ROME, PARTHIA & INDIA
by John D. Grainger
The Violent Emergence of a New World Order 150-140 BC. Between
152 and 138 BC a series of wars from Africa to India produced a
radically new geopolitical situation. In 150 BC Rome was
confined to the western Mediterranean, and the largest state was
the Seleukid Empire. By 140 BC Rome had spread to the borders of
Asia Minor and the Seleukid Empire was confined to Syria. The
new great power in the Middle East was Parthia, stretching from
Babylonia to Baktria. These two divided the western world
between them until the Arab conquests in the seventh century AD.
Die RAD - Infanterie - division "Friedrich Ludwig Jahn" in der Lücke
zwiachen 9. und 12. Armee. Whilst the Second World War lasted six
years, the "19-Day War" of the title describes the final battles in
central Germany in the nineteen days from 20th April to 8th May,
1945 - from the taking of Jüterbogs by the Red Army until the
surrender of the Wehrmacht. It describes the stand of Jüterbog
Infantry Division, "Friedrich Ludwig Jahn" and is drawn from
military memoirs of the German and the Soviet sides, military
archives, battlefield commands and messages, and personal accounts
of veterans and civilians in the combat zone. 26 color maps show the
daily tactical situation in the fighting with various Soviet army
units, particularly the 1st Ukrainian and Belorussian Fronts. The
8,000 poorly trained young men succeeded in halting two Soviet
Guards Tank armies.
