Hardback. Etat : Fair. The fiftieth anniversary of the Korean War makes this an appropriate time to revisit This Kind of War, the monumental study of the conflict that began in June 1950. Successive generations of U.S. military officers have considered this book an indispensable part of their education. T. R. Fehrenbach's narrative brings to life the harrowing and bloody battles that were fought up and down the Korean Peninsula. Partly drawn from official records, operations journals, and histories, it is based largely on the compelling personal narratives of the small-unit commanders and their troops. Unlike any other work on the Korean War, it provides a clear panoramic view, sharp insight into the successes and failures of U.S. forces, and a riveting account of fierce clashes between U.N. troops and the North Korean and Chinese communist invaders. The lessons that Colonel Fehrenbach identifies still resonate. Severe peacetime budget cuts after World War I left the U.S. military a shadow of its former self. The terrible lesson of Korea was that to send into action troops trained for nothing but serving a hitch in some quiet billet was an almost criminal act. Throwing these ill-trained and poorly equipped troops into the heat of battle resulted in the war's early routs. The United States was simply unprepared for war. As we enter a new century with Americans and North Koreans continuing to face each other across the 38th parallel, we would do well to remember the price we paid during the Korean War.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Best-selling historian T.R. Fehrenbach offers the definitive history of an impressive tribe, from their prehistoric origins to their destruction in the mid nineteenth century. Master riders of the high plains, the Comanche were stunning orators and disciplined warriors who lived by a strict legal code and were renowned for their arrows. They famously defeated the French and Spanish colonialists before ultimately succumbing to the Anglo-American expansion. Thorough and unbiased, this book beautifully chronicles the tragic tale of a remarkable people.…

Soft cover. Etat : Good. 1st edition. Paperback Good+ Book is clean, tight and bright.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Authoritative and immediate, this is the classic account of the most powerful of the American Indian tribes, in which author Fehrenbach traces the Comanches' rise to power, from their prehistoric origins to their domination of the high plains for more than a century until their demise in the face of Anglo-American expansion. Master horseback riders who lived in tepees and hunted bison, the Comanches were stunning orators, disciplined warriors, and the finest makers of arrows. They lived by a strict legal code and worshipped within a cosmology of magic. As he portrays the Comanche lifestyle, Fehrenbach recreates their doomed battle against European encroachment. While they destroyed the Spanish dream of colonising North America and blocked the French advance into the Southwest, the Comanches ultimately fell before the Texas Rangers and the U.S. Army in the great raids and battles of the mid-nineteenth century. This is a classic American story, vividly and poignantly told. In this classic account, a bestselling historian offers the definitive history of a tribe whose rise to prominence early in the 19th century was as swift and stunning as its demise only 50 years later. 37 illustrations. 2 maps. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
