They are headed for Travis Air force base just north of the city, filled with a seemingly endless supply of young men who are themselves filled with doubts and fears.

Il 24 febbraio 2022 Oksana Zabuzko, in Polonia per promuovere il suo nuovo libro, viene informata che Kyjiv, la sua città, è sotto attacco russo. Ma la messa a punto delle teorie russe per soggiogare i Paesi confinanti risale, ci ricorda lei, ai primi anni Settanta, con un piano in quattro fasi che prevedeva la demoralizzazione, la destabilizzazione, la crisi e la normalizzazione di un popolo.

This book examines the root causes of veteran isolation, from PTSD, hyper-vigilance, and emotional numbness to the loss of identity and purpose that military life once provided.

Immortalised in Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels, the 95th Rifles were skirmishers tasked with acting as Wellington's advanced guard.

The 95th Rifles were the prototype of the modern infantryman.
