История полка изложена в строго хронологическом порядке. «В описании событий одновременных первое место заняла политическая обстановка в той мере, в какой она коснулась полка, и затем уже, как результат ее, – полковая деятельность». Немаловажная роль отведена автором описанию личностей полковых командиров и офицеров, их взаимоотношениям, условиям жизни полка и т.п.

For South Koreans, the twenty years from the early 1960s to late 1970s were the best and worst of times―a period of unprecedented economic growth and of political oppression that deepened as prosperity spread. In this masterly account, Carter J. Eckert finds the roots of South Korea’s dramatic socioeconomic transformation in the country’s long history of militarization―a history personified in South Korea’s paramount leader, Park Chung Hee.

Many troops passed through Southampton on their way to the Western Front and it played a vital role as a staging post for departing troops and those returning badly injured. Many of men from Southampton also joined up and the enormity of human sacrifice that the families of Southampton were committed to as the war stretched out over the next four years was immense.

Although Kipling's storied water carrier had mighty little in the way of a uniform but much in the nature of personal valor and devotion, he was the exception rather than the rule when it comes to esprit de corps. A review of martial history reveals that an ignorant, well-officered mob may be kept going as long as there is any possibility of victory.

The Battle of Midway was, on paper, an improbable victory for the smaller, less experienced American navy and air force, so much so that it was quickly described as “a miracle.” Yet fortune favored the Americans at Midway, and the conventional wisdom has it that the Americans’ lucky streak continued as the war in the Pacific turned against the Japanese. This new history demonstrates that luck, let alone miracles, had little to do with it.

Even though Fernandina was tucked away in the far southern reaches of the Confederacy, Fort Clinch had been abandoned to Federal forces by March 1862. It proved a boon to the Union war effort, and the island became a haven for runaway slaves, with many joining the Federal army.
