Principal Muslim Rulers of Bengal --Select Bibliography --IndexIn all of the South Asian subcontinent, Bengal was the region most receptive to the Islamic faith. This area today is home to the world's second-largest Muslim ethnic population. How and why did such a large Muslim population emerge there? And how does such a religious conversion take place? Richard Eaton uses archaeological evidence, monuments, narrative histories, poetry, and Mughal administrative documents to trace the long historical encounter between Islamic and Indic civilizations.Moving from the year 1204, when Persianized Turks from North India annexed the former Hindu states of the lower Ganges delta, to 1760, when the British East India Company rose to political dominance there, Eaton explores these moving frontiers, focusing especially on agrarian growth and religious change.Comparative studies on Muslim societies ;Volume 17.IslamIndiaBengalHistoryBengal (India)HistoryIslamHistory.954.14Eaton Richard Maxwell665906American Council of Learned Societies.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910495963003321The Rise of Islam and the Bengal Frontier, 1204-17602382687UNINA03758nam 2200721 450 991080820060332120211116232704.00-8014-7138-91-322-52224-30-8014-7139-710.7591/9780801471391(CKB)3710000000216383(OCoLC)889302586(CaPaEBR)ebrary10904423(SSID)ssj0001291686(PQKBManifestationID)11693090(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001291686(PQKBWorkID)11248165(PQKB)11720259(OCoLC)967525006(MdBmJHUP)muse51926(DE-B1597)478342(OCoLC)979579880(DE-B1597)9780801471391(Au-PeEL)EBL3138631(CaPaEBR)ebr10904423(CaONFJC)MIL683506(OCoLC)887802634(MiAaPQ)EBC3138631(EXLCZ)99371000000021638320140815h20032003 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrStorm of steel the development of armor doctrine in Germany and the Soviet Union, 1919-1939 /Mary R.

The Evidence of Small Wars Armor Doctrine in Practice, 1936-1939 --Epilogue Armor Doctrine and Large Wars, 1939-1941 --List of Abbreviations --IndexIn this fascinating account of the battle tanks that saw combat in the European Theater of World War II, Mary R. Habeck traces the strategies developed between the wars for the use of armored vehicles in battle. Only in Germany and the Soviet Union were truly original armor doctrines (generally known as "blitzkreig" and "deep battle") fully implemented. Storm of Steel relates how the German and Soviet armies formulated and chose to put into practice doctrines that were innovative for the time, yet in many respects identical to one another.As part of her extensive archival research in Russia, Germany, and Britain, Habeck had access to a large number of formerly secret and top-secret documents from several post-Soviet archives. This research informs her comparative approach as she looks at the roles of technology, shared influences, and assumptions about war in the formation of doctrine. She also explores relations between the Germans and the Soviets to determine whether collaboration influenced the convergence of their armor doctrines.Cornell studies in security affairs.Tank warfareMilitary doctrineGermanyHistory20th centuryMilitary doctrineSoviet UnionHistory20th centuryTank warfare.Military doctrineHistoryMilitary doctrineHistory358/.18/094309041Habeck Mary R.960264MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808200603321Storm of steel3961644UNINA
