Bolivia is a country with a reputation. Not so long ago it was for Che Guevara, for whose death its citizens are on occasions held to be collectively responsible. More recently it has been for cocaine. But in general it is for political disorder. Readers of serious newspapers may retain in the back of their minds the fact that the country has experienced a large number of military coups; they will not, in all probability, recall the exact number, but it is very high. Yet, Guevara was an intruder, an Argentine arriving from Cuba to fight an international revolution. The fact that he did not understand Bolivia played an important part in determining that he died there. In recent years production of cocaine has indeed flourished in the east of the country, but while a great many peasant farmers are involved in the cultivation of the coca leaf from which the drug is obtained, the small number of traffickers in cocaine have become a cosmopolitan breed, in no sense representative of the nation as a whole and capable of influencing its government only for a very short period.

A History of the Design Bureau and its Aircraft Yefim Gordon & Vladimir Rigmant The origins of the design bureau that was to bear his name can be traced back to the appointment of Andrey Nikolayevich Tupolev as head of the TsAGI's Aviation Department in 1918. Over the years, nearly 300 projects have evolved within the OKB. Nearly 90 reached the prototype construction stage, with more than 40 types put into series production.In the 1930s, the TB-1 (ANT-4) and TB-3 (ANT-6) bombers, the latter being the world's first heavy strategic bomber, paved the way for the long line of large multi-engined aircraft both civil and military for which the OKB is justly famed.

The year 1973 saw the end of direct American combat involvement in the Southeast Asia conflict-a conflict sometimes referred to as the Indochina War, the Vietnam War, and by other assorted sobriquets. This is an illustrated account of United States Air Force activities in that war from 1961 to 1973. It makes no pretence of being a comprehensive history of the war, or even of Air Force participation therein-not because it lacks historical authenticity (it contains only verifiable material), but simply because it is, by design, limited in scope and depth

The Vietnam War remains a topic of extraordinary interest, not least because of striking parallels between that conflict and more recent fighting in the Middle East. In The Vietnam War, Mark Atwood Lawrence draws upon the latest research in archives around the world to offer readers a superb account of a key moment in U.S. as well as global history.

История не знает сослагательного наклонения. Но это вовсе не отменяет столь популярные сейчас исследования на тему: "Что было бы, если бы?.." Что было бы, если бы Гитлер осуществил вторжение в Англию? Что было бы, если бы в августе 41-го он бросил все свои силы на захват Москвы? История Второй мировой войны содержит бесчисленное множество подобных "развилок", и их исследование - вовсе не никчемное любопытство.
