Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of I, Claudius “recounts, in faithful and nicely atmospheric detail” the story of a British soldier during the American Revolution (The Philadelphia Inquirer). The first in a two-book series, Sergeant Lamb’s America tells the story of Sgt. Roger Lamb, an Irish soldier who served on the British side during the American War of Independence. Based on real historical events and people, Sergeant Lamb recounts the British defeat and the capture of his unit at the Battle of Saratoga in a voice that’s both funny, insightful, and wise. This fictionalized account is based on the journals of the historical Sergeant Roger Lamb, and is largely faithful to the true eyewitness account of the American Revolution told from the loser’s perspective. With his engaging, personable voice and basic decency of character, Sergeant Lamb reminds us that regardless of how history casts the British side, there were good men on both sides of this important conflict. “It is a historical novel for which one has a very real respect.” —The New York Times

Book Synopsis Sergeant Lamb of the Ninth by : Robert Graves
Download or read book Sergeant Lamb of the Ninth written by Robert Graves and published by Carcanet Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of Sergeant Roger Lamb, a young Dubliner who had served the Royal Welsh Fusiliers during the American War of Independence was the subject of a novelistic enterprise originally published in two parts because of war time paper shortages. The final result is a pair of picaresque novels concerned with the passions and frustrations of a distant war which mirrored many of Graves' own feelings for World War II which was happening around him. As an account of the struggle for independence, the horrors and excitements of war, the two novels were well reviewed and popular when published in the early 1940s. This chance to have both parts of what Graves considered to be a single project in one volume offers the opportunity of access to a literary and historical creation which both opens up the world of the American War of Independence, and the creative life and mind of a great writer of the 20th century.
Book Synopsis Sergeant Lamb & His Regiments - A Recollection and History of the American War of Independence with the 9th Foot & Royal Welsh Fuzileers by : Roger Lamb
Download or read book Sergeant Lamb & His Regiments - A Recollection and History of the American War of Independence with the 9th Foot & Royal Welsh Fuzileers written by Roger Lamb and published by Leonaur Limited. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger Lamb's war in America plus two regimental histories Every published recollection written by a soldier-irrespective of the time and conflict in which he served-is of inestimable value to posterity and to the historians and students that read them. Some achieve particular recognition . They may be particularly well written, some are especially rare in their subject material or particularly riveting in the tale they tell. Some, despite all of these considerations of quality being present, nevertheless, remain obscure. This account by Roger Lamb of his time serving as a British infantryman in America during the American War of Independence (American Revolution)may well be said to owe its enduring renown to the fact that the author and central character was adopted by the author and poet, Robert Graves ( 'I, Claudius') for two novels written during the early 1940's. The actual Roger Lamb's military career which inspired Graves and is recounted in these pages was certainly full of incident and interest. He served in the Saratoga Campaign of 1777 and The Campaign of 1781 in the Carolinas to Virginia. He was captured and escaped twice. What makes this Leonaur edition of note for readers of military history is that Lamb's account is accompanied by two regimental history extracts by Richard Cannon which cover the period of Lamb's service in the 9th Regiment of Foot and The Royal Welsh Fuzileers-as they were named at the time. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Book Synopsis Roger Lamb's American Revolution by : Don N. Hagist
Download or read book Roger Lamb's American Revolution written by Don N. Hagist and published by . This book was released on 2022-11-04 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the British soldiers who served in North America during the American Revolution, none wrote more about his experiences than Roger Lamb. He certainly had a lot to say: his service in two of the most important campaigns--the 1777 Saratoga campaign and the 1781 campaign through the Carolinas to Virginia--put him in the thick of some of the war's most famous battles. Moreover, he was twice captured and twice escaped, making his way through hostile territory to rejoin the British army. Later in his life he wrote two books chronicling these experiences in great detail. Hundreds of British soldiers went through similar ordeals, sharing in the campaigns, the battles, the captivities, the escapes, but none recounted any aspect of these activities in the level of detail that Lamb did. The first edition of this book, published in 2004, combined all of Roger Lamb's first-hand recollections from his two books, An Original and Authentic Journal of Occurrences during the late American War, from its Commencement to the Year 1783 (Dublin, 1809) and Memoir of his Own Life (Dublin, 1811). Since that publication, two more important documents written by Lamb have come to light--an intelligence report written in 1782 recounting details of one of his escapes, and a "commonplace book" kept later in his life to record a vast range of memories, thoughts, and observations. Roger Lamb's American Revolution: A British Soldier's Story combines all of the material from these four sources pertaining to Lamb's career as a soldier, from the time he joined the army to his departure from it, plus his recollections of childhood and post-military life. The result is the most comprehensive first-hand account by a British soldier in the American Revolution, an essential record for understanding the war in its totality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allene Carter's father-in-law was a decorated veteran. Yet it was not until the Carter family received a call from the White House that she discovered he was a heroic force in the Rhineland campaign. President Clinton awarded the Medal of Honor to several black soldiers who served in World War II. Sergeant Edward A. Carter Jr. was among the recipients. Shocked to learn the extent of Carter's service, Allene was determined to uncover both the truth about her father-in-law's wartime record and why his official recognition was so long in coming. Here is the story not only of Sergeant Carter but also of his family's fight to restore his honor. Theirs is a journey that takes them from local veterans organizations to the office of the president and front pages of the national media. An important piece of American history, Honoring Sergeant Carter is an enduring story of determination and family love.

Book excerpt: Reeling from his memories from the battlefields of Europe in World War I, Marine Corps Sergeant Hiram Tobit returns to the remote Appalachian mountains of his youth to recruit a new generation of woodsmen to serve the nation's armed forces. His native country, however, is fraught with memories of a dead brother, a drunken father, and a mother dead by her own hand. Still, there is grace to be found in the insular mountain community, and when Hiram meets a young single mother and a daughter who is every bit the child of nature, he sees a chance to generate a new kind of family pointing toward the promise of peace. A sudden bloody act of madness ruptures this hope, however, and the small town comes together to seek justice. Hiram and his estranged father Sloane ride out to find the murderer and bring him back to stand trial. The father and son's journey through the wilderness calls up ghosts of the past, so that each man must come to terms with his own guilt in a world searching for innocence. Both mythic and immediate, Lambs of Men explores the cost of duty and sacrifice and the ultimate desire for lasting redemption. Praise for LAMBS OF MEN "Charles Dodd White has written this rich novel of the mountains as though he's been saving every word of it for a lifetime. A book full of beauty and blood and bone, a story that carries the reader through time, through lives, through dirt and fire." -Crystal Wilkinson, author of THE BIRDS OF OPULENCE "An elegant structure for a grim psalm." -Rob Neufeld, Asheville Citizen-Times

Book Synopsis Fighting the Forever War by : Lisa M. Mundey
Download or read book Fighting the Forever War written by Lisa M. Mundey and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During two decades of fighting in Afghanistan, U.S. service members confronted numerous challenges in their mission to secure the country from the threat of al-Qaeda and the Taliban and assist in rebuilding efforts. Because the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan occurred simultaneously, much of the American public conflated them or failed to notice the Afghanistan War; and most of the war's archival material remains classified and closed to civilian researchers. Drawing on interviews and letters home, this book relates the Afghanistan War through the experiences of American troops, with firsthand accounts of both combat and humanitarian operations, the environment, living conditions and interactions with the locals.
Book Synopsis The Men Who Stare at Goats by : Jon Ronson
Download or read book The Men Who Stare at Goats written by Jon Ronson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now a major film, starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, and Jeff Bridges, this New York Times bestseller is a disturbing and often hilarious look at the U.S. military's long flirtation with the paranormal—and the psy-op soldiers that are still fighting the battle. Bizarre military history: In 1979, a crack commando unit was established by the most gifted minds within the U.S. Army. Defying all known laws of physics and accepted military practice, they believed that a soldier could adopt the cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls, and—perhaps most chillingly—kill goats just by staring at them. They were the First Earth Battalion, entrusted with defending America from all known adversaries. And they really weren’t joking. What’s more, they’re back—and they’re fighting the War on Terror. An uproarious exploration of American military paranoia: With investigations ranging from the mysterious “Goat Lab,” to Uri Geller’s covert psychic work with the CIA, to the increasingly bizarre role played by a succession of U.S. presidents, this might just be the funniest, most unsettling book you will ever read—if only because it is all true and is still happening today.
