Book excerpt: This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. This study reports on a preliminary effort to identify, evaluate, and document the historically significant roles Fort Bliss, Texas, has played in the history of the Southwest and the nation. Fort Bliss's 1890 to 1940 history can be divided into several significant periods; a chapter is devoted to each period. At the end of each chapter, a section is devoted to historically important questions relating to that chapter's subject matter. The bibliographic essays that follow each chapter review both the published secondary sources on Fort Bliss history and the primary manuscript sources that merit further analysis.In the 50 years between the post's relocation at its present site and World War II, Fort Bliss gained regional and national significance. Fort Bliss became a great horse cavalry post and the most important U.S. military installation on the border. The army's horse cavalry era ended with the removal of the 1st Cavalry Division from Fort Bliss in 1943. Fort Bliss was the nation's last military base with a strategic mission as a horse cavalry post.Fort Bliss's rise to prominence is intertwined with a series of historical events. Chapter I relates the first of these, the ending of the Indian wars in the late 1880s. Because fewer troops were needed in the country's interior, military forces could be moved to border garrisons. The first crucial decision in the history of modern Fort Bliss dates to this important shift in the army's strategic mission. Fort Selden, New Mexico, then rivaled Fort Bliss as a candidate for the region's most important post. However, impressed by Fort Bliss's strategic border location and its proximity to El Paso's railroads, the military decided to expand Fort Bliss in 1890. Crowded by railroad construction at Hart's Mill, the fort was moved to La Noria Mesa, its present location. The final appearance of the original post on La Noria Mesa largely was the work of the Quartermaster Officer Captain George Ruhlen. The first buildings were completed in 1893. They were first garrisoned in October, 1893; the rest of the decade passed quietly at the fort.EXECUTIVE SUMMARY * PREFACE * FOREWORD * CHAPTER I - The Formative Years of New Fort Bliss (1890-1898) * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1890-1898 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter I * CHAPTER II - Fort Bliss and the Spanish-American War Period (1898-1902) * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1898-1902 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter II * CHAPTER III - Fort Bliss and the Early New Army Period (1902-1910) * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1902-1910 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter III * CHAPTER IV - Fort Bliss and the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1910-1920 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter IV * CHAPTER V - Fort Bliss and World War I (1917-1919) * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1917-1919 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter V * CHAPTER VI - Creation of a Permanent Cavalry Post (1916-1920) * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1916-1920 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter VI * CHAPTER VII - Fort Bliss in the 1920s * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1920-1929 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter VII * CHAPTER VIII - Fort Bliss in the 1930s * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1930-1939 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter VIII * APPENDIX * Fort Bliss in World War II and the Early Cold War Period * Fort Bliss in World War II * Introduction * Fort Bliss in World War II * Summary * Fort Bliss in the Early Cold War Period * Introduction * Fort Bliss in the Early Cold War Period * Summary * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for the Appendix

Book excerpt: Now with a forward by Sean Hannity, this powerful story of brotherhood, bravery, and patriotism exposes the true stories behind some of the Army's darkest secrets. The Army does not want you to read this book. It does not want to advertise its detention system that coddles enemy fighters while putting American soldiers at risk. It does not want to reveal the new lawyered-up Pentagon war ethic that prosecutes U.S. soldiers and Marines while setting free spies who kill Americans. This very system ambushed Captain Roger Hill and his men. Hill, a West Point grad and decorated combat veteran, was a rising young officer who had always followed the letter of the military law. In 2007, Hill got his dream job: infantry commander in the storied 101st Airborne. His new unit, Dog Company, 1-506th, had just returned stateside from the hell of Ramadi. The men were brilliant in combat but unpolished at home, where paperwork and inspections filled their days. With tough love, Hill and his First Sergeant, an old-school former drill instructor named Tommy Scott, turned the company into the top performers in the battalion. Hill and Scott then led Dog Company into combat in Afghanistan, where a third of their men became battlefield casualties after just six months. Meanwhile, Hill found himself at war with his own battalion commander, a charismatic but difficult man who threatened to relieve Hill at every turn. After two of his men died on a routine patrol, Hill and a counterintelligence team busted a dozen enemy infiltrators on their base in the violent province of Wardak. Abandoned by his high command, Hill suddenly faced an excruciating choice: follow Army rules the way he always had, or damn the rules to his own destruction and protect the men he'd grown to love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compares the privileged educational experience offered to the children of relocated Nazi scientists in Texas with the educational disadvantages faced by Mexican American students living in the same city. Educating the Enemy begins with the 144 children of Nazi scientists who moved to El Paso, Texas, in 1946 as part of the military program called Operation Paperclip. These German children were bused daily from a military outpost to four El Paso public schools. Though born into a fascist enemy nation, the German children were quickly integrated into the schools and, by proxy, American society. Their rapid assimilation offered evidence that American public schools played a vital role in ensuring the victory of democracy over fascism. Jonna Perrillo not only tells this fascinating story of Cold War educational policy, but she draws an important contrast with another, much more numerous population of children in the El Paso public schools: Mexican Americans. Like everywhere else in the Southwest, Mexican American children in El Paso were segregated into “Mexican” schools, where the children received a vastly different educational experience. Not only were they penalized for speaking Spanish—the only language all but a few spoke due to segregation—they were tracked for low-wage and low-prestige careers, with limited opportunities for economic success. Educating the Enemy charts what two groups of children—one that might have been considered the enemy, the other that was treated as such—reveal about the ways political assimilation has been treated by schools as an easier, more viable project than racial or ethnic assimilation.
