Summary

In "The Battle of the Somme 'Äì First & Second Phase (Complete Edition 'Äì Volumes 1&2)," John Buchan delivers a meticulously crafted historical account of one of World War I's most pivotal battles. Through a blend of vivid imagery and compelling narrative, Buchan captures both the grand strategies and the human experiences of soldiers on the front lines. His literary style is marked by a rich, descriptive language that evokes the grim realities of warfare while also exploring the psychological implications for both combatants and the broader society. Situated within the context of early 20th-century literature, Buchan'Äôs work serves as both a historical document and a reflection on the human spirit amidst conflict. John Buchan, a prominent Scottish author, politician, and soldier, drew upon his own experiences and insights to write this important historical text. His background in law and journalism provided him with a keen analytical perspective on the military and societal ramifications of the war. Notably, Buchan's service as a soldier during World War I informed his understanding of the battlefield realities, enabling him to present a nuanced view of the Somme offensive that is both personal and informative. This comprehensive edition is highly recommended for readers seeking a deeper understanding of the Great War's complexities. Buchan'Äôs vivid narrative not only enriches the historical landscape but also prompts reflection on themes of sacrifice, heroism, and the enduring impacts of war. Ideal for both scholars and casual readers alike, it stands as an essential contribution to World War I literature.

    “Will give readers a feeling for what it was like to fight in the Global War on Terror and the kind of young people who stepped forward to do it.” —On Point: The Journal of Army HistoryKelly Eads joined the 101st Airborne Division soon after 9/eleven, his experience reflecting the patriotism and commitment of so many young men and women who responded to the attack. He deployed to Iraq twice with the 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment.Early in their deployment to Iraq, the 2nd Battalion brought the fight directly to the enemy by setting up patrol bases in the local areas where they lived and operated. Soon they built a reputation for themselves, becoming known to the enemy as the Black Hearts—The 502nd had been distinguished on the battlefield by black hearts on their helmets since World War II. Their Scout Platoon became known as Painted Guns due to their practice of camouflaging their rifles.During Eads’ deployments, the battalion would experience thousands of Improvised Explosive Devices and firefights. They would spend countless hours in blistering 120-degree desert heat, controlling roads and preventing enemy freedom of movement; and would dedicate months to hunting enemy mortar teams and terror cells.With the help of Dan Morgan, an Infantry officer who deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan as a commander and operations officer, Eads takes the reader on a rollercoaster of combat experiences during the hunt for the most violent terrorist in Iraq, Abū Muṣʻab Zarqāwī, bringing to life the painstaking and horrid details of combat in a sectarian war. He tells the story of the soldiers’ camaraderie, built through adversity, and the love of family that sustained them.
