USS Olympia: Herald of Empire
ISBN: 9781591141266 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The USS Olympia is the oldest extant steel-hulled warship in the world. Constructed as part of a congressionally mandated program to build a modern fleet prior to the turn of the 19th century, she became famous as Adm. George Dewey's flagship at the Battle of Manila Bay. Today she is part of a naval shrine at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia.
This is a flesh-and-steel history of a pivotal warship that straddled the eras of commerce raiding and battle fleet confrontation in naval warfare. From her conceptual beginnings on drawing boards in Washington to the battle to protect her... The USS Olympia is the oldest extant steel-hulled warship in the world.

Fort Donelson's Legacy: War and Society in Kentucky and Tennessee, 1862-1863
ISBN: 9781572336278 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Fort Donelsons Legacy portrays the tapestry of war and society in the upper southern heartland of Tennessee and Kentucky after the key Union victories at Forts Henry and Donelson in February 1862. Those victories, notes Benjamin Franklin Cooling, could have delivered the decisive blow to the Confederacy in the West and ended the war in that theater. Instead, what followed was terrible devastation and bloodshed that embroiled soldier and civilian alike. Cooling compellingly describes a struggle that was marked not only by the movement of armies and the strategies of generals but also by the...

The Day Lincoln Was Almost Shot: The Fort Stevens Story
ISBN: 9780810886223 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Day Lincoln Was Almost Shot: The Fort Stevens Story recounts the story of President Abraham Lincoln's role in the Battle of Fort Stevens in July 1864. This engagement stands apart in American history as the only time a sitting American president came under enemy fire while in office. In this new study of this overlooked moment in American history, Cooling poses a troubling question: What if Lincoln had been shot and killed during this short battle, nine months prior to his death by John Wilkes Booth's hand in Ford's Theater? A potential pivotal moment in the Civil War, the Battle of Fort...

ISBN: 9780810867598 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the American Civil War, Washington, D.C. was the most heavily fortified city in North America. To protect Washington with all it contained and symbolized, the Army constructed a shield of fortifications: 68 enclosed earthen forts, 93 supplemental batteries, miles of military roads, and support structures for commissary, quartermaster, engineer, and civilian labor force, some of which still exist today. Revised in style, format, and content, the new edition of Mr. Lincoln's Forts is the premier historical reference and tour guide to the Civil War defenses of Washington, D.C.

Jubal Early: Robert E. Lee's Bad Old Man
ISBN: 9780810889132 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Jubal Early: Robert E. Lee's Bad Old Man, a new critical biography of Confederate Lieutenant General Jubal Anderson Early, Civil War historian B.F. Cooling III takes a fresh look at one of the most fascinating, idiosyncratic characters in the pantheon of Confederate heroes and villains. Dubbed by Robert E. Lee as his "bad old man" because of his demeanor, Early was also Lee's chosen instrument to attack and capture Washington as well as defend the Shenandoah Valley granary in the summer and fall of 1864. Neither cornered nor snared by Union opponents, Early came closest of any Confederate...

To the Battles of Franklin and Nashville and Beyond: Stabilization and Reconstruction in Tennessee and Kentucky, 1864-1866
ISBN: 9781572337510 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 526 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Benjamin Franklin Cooling has produced a triumphant third volume to his definitive study of Tennessee and Kentucky in the Civil War. Like his first two volumes, this one perfectly integrates the home front and battlefield, demonstrating that civilians were continually embroiled in the war in intense ways comparable to and often surpassing the violence experienced by soldiers on the battlefield. The impacts of armies, guerrillas, and other military forces on civilians was continual, terrifying, and brutal in nearly all parts of the Confederacy s Heartland. T. Michael Parrish, Linden G....

ISBN: 9780870499494 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cooling is well able to do what is sometimes termed 'the new military history.' Broad in context and often interdisciplinary, it is vastly more sophisticated, useful, and informative than what I suppose must be now rightly called 'the old military history' done in prior decades. -- Herman Hattaway, coauthor of How the North Won and Why the South Lost the Civil WarFort Donelson's Legacy portrays the tapestry of war and society in the upper southern heartland of Tennessee and Kentucky after the key Union victories at Forts Henry and Donelson in February 1862.

Counter-Thrust: From the Peninsula to the Antietam
ISBN: 9780803271722 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the summer of 1862, a Confederate resurgence threatened to turn the tide of the Civil War. When the Union s earlier multitheater thrust into the South proved to be a strategic overreach, the Confederacy saw its chance to reverse the loss of the Upper South through counteroffensives from the Chesapeake to the Mississippi. Benjamin Franklin Cooling tells this story in Counter-Thrust, recounting in riveting detail Robert E. Lee s flouting of his antagonist George B. McClellan s drive to capture the Confederate capital at Richmond and describing the Confederate hero s...

Case Studies in the Achievement of Air Superiority
ISBN: 9781478199045 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 700 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. To military aviators, "air superiority" is an unquestioned prerequisite for effective aerial operations. Stripped to its barest essentials, it has a deceptively simple definition. As the authoritative Department of Defense Diction of Military and Associated Terms declares: air superiority is "that degree of dominance in the air battle of one force over another which permits the conduct of operations by the former and its related land, sea, and air forces at a given time and place without prohibitive interference by the opposing force." These are case studies in the achievement of air...

Jubal Early's Raid on Washington 1864
ISBN: 9780817354756 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cooling has produced what is sure to become the definitive scholarly account of the campaign. Drawing on a vast array of sources, including seldom-used veterans accounts, Cooling presents a comprehensive campaign study from origins to aftermath. Not only does Cooling masterfully describe the specific movements of the opposing forces, but he also never loses sight of the wider context in which the campaign was fought. In fact, Cooling s greatest contribution may be his clear demonstration that Grant was fooled by Early s operations and took an uncommonly long time to react to a very serious...
