	Second Chechen War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The war has been one of the fiercest and bloodiest military conflicts in the world at the turn of the millennium as the Russian military and pro-Russian Chechen paramilitary forces struggled to dislodge determined Chechen separatists.
		A rebel post-operative war council was held in Alkhan-Yurt, where it was decided that the Chechen forces would retreat into the inaccessible Vedeno and Argun gorges in the southern mountains to carry on a guerrilla war against the Russians.
		In October 1999, at the beginning of the invasion of Chechnya, Russia was able to deploy in the war zone only 68 transport and attack helicopters – a quarter of the number amassed for the war in Afghanistan, though the number of troops sent to Afghanistan and the second Chechen war is roughly the same.

		War can consist of any hostile course of action undertaken by one country to weaken, harm, and dominate another country.
		In the first chapter of his history of the Second World War, entitled “The Follies of the Victors,” Winston Churchill wrote that the triumphant Western allies after the First World War made two mistakes, which in combination were fatal.
		Yet the fact that the victors’ inexcusable follies enabled Germany to initiate a devastating war against Europe did not change the fact that Germany had initiated the war and had to be beaten.

		John Keegan's The Second World War is a one-volume general history of the 1939-45 conflict, and it should be read more as an introductory text rather than a comprehensive "this-is-the-book-that-explains-the-whole-darned-thing" opus.
		Some war histories are "tales from the trenches", or present the arch-typical "generals view", or focus strictly on military details, or ignore military details and consider diplomatic/political motivations.

		You see the war through his eyes and how lucky we are that he took the time and trouble to write it all down so comprehensively.
		I came to this having already the war diary of Lord Alanbrooke - Churchill's military chief of staff for much of the war - and I initially wondered where this would be Churchill's version of the war with his successes and others mistakes.

	Second World War Posters (British) www.ww2poster.co.uk
		Many posters are used in Second World War books, but they tend to have been used simply as illustrations, not as the historical documents that they undoubtedly are.
		It is unlikely that the government would have spent valuable money on posters if they did not believe that they were necessary, and in this way the posters can also give us an idea of how the people regarded their role in wartime: if there was a poster then there was behaviour to be adjusted.
		My belief that Second World War posters were an understudied area, worthy of an in depth investigation, led to the commencement of a PhD project, further details of which can be found through looking under 'Project'.

		In this history of World War II, the author explores both the technical and the human impact of the conflict.
		The text concentrates on five crucial battles with the aim of illuminating the war as a whole: Crete, Midway, Falaise, Berlin and Okinawa.
		The focus of the book is on the military details (manoeuvres, weapons, etc.); I would have preferred more discussion of the political, social, historical and cultural context of the war (although the economic context is covered quite well) and a little less technical military detail.
