In 1982, the United Kingdom and Argentina engaged in a large-scale Falklands War to compete for sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands and adjacent waters in the South Atlantic. In this naval and air battle, new military technologies and equipment such as precision guidance technology and nuclear submarines were put into the battlefield, making this naval battle significantly different from the traditional naval battles before it. This opened the prelude to a new era in the history of world wars and announced the advent of the era of high-tech warfare. Many military historians called it the first modern war in the twentieth century. This book describes the turbulent war history with delicate writing style, and truly reproduces the shocking battle scenes, which are evocative and thought-provoking.

1942 was the turning point of World War II. At the beginning of the year, the Axis powers were still victorious on various battlefields. By the end of the year, the prospect of their final defeat had appeared. The Pacific Theater was no exception. To this end, the aircraft carriers of the U. S. Pacific Fleet have created immortal glory and paid a heavy price. When the turning point came, among the veterans who had fought desperately with the Japanese army in the Pacific for a whole year, only the "Enterprise" and the "Saratoga" survived. Among them, the aircraft carrier "Enterprise" and her crew are particularly worth mentioning. They participated in almost all major battles during the year and made indelible contributions. In the end, they fought all the way to the coast of Japan and saw the day of final victory. Now, let us take a look at the experience of this glorious battleship in this glorious year!

The M16 automatic rifle is the world's first small-caliber rifle. Its birth and development are still accompanied by controversy and criticism. However, the emergence of small-caliber rifles has, after all, set off a revolution in small arms around the world, and will affect profound changes in future infantry weapons and other aspects. None of this prevents the M16 rifle from becoming the longest-serving, most derivative, and most influential individual weapon in the United States since World War II. This book takes the design and production process of the M16 series of rifles, and runs through the major historical events, classic combat examples and detailed illustrations related to it, once again showing readers the epitome of the development of this world-famous gun.

In 1982, the collision between the two old enemies, Syria and Israel, on the land of the third country, Lebanon, finally inevitably began. On June 9, the Israeli Air Force attacked and destroyed the Syrian anti-aircraft missile positions in the Bekaa Valley, and launched a fierce air battle with the Syrian Air Force that followed. Large-scale fighting in the air and on the ground continued until noon on the 11th, when the two sides reached a ceasefire. In addition to profoundly affecting the situation in the Middle East and the world structure, this war also created a series of new war models and greatly affected the appearance of modern air combat. Some commentators believed that this was a futuristic war fought by Israel using modern weapons. This classic air battle has since become a myth in the textbooks of the air forces of various countries.
