Military Manners and Customs - Unveiling the Legacy of Military Etiquette and Honor

James Anson Farrer

Summary

In "Military Manners and Customs," James Anson Farrer presents an intricate examination of the social and ceremonial practices within military culture during the 19th century. Farrer'Äôs prose is characterized by its meticulous detail and rich historical context, offering readers a captivating glimpse into the norms, rituals, and behaviors that defined military life. Drawing upon a wealth of firsthand observations and extensive research, the book serves as both a sociological study and a historical narrative, painting a broad and vivid picture of the intertwining of discipline and camaraderie in military contexts. James Anson Farrer, a military historian and an officer himself, possesses both scholarly training and personal experience that lend authority and authenticity to his work. His extensive travels and interactions with various military groups informed his insights into the customs and practices that shaped military identities. Farrer's dedication to documenting these aspects reflects a deeper concern for the often-overlooked cultural dimensions of military life, capturing a vital part of social history that would otherwise remain obscured in traditional military studies. I highly recommend "Military Manners and Customs" to scholars, history enthusiasts, and lay readers interested in the nuanced interactions of military life. This book not only enriches one's understanding of military culture but also offers valuable reflections on broader societal norms and human behaviors.

Cartel Nation - How Mexico's...

Davis Truman

Power. Money. Blood. Influence.
What began as smuggling routes through the desert has evolved into one of the most powerful underground empires on Earth — a parallel nation built on fear, loyalty, and staggering wealth.
In Cartel Nation, readers are taken deep inside the hidden machinery of Mexico’s drug cartels — a world where criminal networks rival governments, warlords command armies, and pop culture glorifies the very violence that terrorizes entire regions. Through gripping storytelling and meticulous investigation, this book unveils how cartels moved from the shadows into the center of politics, business, and everyday life.
Discover:
• How Mexico’s cartels grew from small-time traffickers into transnational corporations of crime.
• The secret alliances between drug lords, politicians, police, and billionaires.
• How narco culture — from music and film to religion and fashion — turned the cartels into global icons.
• The brutal wars fought for territory, power, and legitimacy — and why they can’t simply be “won.”
From the dusty streets of Sinaloa to the halls of power in Mexico City, Cartel Nation traces a chilling and fascinating rise — a story of corruption, resilience, and the dark side of globalization.
Suppose you’re fascinated by true crime, geopolitics, or the human cost of power. In that case, this book will leave you stunned—and unable to look away.
Perfect for fans of Don Winslow, Ioan Grillo, and Netflix’s Narcos, Cartel Nation reveals the truth behind the myth — and why the cartel era is far from over.

But his best stories are from the war. From having to translate a dinner for an inebriated superior using his scant French, to getting chewed out by none other than General George S. Patton, Canfield shares a wealth of experiences from his WWII tour of the European theater. 
 
 
 
In Small Victories in a Great Big War, John H. Canfield shows that half the battle is surviving, and that he did. With bravery and flair, Canfield returned home to Connecticut with more than a few amusing anecdotes.
