FEATURES "Achilles: Bronze Age Warrior" — The hero of Homer's Iliad may have been a remarkably accurate portrayal of a daring raider in 1200 B.C. "The Archangel Michael, Here and Everywhere" — The battle for San Pietro Infine was a microcosm of the Italian campaign—a brutal uphill struggle with horrendous casualties that ended only after the Germans melted away to the next hillside village. "Unveiling World War II's Greatest Spy" — The two-year quest to pin down his identity took passion, perseverance, and a bit of luck. "With No Thought of Aggression" — Woodrow Wilson justified the invasion of Veracruz by stating that it was necessary to "maintain the dignity and authority of the United States," but the real reasons had more to do with protecting American interests south of the border. "Collecting the Horrors of War" — Not your average bubble gum cards, a stark series featuring gruesome depictions of combat includes some of the most improbable collector cards of all time. "The Smaller Dragon Strikes" — The battle between the French and Communists for control of Hanoi sparked Vietnam's decades-long national nightmare. "The Tragic Pursuit of Total Victory" — Hindenburg and Ludendorff relied on martial spirit for a final push on the Western Front, with disastrous results. "Red River War: Last Uprising in the Texas Panhandle" — Consigned to reservations, with their way of life threatened, the Cheyennes and Comanches protested the only way they knew how. "The Father of West Point" — The U.S. Military Academy was as ineffective as the peacetime army when Colonel Sylvanus Thayer arrived in July 1817, but he left it with a reputation for imparting character as well as knowledge. DEPARTMENTS "Letters to the Editor" "Ask MHQ" Concerning responses to Viking raids" "Tactical Exercises: Hussars at the Gates of Berlin" — A lightning raid that captured Prussia's capital city embarrassed Frederick the Great and made cavalry leader Andreas Hadik a man to "Watch out for." "Fighting Words: Terms from Military History" — Our lexicographer considers terms arising during World War II, and in the postwar era. "In Review" — Reviews of Graham A. Cosmas' The United States Army in Vietnam: MACV: The Joint Command in the Years of Escalation, 1962-1967 and Peter J. Heather's The Fall of the Roman Empire. | |
