Book Synopsis The United States in World War I by : James T. Controvich
Download or read book The United States in World War I written by James T. Controvich. This book was released on 2023-05-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the centennial of the First World War rapidly approaching, historian and bibliographer James T. Controvich offers in The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference bibliography yet published. Organized by subject, this bibliography includes the full range of sources: vintage publications of the time, books, pamphlets, periodical titles, theses, dissertations, and archival sources held by federal and state organizations, as well as those in public and private hands, including historical societies and museums. As Controvich’s bibliographic accounting makes clear, there were many facets of World War I that remain virtually unknown to this day. Throughout, Controvich’s bibliography tracks the primary sources that tell each of these stories—and many others besides—during this tense period in American history. Each entry lists the author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and page count as well as descriptive information concerning illustrations, plates, ports, maps, diagrams, and plans. The armed forces section carries additional information on rosters, awards, citations, and killed and wounded in action lists. The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide is an ideal research tool for students and scholars of World War I and American history.

Book Synopsis Blood, Guts, and Grease by : Jon Mikolashek
Download or read book Blood, Guts, and Grease written by Jon Mikolashek. This book was released on 2019. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Prior to World War I, George S. Patton was a lowly Lieutenant known more for his wealth than military ability. When the United Stated entered World War I, Patton joined General John J. Pershing's American Expeditionary Force (AEF) on the Western Front, where he was given the chance to prove his abilities. A driven and intrepid solider, Patton soon learned how to organize, command, and lead men in battle as the first tank commander in the US Army, and before long, his name became associated with armored warfare. Although the tank was a crude armored behemoth in 1918 with only a mixed record in battle, Patton personally oversaw the logistics of their first combat use by US forces and commanded the Light Tank Brigade during the Battle of Saint Mihiel, the attack into Pannes, and the Meuse Argonne Offensive. His successes during World War I laid the groundwork for not only his own personal future triumphs but also for the success of the entire US Army armored forces in World War II. In Blood, Guts, Grease and Oil: George S. Patton in World War I, Jon B. Mikolashek explores, for the first time, George S. Patton's World War I career and the role it played in his learning the art of command, how to lead large units of soldiers, and more importantly, how he would react to enemy fire. This work considers every aspect of Patton's trajectory from his relationship with Pershing to the selection of tanks for combat, from the creation of the Tank Corps and the Light Tank School to Patton's eventual successes and injuries in battle. Blood, Guts, Grease and Oil will reveal how the experience Patton gained in World War I was seminal in his development as a leader and laid the foundation for many of the attributes and characteristics he would later exhibit during World War II"--
