Superior photos, maps, casualty list, military symbols, weapons glossary, and the roster of the 7th US Cavalry Association. Sources. This is the story of an ordeal sustained by the flesh and blood of United Nations soldiers, American Soldiers, Republic of Korea soldiers, and the innocent and defenseless refugees. , Edward Lee Daily was 17 when he met an Army recruiting sergeant with "medals plastered all over his chest," Mr. Daily wrote in a short memoir. Mr. Daily picked the cavalry. Mr. Daily wrote about becoming an expert marksman with the Seventh Cavalry Regiment. Military records show, Mr. Daily joined the Seventh Cavalry in 1951. Mr. Daily began focusing on Korea after a 1986 reunion of cavalry veterans. "If you guys will get me stories, I'll put them together and we'll put them in a book," Mr. Daily told attendees, Mr. Down said. At this and other reunions, the best stories emerged in the bar, and Mr. Daily had a knack for injecting himself into the conversation, veterans said. Mr. Daily was, without question, a linchpin in efforts to preserve and honor the memory of the Seventh Cavalry and served as its president in the early 1990's. In 1993, he attended a ceremony in South Dakota with members of the Lakota Sioux tribe to help make amends for the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee by the Cavalry. More
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1963. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. [12], 180 pages. Index. DJ has some wear, soiling,chips and tears. Award-winning Roving Editor John G. Hubbell was one of the most prolific authors in the history of history's most widely read magazine, The Reader's Digest. One of his greatest achievements was an objectively detailed investigation of the Kennedy Administration's behavior during the Cuban Missile Crisis. James Daniel was a reporter of long-standing, who had worked on the national staff of Scripps-Howard and then joined Time/ He was a Neiman Fellow at Harvard and served with the Office of War Information during WWII. He then became a Roving Editor with the Reader's Digest. Strike in the West is a brilliant reconstruction of one of the central events of the Cold War era. Every account of the Cuban crisis before this had been limited by time urgency and government secrecy. Here for the first time is an account that links all the significant events of the Cuban crisis: the intricacies of Soviet deception, the unwillingness of Washington to recognize the threat for what it really was, and, finally,the largely untold story of the massive American military response after the President made his fateful decision.

William Francis Deedes, Baron Deedes, KBE, MC, PC (1 June 1913 – 17 August 2007) was a British Conservative politician, army officer and journalist. He was the first person in Britain to have been both a member of the Cabinet and the editor of a major daily newspaper, The Daily Telegraph. Deedes fought with the British Army in the Second World War as an Officer in the 2nd Battalion, Queen's Westminsters, one of the Territorial Army (TA) units of the King's Royal Rifle Corps. He gained the Military Cross near Hengelo, the Netherlands in April 1945. He was also the only officer to serve in 12th King's Royal Rifle Corps (2nd Queen's Westminsters) for the duration of the war. Deedes came from a family with a tradition of public service. He was very proud of the fact that there had been a Deedes member of parliament in every century since 1600. Deedes was elected as the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Ashford in 1950. First serving as a junior minister under Winston Churchill for three years, he later entered Harold Macmillan's Cabinet in 1962 as Minister without Portfolio. He left the Cabinet in 1964, as Minister of Information. He was editor of The Daily Telegraph from 1974 to 1986 and, after he was replaced by Max Hastings, continued his career as a journalist. He continued to comment on social and political issues through his newspaper columns until his death. More

St. Paul, MN: Midwest Booksellers for Social Responsibility, 1991. Reprint of content that originally appears in the January 7th-14th , 1991 issue of The Nation. Single sheet, printed on both sides. Format is approximately 11 inches by 8.5 inches, folded once so that there are 4 panels/pages. Rare surviving Gulf War related ephemera. The text of the Open Letter is on the first three panels. Publication information is on the last panel. This letter originally appeared as "War and Power: An Open Letter to the President" ((c) 1991) in the January 7th - 14, 1991 issue of The Nation. It has been reprinted by Midwest Booksellers for Social Responsibility as a particularly considered contribution to the national discussion on the crisis in the Persian Gulf. E. L. Doctorow and The Nation Magazine/The Nation Co., Inc. gave permission to reprint this. The open letter, while lauding that the United Nations voted sanctions against Iraq, and supporting the sending of troops to guard Saudi Arabia's borders and provide the military means of interdiction, on the sea and in the air, to punish Iraq by economic strangulation, was not supportive of military operations against Iraq. Doctorow suggests at the end of his Open Letter, that U.S. sanctions and embargo themselves constitute a military action. It is called a siege. The siege is the most cost-effective of all military strategies. Without endangering one's own forces, it brings slow but inevitable doom to the enemy. Doctorow believed that "All we have to do is stand here silently, in our armor, and watch it happen." This was not the course ultimately followed by President Bush and the coalition of the willing. The Gulf War was an armed campaign waged by a United States-led coalition of 35 nations against Iraq in response to the Iraqi invasion and annexation of Kuwait. More

Garden City: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1962. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. [18], 603, [3] pages. Illustrated endpapers. Some spine weakness noted between pages 4 and 5 and restrengthened with glue. This is a sequel to the Pulitizer Prize-winning Advise and Consent. Allen Stuart Drury (September 2, 1918 – September 2, 1998) was an American novelist. During World War II, he was a reporter in the Senate, closely observing Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, among others. He would convert these experiences into his first novel Advise and Consent, for which he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1960. Long afterwards, it was still being praised as ‘the definitive Washington tale’. His diaries from this period were published as A Senate Journal 1943–45. From 1943 to 1945, Drury worked as the United States Senate correspondent for United Press. He worked as a reporter, but also kept a journal in which he recorded the events of Congress as well as his impressions and views of individual senators and the Senate itself. He followed Advise and Consent with several sequels. A Shade of Difference (1962) is set a year after Advise and Consent, and uses the United Nations as a backdrop for portraying racial tensions in the American South and in Africa. Drury then turned his attention to the next presidential election after those events with Capable of Honor (1966) and Preserve and Protect (1968). Preserve and Protect had a cliffhanger ending—an assassination in which the victim is not identified. More
