The regiment’s career commenced with an ignominious defeat in its initial engagement on the South Carolina coast at Port Royal Sound in 1861. This demoralizing event could have set the regiment on a trajectory of self-fulfilling failure and catastrophe.

On November 29, 1943, as the Allies’ primary leaders met in Tehran, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt described to Soviet leader Joseph Stalin his idea for the organization that would become the United Nations. The American president suggested that the active arm of the organization be “the Four Policemen”: the U.S., USSR, UK, and China. Stalin agreed with much of the framework in principle, but asserted that China likely would not possess the strength after the war to assist.

To save their daughter, they handed her over to strangers. Now he wants her back — but her heart has found a new home. Warsaw, 1942. With deportations looming and time running out, Aaron and Raizel make an impossible decision: to entrust their seven-year-old daughter, Machale, to a Catholic family. It is a desperate act of love — and perhaps her only chance to survive. But after Raizel perishes in the ghetto and Aaron is deported to a death camp, all contact is lost. And when the payments cease and danger escalates, her protectors quietly let the river take her. Magda — a devout, ...

In the jungles of Vietnam, a secret war raged in silence. No uniforms. No front lines. Just names on a list—and orders to make them disappear. Shadow Warriors exposes the dark truths behind Operation Phoenix, the CIA-backed program that targeted the Viet Cong political infrastructure through assassination, psychological warfare, and covert intelligence operations. What began as a counterinsurgency initiative soon became a machine of fear—eliminating thousands, many without trial or evidence.

The United States in the mid-1800s boiled with conflict and promise. The bloody Civil War raged. A ruminating President sat in the White House. William Gould Raymond (“W.G.”) was as complicated as the times. His life a mosaic of faith, addiction, health setbacks, his sprawling family, service as a Union Army officer, and then as a Lincoln-appointed hospital chaplain. W.G.’s place in history, though, stands as the initial commanding officer responsible for raising what would become the 1st United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.) of the District of Columbia.

Casey J. Culler tells the story of his service in the United States Army in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, and at bases in the continental United States such as Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Fort Benning, Georgia, and his life near Mount Airy, North Carolina, the town made famous as Mayberry in The Andy Griffith Show (1960-1968).

He joined the Army in the summer of 2001, and his world, like so many others, was sent in another direction after 9/11. Casey spent the first two ...

During Operation Market Garden the two bridges at Nijmegen weren't captured on the first day and as a result the Allies were forced to launch a bloody river crossing. This should not have happened and this report examines what should have taken place and why. This is the fourth story in the book, `Boats at Arnhem and Other Stories' and the paperback version has maps and photos.

World War II was more than just a clash of armies—it was a battle of ideologies, economies, and strategies on a global scale. It was the deadliest conflict in human history, involving more than 30 countries and resulting in the deaths of an estimated 70 to 85 million people, including both military personnel and civilians. For a time, it seemed as though Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, might succeed in reshaping the world according to its vision. Germany’s early victories stunned observers and instilled fear across Europe.

The revolutions that raged across Europe and the Americas over seven decades, from 1760 to 1825, created the modern world. Revolutionaries shattered empires, toppled social hierarchies, and birthed a world of republics. But old injustices lingered on and the powerful engines of revolutionary change created new and insidious forms of inequality. In The Age of Revolutions, historian Nathan Perl-Rosenthal offers the first narrative history of this entire era.

The German Army lost two consecutive wars and the conclusion is often drawn that it simply wasn't able to cope with its opponents. This image is constantly reinforced in literature and in the media, where seemingly brainless operating German units led by fanatical officers predominate. Nothing was as far from the truth. The records show that the Germans consistently outfought the far more numerous Allied armies that eventually defeated them: their relative battlefield performance was at least 1.5 and in most cases three times as high as that of its opponents.

From March 1965-December 1972 the United States carried out the longest sustained naval aerial bombardment campaign in the history of modern warfare. By the time the conflict formally ended in January 1973 nearly 600 Navy aviators had lost their lives in Southeast Asia. Many of those men remain missing, with their ultimate fates unlikely to ever be known. Every cat shot, every mission, and every recovery aboard the carrier was a roll of the dice on whether they would live, die, or be taken prisoner and brutally tortured or murdered. Even as losses mounted and public support for the conflict...

This book explores the philosophy of the Confederate Constitution by comparing and contrasting it with the United States Constitution. Some of the differences between the two documents are subtle and others are stark, but the major differences, center on state powers and slavery.

Understanding the philosophy of the Confederate Constitution will allow the reader to ...

Normally transport squadrons aren't in the front line, but during Operation Market Garden No. 437 Squadron RCAF found themselves over Arnhem delivering supplies to the British 1st Airborne Division. This is their story.

This work is a snapshot of one of the engineer units that took part in Operation Market Garden, the 35,000 man airborne assault into The Netherlands to capture a series of bridges that would lead around the West Wall and into the heart of Germany. If all had gone well, Montgomery’s 21st Army Group probably would have beaten the Russians to Berlin and ended the war before Christmas 1944. This epic battle has been told many times from an overall view and has been the subject of many debates as to why the operation failed. This will not be repeated here. Instead, I offer a worm’s eye view ...
