Download or read book A Savage War written by Williamson Murray and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the Civil War changed the face of war The Civil War represented a momentous change in the character of war. It combined the projection of military might across a continent on a scale never before seen with an unprecedented mass mobilization of peoples. Yet despite the revolutionizing aspects of the Civil War, its leaders faced the same uncertainties and vagaries of chance that have vexed combatants since the days of Thucydides and the Peloponnesian War. A Savage War sheds critical new light on this defining chapter in military history. In a masterful narrative that propels readers from the first shots fired at Fort Sumter to the surrender of Robert E. Lee's army at Appomattox, Williamson Murray and Wayne Wei-siang Hsieh bring every aspect of the battlefield vividly to life. They show how this new way of waging war was made possible by the powerful historical forces unleashed by the Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution, yet how the war was far from being simply a story of the triumph of superior machines. Despite the Union’s material superiority, a Union victory remained in doubt for most of the war. Murray and Hsieh paint indelible portraits of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, and other major figures whose leadership, judgment, and personal character played such decisive roles in the fate of a nation. They also examine how the Army of the Potomac, the Army of Northern Virginia, and the other major armies developed entirely different cultures that influenced the war’s outcome. A military history of breathtaking sweep and scope, A Savage War reveals how the Civil War ushered in the age of modern warfare.

When I walk into the ER for my first shift, the nurses all want me. I don't need my stethoscope to hear their hearts pounding. Except Kylie. She’s actually focused on her job. Not my military background, or tattoos. No, she’s actually all about patient care. Well, let me care for you sweetheart. But she thinks I’m full of myself, annoying at best. She couldn’t be more wrong. Fact: I know what I'm doing in the ER. I can also fulfill her wildest fantasies. That's not ego. That's the truth. However, when Kylie gets hurt I find myself swallowing all my pride. She needs me, and I’m just what the doctor ordered. Hopeless Hero I've got my finger on her trigger. People say I’m dangerous. Ex-Savage Soldier with a bad attitude. But everything changes when I see Alicia Joppa, the one that got away. All I want is to get my torpedo in her target, but the way she’s looking at me? Ain’t gonna happen. Things weren’t easy for her while I was away and she’s always been good at hiding secrets. What she doesn’t realize is I know how to torture her for information. With my lips, my hands, my missile… She doesn’t stand a chance. However, the bomb she just dropped could ruin us both. She had my baby while I was overseas. She may have won the battle, but I will win the war... Of her heart. Fearless Hero A one night stand turns into so much more. When someone tries to kill the potential VP, I know I have to protect his daughter too. It's my job to keep her safe. But her curves call my name. Her beautiful eyes distract me. And those lips? They know all my secrets. All I want is to let down my guard and lock her away in my bed. But it’s not safe. How can I protect her when I’m falling for her? Lawless Hero I saved her life. I thought that being deployed would be the worst thing to ever happen to me. I was wrong. When Rose walks into our camp, everything changes. She needs a protector, and I'll break all the rules to keep her safe. Those lips, that body, her sassy attitude? She's everything I've ever dreamed of. But when we return to the States, rumors and lies from the base come home with us too. Savages are supposed to stick with their brothers. But I'm choosing her. Forever. Reckless Hero I was the cocky, arrogant, playboy type. But that was before. Before the war. Before my father died and my life changed. Now people count of me to do the right thing. But Anna doesn’t count on me. Not after I left her four years ago. She treats me like the enemy, can’t say I blame her. My new mission? Get under Anna’s skirt, and maybe into her heart. I’ll ask her to be my study partner for Law school. Get back into her good graces. We’ll be up all night long. I don’t know if we'll get an A, but I’ll definitely give her an O. Anna is hiding something though, which might make us both fail. While I was overseas, she was raising her son. And I don't have to be a lawyer to look at the evidence. He's mine. Ruthless Hero I have one job. Don't fall for the client. Too late. The minute I lay eyes on Scarlett, my professionalism flies out the window. She's sassy with just a touch of sweet. With curves in all the right places. Usually it's not hard for me to do the job. Keep the client safe. But Scarlett likes to test my limits. All of them.

Book Synopsis Standing Soldiers, Kneeling Slaves by : Kirk Savage
Download or read book Standing Soldiers, Kneeling Slaves written by Kirk Savage and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of U.S. Civil War monuments that shows how they distort history and perpetuate white supremacy The United States began as a slave society, holding millions of Africans and their descendants in bondage, and remained so until a civil war took the lives of a half million soldiers, some once slaves themselves. Standing Soldiers, Kneeling Slaves explores how the history of slavery and its violent end was told in public spaces—specifically in the sculptural monuments that came to dominate streets, parks, and town squares in nineteenth-century America. Looking at monuments built and unbuilt, Kirk Savage shows how the greatest era of monument building in American history took place amid struggles over race, gender, and collective memory. Standing Soldiers, Kneeling Slaves probes a host of fascinating questions and remains the only sustained investigation of post-Civil War monument building as a process of national and racial definition. Featuring a new preface by the author that reflects on recent events surrounding the meaning of these monuments, and new photography and illustrations throughout, this new and expanded edition reveals how monuments exposed the myth of a "united" people, and have only become more controversial with the passage of time.

Book Synopsis One Soldier's War by : Arkady Babchenko
Download or read book One Soldier's War written by Arkady Babchenko and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2009-02-17 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A visceral and unflinching memoir of a young Russian soldier’s experience in the Chechen wars. In 1995, Arkady Babchenko was an eighteen-year-old law student in Moscow when he was drafted into the Russian army and sent to Chechnya. It was the beginning of a torturous journey from naïve conscript to hardened soldier that took Babchenko from the front lines of the first Chechen War in 1995 to the second in 1999. He fought in major cities and tiny hamlets, from the bombed-out streets of Grozny to anonymous mountain villages. Babchenko takes the raw and mundane realities of war the constant cold, hunger, exhaustion, filth, and terror and twists it into compelling, haunting, and eerily elegant prose. Acclaimed by reviewers around the world, this is a devastating first-person account of war that brilliantly captures the fear, drudgery, chaos, and brutality of modern combat. An excerpt of One Soldier’s War was hailed by Tibor Fisher in The Guardian as “right up there with Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and Michael Herr’s Dispatches.” Mark Bowden, bestselling author of Black Hawk Down, hailed it as “hypnotic and terrifying” and the book won Russia’s inaugural Debut Prize, which recognizes authors who write despite, not because of, their life circumstances. “If you haven’t yet learned that war is hell, this memoir by a young Russian recruit in his country’s battle with the breakaway republic of Chechnya, should easily convince you.” —Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly sharp and honest treatment of a brutal conflict.The Algerian War (1954-1962) was a savage colonial war, killing an estimated one million Muslim Algerians and expelling the same number of European settlers from their homes. It was to cause the fall of six French prime minsters and the collapse of the Fourth Repbulic.

Book excerpt: "Anyone who wants to understand why America has permanently entered a new era in international relations must read [this book] . . . Vividly written and thoroughly researched." -- Los Angeles Times America's "small wars," "imperial war," or, as the Pentagon now terms them, "low-intensity conflicts," have played an essential but little-appreciated role in its growth as a world power. Beginning with Jefferson's expedition against the Barbary pirates, Max Boot tells the exciting stories of our sometimes minor but often bloody landings in Samoa, the Philippines, China, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Mexico, Russia, and elsewhere. Along the way he sketches colorful portraits of little-known military heroes such as Stephen Decatur, "Fighting Fred" Funston, and Smedly Butler. This revised and updated edition of Boot's compellingly readable history of the forgotten wars that helped promote America's rise in the lst two centuries includes a wealth of new material, including a chapter on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a new afterword on the lessons of the post-9/11 world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To his troops, Savige was known simply as 'Old Stan', and he developed a reputation as a commander who had an exceptionally strong rapport with those who served under him. However, his relations with his military contemporaries were frequently acrimonious. His detractors charged that he lacked the technical knowledge for higher command, had been promoted beyond his ability and was overly reliant on his subordinates. It is their view that has largely influenced contemporary history. This book examines Lieutenant General Savige's command performance during the Second World War. It is story that considers some of the critical issues faced by the Australian Army during this time"--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis The Savage Wars Of Peace by : Charles Allen
Download or read book The Savage Wars Of Peace written by Charles Allen and published by Abacus. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Second World War the British Army has been engaged in armed conflicts around the globe in every year except 1968. Some have been full-scale military campaigns, but most have been undeclared wars, fought out in such widely differing theatres as Malaya, Kenya, Cyprus, Brunei, Borneo, Aden, Oman and Northern Ireland. The Savage Wars of Peace is the fighting soldiers' view of these campaigns, recounted in their own words to oral historian Charles Allen, chronicler of such classics as Plain Tales from the Raj and Tales from the South China Seas. Drawing on the spoken recollections of over seventy military figures of all ranks, Charles Allen has assembled a rich kaleidoscope of images of warfare as experienced by those at the sharp end. Letting the soldiers speak for themselves, with extraordinary and sometimes very moving candour, these unique first-hand accounts give a rare insight into Britain's modern 'peacetime' army - the changes it has undergone since 1945, and the bonds that unite fighting men.
Download or read book Savage Continent written by Keith Lowe and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second World War might have officially ended in May 1945, but in reality it rumbled on for another ten years... The end of the Second World War in Europe is one of the twentieth century's most iconic moments. It is fondly remembered as a time when cheering crowds filled the streets, danced, drank and made love until the small hours. These images of victory and celebration are so strong in our minds that the period of anarchy and civil war that followed has been forgotten. Across Europe, landscapes had been ravaged, entire cities razed and more than thirty million people had been killed in the war. The institutions that we now take for granted - such as the police, the media, transport, local and national government - were either entirely absent or hopelessly compromised. Crime rates were soaring, economies collapsing, and the European population was hovering on the brink of starvation. In Savage Continent, Keith Lowe describes a continent still racked by violence, where large sections of the population had yet to accept that the war was over. Individuals, communities and sometimes whole nations sought vengeance for the wrongs that had been done to them during the war. Germans and collaborators everywhere were rounded up, tormented and summarily executed. Concentration camps were reopened and filled with new victims who were tortured and starved. Violent anti-Semitism was reborn, sparking murders and new pogroms across Europe. Massacres were an integral part of the chaos and in some places – particularly Greece, Yugoslavia and Poland, as well as parts of Italy and France – they led to brutal civil wars. In some of the greatest acts of ethnic cleansing the world has ever seen, tens of millions were expelled from their ancestral homelands, often with the implicit blessing of the Allied authorities. Savage Continent is the story of post WWII Europe, in all its ugly detail, from the end of the war right up until the establishment of an uneasy stability across Europe towards the end of the 1940s. Based principally on primary sources from a dozen countries, Savage Continent is a frightening and thrilling chronicle of a world gone mad, the standard history of post WWII Europe for years to come.
