Blueskystorians or whatever we call you, I need help.
I'm trying to come up with a list of US Military History books for my students to pick one from, but I don't really follow mid to late 20th century military scholarship 😬😬
This is my list please add/rip to shreds?

Colonial North America and Revolution Wayne Lee, The Cutting-Off Way: Indigenous Warfare in Eastern North America, 1500-1800, 300 pages Vaughn Scribner, Under Alien Skies: Environment, Suffering, and ...

Coucou les blueskystorians et wikipédistes : il y a un énorme trou à combler sur le wikipedia francophone, pas d'article sur Judah Magnes, qui le mériterait pourtant bien (intellectuel juif critique du sionisme et plaidant pour un Etat binational juif-arabe en Palestine dans les années 1920/30)

This may well be the first example of a Soldier's Alphabet — a blend of satire, nationalism, and wit — dating to 1804, well before their common appearance in #FWW trench journals. Anyone got an earlier example?

Question de médiévale à laquelle je n’ai pas su bien repondre et que je soumets aux blueskystorians : pendant de Grand schisme pontifical est-ce que les chrétiens d’orient (grecs) ont choisi leur camp? Spontanément j’aurais dit Rome, si quelqu’un sait? Thanks
