 1980's and early 90's would usher in a new prolonged period of prosperity for capitalism has proven to be wishful thinking at best. As Trotsky painstakingly details in the book, the workers states is stronger than the Bureaucracy that sits and feeds upon it.
The present US led invasion of Iraq is partly due to the failure to save it's declining empire through the Moscow route.
