When the Korean War broke out in 1950, the Marine Corps was ordered to deploy an air-ground brigade in less than ten days, even though no such brigade existed at the time. Assembled from the woefully understrength 1st Marine Division and 1st Marine Air Wing units, the Brigade shipped out only six days after activation, sailed directly to Korea, was in combat within ninety-six hours of landing and, despite these enormous handicaps and numerically superior enemy forces, won every one of its engagements and helped secure the Pusan Perimeter. Despite its remarkable achievements, the Brigade's history has largely been lost amid accounts of the sweeping operations that followed. Its real history has been replaced by myths that attribute its success to tough training, great conditioning, unit cohesion, and combat-experienced officers. None of which were true. T. X. Hammes now reveals the real story of the Brigade's success, prominently citing the Corps' crucial ability to maintain its ethos, culture, and combat effectiveness during the period between World War II and Korea, when its very existence was being challenged. By studying the Corps from 1945 to 1950, Hammes shows that it was indeed the culture of the Corps-a culture based on remembering its storied history and learning to face modern challenges-that was responsible for the Brigade's success. The Corps remembered the human factors that made it so successful in past wars, notably the ethos of never leaving another marine behind. At the same time, the Corps demonstrated commendable flexibility in adapting its doctrine and operations to evolutions in modern warfare. In particular, the Corps overcame the air-ground schism that marked the end of World War II to excel at close air support. Despite massive budget and manpower cuts, the Corps continued to experiment and learn even at it clung to its historical lodestones. This approach was validated during the Brigade's trial by fire. More than a mere battle history, Forgotten Warriors gets to the heart of marine culture to show fighting forces have to both remember and learn. As today's armed forces face similar challenges, this book confirms that culture as much as technology prepares America's fighting men and women to answer their country's call.

They weren't allowed to own land or vote, yet in almost every Canadian army unit Aboriginal soldiers fought alongside their non-Native countrymen. Forgotten Warriors brings to life the important contributions of Canada's Native veterans and the effects that service had on their lives and the lives of their communities. Archival materials and dramatic re-creations are woven together with poignant interviews, as surviving Aboriginal veterans share their unforgettable memories of war and recount their determined struggle for equality when they returned.

The definitive history of women in war, revealing how women have always been an essential part of combat From Boudicca’s rebellion to the war in Ukraine, battlefields have always contained a surprising number of women. Some formed all-female armies, like the Dahomey Mino of West Africa; some fought disguised as men; some mobilized in times of national survival, like the Soviet flying aces known as the Night Witches. International relations expert Sarah Percy unearths the stories of these forgotten warriors. She sets the historical record straight, revealing that women’s exclusion from active combat in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is a blip in a much longer narrative of female inclusion. Deeply researched and brilliantly told, Forgotten Warriors turns the notion of war as a man’s game on its head and restores women to their rightful place on the front lines of history.

Two generations of one family, two of whom fight in World War 1 at The Dardanelles and The Somme; two are World War II bomber crew, one of whom was killed when his Stirling went down in the English Channel after a raid on Turin in 1942 and his pilot won the VC; another was a soldier in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders captured at Calais in 1940 only to escape in the last few months of the war, and one was a nursing sister captured by the Japanese in Singapore in 1942. She survived brutal PoW imprisonment, then met and married a Polish bomber pilot at a medal presentation in Buckingham Palace in 1946. The seventh was Sir Billy Snedden who left school at 15 without even a leaving certificate, joined the RAAF in 1945 too late to fly but went on to study law, became a barrister and a prominent politician who led the Australian opposition to the 1972 election, losing and failing to become prime minister by the narrowest of margins. Of the seven, three died in battle or of their war wounds, three survived to lead normal family lives and Snedden went on to political success and fame only to die in bed with a lover at the age of 61. All characters lived fought and died as described in this book.
