Abstract

Lange Zeit war das Phänomen der römischen Kavallerie nur eine Fußnote in der römischen Militärgeschichte. Kein Wunder, denn die Erklärung für die relativ kurze Periode der rein römischen Kavallerieverbände scheint auf einen flüchtigen Blick einleuchtend: Die Römer waren keine besonders guten Kavalleristen und wurden im Zuge der marianischen Reformen zum Wohle des gesamtrömischen Militärapparates durch bessere Kavalleristen ersetzt. Diese gängige These hatte lange Bestand und wurde, vielleicht mangels Interesse oder gerade ob ihrer bequemen Einfachheit, kaum hinterfragt, obwohl doch deutliche A

Abstract

This is the story of the last mounted American troops to see action in battle, when, in 1941, six-hundred men and their horses held off the Japanese invasion of Luzon in the Philippines just long enough to allow General Douglas MacArthur's forces to withdraw to Bataan. This stirring account of the Philippine campaign is military history at its best.

Abstract

Revered by some, notorious to others, Nathan Bedford Forrest has long been considered one of the greatest soldiers of the American Civil War. Historian Robert Browning introduces readers to the facts and myths thatsurround this controversial man. Responsible for his family at a young age, Forrest scratched out a living on the frontier wilderness of Tennessee and Mississippi. He quickly developed traitsùself-reliance, decisiveness, and assertivenessùthat would later make him famous. Whether he was stalking a panther or challenging a gun-wielding assailant, Forrest realized that boldness was hal
