Vignettes of Military History. Volume 1
Abstract
This publication, "Vignettes of Military History," is the compendium of a series of individual papers started in 1974, which were published by the staff of the Military History Research Collection. The intent of the series is to show brief glimpses of the human side of military history to the soldier and civilian. The vignettes are meant to alert the reader to the rich texture of military history. Great commanders and men in the ranks, American and foreign, in war and peace, in modern times and throughout ages gone before, provide the scope of the series. The vividness, excitement, interest, pertinence - indeed, the very humanness - of military history set the theme. This volume reprints the first 50 Vignettes and makes them available for Army-wide distribution. The following wars and time periods are covered: Ancient History, Punic Wars, Medieval Period, Europe 1600-1800, Seven Years War, United States during the Colonial Period, the Revolutionary War, United States 1783-1812, Napoleonic Wars, War of 1812, United States 1816-1861, Seminole Wars, Civil War, United States 1865-1898, Europe 1871-1914, Boxer Rebellion, World War I, Russian Revolution, United States 1920s-1930s, World War II, and United States 1945-1976.
