Download or read book Under Two Flags written by William M Fowler and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2012-04-15 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vividly written and well researched by a noted historian of the period, this succinct history credits the Union Navy as an essential element in the northern victory. Neither ponderous nor hagiographic, the work presents characters and events that have been previously neglected and offers candid assessments of officers, men, and material. Originally published in 1990, when it was a Military History Book Club selection, the work is considered a must for Civil War buffs. It is an authoritative and gripping story of the battles waged. The author provides a rare look at the war fought by primitive northern gunboats drifting through Louisiana's muddy bayous, Yankee merchantmen captured by rebel privateers at sea, and Union ironclads subduing hotly defended Southern forts. Nor does William Fowler neglect the subtler sparrings behind the scenes: War Secretary Stanton and Navy Secretary Welles competing for Lincoln's favor and Welles's fierce duel of strategies with his Confederate counterpart, Stephen Mallory. Finally, the author describes the astonishing transformation of the Navy itself from a ragtag fleet of aging steamers and paddleboats to one of the most powerful waterborne forces in the world.

Download or read book Under 2 flags written by George P. Richardson, Ph.D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As I think back, my life had gone full circle, from the Midwest to Germany and back to the Midwest to California. In summing up my experiences, both in Germany and in the United States, I can say that as a youngster I was anti-Bolshevik in Germany, in my service in the Counterintelligence Corp and I was anti-Bolshevik in the United States. Throughout it all, there was one constant that I can claim to be mine and that was my involvement with youth, be it in the Hitler Youth, be it in the Jung Volk, be it in the schools that I was attending, be it with horses, and later with dogs and on sailboats. I have only met wonderful people. If people should turn out to be not so wonderful, I would quickly disengage myself from their presence. In my teaching, I followed the Confucius dictum, "I will teach one-third and hope that those I am teaching will make clear unto themselves the remaining two-thirds or I will not teach them again." In public education, there was no way one could carry that out. In the Equestrian field, I can say that I had two outstanding students, Carol Hancock and Kay Switzer, who won the California State Equestrian Championships in different years at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Carol was a walk/trot, i.e., a gaited rider and Kay Switzer was a Hunter Jumper. It was a fantastic experience working with young people. I have also told the young people not to worry about people not knowing them but that they should worry about whether or not they are worth knowing. Another dictum that I repeated again, based on the Chinese scholar, is "If you have made a mistake and do not set about to correct it, you have already made another mistake." It is amazing how much kids remember those little quips. Two decades after I had left L.A. High, I was in Cerritos at a service station, when a Black gentleman came to me and he asked, "Excuse me, sir, are you not Mr. Richardson who taught at L.A. High?" I said, "Yes, I am." He said, "Sir, I will never forget you." To me as a teacher, that was the best compliment one could ever have! At this point in my life, I am now sailing an Ericson 27. The nice thing about that boat is that I can stand up straight in the main cabin. I can go from the main cabin into the enclosed head without having to stoop down. I have a self-furling headsail, and I have all sorts of reefing gizmos, gimmicks on the mainsail and a Yanmar Diesel. So that at my age, and I am over 84, I can enjoy the days that remain with my faithful little Schnauzer, Champion K.B's Sing Noel von Stocker (aka Noelle). I am in awe of God. I do not think that God is particularly loving and kind to people. There are billions of people whose prayers, if I am right, he cannot listen to! Hildburg and I are of the conviction that in that time beyond we are going to meet again and be together. If there is no hereafter, then that which she and I experienced together, every moment of that life I had with this wonderful lady, was yes, "Under Two Flags", the German Flag and the American Flag, from the horse to the canine, to the seagulls. I have no regrets. I thank my sister, Florence, for the support she has showed me in the closing months of Hildburg's life. I was singularly blessed.

Download or read book Between Two Flags written by Anthony G. Russell and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between Two Flags tells the gripping story of the turbulent yet enduring and loving marriage of John Mitchel and Jenny Verner. Their courtship was opposed by both families, and their elopement and marriage caused public consternation, but this remarkable couple went on to live through and influence the politics of mid-19th-century Ireland and the United States. Both were ardent supporters of physical force Republicanism and of the American Confederates. Their story spans the landscape - of Ulster, Europe, the Americas, and Van Diemen's Land (the island of Tasmania) - on a journey through the Great Famine, the American Civil War, Fenianism, revolution, and deportation. Beset by tragedies within their family life, theirs was a world of paradox and adventure, counter-pointed by sacrifice to shared political ideals. Controversially, their enthusiastic support of the institution of slavery is a subject that the book meets head on in an evocation of the period and its context. Destined to be separated by death in different continents, John Mitchel's and Jenny Verner's heroic relationship is sympathetically documented and analyzed in this engaging and captivating story. *** "As fascinating as it is edifying, 'Between Two Flags' is highly recommended." -- Midwest Book Review, Wisconsin Bookwatch: November 2015, The Biography Shelf [Subject: Biography, Irish Studies, History, Politics]

Book excerpt: The Warsaw ghetto uprising was planned and accomplished by two organizations, the ZOB (Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa Jewish Fighting Organization) and the ZZW (Zydowska Zwiazek Wojskowy Jewish Military Union). While the part of the ZOB is well known though multiple books and articles, the part of the ZZW has been largely ignored for political reasons. Using extensive primary source material from Polish, Jewish and German sources, much of it here translated into English for the first time, the role of the ZZW is reported and analyzed, with special attention given to the fierce battle waged over the Polish and Jewish flags hoisted over the ghetto.
