Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of Lake Erie on 10 September 1813 is considered by many to be the most important naval confrontation of the War of 1812. Made famous by the American fleet commander Oliver Hazard Perry's comment, "We have met the enemy and they are ours," the battle marked the U.S. Navy's first successful fleet action and was one of the rare occasions when the Royal Navy surrendered an entire squadron. This book draws on British, Canadian, and American documents to offer a totally impartial analysis of all sides of the struggle to control the lake. New diagrams of the battle are included that reflect the authors' modification of traditional positions of various vessels. The book also evaluates the strategic background and tactical conduct of the British and the Americans and the command leadership exercised by Perry and his British opponent, Commander Robert H. Barclay. Not since James Fenimore Cooper's 1843 book on the subject has the battle been examined in such detail, and not since Alfred Thayer Mahan's 1905 study of the war has there been such a significant reinterpretation of the engagement. First published in hardcover in 1997, the book is the winner of the North American Society for Oceanic History's John Lyman Book Award.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the Message Through, the companion volume to Rebecca Robbins Raines' Signal Corps, traces the evolution of the corps from the appointment of the first signal officer on the eve of the Civil War, through its stages of growth and change, to its service in Operation DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM. Raines highlights not only the increasingly specialized nature of warfare and the rise of sophisticated communications technology, but also such diverse missions as weather reporting and military aviation. Information dominance in the form of superior communications is considered to be sine qua non to modern warfare. As Raines ably shows, the Signal Corps--once considered by some Army officers to be of little or no military value--and the communications it provides have become integral to all aspects of military operations on modern digitized battlefields. The volume is an invaluable reference source for anyone interested in the institutional history of the branch.

Book excerpt: The first issue of Signal hit the newsstands in April 1940; the last appeared on 12 April 1945, just weeks before the Third Reich’s surrender. As the Nazi empire expanded across Europe, the magazine’s readership grew equally dramatically. By 1943, its circulation was around 2.5 million. Appearing like clockwork once a fortnight – it had started off as a supplement to the Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung – it circulated in Belgium, Bohemia, Moravia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iran, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain and Turkey as well as in Germany itself. An English-language edition was even produced for the United States. This fascinating survey charts Signal’s entire career, from the heady days of the Blitzkrieg, when final victory, it was assumed, lay just around the corner, to how the magazine faced up to the Reich’s decline and fall. At its outset, it was brashly optimistic, packed full of photographs celebrating the Reich’s triumph over its enemies. Later, as the tide of war swung inexorably against Nazi Germany and there were no more victories to celebrate, the editorial emphasis subtly altered. Originally, half of Signal was given over to news coverage, while the other half was devoted to gossip – the Reich’s film stars featured prominently – sporting events, theatre and fashion. Now, the balance changed. Starved of good news to publish, the magazine focussed on the heroism of the soldiers at the front, who fought on gallantly in spite of all setbacks. The historical commentary in Hitler’s War: Fact of Fiction puts the magazine content into accurate historical context, showing how, after 1943, the picture of Nazi Germany that Signal presented became ever more increasingly at odds with reality.
