This book analyses the origins, development and impact of British Army recruiting in the Scottish Highlands in the period from 1739 to 1815. It examines the interaction of government, landlords and tenantry. Recruiting is analysed within the context of rapid socio-economic change. The emphasis is on tenant reactions to recruiting, and the study concludes that this was a vital factor in bringing about change in the tenurial structure in the region. Both the decline of the tacksman and the emergence of crofting are linked to the process of regiment raising. Military recruiting involved a clear recognition on the part of the Highland landlords and tenantry that the Empire and the 'fiscal military state' offered alternative sources of revenue. Both groups 'colonised' various levels of the state's military machine. As a result of this close involvement, the government remained a vital influence in the area well after 1745, and a major player in the region's economy. Recruiting was not simply a residue of clanship, rather it was a form of commercial activity, analogous to kelping.

On a hot August night in 1944, a soldier’s body was discovered hanging by a rope from a cable spanning an obstacle course at Seattle’s Fort Lawton. The body was identified as Private Guglielmo Olivotto, one of the thousands of Italian prisoners of war captured and brought to America. The murder stunned the nation and the international community. Under pressure to respond quickly, the War Department convened a criminal trial at the fort, charging three African American soldiers with the lynching and firstdegree murder of Private Olivotto. Forty other soldiers were charged with rioting, accused of storming the Italian barracks on the night of the murder. All forty-three soldiers were black. There was no evidence implicating any of these men. Leon Jaworski, later the lead prosecuter at the Watergate trial, was appointed to prosecute the case and seek the death penalty for three men who were most assuredly innocent. Through his access to previously classified documents and the information gained from extensive interviews, journalist Jack Hamann tells the whole story behind World War II’s largest army court-martial—a story that raises important questions about how justice is carried out when a country is at war.

"Army Boys on German Soil: Our Doughboys Quelling the Mobs" by Homer Randall is a gripping tale set in the aftermath of World War I, as American soldiers find themselves stationed in Germany to restore order and stability after the armistice. The story follows a group of young American soldiers, known as the Army Boys, as they navigate the challenges of occupying a defeated nation and quelling civil unrest. Against the backdrop of a war-torn and economically devastated Germany, the Army Boys face a daunting task: maintaining peace and preventing further chaos. As they interact with the local population and witness the harsh realities of post-war life, they must demonstrate not only their military training but also their diplomacy and understanding. The novel delves into the complexities of the soldiers' experiences as they strive to fulfill their mission. It explores themes of resilience, camaraderie, and the moral dilemmas that arise when confronting a population grappling with defeat and despair. The soldiers' interactions with German civilians offer a nuanced portrayal of empathy and the human connections that transcend national boundaries. Homer Randall's storytelling vividly portrays the challenges and tensions of the post-war period, painting a realistic picture of a nation in turmoil. The narrative is filled with action, suspense, and moments of introspection as the Army Boys navigate their roles as peacekeepers and bridge-builders. "Army Boys on German Soil" is not only a gripping adventure but also a thought-provoking exploration of the aftermath of war and the complexities of occupation. Randall's narrative captures the spirit of the era and provides readers with a deeper understanding of the experiences of soldiers and civilians alike in the wake of a global conflict.

Napoleon delayed his attack at Waterloo to allow the mud to dry. Had he attacked earlier, he might have defeated Wellington before Blücher arrived. In November 1942, Russian mud stopped the Germans, who could not advance again until the temperature dropped low enough to freeze the mud. During the Vietnam War, "Project Popeye" was an American attempt to lengthen the monsoon and cause delays on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Soldiers have always known just how significant mud can be in war. But historians have not fully recognized its importance, and few have discussed the phenomenon in more than a passing manner. Only three books--Military Geography (by John Collins), Battling the Elements (by Harold Winters et al.), and Battlegrounds) (edited by Michael Stephenson)-- have addressed it at any length and then only as part of the entire environment's effect on the battlefield. None of these books analyzed mud's influence on the individual combatant. Mud: A Military History first defines the substance's very different types. Then it examines their specific effects on mobility and on soldiers and their equipment over the centuries and throughout the world. From the Russian rasputiza to the Southeast Asian monsoon, C. E. Wood demonstrates mud's profound impact on the course of military history. Citing numerous veterans' memoirs, archival sources, personal interviews, and historical sources, soldier-scholar Wood pays particular attention to mud's effect on combatants' morale, health, and fatigue. His book is for all infantrymen--past, present, or the clean, dry, comfortable armchair variety.
