This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pulitzer prize has been the sought after goal of many thousands of writers ever since it was first awarded in 1917. In 1932, the Pulitzer in the history category was awarded to General John “Black Jack” Pershing for his two volume memoirs spanning his time in command of the American Forces in World War One. Given that Pershing should receive such an illustrious prize in the literary arena outside of his army career was a just testament to his multi-faceted and outstanding talents. As the First World War raged into its fourth year, the lifeblood of the Allied forces on the Western Front laid spilt on the fields of Northern France and Flanders. Their only hope in facing the German onslaught lay in the newly mobilized American forces, who had joined the struggle against the central powers in Germany and Austro-Hungary. It would take a commander of towering strength, firm loyalty, and iron determination to change the small American peacetime army into the millions strong wartime colossus it was to become. Such a man was John “Black Jack” Pershing. AS he took command, Pershing was faced with four almightily difficult challenges to overcome in order to achieve success; the first to turn the raw American Doughboys into an army, trained in the new tactics of the industrial carnage of the Western Front. Secondly, to ship enough men, and supplies across the U-boat infested Atlantic to create such an army. Thirdly, to keep his allies hands off American manpower that became trained and ready for battle, they should fight under American flags and American leaders. It was only once the first three huge challenges were overcome could he think about his fourth, how his new troops could fight and beat the battle-hardened German army: but fight and beat them they did! A Pulitzer Prize winning classic!

This book was released on 2013-03-02 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the memoirs from the American Expeditionary Force cover the fighting that raged in 1918: from the shellfire to the wounds, glorious exploits and so forth. What marks Captain Blankenhorn’s memoirs as so very different is the role that he served in during the War; he was an intelligence officer in charge of evaluating enemy propaganda and producing Allied propaganda for his own troops and those of the enemy. From posters to handbills, Blankenhorn’s efforts whilst lesser known are equally fascinating and meritorious. “...illustrations include some interesting samples of German and Allied propaganda. .” p. 214, Edward Lengel, World War I Memories, 2004, The Scarecrow Press, Lanham Maryland, Toronto, Oxford.

This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes over 30 maps and plans of the actions described in this volume. ‘The late Prince Kraft zu Hohenlohe Ingelfingen was not only known as one of Prussia’s ablest soldiers, but also as one of the best of German military authors. During the wars of 1866 and 1870 he commanded the Artillery of the Guard, and in the latter portion of the Franco-German struggle he directed the artillery operations against Paris. After the termination of the war he held several high positions of command. His best-known works are:— “On the Employment of Artillery in combination with the other Arms,” translated by the late Major Clarke. “Letters on Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery,” which have been ably rendered into English by Colonel Walford, Royal Artillery. “Conversations on Cavalry,” recently translated by Captain Maude, late Royal Engineers. The “Letters on Strategy,” which are contained in this volume, form an able treatise on this portion of the art of war. They are not to be taken up lightly, or to be dipped into here and there, but conscientiously studied they form a valuable means of instruction in strategical matters, and for this reason they are placed before the British military reader.’-Introduction
Book Synopsis At The Front In A Flivver [Illustrated Edition] by : William Yorke Stevenson
Download or read book At The Front In A Flivver [Illustrated Edition] written by William Yorke Stevenson and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many American citizens flocked to join the Allied war effort against Germany during the First World War before their mother country eventually declared war in 1917. William Yorke Stevenson was one of their number, volunteering for service with the French Ambulance corps or Section Sanitaire. Never war from the frontlines in rather ramshackle old vehicles [the flivver of the title is a slang term for a run-down truck], these men risked their lives to evacuate and treat the wounded. The Author recounts his experiences of 1915-1917 based on his dairy of the period. It provides a day-by-day account of the medical services behind the lines during some of the heaviest French fighting of the war during the battle of the Somme. Illustrated throughout with the Author’s own photos of the period, including his comrades, conditions and the battle damage of the towns and villages amongst which he worked and lived. Author — William Yorke Stevenson (1878 - 1922) Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in Boston and New York, Houghton Miflin, 1917. Original Page Count – 334 pages. Illustrations — 12 illustrations.
Book Synopsis A Volunteer Poilu [Illustrated Edition] by : Henry Beston Sheahan
Download or read book A Volunteer Poilu [Illustrated Edition] written by Henry Beston Sheahan and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrated with a number of photographs from the French Front Lines in and around Verdun. Also Includes The Americans in the First World War Illustration Pack - 57 photos/illustrations and 10 maps. Henry Beston Sheahan was a noted American novelist and naturist who wrote many well-known books, including the Cape Cod classic The Outermost House; he volunteered for service in the French Army during the First World War. In volunteer Poilu he recounts his experiences in the American Ambulance Service in the evacuating casualties in and around Verdun during 1916. In the midst of the bloodiest prolonged siege in the world at that time the number of wounded French soldiers were prodigious; the Ambulance services needed every able body even if they did come from the neutral United States. In spite of the huge workload that Sheahan undertook he managed to scribble notes of scenes and anecdotes of the great battle and the soldiers of the French Army. A rare and movingly written memoir from the Great Battle of Verdun.
Book Synopsis Billy Mitchell: Stormy Petrel Of The Air [Illustrated Edition] by : Roger G. Miller

This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes 25 illustrations A short but detailed biography of the prophet of American military Airpower – Billy Mitchell. On July 21, 1921, Brig. Gen. William “Billy” Mitchell circled high above the rough surface of the Chesapeake Bay, exultant witness to an event he had orchestrated and produced. Shortly after noon, the mortally wounded, former-German battleship Ostfriesland began to roll, turning completely over while air escaping from the huge hull gave sounds that some present interpreted as the sighs of a great beast dying. By one o’clock it was over, and Ostfriesland had slipped below the surface. It was not the sinking that was unique, however. Modern battleships had sunk before. They had been lost in storms and split their hulls on reefs and rocks. They had been hit by torpedoes, crushed by shell fire, and even sunk by mines and scuttling charges. But no battleship had ever gone to the bottom as the direct result of aerial bombs dropped from the fragile airplane, a new invention then barely eighteen years old. Disbelieving observers aboard the nearby U.S.S. Henderson were shocked, appalled, and dismayed as the Ostfriesland disappeared. Among the naval officers were some with tears in their eyes. But for the outspoken, flamboyant Billy Mitchell it was fulfillment and vindication. He had prophesied that aircraft could sink battleships; had fought for the trials that had just taken place; and had selected, organized, and trained the airmen who had accomplished their mission. Sinking the Ostfriesland was in many ways the summit of his military career, and Billy was not about to let anyone ignore his victory. Command pennant streaming from his aircraft, Mitchell paraded past the Henderson waving his wings, rubbing salt into a deep Navy wound.
Book Synopsis By Motor To The Firing Line: by : Walter Hale
Download or read book By Motor To The Firing Line: written by Walter Hale and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Illustrated with 47 paintings and photos] Walter Hale was a man of many talents - actor, writer, artist and war correspondent - before his life was cut short by cancer in 1917. It is fitting, however, that he was able to visit the front lines of the Western Front during the First World War, for the sights and stories that he recorded with pen, camera and paintbrush were well worth recording. That he was in the right time and place he put down to good luck; however, it seems only fair to record that he seems to have made his own luck on what would be a hard driven tour of the beleaguered front. As the author confirms in his introduction, his work is not a military history, but a portrait of the people, places, buildings and landscapes of Northern France and the effect of war on them.

Download or read book The First World War, 1914-1918; Personal Experiences Of Lieut.-Col. C. À Court Repington Vol. II [Illustrated Edition] written by Lieut.-Col. Charles à Court Repington C.M.G. and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes the First World War Illustrations Pack – 73 battle plans and diagrams and 198 photos A fascinating history of the First World War seen through the eyes of a highly respected and connected War Correspondent. Lieut.-Col. Charles à Court Repington was a career soldier in the British Army; renowned for his service in the Sudan, Burma and the Boer War, he was drummed out of the service for having an affair with the wife of British official in 1902. He was well known as an excellent staff officer and remained closely tied to the comrades that he had fought and served with including the future leaders of the British Army in the First World War. Cutting his teeth as a war correspondent during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, he was ideally placed as the War Correspondent of the Times when war broke out in 1914 to report on the unfolding tragedy. Using all of his connections and influence he visited the Western Front many times and was in intimate correspondence and contact with the senior figures of the British Army such as Sir John French, Sir Douglas Haig, Herbert Plumer and Horace Smith-Dorrien. No great respecter of private conversations or confidences he lost many friends when he wrote The First World War; his work was critical, well-written, caustic and unbiassed. These classic memoirs remain as valuable and vivid as they when they were written. This second volume covers the period from spring 1917 until the end of the war.

This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Includes 8 photograph illustrations] On the northern half of Times Square in the heart of New York is a square named after Father Francis Patrick Duffy, a priest whose faith in God was only matched by the attachment to his flock. He is mainly known for his legendary exploits as chaplain of the Fighting Sixty-Ninth regiment (renumbered the 165th in Federal Army List) in the First World War. The regiment, composed of mainly troops of Irish heritage, had historically been at the forefront of the Civil War fighting at Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. When the regiment marched to battle in the First World War, the troops were also mainly of an Irish Catholic background, headed by Father Duffy, who was never content to see the men of his charge go off to the front alone and frequently went into the maelstrom of battle as a stretcher bearer. Duffy and his regiment fought at Lunéville enduring a gas attack, before engaging at the Battle of the Ourcq and taking part in the two major American offensives at St. Mihiel and in the Argonne. Perhaps no finer compliment to him was paid by the regimental commander who stated that he and his actions were the key to the keeping unit’s morale high. A fine memoir by a towering figure in American First World War history. “Diary/memoir, June 1917—April 1919. Duffy was chaplain of the 165th Infantry, 42nd Division. An exciting account by the legendary chaplain, recounting his exploits in St. Mihiel, the Argonne, and elsewhere.”- p. 120, Edward Lengel, World War I Memories, 2004, The Scarecrow Press, Lanham Maryland, Toronto, Oxford.
