  • - A New Look at George Armstrong Custer versus Jeb Stuart in the Battle's Climactic Cavalry Charges
    av Phillip Thomas Tucker
    401

    George Armstrong Custer is famous for his fatal defeat at the Little Bighorn in 1876, but CusterΓÇÖs baptism of fire came during the Civil War. After graduating last in the West Point class of 1861, Custer served from the First Battle of Bull Run (only a month after graduation) through Appomattox, where he witnessed the surrender. But CusterΓÇÖs true rise to prominence began at Gettysburg in 1863. On the eve of the Battle of Gettysburg, only twenty-three years old and barely two years removed from being the goat of his West Point class, Custer received promotion to brigadier general and command ΓÇô his first direct field command ΓÇô of the Michigan Cavalry Brigade, the ΓÇ£Wolverines.ΓÇ¥ Now that he held general rank, Custer felt comfortable wearing the distinctive, some said gaudy, uniform that helped skyrocket him into fame and legend. However flashy he may have been in style, Custer did not disappoint his superiors, who promoted him in a search for more aggressive cavalry officers. At approximately noon on July 3, 1863, Custer and his men heard enemy cannon fire: StuartΓÇÖs signal to Lee that he was ready for action. Thus began the melee that was East Cavalry Field at Gettysburg. Much back and forth preceded CusterΓÇÖs career-defining action. An hour or two into the battle, after many of his cavalrymen had been reduced to hand-to-hand infantry-style fighting, Custer ordered a charge of one of his regiments and led it into action himself, screaming one of the battleΓÇÖs most famous lines: ΓÇ£Come on, you Wolverines!ΓÇ¥ Around three oΓÇÖclock, Stuart mounted a final charge, which mowed down Union cavalry ΓÇô until it ran into CusterΓÇÖs Wolverines, who stood firm, with Custer wielding a sword at their head, and broke the ConfederatesΓÇÖ last attack.In a book combining two popular subjects, Tucker recounts the story of Custer at Gettysburg with verve, shows how the Custer legend was born on the fields of the warΓÇÖs most famous battle, and offers eye-opening new perspectives on GettysburgΓÇÖs overlooked cavalry battle.

  • - The Air and Sea Invasion of Normandy in Photos
    av Nicholas A. Veronico
    381

    Those who witnessed it never forgot it:  the great armada of Allied ships that filled the English Channel on D-Day, June 6, 1944. From battleships, cruisers, and destroyers down to the much smaller landing ships and landing craft, these nearly 7,000 vessels bombarded the Normandy coast, ferried men, tanks, and equipment across the channel, and landed 150,000 troops—under withering German fire—on Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword beaches in a single day. In numbers and scope, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history.Meanwhile, some 12,000 aircraft flew above the sea, a dizzying assortment of fighters and bombers, transports, recon craft, and gliders. Taking off from air fields in England, they dropped thousands of paratroopers and even vehicles, bombed roads and German positions miles inland, provided vital intelligence, and attacked any German planes that were able to take to the skies. It was the largest single-day aerial operation in history.And yet these important—and impressive—aspects of D-Day haven’t received the coverage they deserve, having been overshadowed by the fighting on the beaches. Veronico assembles photos of both the air and sea components of the D-Day invasion, giving the sailors and airmen their due and giving modern readers a vivid sense of what this monumental day was like in the air and at sea.
