Download or read book A Marine's Letters from Nicaragua written by David Ekardt and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following story is about an extraordinary Marine, Thomas Grant Bruce, Master Sgt., Lt. in the Guardia Nacional of Nicaragua. Bruce was highly decorated, highly motivated and committed to the Corps, his men and especially his wife. He had earned the French Croix de Geure and Silver Star for his actions in World War I. He had been one of the Mail Guards after the war, participated in the Sesquicentennial celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, and served as a recruiter. He had been in Nicaragua for a couple of years of 1922-1924, then returned in 1927 which is the period these letters cover.The documents and letters used in this book came to light in an unusual way. I was giving history talks to visitors at the Tampa Bay History Center on the Fourth of July, and got into a conversation with a gentleman about the local history. He explained that he had an extensive collection of artifacts collected over the years and extended an invitation to see them. While there he brought out an old file box that he indicated that he had purchased it at a yard sale a few years prior. In it were the personal copies of enlistments, letters of commendations and a large group of letters written by M.Sgt. Bruce to his wife in 1927 from Nicaragua. He was certain after reading my previous book, that I could tell a story with the contents of the box.The letters that Bruce wrote to his wife were very articulate, detailed and informative to his everyday life, duties, and actions that he had been in. It became clear that here was an exceptional Marine. His enthusiasm and dedication to his mission and his men was very apparent. It came across that he took his mission to thwart the actions of rebel leader Sandino as a very personal mission. These letters give a glimpse into a bygone era, one of the several 'Banana Wars' that the Marines were involved in during the early 1900's. From the details in his letters about his everyday activities to the des

Book excerpt: Product Description: Since the tragic events of 9/11 and the consequent advent of the Global War on Terrorism, there has been a remarkable surge of interest in counterinsurgency. This anthology presents 27 articles on counterinsurgency and irregular warfare, particularly highlighting and examining the U.S. Marine Corps' roles in conflicts from 1898 through 2007. It also includes an extensive bibliography of works on these conflicts. Continuing discussion and study of these subjects is of critical importance to the ongoing efforts of the United States and its allies in the Global War on Terrorism. The anthology is divided broadly into two halves: the first half presents historical examples of counterinsurgency involving the United States-from the Philippines and the "Banana Wars" up through Vietnam-while the second half addresses the nation's contemporary efforts in this regard. Articles cover the situations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa. The selected bibliography addresses a broad range of subjects: on higher-end operational/strategic level of war considerations, on geopolitical context, and on a varied array of related topics-political theory, historical case studies, failed states, cultural studies and analysis, and many others-that all provide context or play a role in conducting a counterinsurgency and achieving success in the realm of irregular warfare. Colonel Stephen S. Evans, USMCR, researched and compiled this work as a field historian with the Marine Corps History Division. He has experience at various operational levels, both joint and multinational, in CONUS and overseas, and has performed duty with all three MEFs, MARFORLANT, MARFOREUR, and U.S. forces in Korea. He has also held a range of positions in administrative and educational roles at Quantico and the Pentagon. Colonel Evans holds a doctorate in history from Temple University and has published two historical monographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the turn of the 20th century until the end of World War II, the United States Marine Corps fought a series of "small wars," starting in the Philippines in 1899, and ending in the islands of the southwest Pacific in 1945. Through this experience, the Marines perfected the prosecution of such wars in its famed Small Wars Manual, written for Marine Corps schools in the late 1930s. The present volume is a chronological examination of the various Marine expeditions in the Pacific, West Indies and Central America from 1899 through 1945, and of the lessons learned.

Book Synopsis Kentucky Marine by : David J. Bettez
Download or read book Kentucky Marine written by David J. Bettez and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A native of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, Major General Logan Feland (1869–1936) played a major role in the development of the modern Marine Corps. Highly decorated for his heroic actions during the battle of Belleau Wood in World War I, Feland led the hunt for rebel leader Augusto César Sandino during the Nicaraguan revolution from 1927 to 1929—an operation that helped to establish the Marines' reputation in guerrilla warfare and search-and-capture missions. Yet, despite rising to become one of the USMC's most highly ranked and regarded officers, Feland has been largely ignored in the historical record. In Kentucky Marine, David J. Bettez uncovers the forgotten story of this influential soldier of the sea. During Feland's tenure as an officer, the Corps expanded exponentially in power and prestige. Not only did his command in Nicaragua set the stage for similar twenty-first-century operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, but Feland was one of the first instructors in the USMC's Advanced Base Force, which served as the forerunner of the amphibious assault force mission the Marines adopted in World War II. Kentucky Marine also illuminates Feland's private life, including his marriage to successful soprano singer and socialite Katherine Cordner Feland, and details his disappointment at being twice passed over for the position of commandant. Drawing from personal letters, contemporary news articles, official communications, and confidential correspondence, this long-overdue biography fills a significant gap in twentieth-century American military history.
Book Synopsis The Family Letters of Victor and Meta Berger, 1894-1929 by : Michael E. Stevens
Download or read book The Family Letters of Victor and Meta Berger, 1894-1929 written by Michael E. Stevens and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Family Letters of Victor and Meta Berger provide an insider's view of congressional, labor and party politics as well as a glimpse into the marriage and family life of a prominent Wisconsin couple. Victor Berger helped create a well-organized political machine in Milwaukee that engineered his election to the U.S. House of Representatives six times and controlled the mayor's office for almost 50 years. His wife, Meta, an activist in her own right, served as a member of the Milwaukee school board and of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, and vigorously advocated on behalf of woman suffrage and peace. Mixing commentary on public affairs with family news and love notes, The Family Letters demonstrate how Victor and Meta were both interested observers as well as actors who sought to shape events in early twentieth century America.
Book Synopsis The War of 1898, and U.S. Interventions, 1898-1934 by : Benjamin R. Beede
Download or read book The War of 1898, and U.S. Interventions, 1898-1934 written by Benjamin R. Beede and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1994 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating encyclopedic survey of the Spanish-Cuban/American War, the Philippine War, and the small wars between 1899 and the end of the occupation of Haiti in 1934. The name changes themselves are instructive. The usage of "Spanish-American War" ignores the fact that the war in Cuba had been largely won by the Cuban revolutionaries before US intervention, hence the new title, Spanish-Cuban/American War. The use of "Philippine Insurrection" is replaced by Philippine War, since the Philippine forces had taken much of the islands from Spain before US ground forces arrived. And guerillas or revolutionaries have replaced "bandits," the term used by the US to discredit oppositional forces. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
