This book was released on 2011-07-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 1864, Abraham Lincoln penned what is known as the “Bixby Letter” offering his condolences to the mother of five soldiers who had fallen in the service of their country. A shocking sacrifice for the cause for any one family to make, although it transpired not all of the sons were in fact dead. Some years earlier the last surviving member of his generation of the Fernyhough family, from Staffordshire in England, wrote the stories of his brothers and himself. Robert Fernyhough’s brothers, John and Henry in the Royal Marines and Thomas in the infantry, had fallen in the service of their country during the Napoleonic Wars. Robert himself saw much action as a Royal Marine before eventually fighting in the 95th Rifles in the Peninsular under Wellington, including heavy engagement at the battle of Busaco. The fighting record of the Fernyhough family that is recorded in this work is truly astonishing; Expeditions to Walcheren, Buenos Ayres, Walcheren, the coast of Spain, Savoy, Toulon, Malta, Gibraltar not to mention hard soldiering in the Peninsular make for an excellent Read. Author – Robert Fernyhough (1785-1866)
Book Synopsis The Last German Victory by : Aaron Bates
Download or read book The Last German Victory written by Aaron Bates and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operation Market Garden – the Allied airborne invasion of German-occupied Holland in September 1944 – is one of the most famous and controversial Allied failures of the Second World War. Many books have been written on the subject seeking to explain the defeat. Historians have generally focused on the mistakes made by senior commanders as they organized the operation. The choice of landing zones has been criticized, as has the structure of the airlift plan. But little attention has been paid to the influence that combat doctrine and training had upon the relative performance of the forces involved. And it is this aspect that Aaron Bates emphasizes in this perceptive, closely argued and absorbing re-evaluation of the battle. As he describes each phase of the fighting he shows how German training, which gave their units a high degree of independence of action, better equipped them to cope with the confusion created by the surprise Allied attack. In contrast, the British forces were hampered by their rigid and centralized approach which made it more difficult for them to adapt to the chaotic situation. Aaron Bates’s thought-provoking study sheds fresh light on the course of the fighting around Arnhem and should lead to a deeper understanding of one of the most remarkable episodes in the final stage of the Second World War in western Europe.

Book Synopsis A Hard Local War by : William Sheehan
Download or read book A Hard Local War written by William Sheehan and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following years of discontent over Home Rule and the Easter Rising, the deaths of two Royal Irish Constabulary policemen in Soloheadbeg at the hands of the IRA in 1919 signalled the outbreak of war in Ireland. The Irish War of Independence raged until a truce between the British Army and the IRA in 1921, historical consensus being that the conflict ended in military stalemate. In A Hard Local War, William Sheeham sets out to prove that no such stalemate existed, and that both sides were continually innovative and adaptive. Using new research and previously unpublished archive material, he traces the experience of the British rank and file, their opinion of their opponents, the special forces created to fight in the Irish countryside, RAF involvement and the evolution of IRA reliance on IEDs and terrorism.

Download or read book Frontier Asssault written by James Green and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1919, as the world recovered from the First World War, Afghanistan invaded British India. A daring move, the invasion took the British and Indian governments by surprise. To repel the Afghans, they launched a massive land and air campaign, mobilising a third of a million troops. Despite facing this military might, the Afghans, aided by the North-West Frontier tribes, almost won the war. Frontier Assault tells the story of the Third Anglo-Afghan War through the eyes of the men who fought it. The North Staffordshire Regiment was one of the first units dispatched to halt the Afghan advance. They defeated the enemy vanguard in a tenacious mountain assault in the Khyber Pass. After, they led the British counter-attack into Afghanistan. Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the war, Frontier Assault is illustrated with over 50 original photographs and maps. Extensive appendices include a history of the North Staffordshire Regiment, a timeline of the war, orders of battle, honours and awards, and casualty lists. One of only very few books about this forgotten war, this contemporary account of the Third Anglo-Afghan War is immensely readable. Authored by a military officer it draws on extensive new research and insights. Essential reading for anyone with an interest in the Anglo-Afghan War or the North-West Frontier. Highly recommended for others with an interest in the First World War or general military history.
