U.S. Army Campaigns of the Civil War. CMH Pub 75-2. The Civil War Begins: Opening Clashes, 1861 is the first in a series of campaign brochures commemorating our national sacrifices during the American Civil War. Author Jennifer Murray examines the successes and challenges of both the Union and the Confederate forces during the early days of the Civil War. Notable battles discussed include: Fort Sumter, South Carolina; Bull Run, Virginia; Wilson's Creek, Missouri; Cape Hatteras, North Carolina; and Port Royal, South Carolina. This brochure includes six maps and three tables.

This book represents eight years of effort in Iraq by American soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, coast guardsmen, Department of Defense civilians, contractors, and coalition partners who have made the sacrifice. This historical volume is not meant to document every event that has taken place over the years, but to highlight the service and sacrifice of our military and coalition partners who have created opportunities for the Iraqi people. Includes many color photographs.

Edited by J. Ford Huffman and Tammy S. Schultz. Featuring 4 reports and 25 personal essays from diverse voices-both straight and gay-representing U.S. Marine Corps, Army, Navy, and Air Force veterans and service members, this anthology examines the impact of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and its repeal on 20 September 2011 in order to benefit policy makers, historians, researchers, and general readers. Topics include lessons from foreign militaries, serving while openly gay, women at war, returning to duty, marching forward after repeal, and support for the committed same-sex partners and families of gay service members.

Reliable and Religious is the first story of a diverse group of dedicated clergymen, the U.S. Army Chaplains in the War of 1812. These courageous chaplains marched with the troops, fought Indians and the British, and ministered to their troops. Many of the chaplains served far from home for extended periods of time. Some were injured, wounded, or died while on military orders. They were a committed group of clergy dedicated to freedom from what they perceived as British oppression. Religiously, the chaplains represented every Protestant denomination in America in the early nineteenth century.
