The Classic Military History of the Korean War
T.R. Fehrenbach's "This Kind of War" is the classic military history of the Korean War. Fehrenbach addresses the strategic and operational aspects of the conflict, but much of his focus is on the tactical experience of U.S. units. His book is a searing indictment of the U.S. military and of the United States for having failed to maintain combat-ready forces less than five years removed from the ...

A Masterful Piece of Work
Unsung and unrecognized, T.R. Fehrenbach is one of America's findest historians of the Southwest. Without a doubt, his book "Comanches: The History of a People," is a masterful piece of work. Wonderfully written and reseached, I learned more about the American Plains Indians'culture in the first three chapters, than I have from any other book. Since I have taught American history for the last ...

Mexico is more than tacos and tequila
I knew very little about the real history of Mexico, or the country that became Mexico. If you want to know the origins of the problems and promise that is modern Mexico, then this is the book to read. It is, at its heart, a scholarly work with a lot of information and good references. The author is sympathetic toward the people of Mexico, but also lets the reader know about their weaknesses ...
