Commanding Boston's Irish Ninth: The Civil War Letters of Colonel Patrick R. Guiney Ninth Massachusetts ...5 reviews
Christian Samito
Fordham University Press, 1997
I loved this book!
I don't normally read historical books, especialy ones about little known Civil War generals, but this one came highly recommended by a friend so I gave it a shot. I was won over immediately! As it turned out, the life of Patrick Guiney was remarkable and compelling. His letters to his wife were eloquent and heartwarming, and his courage in the face of what must have been a very painful injury ...

C. S. S. Shenandoah: The Memoirs of Lieutenant Commanding James I. Waddell (Bluejacket Books)1 review
James I. Waddell
US Naval Institute Press, 1996
No place in History
The accomplishments of James Iredell Waddell and the C.S.S. Shenandoah read like a movie script. It is amazing that this piece of history has been buried so long. James Horan brings it to life. He reveals that this was not an accidental sortie but a well planned venture breadboarded in the Confederate Naval Headquarters and played out step by step to its conclusion. It is interesting to ...

In his newest book, A Commanding Presence: Wellington in the Peninsula 1808-1814, the author again includes detail sadly missing from most Peninsular War histories, such as the important contribution by the King's German Legion.

Redcap (Unabridged)1 review
Brian Callison
audible.com
Salty Language and gripping story
The joy of Brian Callison books, is the feeling you get of reading about real characters and real reactions, with real language. This book is no exception.
The story is in two parts, revolving around Staff Sergeant Walker (a redcap, which is a military policeman) and his encounters with the unhinged Major Steadman - the Amazon synopsis sums it up well.
It is the writing which sets Callison ...

The University of North Carolina Press, 2006
Review of John M. Schofield & the Politics of Generalship
This is truly a wonderful book. I have always maintained an interest in civil military relations, but until I read this book, I never truly understood the importance of this topic. I am currently a student in a Graduate degree program, and I can't express how often this book touches on our day to day studies. In fact, I can pull something from this book on almost any topic. In fact, I think ...

Commanding the Red Army's Sherman Tanks: The World War II Memoirs of Hero of the Soviet Union Dmitriy Loza5 reviews
Dmitriy Loza
University of Nebraska Press, 1996
Another view of WWII combat
Colonel Loza commanded a unit of M4 Sherman tanks in the Red Army against the Nazis on the Eastern Front in WWII. Much maligned in most accounts, the "emcha", as the Russians called it, served very well for their purposes. The USSR received thousands of Shermans from the US as part of FDR's plan to support the Russian war effort. As told by Colonel Loza, the Sherman had a number of advantages ...

Idries Shah
Octagon Press, Limited, 1994
An Uncommon Approach to "Self Help"
Idries Shah's book, `The Commanding Self' stands out in sharp contrast to the "Me Generation" popular fads of the last two decades. It is written from a very different standpoint than that underlying the numerous books, seminars, videos, support groups, subliminal tapes and so forth that promise (though always at a price) an easy road to "self-help" and "self-development." The message in "The ...
