Synopsis
Few works of military history are able to move between the battlefield and the university. But ""Warriors and Scholars"" takes the best from both worlds by presenting scholarship from eminent historians on topics of their specialty, alongside veteran accounts for the war being discussed. Editors Peter B. Lane and Ronald E. Marcello have added helpful contextual and commentary footnotes for student readers. The papers, originally from the University of North Texas's annual Military History Seminar, are organized chronologically from World War II to the present day, making this a modern war reader of great use for the professional and the student. Scholars and topics include David Glantz on the Soviet Great Patriotic War, 1941-1945; Robert Divine on the decision to use the atomic bomb; George Herring on Lyndon Baines Johnson as Commander-in-Chief; and Brian Linn comparing the U.S. war and occupation in Iraq with the 1899-1902 war in the Philippines. Veterans and their topics include flying with the ""Bloody 100th"" by John Luckadoo; an enlisted man in the Pacific theater of ""World War II"", by Roy Appleton; ""A POW in Vietnam"", by David Winn; and ""Cold War duty in Moscow"", by Charles Hamm.
