Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extremely unique work defines spiritual warfare in a way never written before. It is uniquely Bible centered and takes the reader from Genesis to Revelation to scripturally document spiritual warfare without academic commentaries, artistic liberties, or personal opinions. It is an exhaustive resource of over 800 pages that brilliantly details the relationship of physical and spiritual warfare strictly in the context of the Bible. King Solomon's Book of Proverbs establishes the foundation of this magnificent manuscript and it is his wisdom that provides clarity of the war before all humanity. Solomon's work identifies the forces that make-up five powerful defenders of the positive forces warring against 25 aggressors of the negative forces. In essence, he provides the substance of the "invisible" attributes that the apostle Paul speaks of in Romans 1:20 and then elaborates on in Ephesians 6:11-18. With this backdrop, the full effect of spiritual warfare is exquisitely explained by scriptural references and example after example taken from every book of the Bible. Scriptures, charts, tables, and graphics are all used to form definitive illustrations of the warring attributes that are often referred to as the Biblical "good" and "evil" or popular forces of "light" and "darkness". Moreover, this extraordinary resource specifically defines what is in the "harvest" that Jesus spoke of when He said, "...The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few" (Matthew 9:37). It informs the reader, in the context of war, how the influences of the positive and negative forces affect the harvest. Further, this resource explains why so many people fall as collateral damage in spiritual war by their ignorance (Hosea 4:6). It clarifies why God's judgement is impartial and leaves every adult soul without excuse in accordance with Romans 2:1-11. This resource provides a graphic representation of the spiritual battlefield, clarifies the importance of Biblical "discernment", and documents the impact of "calamity" and "strife" on the battlefield. Finally, this resource documents God's only authorized refuge, its organizational structure, and its function on the spiritual battlefield for educating those who desire to survive the war. This is an eye opener for many that is embedded in God's word. However, it is based on God's standing Biblical principles that man has no right to add or take away from His word which is stated in the beginning (Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12:32), the middle (Proverbs 30:5-6), and the end (Revelation 22:18) of His Holy word.You will not regret your purchase of this invaluable resource. Just like the "Understanding the Greatest War Campaign Ever Conceived - Clarity from the Book of Proverbs and How to Win" book cover is a basic color design of black and white, so is the information contained in this resource. It is written for everyone. Written by a 30-year veteran of the United States Army, Colonel Joseph Frazier's exhaustive work reveals the scriptural basis for God's special armor (Ephesians 6:10-20) on the true battlefield. From his extensive military experience, Colonel Frazier puts in context what very few authors on the market can. Using his experience in the Gulf War, he scripturally explains the "fog of war" as it visually and cognitively impairs souls on the spiritual battlefield. Colonel Frazier reveals the truth about deception, its tactics and strategies, and the true covert nature of a fierce enemy. In fact, he scripturally dissects the true aspect of war fighting down to the simple principles of: -Who or what is the enemy? -What are his or her capabilities? -What motivates him or her to fight?Based on this monumental and exhaustive resource, Colonel Frazier genuinely understands that an invisible or visible adversary cannot be defeated without knowledge of these key elements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 19th century, one of the surest ways to rise to prominence in American society was to be a war hero, like Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison. But few would have predicted such a destiny for Hiram Ulysses Grant, who had been a career soldier with little experience in combat and a failed businessman when the Civil War broke out in 1861. However, while all eyes were fixed on the Eastern theater at places like Manassas, Richmond, the Shenandoah Valley and Antietam, Grant went about a steady rise up the ranks through a series of successes in the West. His victory at Fort Donelson, in which his terms to the doomed Confederate garrison earned him the nickname "Unconditional Surrender" Grant, could be considered the first major Union victory of the war, and Grant's fame and rank only grew after that at battlefields like Shiloh and Vicksburg. Along the way, Grant nearly fell prey to military politics and the belief that he was at fault for the near defeat at Shiloh, but President Lincoln famously defended him, remarking, "I can't spare this man. He fights." Lincoln's steadfastness ensured that Grant's victories out West continued to pile up, and after Vicksburg and Chattanooga, Grant had effectively ensured Union control of the states of Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as the entire Mississippi River. At the beginning of 1864, Lincoln put him in charge of all federal armies, and he led the Army of the Potomac against Robert E. Lee in the Overland campaign, the siege of Petersburg, and famously, the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox. Although Grant was instrumental in winning the war and eventually parlayed his fame into two terms in the White House, his legacy and accomplishments are still the subjects of heavy debate today. His presidency is remembered mostly due to rampant fraud within his Administration, although he was never personally accused of wrongdoing, and even his victories in the Civil War have been countered by charges that he was a butcher. Like the other American Legends, much of Grant's personal life has been eclipsed by the momentous battles and events in which he participated, from Fort Donelson to the White House.

Download or read book History s Greatest War written by S. J. Duncan-Clark and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History's Greatest War: A Pictorial Narrative This volume attempts to encompass the causes of the great conflict, the chief happenings of military and political importance during the bloodiest four years of the world history, and their results and their effects upon the nations involved. An earnest endeavor has been made to take the reader through the most impor tant phases. The limitation of this work to one volume makes the giving of exhaustive details of every incident, eve'ry battle, every siege, every advance or retreat, an impossibility. But in this very limitation lies the book's greatest value. To please a tactician, chapters might be devoted to the battles along the Marne, the Somme, the Yser, or to the struggle be fore Verdun or to the Russian campaigns. But for the reader who seeks a straightforward, circumstantial narrative of the great war, without its chief events being clouded and obscured by a multiplicity of subsidiary details, this book has been written. Devotion of time to research has been given that its facts may be accurate. It contains no statements based on rumors, no accounts taken from unauthoritative sources. The United States undoubtedly was the great determining factor in the over throw and crushing of junkerism, and for that reason this volume should be of the greatest interest to Americans. Two million sons of America were in France. Their concentration and transportation was the greatest military feat in history. America's active share in the war, though it covered only a little over a year and a half, is the nation's most glorious achievement. With this in mind, painstaking effort has been made to do the fullest justice to recounting the events of the last eighteen months of the crusade to crush autocracy and militarism.

Download or read book Fatal Sunday written by Mark Edward Lender and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have long considered the Battle of Monmouth one of the most complicated engagements of the American Revolution. Fought on Sunday, June 28, 1778, Monmouth was critical to the success of the Revolution. It also marked a decisive turning point in the military career of George Washington. Without the victory at Monmouth Courthouse, Washington's critics might well have marshaled the political strength to replace him as the American commander-in-chief. Authors Mark Edward Lender and Garry Wheeler Stone argue that in political terms, the Battle of Monmouth constituted a pivotal moment in the War for Independence. Viewing the political and military aspects of the campaign as inextricably entwined, this book offers a fresh perspective on Washington’s role in it. Drawing on a wide range of historical sources—many never before used, including archaeological evidence—Lender and Stone disentangle the true story of Monmouth and provide the most complete and accurate account of the battle, including both American and British perspectives. In the course of their account it becomes evident that criticism of Washington’s performance in command was considerably broader and deeper than previously acknowledged. In light of long-standing practical and ideological questions about his vision for the Continental Army and his ability to win the war, the outcome at Monmouth—a hard-fought tactical draw—was politically insufficient for Washington. Lender and Stone show how the general’s partisans, determined that the battle for public opinion would be won in his favor, engineered a propaganda victory for their chief that involved the spectacular court-martial of Major General Charles Lee, the second-ranking officer of the Continental Army. Replete with poignant anecdotes, folkloric incidents, and stories of heroism and combat brutality; filled with behind-the-scenes action and intrigue; and teeming with characters from all walks of life, Fatal Sunday gives us the definitive view of the fateful Battle of Monmouth.

Download or read book Operational Art and the Narva Front 1944 Sinim ed and Campaign Planning written by Andrew Del Gaudio and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is much written history for the military professional to read, but little is of value to his education. While many works are often wonderful reading, they are too broad or narrow in scope, often lacking the context to be used for serious study by professional soldiers. This work was written with two audiences in mind; my colleagues in the academic world, along with my many comrades who are professional soldiers. The present work was originally conceived as a contribution to historical literature on the subject of military education. More specifically, it was to be an exploration of the concept of operational art and the manner in which planning was doctrinally conducted to articulate battle on the Eastern Front in the Second World War. Any study of war devoid of the theory and doctrine of the period would be of little use to academics and military professionals alike. By the same token, it is often necessary for an author to relate the unfamiliar feelings of combat to a reader in order to give the perspective needed to understand war. Military professionals should study history to become better decision makers. Peter Paret best explained the role of history in relation to military professionals or historians when he said, "By opening up the past for us, history added to the fund of knowledge that we can acquire directly and also made possible universal concepts and generalizations across time. To enable history to do this, the historian must be objective or as Clausewitz would have said- "as scientific or philosophical as possible." Decision making must be looked at through the lens of what Clausewitz called "critical analysis." Clausewitz sought to answer the question of "why" something happened in terms of cause and effect. A decisions being examined can only be understood if we know something of the character of the man who made it. These thoughts together provide the foundation on which greater understanding of the art and science of war is built, thus giving the military professional the tools to deconstruct a decision in terms of the problem historically in time and space. This facilitates a greater appreciation and understanding of his trade. The "reenacting process" allows scholars and professional soldiers to reconstruct problems in terms of the terrain and material used during the period; giving a clearer view into the heart of the problem. As students of the art and science of war, we must make every effort to morally, mentally and physically put ourselves in a position to understand why leaders made the decisions they did. While the sheer terror of combat can never be properly replicated, our studies must find a way to understand them. The English language, or any language for that matter has a poor ability to explain in words, written or spoken, the horror of war. War is not just the extension of policy by other means, it is a societal interaction where human beings struggle within the phenomenon called war. We must understand war to be a human activity, thus a social affair. Grasping human emotions, we see events capable of motivating or terrifying combatants in the lonely hours with the extreme violence typical of combat. In this light, we correctly educate ourselves about the true nature of war. War studied at the strategic, operational or tactical-levels should always consider decisions made, particularly in terms of their moral, mental and physical properties. Common elements to the offense or defense are the weather and terrain being fought on. While the weather will ultimately affect each differently, weather has the ability to complicate terrain in ways man to this day cannot conquer. The following pages reflect a military professional's understanding of the events at Leningrad, Narva and Sinimäed from 68 years ago. Understanding of these events was achieved through German plan for Operation BLAU. An examination of this and other operational-level documents has yielded a tremendous understanding of how the Germans envisioned the retrograde of their forces into the Baltic states. It brings the author joy to know this work can be used to explain the monumental events and sacrifices of others. To this end, I have made my finest attempt.

Download or read book The Wilderness Campaign written by Gary W. Gallagher and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1864, in the vast Virginia scrub forest known as the Wilderness, Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee first met in battle. The Wilderness campaign of May 5-6 initiated an epic confrontation between these two Civil War commanders--one that would finally end, eleven months later, with Lee's surrender at Appomattox. The eight essays here assembled explore aspects of the background, conduct, and repercussions of the fighting in the Wilderness. Through an often-revisionist lens, contributors to this volume focus on topics such as civilian expectations for the campaign, morale in the two armies, and the generalship of Lee, Grant, Philip H. Sheridan, Richard S. Ewell, A. P. Hill, James Longstreet, and Lewis A. Grant. Taken together, these essays revise and enhance existing work on the battle, highlighting ways in which the military and nonmilitary spheres of war intersected in the Wilderness.
