In the Shadows of Victory II: America's Forgotten Military Leaders, The Spanish-American War to World War II

Thomas D. Phillips

4.9/5 (9972 ratings)

Description:During the course of America's existence, history has enshrined an exceptional few military leaders in the public's collective consciousness while sometimes ignoring others often equally as deserving, relegating them to footnotes at best. Though the nation owes them considerable debts, the military history of the United States is replete with examples of leaders whose singular leadership is now little remembered or forgotten completely. This book is about those who have been overlooked; military leaders whose accomplishments have been too little acknowledged and too seldom celebrated.This volume covers leaders "in the shadows" during the four major conflicts the United States engaged in from the end of the 19th century to the middle years of the 20th: the Spanish-American War, the Philippine Insurrection, World War I, and World War II. This book tells the stories of more than 20 individuals and chronicles their activities through conflagrations spanning five decades. To enable readers to put these exploits into proper context, each chapter traces the roots of the conflict covered and discusses the paths that led to America's involvement.Throughout the book, examples are also noted of leaders whose major renown is associated with a specific war--John J. Pershing, America's towering military figure during World War I, for example--who also rendered exemplary though largely forgotten service during a different conflict (in Pershing's case, the Philippine Insurrection). Of special interest to many audiences may be the commentaries regarding the World War I services of officers such as Eisenhower, Marshall, Patton, and Bradley--an aspect of their long military careers overshadowed by their World War II renown and too often minimized in consequence.The book also features brief biographies of officers whose contributions, while perhaps a bit less consequential than those of colleagues chronicled elsewhere in these pages, are deserving of far more recognition than has thus far been accorded them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
