Pershing's Crusaders offers a clear, close-up picture of the American soldiers of World War I in all of their vibrant

they ate, the clothes they wore, their view of the Allied and German soldiers and civilians they encountered, and more.

the nearly 4.2 million American soldiers mobilized for service in World War I.

Combat Ready?: The Eighth U.S. Army on the Eve of the Korean War
by Dr. Tom Hanson; 232 pages; Texas A&M University Press, 2010. Available on amazon.com -(hardcover - $44.99,
Kindle - $36) and barnesandnoble.com (hardcover - $45.00).
In the decades since the "forgotten war" in Korea, conventional wisdom has held that the Eighth Army consisted largely
of poorly trained, undisciplined troops who fled in terror from the onslaught of the Communist forces. By recognizing the
constraints under which the Eighth Army operated, Hanson asserts that scholars and soldiers will be able to discard what
Douglas Macarthur called the "pernicious myth" of the Eighth Army's professional, physical, and moral ineffectiveness.
Dr. Tom Hanson is the director of the history department of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas. He is a retired U.S. Army colonel and holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in history from The Ohio University.

For Liberty and the Republic: The American Citizen as Soldier, 1775-1861
by Dr. Ricardo A. Herrera; 272 pages; NYU Press, 2015. Available on amazon.com (hardcover - $55.00; paperback $28.00; Kindle - $52.25) and barnesandnoble.com (hardcover - $46.90; Nook- $48.49).
In the early decades of the American Republic, American soldiers demonstrated and defined their beliefs about the nature
of American republicanism and how they, as citizens and soldiers, were participants in the republican experiment through
their service. In For Liberty and the Republic, Ricardo A. Herrera examines the relationship between soldier and citizen
from the War of Independence through the first year of the Civil War.
Dr. Ricardo A. Herrera is associate professor of military history at the School of Advanced Military Studies, U.S. Army
Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

amazon.com (hardcover - $16.04; paperback - $19.95) and barnesandnoble.com (hardcover - $16.04)
Phyllis Ursula James. Nora O Mara. Roisin Ni Mheara. Like her name, the life of Rosaleen James changed many times as
she followed a convoluted path from abandoned child, to foster daughter of an aristocratic British family, to traitor during
World War II, to her emergence as a full Irish woman afterward. In Masquerade, authors Mark M. Hull and Vera Moynes
tell James' story as it unfolds against the backdrop of the most important events of the twentieth century. James' life both
real and imagined makes for an incredible but true story.
Dr. Mark Hull is an associate professor at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas, where he teaches both criminal law and history courses. He earned his undergraduate degree from The Citadel,
doctorate from University College Cork in Ireland, and Juris Doctorate from the Cumberland School of Law.
