The Trail Drive War


Book Description




The Blood Road


Book Description

Prados considers each of the multiple perspectives that shaped the conflict: the struggle of the Vietnamese soldiers in the jungles, the heroism of American troops, the highly influential antiwar protests of the period, the intricate machinations of the generals and diplomats, and the lingering impact on the people and governments of neighboring Laos and Cambodia.




Henry Knox and the Revolutionary War Trail in Western Massachusetts


Book Description

During the winter of 1776, in one of the most amazing logistical feats of the Revolutionary War, Henry Knox and his teamsters transported cannons from Fort Ticonderoga through the sparsely populated Berkshires to Boston to help drive British forces from the city. This history documents Knox's precise route--dubbed the Henry Knox Trail--and chronicles the evolution of an ordinary Indian path into a fur corridor, a settlement trail, and eventually a war road. By recounting the growth of this important but under appreciated thoroughfare, this study offers critical insight into a vital Revolutionary supply route.




Battle at the Overland Trail


Book Description

In the Pacific Theater of the Second World War, Guadalcanal was of pivotal importance for both Japan and the United States. Of major importance was access and control of Henderson Airfield. The first three major land engagements were: Battle at Tenaru River (August 21) -- Bloody Ridge and Overland Trail (September 12-16) and Matanikau River (October 1942) all engaged to protect this airstrip. If the Japanese had control of this airfield, they could cut off supplies between America and its allies in the area, preventing other islands from coming under U.S. control. A single line of Marines prevented the Japanese from seizing the prized territory lead by Lt. Bill Sager and 2nd Lt. Herman Abady. Battle at the Overland Trail documents this one night of critical combat which would come to be known as the Island of Death. It includes many letters, diary excerpts and photos never before released to the public.

The Goodnight Trail


Book Description

Former Texas Rangers Benton McCaleb, Will Elliot, and Brazos Gifford ride with Charles Goodnight as he rounds up thousands of ornery, unbranded cattle for the long drive to Colorado. From the Trinity River brakes to Denver, they'll battle endless miles of flooded rivers, parched desert, and whiskey-crazed Comanches. And come face-to-face with Judge Roy Bean and legendary gunslingers like Clay Allison. For McCaleb and his hard-riding crew, the drive is a fierce struggle against the perils of an untamed land. A fight to the finish where the brave reach glory—or die hard.




Future War


Book Description

Will tomorrow's wars be dominated by autonomous drones, land robots and warriors wired into a cybernetic network which can read their thoughts? Will war be fought with greater or lesser humanity? Will it be played out in cyberspace and further afield in Low Earth Orbit? Or will it be fought more intensely still in the sprawling cities of the developing world, the grim black holes of social exclusion on our increasingly unequal planet? Will the Great Powers reinvent conflict between themselves or is war destined to become much 'smaller' both in terms of its actors and the beliefs for which they will be willing to kill? In this illuminating new book Christopher Coker takes us on an incredible journey into the future of warfare. Focusing on contemporary trends that are changing the nature and dynamics of armed conflict, he shows how conflict will continue to evolve in ways that are unlikely to render our century any less bloody than the last. With insights from philosophy, cutting-edge scientific research and popular culture, Future War is a compelling and thought-provoking meditation on the shape of war to come.
