Through the Valley

Vietnam, 1967-1968

By: James F. Humphries

The fierce close combat in the remote areas of South Vietnam's northern provinces in 1967-1968 -- the battles of Hiep Duc, March 11, Nhi Ha, and Hill 406 -- has been strangely under-reported slice of the Vietnam War. Through the valley brings those battles into ... focus, chronicling the efforts of the ... Americal Division and the 196th Light Infantry Brigade ... Colonel Humphries draws on both his own combat experience and the eyewitness reports of fifty former veterans"--Jacket.

Fighting in Vietnam

The Experiences of the U.S. Soldier

By: James Westheider

The Vietnam War differed from previous American wars of the twentieth century. It was an undeclared and limited war that divided the country and was fought disproportionately by minorities and working-class whites, many of whom did not want to serve. This is the story of the men and women who participated in this generation-defining conflict overseas and stateside -- a war of search-and-destroy missions and combat with an ill-defined enemy, but also a war of drug use, fragging, and antiwar protests ... James Westheider captures the many dimensions of what it was like to fight in the Vietnam War"--Page 4 of cover.

Black Baseball, 1858-1900

A Comprehensive Record of the Teams, Players, Managers, Owners and Umpires

By: James E. Brunson III

This is one of the most important baseball books to be published in a long time, taking a comprehensive look at black participation in the national pastime from 1858 through 1900. It provides team rosters and team histories, player biographies, a list of umpires and games they officiated and information on team managers and team secretaries. Well known organizations like the Washington's Mutuals, Philadelphia Pythians, Chicago Uniques, St. Louis Black Stockings, Cuban Giants and Chicago Unions are documented, as well as lesser known teams like the Wilmington Mutuals, Newton Black Stockings, San Francisco Enterprise, Dallas Black Stockings, Galveston Flyaways, Louisville Brotherhoods and Helena Pastimes. Player biographies trace their connections between teams across the country. Essays frame the biographies, discussing the social and cultural events that shaped black baseball. Waiters and barbers formed the earliest organized clubs and developed local, regional and national circuits. Some players belonged to both white and colored clubs, and some umpires officiated colored, white and interracial matches. High schools nurtured young players and transformed them into powerhouse teams, like Cincinnati's Vigilant Base Ball Club. A special essay covers visual representations of black baseball and the artists who created them, including colored artists of color who were also baseballists.
