The Five Principles of War
War has been an indelible part of human civilisation since the dawn of history, and the war in our neighbourhood has shown that it is not just a remote event in time and space. Conflict, violence and war are an integral and terrible part of human behaviour, whether it is the world conflagrations that have covered continents in blood or the clashes that have blighted our daily lives. The outbreak of armed conflict, its nature, the reasons for victory and defeat have been written about in countless books from antiquity to the present day. In his book, Lieutenant General Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi, former commander of the Hungarian Defence Forces, who has seen the battlefields of Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine, sets out to condense the principles of war into five simple, clear points. Although the examples used to illustrate them are drawn from war situations, this book is not only for readers interested in military history and theories. Whether it's how we relate to opposing and allied forces, how we define our objectives, or the importance of communication, the principles set out here are applicable to any conflict and can help us win the battles of our lives.
A háború öt alapelve
„Meggyőződésem, hogy a háború öt alapelve nemcsak és kizárólag a katonáknak ad, adhat iránymutatást, hanem alkalmazható az élet más területein is.” A háborúk a történelem hajnalától kezdve az emberi civilizáció kiirthatatlan részét képezik, és a szomszédunkban dúló háború megmutatta, hogy nem csak tőlünk időben és térben távoli eseményekről van szó. A konfliktus, erőszak és a háború az emberi viselkedés szerves, rettenetes része, akár a kontinensek sorát vérbe borító világégésekről, akár a hétköznapjainkat megkeserítő összecsapásokról van szó. A fegyveres konfliktusok kirobbanásáról, természetéről, a győzelem és ve...

Novák András haditudósító, újságíró közreműködésével írt könyvében a kezdetektől, az edelényi gyerekkortól és az egri honvédkollégiumtól egészen a Honvéd Vezérkarig követhetjük végig életútját.

Napoleon 1814

X, Y and Z
December, 1932 In the bathroom of a Belgian hotel, a French spymaster photographs top-secret documents – the operating instructions of the cipher machine, Enigma. A few weeks later a mathematician in Warsaw begins to decipher the coded communications of the Third Reich and lays the foundations for the code-breaking operation at Bletchley Park. The co-operation between France, Britain and Poland is given the cover-name 'X, Y & Z'. December, 1942 It is the middle of World War Two. The Polish code-breakers have risked their lives to continue their work inside Vichy France, even as an uncertain future faces their homeland. Now they are on the run from the Gestapo. People who know the Enigma secret are not supposed to be in the combat zone, so MI6 devises a plan to exfiltrate them. If it goes wrong, if they are caught, the consequences could be catastrophic for the Allies. Based on original research and newly released documents, X, Y & Z is the exhilarating story of those who risked their lives to protect the greatest secret of World War Two.
