Book Description
An award-winning cavalry historian shares a myth-busting look at how the Union cavalry surpassed its Confederate counterpart and helped win the Civil War. The Army of the Potomac’s mounted units suffered early in the Civil War at the hands of the horsemen of the South. However, by 1863, the Federal cavalry had evolved into a fearsome fighting machine. Despite the numerous challenges occupying officers and politicians, as well as the harrowing existence of troopers in the field, the Northern cavalry helped turn the tide of war much earlier than is generally acknowledged. In this expertly researched volume, historian Eric J. Wittenberg describes how the Union cavalry became the largest, best-mounted, and best-equipped force of horse soldiers the world had ever seen. The 1863 consolidation of numerous scattered Federal units created a force to be reckoned with—a single corps ten thousand strong. Wittenberg’s research thoroughly debunks the narrative that the Confederate “cavaliers” were the superior force.

Book Description
Join Major Alan Hawke on a journey of self-discovery in Richard Savage's novel, 'A Fascinating Traitor.' Set in Geneva, Switzerland, Hawke finds himself at a crossroads in life - penniless, directionless, and at the end of his rope. As he contemplates suicide, the beauty of the scenery around him inspires him to reflect on his past as a soldier in India and his adventurous exploits in Japan and China. Despite his struggles, Hawke is portrayed as a suave and cultured man who catches the attention of women but remains disillusioned with life. With richly detailed settings and a complex protagonist, this book is a compelling exploration of one man's search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world.
