Peter F. Stevens

4.9/5 (28808 ratings)

Description:"The Twilight Riders" is the first book to chronicle the full drama of the 26th Cavalry's magnificent but doomed mounted campaign against some of the finest troops, air power, and tanks of the Japanese Army--a long-neglected episode of World War II that marked the end of the grand tradition of the U.S. horseback cavalry. It was shortly after Pearl Harbor, and the Japanese invasion of the Philippines was underway. Among the Philippines' defenders was a group of Filipino noncommissioned officers and enlisted men, led by white American officers. They were from a different era--trained to fight on horseback as had the Cavalry in the Civil War. They battled fiercely against their Japanese foes but, in the end, were forced to slaughter their mounts and to finish the hopeless fight on foot. Through extensive research based in part on in-depth interviews with 26th Cavalry veterans, author Peter F. Stevens brings this band of brothers and their beloved horses to life as they rode, fought, and bled together in the desperate, doomed struggle to stem the Imperial Japanese Army.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
