Download or read book West Point written by Robert C. Richardson and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is intended to provide, in addition to a brief historical overview of West Point, an understanding of the emotions and experiences of a cadet from the time they arrive at the academy until they graduate four years later. The author's interpretation of the cadets' feelings may be disagreed with by some of their fellow West Pointers, but the information is drawn from the author's own experiences and conversations with current cadets. The customs, traditions, and methods of training at the academy are unique and leave a lasting impression on the cadets, particularly in terms of the "Spirit of West Point" which is an almost indescribable influence. The author has attempted to capture and describe this spirit in the pages of the book. The author has enjoyed writing about West Point, a subject that is close to their heart and hopes that by reading this book, the general public will gain a better understanding of the goals and ideals of the National Military Academy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph outlines the history of the Vietnamese National Military Academy (VNMA) from 1948 to 1975. The new institution trained military cadres according to the standards of advanced armies in the world. The application of the 4-year program became supple because of the needs and conditions of the battlegrounds. The VNMA went through a challenging journey to keep up with the world-famous military schools like the U.S. Military Academy (1802); Ecole Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr (1802), and the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst (1812). Due to the unique circumstances of South Vietnam, the tasks of the VNMA were somewhat different and more complex than the other schools named above. That is, the VNMA must produce the military cadres to pursuing both national defense and nation-building endeavors. The history of VNMA was closely linked to the historical struggle of the Republic of Vietnam. After April 30, 1975, military researchers continued to investigate relevant issues and incidents to give answers to the ultimate question of whether the final collapse was inevitable or by taking different strategies that could make North Vietnam abandon its intention to invade South Vietnam? They are: 1. After the signing of the 1954 Peace Accord Treaty, the North Vietnamese still retained the war machine as in the first Indochina war. Since 1959, they had already explored the infiltration route to the South across Laos and Cambodia, known as the Hồ Chí Minh trail. 2. The Domino Theory, initiated by President Eisenhower in 1954 and followed through by both presidents Kennedy and Johnson, no longer had any geopolitical value under President Nixon. 3. The U.S. and South Vietnamese planners failed to interpret the strategy named the "General Offensive and General Uprising" developed by North Vietnamese leader Lê Duẩn since 1964. 4. The Tết Offensive of 1968, an utter military defeat for the Communist forces, turned out to be a psychological victory to them and a turning point of the Vietnam war. 5. The failure of Operation Lam Sơn 719 by the South Vietnamese forces in February 1971 in southern Laos. 6. The U.S. military forces, when landed in South Vietnam in 1965, did not have any clear objectives. The strategy of "Search and Destroy" - measured by body-count and kill-ratio - initiated by General Westmoreland in 1965 was not a strategy per se, but because there were no other strategies. 7. The "Vietnamization Plan" was, in fact, a clumsy label. The U.S. should have fully equipped the ARVN much earlier for them to fight their war. 8. The main drawback of the Paris Agreement in 1973 was that it allowed North Vietnamese troops to remain in the South after a ceasefire. 9. Throughout the war, the U.S. and Vietnamese governments failed to convince the international public opinion and especially in the United States, why Americans should have fought in Vietnam, and why the people of South Vietnam fought against the Communists? 10. The three closest reasons which led to the final collapse of South Vietnam were (1) the imperfect Agreement on Ending the War of 1973; (2) the untimely withdrawal and retrenchment of the South Vietnamese Army from the Military Regions 1 and 2; and (3) the fact that President Ford was not able to convince the U.S. Congress to aid South Vietnam to continue fighting. This book could be of good use by three primary readers: (1) the young Vietnamese generations who are not fluent in reading Vietnamese; (2) the Vietnamese-American military cadres in the U.S. Army who want to know more about the history of the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces; and (3) scholars specializing in military history research around the world.

Download or read book The West Point History of the Civil War written by The United States Military Academy and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive military history of the Civil War, featuring the same exclusive images, tactical maps, and expert analysis commissioned by The United States Military Academy to teach the history of the art of war to West Point cadets. The United States Military Academy at West Point is the gold standard for military history and the operational art of war. West Point has created military history texts for its cadets since 1836. For the first time in over forty years, the United States Military Academy has authorized a new military history series that will bear the name West Point. That text has been updated repeatedly, but now it has been completely rewritten and The West Point History of the Civil War is the first volume to result in a new series of military histories authorized by West Point. The West Point History of the Civil War combines the expertise of preeminent historians commissioned by West Point, hundreds of maps uniquely created by cartographers under West Point’s direction, and hundreds of images, many created for this volume or selected from West Point archives. Offering careful analysis of the political context of military decisions, The West Point History of the Civil War is singularly brilliant at introducing the generals and officer corps of both Union and Confederacy, while explaining the tactics, decisions, and consequences of individual battles and the ebb and flow of the war. For two years it has been beta-tested, vetted, and polished by cadets, West Point faculty, and West Point graduates and the results are clear: This is the best military history of its kind available anywhere. This is the standard ebook edition. It is a reproduction of the hardcover edition. It does not include any enhanced or interactive features.
Download or read book Cadets on Campus written by John A. Coulter and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the founding of the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1802, more than eight hundred military schools have existed in this country. The vast majority have closed their doors, been absorbed into other educational institutions, or otherwise faded away, but others soldier on, adapting to changing times and changing educational needs. While many individual institutions have had their histories written or their stories told, to date no single book has attempted to explore the full scope of the military school in American history. Cadets on Campus is the first book to cover the origin, history, and culture of the nation’s military schools—secondary and collegiate—and this breadth of coverage will appeal to historians and alumni alike. Author John Alfred Coulter identifies several key figures who were pivotal to the formation of military education, including Sylvanus Thayer, the “father of West Point,” and Alden Partridge, the founder of the school later known as Norwich University, the first private military school in the country. He also reveals that military schools were present across the nation, despite the conventional wisdom that most military schools, and, indeed, the culture that surrounds them, were limited to the South. Coulter addresses the shuttering of military schools in the era after the Vietnam War and then notes a curious resurgence of interest in military education since the turn of the century.

This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the definitive concise military history of the Revolutionary War and the fourth volume in the West Point History of Warfare series is packed with essential images, exclusive tactical maps, and expert analysis commissioned by The United States Military Academy at West Point to teach the art of war to West Point cadets. The United States Military Academy at West Point is the gold standard for military history and the operational art of war, and has created military history texts for its cadets since 1836. Now, for the first time in more than forty years, the Academy has authorized a new series on the subject that will bear the name West Point. The first three volumes of the West Point History of Warfare released to the public have received rave reviews (and an Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Award) for their “superbly written” texts and their extraordinary maps, images, and data visualizations. The West Point History of the American Revolution is the last volume in this series of definitive concise military histories. Before it was a military academy, West Point was the most important fortress of the American Revolutionary War. Cadets at the Academy learn about the War of Independence in their “History of the Military Art” course, and now this text is available to the public so everyone can understand the birth of the United States Army, the military leadership of Generals George Washington and Nathanael Greene, and the failed British strategies that shaped the conflict. Award-winning military historians Samuel J. Watson, Edward Lengel, and Stephen Conway explain the military and political background to the war and its immediate causes, conduct, and consequences. Concise narrative and lucid analysis are complemented by an impressive array of artworks, contemporary cartoons, excerpts from participants’ letters and memoirs, and dozens of full-color maps prepared under the direction of West Point military historians. Authoritative, illuminating, and beautiful, The West Point History of the American Revolution belongs in the library of every serious student of the American Revolution.
