Excerpt from Our Conquests in the Pacific U. S. Troopship Australia, May 25, 1898. - Fading away in the blue mist far astern the green-clad cliffs of the Golden Gate die out of sight in the closing day. Ahead, just off the starboard bow, the Farallones rise dim and blue in the dying light. Already their wheeling flashlight throws its friendly beam out to welcome and to warn us. Beyond them the sky line and the broad Pacific, on whose long-backed swells the trooper is already heaving and rolling in a fashion that makes the land-trained passengers take warning of the fate that is before them. The Australia is in the lead. Behind lumbers the big City of Peking, with the First California and the naval detachment aboard. Still further behind the slow-going City of Sydney rolls along. Aboard her are three companies of the Oregon regiment, for whom there was not room on the Australia, and three companies of the Fourteenth Regular Infantry, just down from Alaska, where they were part of the command of Colonel Thomas M. Anderson, now Brigadier-General of volunteers, and in command of this expedition. Army headquarters are on the Australia, with General Anderson, but the navy is in charge of the expedition, aud so the Peking, where Commander Gibson is in command, is the flagship of the little squadron. We are to proceed with the three ships in echelon, the Peking leading, the Australia off her port quarter, and the Sydney on the Australia's port quarter. So now as we pass the barallones the Australia slows down for her comrades to take position. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Borrowing from the old adage, we might say that to the victor belongs the history. One of the privileges gained in colonizing the New World was the power to tell the definitive stories of the struggle. The heroic texts depicting the discovery of territories, early encounters with indigenous peoples, and the ultimate subjection of land and cultures to European nation-states all but erase the vanquished. In Forgotten Conquests, Gustavo Verdesio argues that these master narratives represent only one of many possible histories and suggests a way of reading them in order to discover the colonial subjects who did not produce documents. Verdesio read the key texts relating to the struggles for possession of River Plate's northern shore -- present-day Uruguay. He probes them for traces of conflicts in meaning and the agency of Amerindians, gauchos, Africans, and women -- the subjected peoples that the texts try to silence. The narrators, speaking for their culture, assume the role of knowing subject, repressing all other voices, epistemologies, and acts of resistance. Verdesio's tasks are to listen for those that the Europeans represented as an unintelligible Other, to draw them into the foreground, and to decolonize their histories. By unpacking these texts, Verdesio shows that from the European point of view, the colonial encounter draws the New World into historical time and ushers in a new concept of knowledge. For the first time, the historian's role is to discover, to interpret eyewitness testimonies and first-hand experience, to write 'a new history of admirable things.' Even in this reconstruction of historical truth, Old World ideology drives the narratives, whose chief purpose is to justify conquest. Forgotten Conquests lays bare the discursive strategies that generated the founding texts of Latin American history and engulfed its subjected peoples in silence for 500 years.

The Japanese conquest of the Pacific comprised of a complex series of widely scattered operations; their intent was to neutralize American, Commonwealth, and Dutch forces, seize regions rich in economic resources, and secure an outer defense line for their empire. Although their conquest was successful, the forces deployed from Japan and China were not always ideally trained, equipped and armed. The South Seas and tropics proved challenging to these soldiers who were used to milder climates, and they were a less lethal enemy on the Chinese mainland. This book examines the overall structure of the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA), the forces in existence at the beginning of World War II and the organization of the forces committed to the conquest of the Pacific.
