Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Firing Line: Stories of the War by Land and Sea These letters compensate largely for the ampler, more expert accounts the war correspondent is not allowed to send us. They may tell little of strategic movements or of the full tide and progress of an engagement till you read them in conjunction with the official reports, but in their Vivid, spontaneous revelations of what the man in battle has seen and felt, in the intensity of their human interest they have a unique value beyond anything to be found in more professional military or journalistic documents. They so unconsciously express the personality and spirit of their writers; the very homeliness of their language adds wonderfully and unintentionally to their effectiveness there is rarely any note of boastfulness even in a moment of triumph they record the most splendid heroisms casually.

Book Synopsis War by Land, Sea, and Air by : David Jablonsky
Download or read book War by Land, Sea, and Air written by David Jablonsky and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-23 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book a retired U.S. Army colonel and military historian takes a fresh look at Dwight D. Eisenhower’s lasting military legacy, in light of his evolving approach to the concept of unified command. Examining Eisenhower’s career from his West Point years to the passage of the 1958 Defense Reorganization Act, David Jablonsky explores Eisenhower’s efforts to implement a unified command in the U.S. military—a concept that eventually led to the current organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and that, almost three decades after Eisenhower’s presidency, played a major role in defense reorganization under the Goldwater-Nichols Act. In the new century, Eisenhower’s approach continues to animate reform discussion at the highest level of government in terms of the interagency process.

When we look at military history, we find that it contains a rich store of precedents which show most clearly what should be done and what should be avoided to attain success in war. Napoleon inculcated the study of history, and rightly so, for it is on the wealth Of precedents, the experience Of the past, that the education of all officers should be based.

Book Synopsis The Victory at Sea (Classic Reprint) by : William Sowden Sims
Download or read book The Victory at Sea (Classic Reprint) written by William Sowden Sims and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Victory at Sea This is not in any sense a history of the operations of our naval forces in Europe during the Great War, much less a history of the naval operations as a whole. That would require not only many volumes, but prolonged and careful research by competent historians. When such a work is completed, our people will realize for the first time the admirable initiative with which the gallant personnel of our navy responded to the requirements of an unprecedented naval situation. But in the meantime this story has been written in response to a demand for some account of the very generally misunderstood submarine campaign and, particularly, of the means by which it was defeated. The interest of the public in such a story is due to the fact that during the war the sea forces were compelled to take all possible precautions to keep the enemy from learning anything about the various devices and means used to oppose or destroy the underwater craft. This necessity for the utmost secrecy was owing to the peculiar nature of the sea warfare. When the armies first made use of airplane bombs, or poison gas, or tanks, or mobile railroad batteries, the existence of these weapons and the manner of their use were necessarily at once revealed to the enemy, and the press was permitted to publish full accounts of them and, to a certain extent, of their effect and the means used to oppose them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The League of Peace and a Free Sea Having determined the conception of the Freedom of the Seas as a question which only arises in time of war because such freedom already exists undisputed in times of peace, and having broadly defined it as a question of reducing belligerent rights over neutral commerce to the lowest degree compatible with the admission of naval warfare, we have to inquire what the expression connotes in practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Land Fights His book is intended to be a companion I volume to Mr. John Richard Hale's popular account of the evolution of naval warfare (famous Sea Fzg/zk, from Salamz's to Tsu Methuen 69° Co., It is an attempt to trace in the same way the development of land fighting from the days of early tribal warfare to the great conflicts of Nations in Arms in our own time. The evolution of weapons and tactics is described in bold outline, typical battles being dealt with in fuller detail in each of the great periods of history. I am quite aware that some of my conclusions as to various points are still matters of debate among experts. To give one instance, I am familiar with Professor Delbruck's theory, according to which the armies engaged in many famous battles of antiquity and of the early medieval period were mustered in much smaller force than that assigned to them by the usually accepted tradition of history. It will be seen that I adopt this view only to a very partial extent. But in a popular work of this kind one cannot discuss rival theories and state at length the arguments for and against them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Country in War and Relations With All Nations: A History of War Times, and American Heroes on Land and Sea ON the front of the palace at Versailles, is in golden letters the famous inscription, To All the Glories of France, and the splendor of the sentiment has pre served from the ruthless hands of revolution, and from defacement by enemies in temporary triumph, the marbles of the magnificent edifice and the proud letters of gold. The memories of nations have many forms of expression, and it is not those distinguished by pomp that seem to have been the most certainly preserved and to possess the greater assurance of perpetuity. In the mounds of the ancient cities on the Euphrates, in the hills of desolation that mark the sites of mighty capitals, are found cylinders of burnt clay on which are the records of the dynasties that have otherwise perished, of peoples among whose memorials no tower stands to tell the tale of the race, no arch abides to speak of the vanished ages or locate in the abyss beyond the era of history, the Empires that are lost. It is the cylinder of clay that has the quality of immortality. Still more in the printed leaves of our time Will be found the pages that minister to the pride of people, and on Which are inscribed the lessons of the rise and fall of nations that Shall enshrine the lives of great men and apply the excellence of good deeds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Defenders of Land, Sea and Sky American Defenders of Land, Sea Sky presents a wide range of military activities from the American Revolution to the Cold War era following World War II. It includes those activities that were enthusiastically supported by the American public as well as some that were not. Each chapter begins with a brief history of the period to provide a political and social background for our military involvements. The book makes clear that the values we, as a nation, have pledged to uphold and, if necessary, fight for, are those principles established by the Founding Fathers in our Constitution. In this trip through American history, you'll visit forts and battle sites in the North, South, East and West; climb aboard old ships and a modern submarine; experience the excitement of early avia tion; hear the roar of pioneering space vehicles; note the special places where peace treaties were signed; and view monuments that serve to honor the many people who have been lost to war over time. The majority of the buildings, structures, and sites in the book are National Historic Landmarks, our country's most significant historic places as designated by the Secretary of the Interior. Many of these Landmarks are owned by the Department of Defense - the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and also the Coast Guard during times of war. Several are famous National Parks that most people have heard of and many others have visited! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis England's Battles by Sea and Land a Complete Record (Classic Reprint) by :
Download or read book England's Battles by Sea and Land a Complete Record (Classic Reprint) written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England's Battles by Sea and Land a Complete Record It may be said with satisfaction that the achievements of the English army and navy are the glory of English history. Its chapters are full of battle pictures brilliantly illustrating the making of the Empire, and there is scarcely a page without some luminous narrative of soldierly daring, or of heroic gallantly in naval warfare. So rich indeed are the annals of the nation with passages descriptive of valour on sea and land, that as sources of fascinating interest, yielding every variety and type of heroism, they are incomparable. Nor have the changes in times and moods, the greater perplexities of the social struggle, or the keener appreciation of peace, diminished or slackened tho interest excited by, or taken in, these glowing annuls. The prestige of the services is not less now than it has ever been an object of national solicitude. Perhaps the national pride is manifested now with fewer demonstrations - with a more subdued or decorous enthusiasm, but none the less is the nation's concern in the welfare, and pride in the renown, of tho soldiers and sailors of England, deep and abiding. This is shown in the vigilant anxiety of tho public to learn the truth in regard to the condition and equipment of the army and navy. Something more than a suspicion had grown that neither in the one respect nor the other, were the services efficient. It was feared that the exigencies of party were involving sacrifices in the defensive arms, and though perhaps this was not strictly true, there could be no doubt that there was some truth in it. And what tended still further to increase public anxiety were the differences - if not absolute contradictions - between the language and disclosures of experts, and the explanatory statements of ministers. It was contended on the one baud that the fleet was a paper navy - unfit to go into action; and on the other, that it was more than a match for the combined navies of three Continental Powers. The army, it was said by pessimists, was losing its best officers, and was being recruited with difficulty; that the material was too raw and the training too short; that the weapons were had, and that the equipment was shoddy; in a word, that the British army was unfit to take the field. The optimists went to the other extreme. They found the army, if not perfect, at anyrate fit to go anywhere; well officered, admirably equipped, and efficient in everything.

Book Synopsis The World War for Liberty, Vol. 1 of 3 by : Francis William Rolt-Wheeler
Download or read book The World War for Liberty, Vol. 1 of 3 written by Francis William Rolt-Wheeler and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World War for Liberty, Vol. 1 of 3: A Comprehensive and Authentic History of the War by Land, Sea and Air In presenting "The World War for Liberty" to the public, the Publishers desire to state that it is an invaluable contribution to the permanent and abiding literature of the war. It is more. It is the Story of the War as a whole, written with an insight into the conflicting issues which makes it as remarkable as its clear and easy style makes it readable. The Editors are peculiarly fitted for their task. Dr. Francis Rolt-Wheeler has been writing books in co-operation with the American and European governments for many years, he has lived in France, in Russia and in the Balkans, he knows European capitals and politics at first hand. He has contributed widely to the literature of the war and possesses the confidence of military, naval and diplomatic authorities. Mr. Frederick E.Drinker is an American of the purest stock, a keen student of Americanism and a well-known writer. He has published widely on American phases of the war-his book on the Lusitania is a classic-and he possesses a wide outlook on the future of the United States. Many years must elapse before the conditions brought about by the world war can subside. For many years to come the issues dealt with in this book must necessarily be points in dispute. The world upheaval has been too great for its settlement to have final immediacy. New republics must be put on trial. New frontiers must beget new passions. Liberty is a plant of slow growth among peoples unaccustomed to it. "The World War for Liberty" will do more than explain what has been, it will help to guide Americans to an understanding of the issues which still remain, and which, in one form or another, will trouble the world for many years to come.
