Fine unread condition charcoal black boards, black spine and silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket.

Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates and front and rear endpaper maps. "In leading NATO to victory in Kosovo, General Wesley Clark experienced all of the triumphs and frustrations of coalition warfare in a 24-hour media age. This book is a gripping tale of how the alliance's first military campaign was run, including a must-read account of bureaucratic warfare with his own civilian bosses in Washington." - Christiane Amanpour. "Ugly, Shocking, Frightening, war came to Europe once more in March 1999. The world watched in dismay as Yugoslavia's military machine attacked its own citizens in the province of Kosovo. Pictures of refugees fleeing and stories of murder and rape flashed to the top of the news. As had happened so often since the end of the Cold War, ethnic conflict had turned deadly, and the great powers seemed reluctant to get involved. This time, however, the United States and its allies intervened. Using an innovative, high-technology air operation, NATO brought modern military power to bear against Serb forces in the field and the machinery of repression that backed them up. It was modern war - limited in scope, measured in effect, extraordinarily complex in execution. And in the end, after ten weeks of steadily intensifying air attack, the Yugoslav troops were withdrawn and the Kosovar Albanians returned to therir homes. Remarkably, not a single Ameican was killed in combat. The American commander who oversaw this massive military effort and managed the often incompatible demands of NATO's nineteen governments was General Wesley K. Clark. In Waging Modern War, Clark recounts not only the events that led to armed conflict, but also the context within which he made the key strategic decisions. He also describes, for the first time, how he walked the tightrope of high diplomacy and military strategy and navigated the crushing restraints of domestic politics. As the Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, Clark faced a task far more daunting than simply when and where to deploy his forces and weapons. He also had to mediate numerous conflicts that threatened to derail the alliance's efforts against the regime of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic - conflicts between the Europeans and the Americans, between the policy makers and the journalists, between the diplomats and the military men. Clark takes us behind the scenes for an unprecedented view of decision making in real time, and through his unvarnished account we see: The struggle to lead NATO's militaries in fighting a precision war under the glare of the modern media; The conflict within NATO about when and how to take a stand against Milosevic, ethnic cleansing, and instability in the Balkans; The contest for the direction of U.S. policy between the Pentagon and the State Department; Clark's battles with his superiors in the Pentagon over the strategy and tactics of the operation. The war in Kosovo may have been short in duration, but it was a harbinger of the new realities of war-fighting and war-planning, and Clark offers a blueprint for how the American military infrastructure must adapt if it is to meet the new threats that are likely to emerge in the coming years and decades. Waging Modern War is thus the story not only of war today, but also of war as it will be fought tomorrow." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Camlin, Alex (jacket design); U.S. Army (jacket photograph); Bauer, Jerry (author photograph) (illustrator). 1st Edition. Fine unread condition black boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Alex Kershaw; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Roster of the 394th I&R Platoon at the Battle of the Bulge; Preliminary Page Quote; Notes; List of Awards: Intelligence and Reconnaissance Platoon, 394th Infantry Division, 99th Infantry Division, and 394th I&R Presidential Unit Citation; Bibliography and Index. Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates plus black-and-white maps interspersed throughout the volume. "Hitler's last desperate gamble - the Battle of the Bulge - might have changed history if not for the do-or-die heroism of eighteen brave American boys. General Eisenhower called their actions "the most outstanding tactical maneuver in World War II. The Longest Winter is their incredible tale. I highly recommend this moving story of uncommon valor." - James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers. "The Longest Winter is a gripping saga about raw courage and superhuman endurance. Alex Kershaw recounts what it was like to fight against Nazi aggression at the Battle of the Bulge. A truly heroic book." - Douglas Brinkley, Director of the Eisenhower Center for American Studies at the University of New Orleans and author of Tour of Duty. "It was a cold December morning in 1944, deep in the Ardennes forest of Belgium. Eighteen men of a small intelligence platoon commanded by twenty-year-old lieutenant Lyle Bouck were huddled in their foxholes, desperately trying to keep warm. Suddenly the early morning silence was broken by the roar of a huge artillery bombardment. Hitler had launched his bold and risky offensive against the Allies - his "last gamble" - and the American platoon was facing the main thrust of the entire German assault. Vastly outnumbered, the platoon repulsed three German assaults in a fierce day-long battle to defend a strategically vital hill. Only when Bouck's men had run out of ammunition did they surrender. But their long winter was just beginning. As POWs, Bouck's platoon experienced an ordeal far worse than combat - surviving in captivity with trigger-happy German guards, Allied bombing raids, and a starvation diet. While hundreds of other captured Americans in German POW camps were either killed or died of disease, the men of Bouck's platoon miraculously survived - all of them - and returned home after the war. More than thirty years later, when President Carter recognized the unit's "extraordinary heroism" and the U.S. Army approved combat medals for all eighteen men, they became America's most decorated platoon of World War II. With the same vivid and dramatic prose that made The Bedford Boys a national bestseller, Alex Kershaw brings to life the story of these little-known heroes - an epic tale of courage and survival in World War II and one of the most inspiring episodes in American history." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Fowler, Edith (book design); Cohen, Marc J. (jacket design); U.S. Army/National Archives (jacket photograph); Olivo, Darlene H. (author photograph) (illustrator). 1st Edition. Fine condition black boards, black spine and gold spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Stephen E. Ambrose; Author Dedication; Introduction; Sources and Index. Illustrated with three sections of black-and-white photographic plates plus a section of maps. "From America's preeminent military historian, Stephen E. Ambrose, comes a brilliant telling of the war in Europe, from D-Day, June 6, 1944, to the end, eleven months later, on May 7, 1945. This authoritative narrative accont is drawn by the author himself from his five acclaimed books about that conflict, most particularly from the definitive and comprehensive D-Day and from Citizen Soldiers, about which the great Civil War historian James McPherson wrote: "If there is a better book about the experience of GIs who foungt in Europe during World War II, I have not read it. Citizen Soldiers captures the fear and exhilaration of combat, the hunger and cold and filth of the foxholes, the small, intense world of the individual rifleman as well as the big picture of the European theater in a manner that grips the reader and will not let him go. No one who has not been there can understand what combat is like but Stephen Ambrose brings us closer to an understanding than any other historian has done." The Victors also includes stories of individual battles, raids, acts of courage, and suffering from Pegasus Bridge, an account of the first engagement of D-Day, when a detachment of British airborne troops stormed the German defense forces and paved the way for the Allied invasion; and from Band of Brothers, an account of an American rifle company from the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment who fought, died, and conquered, from Utah Beach through the Bulge and on to Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Germany. Stephen Ambrose is also the author of Eisenhower, the greatest work on Dwight Eisenhower, and one of the editors of the Supreme Allied Commander's papers. He describes the momentous decisions about how and where the war was fought, and the strategies and conduct of the generals and officers who led the invasion and the bloody drive across Europe to Berlin. But it is, as always with Stephen Ambrose, the ranks, the ordinary boys and men, who command his attention and his awe. The Victors tells their stories, how citizens became soldiers in the best army in the world. Ambrose draws on thousands of interviews and oral histories from government and private archives, from the high command - Eisenhower, Bradley, Patton - on down through officers and enlisted men, to re-create the last year of the Second World War, when the Allied soldiers pushed the Germans out of France, chased them across Germany, and destroyed the Nazi regime." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, Chain-of-Command Organizational Chart and Operational (Mission) Task Organization Chart, and a double-page map frontispiece of Mogadishu, Somalia and Ethiopia. Signed and inscribed by the author with black pen on the title page. "I was impressed with the candid way COL McKnight dealt with the Clinton Administration's handling of Somalia. It is good to hear someone tell the American people the truth about that foreign policy disaster. COL McKnight honored the warriors of Task Force RANGER well in his book." -- Major Jeff Struecker, USA (RET.), Chaplain. "COL Danny McKnight, one of the heroic figures of the battle of Mogadishu, has written a superb leadership-primer for all chiefs and up-and-coming leaders, which will serve them well from the battlefield to the boardroom." -- World Defense Review. "If you can handle the unvarnished, politically incorrect truth, then you'll love this book. Danny McKnight pulls no punches as he provides a behind-the-scenes version of American combat action in Somalia that you won't get from the mainstream media. Combined with his thoughts on time-tested leadership skills honed while leading soldiers under fire. Highly recommended." -- Robert A. Schmidt, Federal Agent and Retired Naval Officer.
