Summary

The Forgotten Battles examines overlooked yet pivotal military history events from World War I and World War II. It argues that focusing solely on well-known battles like the Somme or Stalingrad creates an incomplete understanding of 20th-century conflicts. The book highlights underreported battles, revealing their strategic importance in resource allocation and troop movements, ultimately influencing the Allied and Axis war efforts.

 
A key insight involves understanding how seemingly isolated battles significantly impacted the entire conflict, demonstrating the interconnectedness of different war theaters. The book presents a narrative non-fiction account, drawing on primary sources such as soldiers' letters and military records. Beginning with the establishment of criteria for selecting these "forgotten battles," it delves into case studies from both World Wars. Examples include Eastern Front engagements beyond Tannenberg in WWI and the China-Burma-India Theater in WWII.

 
By exploring the human element and providing social context, the book offers fresh perspectives valuable to history enthusiasts and students of military history.

    Egyptian symbolism is one of the most captivating aspects of ancient Egyptian culture, reflecting their deeply spiritual worldview and providing insight into their daily lives, religious practices, and understanding of the universe. From the majestic pyramids to the intricate hieroglyphs on temple walls, symbolism played a crucial role in conveying meanings that went beyond the literal. It was a tool to communicate with the gods, mark divine power, and ensure continuity in both life and the afterlife. 
At the heart of Egyptian symbolism was the belief that the world was filled with hidden meanings and spiritual forces, each symbol carrying its own power. This belief was manifested in art, architecture, rituals, and even the everyday objects used by the ancient Egyptians. Symbols were not just representations; they were believed to hold an active force that could influence the material world and the spiritual realm. For example, the Ankh, a symbol resembling a cross with a loop at the top, represented life and was often used in funerary texts to ensure immortality for the deceased. 
In Egyptian society, symbols were central to religious practices. The gods and goddesses, each represented by specific symbols and animal forms, embodied different aspects of life, death, and the cosmos. The sun god Ra, for instance, was depicted as a falcon, symbolizing both the sun’s power and the bird's dominance in the sky. The scarab beetle, a symbol of rebirth and protection, was commonly used in amulets and artifacts, signifying the cyclical nature of life and the hope for resurrection.

    An enthralling account of the World War Two exploits of the U.S. Seventh Army, from Sicily to France to the final assault on Hitler's mountain retreat, the Eagle's Nest. 
 
 
 
Although overshadowed by the other Allied armies fighting in Europe, the impact of the U.S. Seventh Army on the course of the Second World War deserves to be remembered. 
 
 
 
In Sicily, under the command of General George S. Patton, it swept away Axis forces as it captured village after village. It then moved northwards charging "up the gut" of Nazi-held Europe. 
 
 
 
Charles Whiting uncovers the actions of this overlooked army and its men—charging against dug-in German machine gun nests, launching ferocious attacks on the bloodied snows of the Alps, and fending off terrifying Panzer-led counterattacks. 
 
 
 
This book also draws attention to many of the fascinating figures who led it, from Patton to his successor as commander of the Seventh General Alexander "Sandy" Patch, to the numerous brilliant soldiers that fought under them, including the dynamic Lucian Truscott, daredevil Robert T. Frederick, aggressive "Iron Mike" O'Daniel, talented Frenchman Jacques LeClerc, and America's most decorated soldier, Audie Murphy.
