The Reports of General MacArthur include two volumes being published by the Department of the Army in four books reproduced exactly as they were printed by General MacArthur's Tokyo headquarters in 1950, except for the addition of this foreword and indexes. Since they were Government property, the general turned over to the Department in 1953 these volumes and related source materials. In Army and National Archives custody these materials have been available for research although they have not been easily accessible. While he lived, General MacArthur was unwilling to approve the reproduction and dissemination of the Reports, because he believed they needed further editing and correction of some inaccuracies. His passing permits publication but not the correction he deemed desirable. In publishing them, the Department of the Army must therefore disclaim any responsibility for their accuracy. But the Army also recognizes that these volumes have substantial and enduring value, and it believes the American people are entitled to have them made widely available through government publication.Volume I narrates the operations of forces under General MacArthur's command from the Japanese attack on Luzon in 1941 through the surrender in 1945. |

Язык: немецкий A collection of popular and favorite poems, stories and letters that aired on the radio in Nazi Germany to entertain the Wehrmacht. Many of the poems and stories were told by famous actors of the time. Illustrated with b/w photographs of Hans Moser, Heinrich George, Hans Söhnker, Grethe Weiser, Willy Fritsch, Heinz Rühmann, Paul Hörbiger & others as well as in-text drawings in blue and color. Introduction by Ministerialdirigent Alfred-Ingemar Berndt. Als ich Herrn Goedecke eines Tages sagte: „Lieber Goedecke, warum fassen Sie nicht das umfangreiche Material iiber die Wunschkonzerte, die vielen Briefe, die Sie bekommen, die schonen Verse von Wilhelm Krug, einmal zu einem Buch zusammen? Sie wurden damit Hunderttausenden eine Freude machen." Als ich also fragte, da wies Goedecke in seiner schon vom Mikrofon bekannten so sprichwortlichen Beschei-denheit diesen Gedanken weit von sich. Man werde ihn fur groBenwahnsirmig halten, wenn er das tue. Inzwischen hat er sich mit dem Gedanken (nicht: groBenwahnsinnig zu werden, sondern das Buch zu schreiben) befreundet, und so wurde und entstand dieses Buch. |

This gripping journal of a company commander from 2003 to early 2004 in some of the most dangerous areas of post-Hussein Iraq discusses tactics, techniques, and procedures as they evolved in the struggle to maintain order and rebuild the country. The journal tells of the dichotomy of combat operations versus nation building. It vividly captures the stresses of combat and corresponding emotions as they accumulate over time in a combat outfit. It reinforces the ideal of camaraderie among soldiers and deals with the emotional impact of losing friends in battle. Understanding these could prove invaluable to those who courageously serve our nation and will continue to endure them in this and future conflicts. |

United States Army in World War II. To many an Allied soldier and officer and to countless armchair strategists, World War II in Europe appeared near an end when in late summer of 1944 Allied armies raced across northern France, Belgium, and Luxembourg to the very gates of Germany. That this was not, in fact, the case was a painful lesson that the months of September, October, November, and December would make clear with stark emphasis. The story of the sweep from Normandy to the German frontier has been told in the already published Breakout and Pursuit. The present volume relates the experiences of the First and Ninth U.S. Armies, the First Allied Airborne Army, and those American units which fought under British and Canadian command, on the northern flank of the battle front that stretched across the face of Europe from the Netherlands to the Mediterranean. The operations of the Third U.S. Army in the center, from mid-September through mid-December, have been recounted in The Lorraine Campaign; those of the Seventh U.S. Army on the south will be told in The Riviera to the Rhine, a volume in preparation. Unlike the grand sweep of the pursuit, the breaching of the West Wall called for the most grueling kind of fighting. Huge armies waged the campaign described in this book, but the individual soldier, pitting his courage and stamina against harsh elements as well as a stubborn enemy, emerges as the moving spirit of these armies. In the agony of the Huertgen Forest, the frustration of MARKET-GARDEN the savagery of the struggle for Aachen, the valor of the American soldier and his gallant comrades proved the indispensable ingredient of eventual victory. |

The many histories dealing with the United States Air Force have most often dealt with aerial campaigns, strategy, tactics, and air battles won or lost. More precisely, the central position has been occupied by the airplane, the dominant symbol of all air forces and the probably most visually arresting weapon of war of this century. When it came to people, the other half of the Air Force equation, famous generals and the exploits of popular heros have been written about, but examinations of the forces that shaped the rank-and-file have been largely overlooked. Even military sociology, a relatively new discipline dedicated to understanding military services worldwide, has dealt overwhelmingly with the Army experience... |

Mexican War was the U.S. Army's first experience waging an extended conflict in a foreign land. This brief war is often overlooked by casual students of history since it occurred so close to the American Civil War and is overshadowed by the latter's sheer size and scope. Yet, the Mexican War was instrumental in shaping the geographical boundaries of the United States. At the conclusion of this conflict, the U.S. had added some one million square miles of territory. The Mexican War still has much to teach us about projecting force, conducting operations in hostile territory with a small force that is dwarfed by the local population, urban combat, the difficulties of occupation, and the courage and perseverance of individual soldiers. |
