Our men, our women, great and common - soldiers, statesmen, lovers, wives, and children - wintering, hungering, boldly achieving in the bravest moment of our country's history. Valley Forge - by MacKinklay Kantor - the Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author of Andersonville brings you a masterpiece of America's greatest struggle! MacKinlay Kantor (February 4, 1904 – October 11, 1977), born Benjamin McKinlay Kantor, was an American journalist, novelist and screenwriter. He wrote more than 30 novels, several set during the American Civil War, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1956 for his 1955 novel, Andersonville. He also wrote the novel Gettysburg, set during the Civil War and Valley Forge, set in the American Revolution. From 1928 to 1934, Kantor wrote numerous stories for pulp fiction magazines, to earn a living and support his family; these works included crime stories and mysteries. During World War II, Kantor reported from London as a war correspondent for a Los Angeles newspaper. After flying with some bombing missions, he asked for and received training to operate the bomber's turret machine guns, although he was not in service and this violated regulations, During his assignment with the U.S. troops in World War II, Kantor entered the Buchenwald concentration camp as they liberated it on April 14, 1945. During the next decade, that experience informed his research for and writing of Andersonville. Kantor's last novel was Valley Forge (1975). More

This is Greenwood Press's Contributions in American History, Number 65. Drawing on little-used manuscripts and other primary records Kennett tells the whole story of the vital French expedition that helped win the Revolution. This book is an attempt to resurrect a brief, vital presence in our nation's history--that of the 12,000 men of the French army and navy who came in July 1780 to participate in the War of Independence. They came without great fanfare, and they campaigned in the role of subordinates; the last of them departed unobtrusively three years later. Lee Kennett is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Georgia and the author of The French Forces in America, 1780-1783, Marching Through Georgia: The Story of Soldiers and Civilians During Sherman's Campaign and G.I.: The American Soldier in World War II. Jacques Léon Godechot (3 January 1907 – 24 August 1989) was a French historian of the French revolution, and a pioneer of Atlantic history. His emphasis on the international dimension of the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth-century revolutions was crystallized in the concepts of Atlantic history. More

This study of the American fighting man provides graphic accounts of all the major and minor conflicts in American history. From the victory over the British at New Orleans in 1814, to the air battles over North Vietnam, the book provides close ups of the man in the line of battle. Part One provides graphic accounts of all the major and many of the minor conflicts in American history, with close-ups of the man in the line of battle--from the victory over the British at New Orleans in 1814, the American Civil War, the grueling battles with the Indians, to World War I and World War II. Part Two studies the psychology of the American fighting man, and points out the strange contrasts and contradictions in his mental and emotional make-up; his simplicity and cunning; his psychiatric problems; his sense of "martial' honor; his appetite for sex; his crime and racketeering; and his cowardice and heroism. Finally, the system that produces the American soldier today is closely examined--his role as the instrument of the "great defender" all over the world and the attitudes of the commanding generals.
