Custer Victorious: The Civil War Battles of General George Armstrong Custer
ISBN: 9780803295568 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Custer found himself in the one dilemma all soldiers most dread-he was outnumbered and completely surrounded. With disaster looming in every quarter and no chance of escape. . . ." So Gregory J. W Urwin pulls the reader into a scene describing not the Battle of the Little Big Horn but a Civil War engagement that George Armstrong Custer and his troop survived, thanks to strategy as much as naked courage. Many books have focused on Custer's Last Stand in 1876, making legend of total defeat. Custer Victorious is the first to examine at length, with attention to primary sources, his brilliant...

Facing Fearful Odds: The Siege of Wake Island
ISBN: 9780803295629 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 754 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although the siege of Wake Island was not one of World War II's biggest campaigns, it had a profound psychological effect on the course of the nation's struggle. This was the battle that first raised American spirits in the dark weeks following Pearl Harbor. For sixteen suspenseful days, 449 U.S. Marines, assisted by a handful of sailors and soldiers and a few hundred civilian construction workers, withstood repeated attacks by numerically superior Japanese forces. Although Wake finally fell on 23 December 1941, its garrison made the Japanese pay an embarrassingly high price for a tiny coral...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In January 1863 the Union War Department authorized the creation of "a special corps" composed of "persons of African descent"--the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, commanded by Col. Robert Gould Shaw. Hundreds of free blacks enlisted. When the 54th Massachusetts spearheaded the suicidal charge against Fort Wagner on July 18, 1863, the regiment was showered with acclaim, but that defining event was not its only illustrious moment. After the devastating repulse at Fort Wagner left all of the unit's ranking officers dead or wounded, Captain Luis F. Emilio (1844-1918) emerged as the 54th's...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and the Philippines were subsequently surrendered in April 1942, Lt. Gene Boyt became a prisoner of war, suffering unthinkable deprivation and brutality at the hands of the ruthless Japanese guards.
