Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Army Sketch Book: An Artist's Story of the War Leaving our horses in care of some infantry posted in reserve in a piece of woods, we advanced slowly toward the line of breastworks in the extreme front. We took all possible cover by creeping though woods and behind fences until we reached the line of redoubts and breastworks facing the enemy's position. A non-combatant is strangely impressed at the quiet, nonchalant air of the men who hold important position on the line. If it were not for the sharp crack of skirmish fire in front one could almost imagine himself enjoying the delights of a summer camp, although the Napoleon and Parrot guns pointing through embrasures at intervals along the log-breast works had an air of significance, and the smoke-begrimed muzzles and mud-covered wheels and' carriages showed the severe service they had rendered. We found many of the men asleep along the line; some were playing cards, and others attending to camp duties, such as washing clothes, etc. All seemed free from any care about what might occur; that was somebody else's business.

Book excerpt: A Soldier's Sketches Under Fire by Harold Harvey On the outbreak of the war I joined the Royal Fusiliers, uninfluenced by the appeal of wall-posters or the blandishments of a recruiting sergeant. My former experience as a trooper in the Hertfordshire Yeomanry being accounted unto me for military righteousness, I sailed with my regiment from Southampton on September 3rd, 1914. We thought we were bound for France direct, and only discovered on the passage that we were to be landed, first, at Malta.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Camp Fire Stories: A Series of Sketches of the Union Army in the Southwest Somehow a story seems to tell what war meant, in all its phases, better than does a mere description; and what a man has seen and felt is better understood if the incidents of the seeing and feeling are graphically told by the one who did them both. So I have yielded as the boys have urged that I write these stories out as they have been told at Our Grand Army camp-fires; because, they said, we old soldiers would be soon dead, and the young folks who had grown up to take our places should. Have left them our legacy of experience-the fun and the pathos, the drama and the tragedy - that they might know what their fathers went through in saving this country dur ing its first internecine strife. Therefore I have written these camp-fire stories for the Old comrades in arms to the reviving of their memories, and for their sons and daughters to the let ting them see what war was. Five of the hospital stories were published a few years ago in the Golden Rule, the organ of the Y'. P. S. C. E, though even these are retold in this book; two Or three have been published in local papers; and at, least two of the jokes I gave to Harper's Drawer.

Book Synopsis Coming Out Under Fire by : Allan Bérubé
Download or read book Coming Out Under Fire written by Allan Bérubé and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II, as the United States called on its citizens to serve in unprecedented numbers, the presence of gay Americans in the armed forces increasingly conflicted with the expanding antihomosexual policies and procedures of the military. In Coming Out Under Fire, Allan Berube examines in depth and detail these social and political confrontation--not as a story of how the military victimized homosexuals, but as a story of how a dynamic power relationship developed between gay citizens and their government, transforming them both. Drawing on GIs' wartime letters, extensive interviews with gay veterans, and declassified military documents, Berube thoughtfully constructs a startling history of the two wars gay military men and women fough--one for America and another as homosexuals within the military. Berube's book, the inspiration for the 1995 Peabody Award-winning documentary film of the same name, has become a classic since it was published in 1990, just three years prior to the controversial "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which has continued to serve as an uneasy compromise between gays and the military. With a new foreword by historians John D'Emilio and Estelle B. Freedman, this book remains a valuable contribution to the history of World War II, as well as to the ongoing debate regarding the role of gays in the U.S. military.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Camp-Fire Sketches and Battle-Field Echoes of the Rebellion Other war books have preceded this, but they have been for the most part purely historical and statistical, or the experiences and observations of a single individual, thus portraying but a glimpse of the most gigantic, thrilling, and bloody drama of the nineteenth century. The actual facts and experience concerning such a colossal and terrific strife can in no way be so accurately and truthfully ascertained as by and through the unbiased testimony of the actors themselves. Neither time, pains, nor expense has been spared in gathering the material for this volume, and it comes fresh from the heart and pen of more than three hundred veteran soldiers of the rank and file, both North and South.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Illustrious Soldiers Who died As he had lived, his country's boast and pride - Statesman and warrior - who, with, patient toil, Scant and exhausted legions taught to foil Skill, valor, numbers; one who never sought A selfish glory on the fields he fought; Who spoke, felt, breathed but for his country's weal, Her power to 'stablish, and her wounds to heal - The dread of France, when France was most the dread of all. Anonymous. The reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, the latter certainly, one of the most interesting characters in Spanish history, was rendered forever famous by three eminent men - Cardinal Ximenes, the consummate statesman; Christopher Columbus, the most successful navigator of any age; and Gonsalvo of Cordova, surnamed the Great Captain, one of the seven chiefs whom Sir William Temple, in his Essay on Heroic Virtue, says, deserved without wearing a crown. Gonsalvo's splendid military successes, so gratifying to Spanish pride, have made his name no less renowned than that of the Cid.

This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Made in the Trenches, Composed Entirely From Articles Sketches Contributed by Soldiers: Edited by Sir Frederick Treves and George Goodchild The primary object of this book is to assist the funds of the "Star and Garter" Home for totally disabled soldiers and sailors. The present temporary building gives a Home to sixty-five soldiers and sailors, all of whom have been paralysed by being shot through the spine or brain with the exception of two seamen whose backs were broken when their ships were torpedoed. The Home is always full and many are waiting for admission. In the aftermath of this grievous war there is no more lamentable and pathetic figure than the soldier who, by reason of his wounds, is paralysed and left utterly helpless. One is apt to associate such helplessness with extreme old age or with the final phase of some exhausting illness; but here is a man in the very flower of his youth, bedridden possibly for life, unable to move hand or foot, and dependent, at every moment of the day, upon the ministration of others. In the paralysis of old age there is usually, coincident with the loss of power, a merciful decay of the brain, a loss of mind that merges into mere apathy and oblivion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Two Months Under Fire War is one of those things the British people for nearly half a century have refused to contemplate, and the mere fact that the seas encircled the British Isles was sufficient to lull our people into a dreamland in which we pretended that a world war was impossible. War is an exacting thing: it demands great effort, it imperils wealth, it threatens luxury, it interferes with the sports and pleasures of the people - in a word, the idea of war was unpopular, and because it was unpopular, those who seek the favour of the British people and guide them avoided all mention of the ugly thing. Preparation for war meant taxation, and how could any rising statesman, or still less any political party, advocate taxation when the fight for success in the political arena depended upon which section could promise most individual gain to the individual elector?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fagots From the Camp Fire Fagots from the Camp Fire is exceptional in its style and scope. Its graphic delineation of the coarsest phases of every-day life; its portrayal of most thrilling incidents within the experience of soldiers and people of the South; how they loved and hated, starved and died; and the tender pathos which marks many pages, although told in the rude language of the uneducated, yet bear that wondrous touch of nature which makes the whole world kin. While leaders of opposing armies may not acquiesce in all theories propounded in Fagots from the Camp Fire, the common people, and especially soldiers who participated in these campaigns, will agree that these extraordinary narratives are as nearly literally true as it is possible to make them, after the lapse of fifteen years.
