In 1862 looking for an opportunity to attack Union general John Pope Confederate general Robert E Lee ordered Maj Gen James Longstreet to conduct a reconnaissance and possible assault on the Chinn Ridge front in Northern Virginia At the time Longstreet launched his attack only a handful of Union troops stood between Robert E Lee and Gen John Popes Army of Virginia Northern Virginias rolling terrain and Bull Run also provided Lee with a unique opportunity seldom seen during the entire Civil Warthat of bagging an army an elusive feat keenly desired by political leaders of both sides Second Manassas Longstreets Attack and the Struggle for Chinn Ridge details the story of Longstreet and his mens efforts to obtain the ultimate victory that Lee desperately sought At the same time this account tells of the Union soldiers who despite poor leadership and lack of support from Pope and his senior officers bravely battled Longstreet and saved their army from destruction along the banks of Bull Run Longstreets men were able to push the Union forces back but only after they had purchased enough time for the Union army to retreat in good order Although Lee did not achieve a decisive victory his success at Chinn Ridge allowed him to carry the war north of the Potomac River thus setting the stage for his Maryland Campaign Within three weeks the armies would meet again along the banks of Antietam Creek in western Maryland Uncovering new sources Scott Patchan gives a vivid picture of the battleground and a fresh perspective that sharpens the detail and removes the guesswork found in previous works dealing with the climactic clash at Second Manassas

Discover information, advice, and prices for Western Digital Battle Tactics of, priced at 39.9 $ : it belongs to the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by Western Digital.
Historians have portrayed British participation in World War I as a series of tragic debacles with lines of men mown down by machine guns with untried new military technology and incompetent generals who threw their troops into improvised and unsuccessful attacks In this book a renowned military historian studies the evolution of British infantry tactics during the war and challenges this interpretation showing that while the British armys plans and technologies failed persistently during the improvised first half of the war the army gradually improved its technique technology and eventually its selfassurance By the time of its successful sustained offensive in the fall of 1918 says Paddy Griffith the British army was demonstrating a battlefield skill and mobility that would rarely be surpassed even during World War IIEvaluating the great gap that exists between theory and practice between textbook and bulletswept mudfield Griffith argues that many battles were carefully planned to exploit advanced tactics and to avoid casualties but that breakthrough was simply impossible under the conditions of the time According to Griffith the British were already masters of storm troop tactics by the end of 1916 and in several important respects were further ahead than the Germans would be even in 1918 In fields such as the timing and orchestration of allarms assaults predicted artillery fire Commandostyle trench raiding the use of light machine guns or the barrage fire of heavy machine guns the British led the world Although British generals were not military geniuses says Griffith they should at least be credited for effectively inventing much of the twentiethcenturys art of war

This is a detailed analysis of American foreign policy towards Korea from the time of Japans attack on Pearl Harbor to the Truman decision to dispatch combat troops to Korea Basing his research on declassified government documents the author shows how US policy in Korea evolved from indifference to qualified commitment to military intervention arguing that these changes both reflected and played a crucial role in the broader shift of American foreign policy from isolationism to internationalism The Reluctant Crusade also places US policy towards Korea in the larger context of SovietAmerican relations and focuses on US involvement in postwar Korea as a test case of George F Kennans containment strategy The United States sought to build a reconstructed Korean nation that would reflect the American model of development and consistently provided it with economic aid technical advice and limited military assistance Matray argues that the Truman administration believed that North Korea would eventually recognize the superiority of South Koreas political and economic system and seek reunification under South Korean rule When North Korea attacked South Korea the Soviet challenge wasnt perceived to be military and aggressive rather than political and economic as Truman and his advisors had initially thought Truman saw a restrained approach as inadequate he altered his tactics and committed American combat forces to ensure the survival of South Korea His decision marked the beginning of a reluctant American crusade to preserve peace and stability through military means excerpt from books dustjacket
