Excerpt from The Military History of the Virginia Military Institute: From 1839 to 1865 With Appendix, Maps, and Illustrations The preparation of this strictly military history of the Virginia Military Institute has indeed been a work of love, and the author hopes the story may possess for others the absorbing interest it held for him. This history may rightly be styled tradition sifted out and reduced to fact, for it has been written from the official registers, Superintendent's reports, proceedings of the Board of Visitors, "Rebellion Records," original field orders and correspondence, and other contemporaneous records, and little has been accepted save upon such authority, and nothing which has not passed the critical eye of Brigadier-General Scott Shipp, Superintendent-Emeritus, who has been closely connected with the Institute since September, 1856, and who has seen every class graduate except fifteen. The "History of the Virginia Military Institute" by General Francis H. Smith, recently published, is so brief and incomplete that, while it afforded a valuable outline, it did not even hint at many interesting and valuable facts. It was but a preliminary draft to a more complete work which, unfortunately, General Smith did not live long enough to prepare. With General Smith's history as an outline and General Shipp's guiding hand upon the author's pen, results were possible which might not otherwise have been accomplished. But then there were two others who contributed much of what is valuable in the work. Their names need only be mentioned in order to apprise the reader of the extent of their influence upon whatever of accuracy the narrative may possess. Captain B. A. Colonna, Cadet Captain of Company "D" in the Battle of New Market, and who served as a cadet in the Corps, from July, 1860, until the destruction of the Institute, possesses a fund of information unexcelled by that of any living member of the War Corps. This he placed at the disposal of the author. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This study presents a comprehensive look at a complex man who exhibited an unfaltering commitment to the military and to his soldiers but whose career was marked by controversy. As a senior Army officer in World Wars I and II, Lt. Gen. Edward M. Almond lived by the adage that "units don't fail, leaders do." He was chosen to command the 92nd Infantry Division -- one of only two African American divisions to see combat during WWII -- but when the infantry performed poorly in Italy in 1944--1945, he asserted that it was due to their inferiority as a race and not their maltreatment by a separate but unequal society. He would later command the X Corps during the Inchon invasion that changed the course of the Korean War, but his accomplishments would be overshadowed by his abrasive personality and tactical mistakes. This book addresses how Almond's early education at the Virginia Military Institute, with its strong Confederate and military influences, shaped his military prowess. Presented is a thorough assessment of Almond's military record; how he garnered respect for his aggressiveness, courage in combat, strong dedication, and leadership; and how he was affected by the loss of his son and son-in-law in combat during WWII. Following the war, Almond would return to the US to assume command of the US Army War College, but would find himself unprepared for a changing world. This volume asserts that since his death, his bigoted views have come to dominate his place in history and undermine his military achievements.
