Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SFC Mark A. Alaimo shares a glimpse of his grueling experiences in the war on terrorism, how it shook his life and his eventual quest for healing. SFC Alaimos account is not a glamorized story of victory nor is it about the glory associated with war. Rather, it is the poignant and true recollection of a man who has been to the war, seen and experienced its horrors and, finally, returned with a changed view of the world, his country and life. The pages give voice to the fears, doubts and pain that thousands of soldiers go through in the battlefield and even after combat. The author shares fragments of his childhood, his disappointments and even his struggle with post traumatic stress. What results is a book that effectively captures a realistic and humanized perspective of war and how it affects the lives that became intertwined in it. Ultimately, DUTY. HONOR. FOR MY COUNTRY is a story of one mans love for his country and the sacrifices he had to make for his devotion. It radiates hope and inspiration most especially to the soldiers who share the same story crystallized in the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume, first published in 1962, consists of two distinguished speeches given by the General of the U.S. Army, Douglas MacArthur. The first address took place on April 19, 1951 and was held before a joint meeting of the two houses of United States Congress—the House of Representatives and the Senate—and took place in the Hall of the House of Representatives. This meeting followed on just one week from MacArthur’s removal from command by President Harry S. Truman. The second address was held on May 12, 1921 and was given to The Members of the Association of Graduates, U.S.M.A., The Corps of Cadets, and Distinguished Guests. It was given on the occasion of MacArthur’s acceptance of the Sylvanus Thayer Award for outstanding service to the nation, which had gone to Eisenhower the year before. The event was held at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A profile of the Bush political clan patriarch—who he was and what he stood for, the examples he set, the events he shared, and the lives he touched. Prescott Bush is the only person in US history to be father of a US President, grandfather of a US President, and grandfather of a state governor. Duty, Honor, Country is more than a biography of the U.S. Senator from Connecticut, although it is that. It looks at the principles that Prescott Bush passed on like family heirlooms to his five children, including George H.W. Bush, the forty-first President of the United States: discipline, duty, ethics, commitment, courage, honor, honesty, loyalty, and responsibility. And it looks at the ways the Bush family legacy has made Prescott Bush, former President George Bush, George W. Bush, and Jeb Bush give themselves to public service. “My father believed in the concept of noblesse oblige,” said former President George Bush. “You made your money and you had a duty to serve the community or your country.” Written with the encouragement and enthusiasm of former President Bush, the book is a readable story of noblesse oblige in action, from the time Prescott Bush served in town government in Greenwich, Connecticut, to his career as a US Senator from Connecticut, to his role in passing far-reaching legislation in the Eisenhower years. It also deals honestly with Prescott Bush’s alleged business relationships with Nazi industrialists and other accusations. Half of the book also shows how the commitment to public service was lived out in the lives of Prescott’s children and grandchildren, focusing on his son George H.W. Bush and his grandsons George W. Bush and Jeb Bush.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After graduating from West Point in 1892, Charles Pelot Summerall (1867–1955) launched a distinguished military career, fighting Filipino insurgents in 1899 and Boxers in China in 1900. His remarkable service included brigade, division, and corps commands in World War I; duty as chief of staff of the U.S. Army from 1926 to 1930; and presidency of the Citadel for twenty years, where he was instrumental in establishing the school’s national reputation. Previously available only in the Citadel’s archives, Summerall’s memoir offers an eyewitness account of a formative period in U.S. Army history. Edited and annotated by Timothy K. Nenninger, the memoir documents critical moments in American military history and details Summerall’s personal life, from his impoverished childhood in Florida to his retirement from the Citadel in 1953. From the perspective of both a soldier and a general, Summerall describes how the very nature of war changed irrevocably during his lifetime.

Book excerpt: These pages contain my personal recollections of the valor of men willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause of freedom. Men risking all, day after day, during their tour of duty. Men daring to fly into the jaws of destruction to save their brothers in arms. Whose accomplishments on the field of battle were belittled in the press, castigated by the "anti-war movement", and ignored by the rest of Americans. Men who endured a hostile reception in the country that sent them to war. They learned to keep silent about their service speaking quietly only to each other about it. They saw the honor given their fathers in World War II turned to scorn for their own bravery in combat.It is about those who flew with an elite unit specifically developed for this war. The First Cavalry was the first Airmobile Division capable of moving all its infantry and artillery by helicopter and supporting them by air in the field. The high level of firepower, speed and flexibility of movement was unprecedented in the history of war.The book reveals the failure of America to grasp the nature of the vicious contest between enslaving communists and the guardians of liberty. It exposes the insanity of street mobs bent on forcing an end to the Viet Nam War using the violence they claimed to deplore.It is about a national press abandoning investigation and patriotic reservation in reporting for a bold new method of using events to fashion a story to fit preconceived ideas. No military secret was safe, every horror was exposed, no condemnation of America withheld. The press quashed only criticism of the enemy and the lawless people in America's streets.In the end, dissembling traitors were hailed for their support of America's enemies and for ruthless lies about our soldiers. The government lacking the fortitude to continue its commitment to freedom left Southeast Asia to writhe in chains and slaughter brought by the communists.

Book excerpt: "It's hard to imagine Derek Jeter or Tiger Woods heading to Iraq to join the U.S. armed forces. But in World War II no American man between the ages of twenty and forty-five was too big to serve--except for the basketball players who exceeded the Army's 6'6" limits for recruits, a situation illustrated in this excellent book. Part log, part pictorial, and total history lesson, this book could be sent to school with your kids and used for social studies class. Riveting and moving." --Sports Illustrated "Bloomfield's extensively researched book . . . is a must-have for any sports-history fan. It's encyclopedic in scope and richly illustrated with fascinating photos." -- Army Times "This survey tells, with a refreshing lack of sentimentality, the tales of sportsmen who found themselves in a far deadlier kind of combat. Bloomfield not only shows us a little-known side of World War II but also surveys a fascinating moment in American sports history." --Booklist From the sandlots, asphalt, and cinder tracks of 1930s America, to its country battlefields and stadium gridirons, the spirit of America's youthful athletes was abruptly transformed from doing their best in sports to showing the mettle in life-and-death warfare. Painstakingly researched and profusely illustrated, Duty, Honor, Victory tells the stories of the well-known athletes whose on-field exploits brought another type of fame, but whose battlefield duty has been long overlooked. Here is football's Chuck Bednarik flying bombing missions over Germany; baseball's Bob Feller commanding an anti-aircraft gun crew aboard the USS Alabama; Warren Spahn wounded and nearly killed when the bridge at Remagen collapses; and Yogi Berra on a rocket boat in Normandy. Duty, Honor, Victory addresses all sports, from tennis and golf, to baseball, football, and basketball. Included here are stories of well-known professionals, lesser known college players, as well as black athletes who fought for our country during World War II. From the origins of Nazi Germany and imperial Japan in the 1930s through their defeats in 1945--extending into 1946 and the integration of major league baseball--this book shows every aspect of America's athletes in World War II.

This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times best-selling biography of one of America’s most storied military figures. General William Tecumseh Sherman’s 1864 burning of Atlanta solidified his legacy as a ruthless leader. Evolving from a spirited student at West Point, Sherman became a general who fought in some of the Civil War’s most decisive campaigns—Shiloh, Vicksburg, Atlanta—until finally, seeking a swift ending to the war’s horrendous casualties, he devastated southern resources on his famous March to the Sea across the Carolinas. Later, as general-in-chief of the U.S. Army, Sherman relentlessly paved the way west during the Indian wars. James Lee McDonough’s fresh insight reveals a man tormented by fears that history would pass him by and that he would miss his chance to serve his country. Drawing on years of research, McDonough delves into Sherman’s dramatic personal life, including his strained relationship with his wife, his personal debts, and his young son’s death. The result is a remarkable, illuminating portrait of an American icon.

Book excerpt: Four-star General Wesley K. Clark became a major figure on the political scene when he was drafted by popular demand to run for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 2003. But this was just one of many exceptional accomplishments of a long and extraordinary career. Here, for the first time, General Clark uses his unique life experience—from his difficult youth in segregated Arkansas where he was raised by his poor, widowed mother; through the horror of Vietnam where he was wounded; the post-war rebuilding of national security and the struggles surrounding the new world order after the Cold War—as a springboard to reveal his vision for America, at home and in the world. General Clark will address issues such as foreign policy, the economy, the environment, education and health care, family, faith, and the American dream. Rich with breathtaking battle scenes, poignant personal anecdote and eye-opening recommendations on the best way forward, General Clark's new book is a tour de force of gripping storytelling and inspiring vision.
