Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Military Attache in Japan (1929-1933), a work of history with the soul of a novel, is the compelling memoir of the late United States Army Colonel James G. McIlroy's service in Japan as Military Attache from 1929 to 1933. Brought to life with sensitivity by the author's daughter, Jane S. McIlroy, Colonel McIlroy's narrative takes readers on a wondrous journey through mid-twentieth-century political and military events. At the same time. Colonel McIlroy writes in delicious detail about his own military career, describing his appointment and ultimate service in Japan. He is an observant traveler. Come along with the Colonel as he creates vivid and revealing pictures of the Japanese Emperor and his family, Shinto ceremonies, elegant dinners, Japanese baths, and beautiful geishas in attendance at diplomatic functions. Interestingly, underlying much of the diplomatic context is Colonel McIlroy's main task-to learn how best to bomb Japan. It is information that will have a profound impact on history. Book jacket.

Download or read book Military Attache written by Alfred Vagts and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is both a history of the service attaché, beginning with the Napoleonic era, and a discussion of his changing role, past and present. Professor Vagts shows the military adviser temporarily joined to the diplomatic corps as a person often divided in his loyalties to diplomatic officials and to military leaders. Affected by increasing bureaucratic specialization, he sometimes became a "twilight" figure engaged in political activity and even espionage. Professor Vagts' numerous works on the history of militarism and the military, in both German and English, and his research in the chancelleries of Europe have given him perspective for this book. Originally published in 1967.

Download or read book Hitler s Ambivalent Attach written by Alfred M. Beck and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friedrich von Boetticher was Germany's only military attaché accredited to the United States between the world wars. As such, he was Germany's official military observer in the capital of the nation whose potential as an ally of those powers arrayed against Adolf Hitler in the 1930s might have given the dictator pause in any predatory plans he harbored against his neighbors. Though von Boetticher produced a rich and detailed commentary on military and political affairs in Washington in the eight years prior to the outbreak of war between Germany and the United States in 1941, he was nonetheless accused after the war of misjudging America's productive potential and misleading Hitler with overly optimistic reports. As Alfred M. Beck points out, what he actually told German authorities in Berlin is strikingly different from what his detractors later claimed. Von Boetticher "permits a glimpse into the sociology of a conservative officer caste at once assailed by the politics of a regime and the impossibilities imposed on it, its weaknesses in resisting its evils, and its eventual failure to present an alternative to National Socialism's illusory attractions." A loyal German, von Boetticher had strong ties to America. His mother was American-born, he spoke English fluently, and he was enamored of American military history. He was also anti-Semitic and believed that "Jewish wire-pullers" had undue influence over the U.S. government and its policies. His professional ties to U.S. Army officers in the War Department were so strong--supplying them, for example, with details on German air strength and operations during the Battle of Britain in 1940--that they survived until August 1941 and long after the German ambassador himself had been recalled. Torn between his duty to Germany (though the Nazi regime had attempted to harm his son) and his deep affection for America, von Boetticher stood among the broad middle range of German officials who were neither perpetrator nor victim.

Book excerpt: After a year's training in Hungarian, the author was accredited as the British Defence Attaché in Budapest. In this book, in light-hearted mood, he describes some of the challenges and the variety of the life of a military attaché from intelligence gathering to arms sales, from writing the Hungarian application to join NATO to receptions and dinners great and small, from interpreting to intrigue. He lifts the curtain to look at life with the Diplomatic Service and explores the way different nations tried to cover the same tasks. This series of humorous anecdotes is set against the background of a Hungarian nation stepping out of communism and into a modern, western, market economy; something they were keen to do, but are not quite sure how to go about it.
