New York: W. Morrow, 1987. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. 25 cm. 305, [5] pages. Glossary. Erasure residue on fep. Tom Carhart, Ph.D., graduated from West Point in 1966 and subsequently served as an infantry platoon leader with the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam and as an Advisor to the South Vietnamese forces. He was awarded two Purple Hearts for wounds suffered in combat. After teaching French at West Point, he left the Army and earned a law degree from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He subsequently served as editor of “European Taxation,” a journal published by The International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Upon returning to the United States, Tom studied economics at the Rand Graduate School while working for the Rand Corporation in Santa Monica, CA. He then returned to Europe as an international corporate lawyer at the Archibald law firm in Brussels representing multinational corporations before the European Economic Community. In later years, Tom again worked for the Army as a civilian policy analyst and historian. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Carhart was fighting in Vietnam tin 1967 and like many servicemen felt it was a duty to risk his life for his country. He discovered not only the horrors of jungle warfare but also the dangers of being given orders by superiors unfamiliar with a situation on the battlefield. He was briefly in Saigon, then was an adviser in the Mekong Delta, where he went on what he terms "search-and-avoid'' missions, allegedly to find Vietcong but actually designed not to encounter the enemy. Carhart's produces a rounded picture of the futility of the struggle. More

Highlighting and ink notations to several pages Includes illustrations of the Battle of Marathon; the Battle of Issus; The Battle of Zama-Naraggara; the Battle between Caesar and Ariovistus; Siege of Alesia; and Siege of IIerda.

Book I: The Persian Wars, Book II The Greeks at Their Height, Book III: The Madedonians; Book IV: Ancient Rome; Book V: The Second Punic War; Book VI: The Romans as World Conquerors; and Book VII: Caesar. Hans Delbruck's four-volume History of the Art of War is recognized throughout the world as the definitive work on the subject. Appearing in an English-language paperback edition for the first time, volume 1 analyzes in vivid detail the military tactics and strategies used by the great warriors of antiquity. Delbruck disputes some points in classical history, and separated fact from legend in his objective reconstruction of celebrated battles stretching from the Persian Wars to the Peloponnesian War, Alexander's campaign to conquests in Asia, the Second Punic War and Hannibal's crossing of the Alps, and the triumph of the Roman legions and Julius Caesar. Walter J. Renfroe, Jr. based his much-praised English translation on the third (1920) edition of volume 1. More

This book is the culmination of four preliminary checklists produced since 1947 in approximately the same manner. It represents an expansion in time coverage and an improvement in format that will simplify the task of locating material on a specific unit. In so far as possible, the Office of the Chief of Military History has provided assistance on certain problems. The demand in Special Services libraries world wide for unit history material by military personnel of all ranks has been continual. As a result, The Adjutant General's Office, particularly its Library and Service Club Branch, Special Services Division, has been the motivating force behind the publication of this bibliography. The scope of this list includes unit histories from the end of the Civil War to the Korean conflict. Air Force and Navy histories are omitted. National Guard and militia histories are not included unless the history concerns a period when the unit was Federalized. More

Preface by Frank H. Simonds. Introduction by Ernest Judet. Some wear to top and bottom edges of spine and boards. This is part of the publisher's Military Classics series. Previous owner's decorative bookplate on fep. This translation is based on the Eighth French edition. This book was originally published in English in 1920. This classic work explains the disasters of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, and helps to predict the successes of World War I. Ardant du Picq was a colonel in the French Army who was killed in 1870 in the Franco-Prussian War. The work was not completed by him, but Du Picq had written many chapters completely and left sufficient notes behind to complete the book. The theme of the book, according to Marshal Foch, is that "moral force" is the most powerful element in the strength of armies and the preponderating influence in the outcome of battles. Du Picq's work attempts to deal with the principles of warfare as an empirical study, based on case studies of battles. Battle Studies became a key textbook in the French Army's École de Guerre in the years leading to World War I. More
