Hogan William R (43 results)

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. A fourth-generation soldier tells the story of his father?s tank battalion, the ?Spearhead,? that selflessly led the charge on the front lines from Normandy into Germany?against impossible odds, technologically superior weaponry, and a fanatical enemy on its home turf?and the heroes whose sacrifice won World War II.At twenty-eight, Sam Hogan is one of the youngest lieutenant colonels in the US Army. The West Point graduate from Texas stands in the commander?s hatch of his Sherman tank, behind him a steel wedge of seventeen other Shermans of his tank battalion. Two weeks after the now-infamous D-Day landings, Sam is preparing to give the order to advance into the German defenses that enclose the Normandy beachheads. Ahead of Sam lies seemingly impossible odds for survival: technologically superior Nazi tanks, camouflaged anti-tank guns, and infantry armed with new anti-tank rockets. But Sam has prepared for this moment for the past seven years. With a guttural call to move out accompanied by diesel fumes and the squeak of tank treads, Sam and his men begin their long journey to liberate Europe?a journey from which many of them would not return.So begins the story of Sam Hogan and his colorful band of tanker heroes of the Third Armored Division?the ?Spearhead??as they battle on the front lines of some of the war?s toughest fights, from Normandy to the Elbe to the Battle of the Bulge. The soldiers of Task Force Hogan come from all walks of life. There are cooks, tankers, infantrymen, salty old sergeants, and wet-behind-the-ears lieutenants. In common, they have a sense of duty to each other and their country, and the struggle against the most sinister enemy modern history has ever produced.In Task Force Hogan, the story of Sam and his band of heroes comes to life through the writing of his son, Will Hogan?aided by never-before-seen letters, military dispatches, journal entries, and interviews with surviving family of the Task Force. These were the soldiers at the tip of the spear, brave enough to lead the charge and fight against insurmountable odds, and often paying the ultimate price, while liberating French villages and concentration camps as they rolled towards Germany to ultimately win the war. In the pages of this book, Will Hogan finally gives these unsung soldiers the voice and memorial that they all deserve.…

Paperback. Condition: New. In 1946, historian William Ransom Hogan, then a professor at the University of Oklahoma, published ""The Texas Republic: A Social and Economic History"". The book became an instant classic of Texas historical literature. In an era when scholarly writing on Texas history still gave disproportionate emphasis to military and political history and ""great men,"" this book emphasized the lives of ordinary people as well as of the legendary figures of the Republic period. Hogan knew how to be a ""revisionist"" in the best sense of the term, offering up fresh interpretations that, as he put it, challenged the ""pleasant myth"" of ""heroic"" Texas history. Yet he also managed to balance his revisionism with an acknowledgment that the Republic era did indeed embody much that was heroic, even legendary. Naturally, ""The Texas Republic"" is a product of its time. If written today, it would undoubtedly pay more attention to African Americans and Tejanos, for example. But whatever shortcomings, the book may have in the eyes of modern readers, even those shortcomings make the book valuable in the college classroom, because they serve as important points of discussion for students and professors.…
