A chronological examination of U.S. involvement in wars from Revolutionary times through the post-Cold War conflicts (including Iraq). Essays have been gleaned from nine other Salem resources and new material has been added. The set is arranged chronologically and each section covering a specific conflict begins with ready reference information listing combatants and noting what was at stake, the location, the major figures involved, and the outcome. Each segment ends with a time line and a list for further reading. In between is a collection of clear and concise articles (39 essays in all for World War II alone) on specific battles, weapons, womens roles, and censorship during the conflict and concludes with a cumulative subject index as well as a name index, a complete time line of U.S. wars and battles, and brief biographies. Scattered throughout are average-quality, black-and-white captioned photos and reproductions; a number lack adequate contrast. There are also some small, simple maps. Information is easy to find, easy to read, and organized to help students make connections. Useful for reports as well as general interest.

The 94th US Infantry Division was an organization formed late in the Second World War, made up largely of draft-deferred university students as enlisted men and an officer corps pulled together from various domestic postings with unfortunate consequences for mutual trust and respect. Initially used as part of the force blockading the Brittany ports after D-Day, in December of 1944, the division was incorporated into General Patton’s Third Army south of the Moselle-Saar Triangle, the base of which was a portion of the Siegfried Line known as the Orscholz Switch. Its first combat experience came in battalion-sized attacks during that terrible winter while the Battle of the Bulge raged to the north, and the Division suffered heavy casualties, many due to the ferocity of the winter weather. Patton, with characteristic zeal, excoriated the division’s officers and senior NCOs for the rate of non-combat casualties. Thereafter, the division was ordered forward on an all-out assault to break through the Siegfried Line. After horrific fighting against entrenched defenders, with ice turning to mud as spring approached, on February 19, 1945, the 94th broke through to open the roads to Trier and the Rhine. This book is the most comprehensive study to date of the fierce fighting between the 94th U.S. Infantry Division and their German counterparts during that spring of 1945. It sheds new light on the achievements of the outnumbered division in penetrating Germany’s Westwall. With characteristic verve and detail, Tony Le Tissier narrates the action and illuminates the tribulations and sacrifices of American soldiers who won their laurels at great cost.

Gli “uomini con le ali” che presero la fortezza della Sogdiana per Alessandro Magno sono gli antenati dei nostri Alpini che, non molto lontano da lì, sono stati impiegati in Afghanistan. E gli Skiløper di Carlo XII, re di Svezia, sono i precursori degli “skiatori” con la penna nera che presero l’Adamello nel 1916. In questo numero ripercorriamo dunque la storia della guerra in montagna, esaminando gli uomini, le tattiche e l’equipaggiamento che nei secoli hanno caratterizzato questo particolare teatro bellico. Come scoprirono infatti a loro spese gli Alleati in Italia nel 1943, combattere in montagna richiede degli specialisti. Non per niente la 10th Mountain Division della US Army, oggi in Afghanistan, ebbe il suo battesimo del fuoco proprio sugli Appennini, dopo il massacro di Cassino.
