Forward with Patton

The World War II Diary of Colonel Robert S. Allen

By: Robert S. Allen

Soldier, journalist, and Soviet spy Robert S. Allen (1900–1981) was a deeply controversial figure. After serving in France during World War I, he left the military, forged a successful career as a syndicated columnist, and even rose to become the Washington, DC, bureau chief for the Christian Science Monitor. During this period, he developed a sideline as a paid informant for the KGB. Still, Allen returned to the army following America's entry into World War II and served as General George S. Patton's chief of situation and executive officer for operations. He was considered such an authority on Patton after the war that Twentieth Century-Fox asked him to develop a film script about the general. In Forward with Patton, John Nelson Rickard presents a complete, annotated edition of Colonel Allen's World War II diary for 1944-1945. The entries reflect Allen's private thoughts on his experiences, provide insight into the employment of the Third Army staff, and survey the strengths and weaknesses of individual staff members. They also provide an invaluable and rare perspective of Patton, with whom Allen worked closely while gathering intelligence, and whom he deeply admired. At times objective and at others intensely personal, Forward with Patton offers a distinctive eyewitness account of one of the US military's most important armies by one of its most colorful soldiers.

Perceived Exertion Laboratory Manual

From Standard Practice to Contemporary Application

By: Luke Haile,Michael Gallagher, Jr.,Robert J. Robertson

This manual provides laboratory-based learning experiences in perceptually and psychosocially linked exercise assessment, prescription, and programming. The primary pedagogic outcome is the ability to use applied theory and practice in perceptual and psychosocial exercise assessment and program design to promote the adoption and maintenance of a physically active lifestyle, enhancing overall health fitness. Perceptual and psychosocial variables are presented in individual, stand-alone laboratory modules that can supplement existing curricula such as exercise and sport psychology, exercise physiology, exercise testing and prescription, and exercise training and conditioning. In addition, the complete modular set has a conceptual flow that allows its presentation as an entire, laboratory-based course. The laboratory modules are divided into three primary units: assessment (theoretical constructs, scales and procedures, tests), prescription (self-regulation, performance), and program evaluation. The manual uses a unique format in which case studies are embedded in the conceptual flow of each lab module facilitating translation of laboratory results to real-world application. The manual concludes with a discussion of perceptually and psychosocially linked exercise prescription and programming applications in public health, such as program monitoring and adherence.

Mussolini and the Origins of the Second World War, 1933-1940

Mussolini and the Origins of the Second World War, 1933-1940

By: Robert Mallett

The true nature of Mussolini's foreign policy during the late interwar period has been the subject of considerable controversy. Was Mussolini in reality pro-British, even as late as June 1940; or was his international policy more sinister and based on conquering a Fascist empire in North Africa and the Middle East? Robert Mallett makes use of much new archival evidence in order to answer this riddle of interwar history. Mallett argues that Mussolini had harboured imperial designs in the Mediterranean and Red Sea from as early as 1919, but that not until 1933, with the rise of Hitler, was it possible for Fascist Italy to pursue a programme of territorial expansion. Previously unpublished material also casts new light on the Nazi-Fascist relationship, revealing it to be at times paranoid, acrimonious and duplicitous on both sides. Although the book focuses on Italian policy, it provides an important reassessment of the Ethiopian Crisis, the Spanish Civil War, the Austro-German Anschluss, Munich and the run up to the Second World War. Mallett shows that it is erroneous to place excessive emphasis on the role of Adolf Hitler in subverting the interwar international order, and demonstrates that Mussolini was heavily implicated in the global conflict that erupted in September 1939.

Worker Protection

Labor's Efforts to Enforce Protections for Day Laborers Could Benefit from Better Data and Guidance

By: Robert E. Robertson,Lori Rectanus,Monika Gomez

Day laborers (DL) are individuals who generally work for different employers and get paid on a daily basis. They may congregate on street corners and wait for employers to offer them work. Little is actually known about these DL or their working conditions. DL may be used for the most hazardous work but not paid appropriate wages or provided safe working conditions. This report determines what is known about the DL workforce and identifies the factors that affect labor's ability to enforce the protections afforded DL under certain labor laws. The Labor Dept. should obtain better info. about the presence of DL or violations experienced by DL, and provide guidance to its local offices to ensure more consistent enforcement of protections for DL.

38th Virginia Infantry: Finding the Men in the 1860 Census

By: Robert Lee Snow

The 38th Virginia Infantry was organized in May and June of 1861, in the southern Virginia counties of Pittsylvania, Halifax, and Mecklenburg. Seven of the ten Companies were recruited in Pittsylvania, thus it was called the Pittsylvania Regiment. Less than a year prior, census takers unknowingly finished recording for posterity the men who would go to war. An in depth study shows seven Virginia counties and six North Carolina counties bordering the recruitment area of Pittsylvania, Halifax, and Mecklenburg would contribute men to the 38th Virginia. The 38th Virginia Infantry was in the field of battle from Yorktown in April of 1862, to Appomattox on April 9, 1865. The largest losses suffered were at battles of 7 Pines, Malvern Hill, Gettysburg, Chester Station, and the 2nd Battle of Drewry's Bluff. Herein is detail on the orders of battles, the prison camps endured, and the names of parents and wives of the soldiers, with focus on the census of 1860.

SSA Disability Decision Making

Additional Steps Needed to Ensure Accuracy and Fairness of Decisions at the Hearings Level

By: E. Robertson Robert

Historically, the proportion of the Social Security Administration's (SSA) disability benefits claims that were approved has been lower for African-Americans than for whites. In 1992, GAO found that racial differences, largely at the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) level, could not be completely explained by factors related to the decisionmaking process. This report examines how race & other factors influence ALJ decisions & assesses SSA's ability to ensure the accuracy & fairness of ALJ decisions. GAO also makes recommendations for way that SSA can enhance its ALJ quality assurance reviews. Charts & tables.

SSA and VA Disability Programs

Re-Examination of Disability Criteria Needed to Help Ensure Program Integrity

By: Robert E. Robertson,Brett S. Fallavollita

The 3 largest Fed. disability programs providing cash assistance, which are admin. by the Social Sec. Admin. (SSA) and the VA, in 2001 collectively provided $89 billion in cash benefits to 10 mill. adults with a physical or mental condition that reduced their earning capacity. SSA administers both the Disability Insur. (DI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. In the past the DI, SSI, and VA programs have been reported as being out-of-step with med. and tech. advances. This report reviews the extent to which DI, SSI, and VA's disability criteria have been updated based on: scientific advances, incl. med. and tech. innovations; and labor market changes, incl. the growth in service- and knowledge-based industries over mfg.-based industries.

57th Virginia Infantry: Finding the Men in the 1860 Census

By: Robert Lee Snow

The 57th Virginia Infantry was one of five regiments in General Lewis Armistead's Brigade in Pickett's Charge, at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 3, 1863. Prior to being Brigadier General, Armistead commanded the 57th Virginia. About 1,800 men joined the 57th, primarily from Franklin, Pittsylvania, Buckingham, Botetourt, and Albemarle County, but at least 15 bordering counties contributed men. Initial enlistments were from May-July of 1861, with the nucleus coming from 5 companies of Keen's Battalion. This publication gives detail on the battles, from Malvern Hill to Appomattox, and the prison camps many suffered through. The core of the book, however, is a quest for basic genealogical data on the men of the 57th Virginia, with a focus on their parents, wives, and location in 1860.
