The Texas 36th Division — A History

By: Bruce Brager

Here is an encompassing and insightful history of the distinguished 36th Division, which traces back to the 1870s and officially formed for World War I. In the Second World War, the 36th led the first contested Allied landing in Europe and gave the Fifth Army “the key” to Rome. Readers interested in early Texas and Western history, the Civil War, Reconstruction, the world wars, and the continuing debate over the best structure for the American military, will enjoy this exciting adventure story. The 36th Division was formed in 1917, just after the United States entered World War I. The division's documented ancestors in the Texas National Guard, the Texas Volunteer Guard, and the Texas militia trace back to the 1870s. The tradition in which the 36th played so great a part even predates the 1836 defense of the Alamo. This history explores the division's origins and also goes "over there" with the 36th for combat in World War I, chronicles the division in state National Guard service between the world wars, and witnesses its federalization in 1940, followed by combat training in 1940-1942 and combat action in Italy and France during the Second World War.

Grant's Victory

How Ulysses S. Grant Won the Civil War

By: Bruce L. Brager

Two of the great themes of the Civil War are how Lincoln found his war-winning general in Ulysses Grant and how Grant finally defeated Lee. Grant’s Victory intertwines these two threads in a grand narrative that shows how Grant made the difference in the war. At Eastern theater battlefields from Bull Run to Gettysburg, Union commanders—whom Lincoln replaced after virtually every major battle—had struggled to best Lee, either suffering embarrassing defeat or failing to follow up success. Meanwhile, in the West, Grant had been refining his art of war at places like Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Chattanooga, and in early 1864, Lincoln made him general-in-chief. Arriving in the East almost deus ex machina, and immediately recognizing what his predecessors never could, Grant pressed Lee in nearly continuous battle for the next eleven months—a series of battles and sieges that ended at Appomattox.

The Iron Curtain

The Cold War in Europe

By: Bruce L. Brager

Visiting Central Europe, in 1962, a visitor would not see a real "Iron Curtain." There was no huge piece of grim drapery splitting Europe between Communist dictatorships and democracies. The Iron Curtain represented the Central European part of the Cold War, the generally peaceful, but highly dangerous, forty-year competition between the United States and its allies and the Soviet Union and its allies. The Iron Curtain symbolically represented the attempt to permanently, artificially, and arbitrarily split one part of Central Europe from the other. Although there was no real iron curtain, there was lots of steel in the form of barbed wire, ground radar, watchtowers, and machine guns in the hands of troops willing to use them. The boundary between democracy and totalitarianism was clear. This book tells the story of the Iron Curtain, and the Cold War it so vividly represented, from the start of World War II to its end with the dramatic fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Book jacket.

John Kerry

Senator from Massachusetts

By: Bruce L. Brager

John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, came from a family with a tradition of public service. Educated in Europe and Massachusetts, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy even before he graduated from Yale in 1966. After serving in the Tonkin Gulf, Kerry transferred to a swift boat that patrolled the dangerous Mekong River. Wounded three times in combat, Kerry earned a Silver Star and three Purple Hearts in five months. Returning home to the United States, he helped organize a group of Vietnam veterans who opposed the war. Kerry's first foray into politics was unsuccessful. He enrolled in law school, served as a prosecutor, and was elected lieutenant governor of Massachusetts in 1982. Elected to the U.S. Senate in 1984, he served twenty years before running for president in 2004. After a hard-fought primary campaign, he won the Democratic nomination but was unable to beat the incumbent in a national election. John Kerry's life and career traverses the politics and the conflicts of the last fifty years. Book jacket.
