Which Tank Was World War II’s Best?
*Michael Peck* *Tanks, Europe* It depends on the year. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Do historical rankings make a difference beyond mere curiosity? The answer is yes, for those wise enough to learn from history. It can be argued that the best tank is the one that destroys the enemy. Or, depending on your point of view, it's the one that isn't shooting at you. But otherwise, choosing the top tank is always a nightmare of technical and historical analysis. There are so many variables, and so many experts and history buffs that will argue those variables to the death. Yet into t... read more
You Have to See this Crazy Civil War Weapon to Believe It
*Peter Suciu* *Railway Guns, Americas* Both the South and the North employed heavy railway guns during the war. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Confederates were the first to deploy a railroad gun in combat. The most famous—even infamous—examples of large artillery pieces mounted on railway cars occurred during the Second World War when Germany employed these gigantic weapons in the sieges of Leningrad and Sevastopol. During the latter siege, the Germans had to build a special railway spur along with four semi-circular tracks for the gun’s car to transverse, while it took tw... read more

To Stop the Soviets, Sweden Tried Building the Saab A-36 Nuclear Bomber
*Peter Suciu* *Saab A-36, Europe* Even though Sweden did not go nuclear, it has always kept a powerful military to guard its neutrality. Here is how it seriously looking into an atomic bomber. *Key point: *Sweden feared the Soviet Union and so considered building an entire nuclear weapons program and bomber fleet to protect itself. During the 1950s Sweden may have maintained a policy of neutrality, yet it still sought to develop a rather well-stocked arsenal of domestically-produced military hardware. From 1952-57 the Scandinavian nation even conducted a feasibility study to ... read more

* The Post-COVID Classical-Education Boom* As students return to school this fall, classical education is experiencing an historic boom. The classical-education model has a tradition — steeped in the great books, the liberal arts, and the natural sciences — that extends back millennia. The appeal is obvious, even if it had, until recently, lain somewhat dormant. So why the sudden resurgence? Simple: It is an unexpected outcome of COVID-19’s disruption of the American education system. When COVID hit, many schools and teachers pivoted quickly to remote learning and worked to move t... read more

America has lost one of its most incisive, insightful voices
Professor Angelo Codevilla, whom we've met in these pages many times before, has died of injuries he suffered from a vehicle accident. He was apparently knocked down by a drunk driver. It may be a measure of the cynicism and suspicion that dominate American politics today that not a few people - including myself - upon hearing the news, instantly harbored dark suspicions that the "establishment", the "ruling class" as he famously dubbed them, had finally had enough of him, and had taken steps to get rid of what they doubtless regarded as his pernicious influence. That's proba... read more

Taurus’ G3 Pistol Is Easy on the Wallet, but How Does It Perform?

But in its final days, the F-14 was at its peak. Early in the morning on March 19, 2003, U.S. Special Operations Forces infiltrated western Iraq to neutralize strategic radar and command installations. It was one of the first attacks of the American-led invasion — and it played out under the watchful gaze of a secretive detachment of aging but still very capable U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcat f... read more

There have been countless navies in the last three thousand years of human history.
