A Forgotten Front - The Russo-Turkish War in the Caucasus (1914-1917)

Morar Bogdan

Summary

Witness to numerous battles throughout history, the Caucasus endured another harsh war between November 1914 and December 1917. This work, about "a quasi - ignored front, makes known to the public, to a greater extent, a particularly important segment of the history of the First World War in the eastern parts of Europe, at the confluence with Asia, a front that had a considerable role in the equation of the deployment of forces between Turkey and Russia" ( prof. univ. dr. Ioan Bolovan). At the same time, the book also deals with other related topics: the military operations in Persia (1915 - 1917), the connection of the Russian front in the Caucasus with the British one in Mesopotamia (Iraq) and, last but not least, the deportation and massacre of Armenians in Eastern Anatolia.

Where the South Lost the War -...

Kendall D Gott

This in-depth Civil War study examines two early Union victories that were instrumental in deciding the conflict’s ultimate outcome. Some historians argue that the Civil War was decided in February 1862 with the collapse of the Confederate defenses of Forts Henry and Donelson on the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers. This ambitious offensive opened the whole Tennessee Valley to Union invasion and control, effectively cutting the Confederacy in two.  In domino fashion, the Confederates lost Nashville and central and western Tennessee. Memphis eventually fell, and the upper stretch of the Mississippi itself was brought under Union control. During this period, General Ulysses S. Grant came to prominence, putting him in place to lead the Union to victory. Where the South Lost the War is a major contribution to Civil war literature. Shedding light on an overlooked campaign and revising conventional judgments on key players and events, author Kendall D. Gott provides a detailed, incisive, and even controversial study of the operation’s events.
