CAVE CANEM: pg 254 is out of order. It is the page for May 3, 1945, and is placed in among the 1944 pages.

This book does not have every single front page of the New York Times during the war years of WWI and WWII, nor does it explain why the pages chosen were chosen. About half the book is devoted to WWI front pages, the rest to WWII front pages.

In addition to these front pages (which need to be read by young eyes, or with a magnifying glass - the book is oversize but the print is still pretty teeny tiny) there are some blown up photos of various events. These photos come from other sources, archives, etc.

Gentlemen of War, by Dan van der Vat

Gentlemen of War: The Amazing Story of Captain Karl von Muller and the SMS Emden, by Dan van der Vat
William Morrow and Company, Inc 1983
published in England first, as The Last Corsair
198 pages, plus 8 pages of photos, Sources, and index

Front Matter
Gentlemen of War is a dramatic but strictly factual rendering of what is perhaps the most exciting naval adventure of World War I: the lone campaign of the German light cruiser SMS Emden against the British Empire in the Indian Ocean. For his research author Dan van der Vat went back to British and German naval records to uncover totally fresh information to support this account of how one raider without a base came to be hunted by seventy-eight British and Allied warships.

The amazing feats of the Emden were accomplished in major part because of the genius of her captain, Karl von Müller, who became a hero at sea in the same way the Red Baron von Richthofen did in the air. Muller's valor was recognized not only in Germany and among neutral nations but also by the British themselves, who regarded him as the quintessence of "the gallant enemy." His ship swiftly turned into a legend whose aura was enhanced by the courtesy of its crew and by their skill in military piracy. When the Emden was finally overwhelmed by the huge odds against her, The Times and other British papers expressed relief that Müller had survived!

But before her capture, the Emden wreaked havoc throughout the Indian Ocean, which, in naval terms, was supposed to be a British lake. Surviving on coal and provisions seized from enemy ships, the Emden delayed troop movements, sank two warships, held up twenty-one British merchantmen, sending sixteen to the bottom, abducted four colliers, shelled Madras, causing a huge oil fire, and made a daring hit-and-run raid on Penang.

Nor does the story end with the Emden's surrender. When the ship went to fight her last battle, fifty men under First Officer Hellmuth von Mücke were accidentally marooned on a remote island. Stealing a leaky little schooner, the castaways got home to Germany in the most remarkable evasion of the war. And almost equally startling is the exploit of Lieutenant Julius Lauterbach, who escaped across the East Indies, the Pacific, a still neutral United States and the Atlantic to receive a hero's welcome back in Germany.

The Greatest Day in History, by Nicholas Best

The Greatest Day in History: How, on the Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month, the First World War Finally Came to an End, by Nicholas Best
Public Affairs, a Perseus Books Group, 2008
299 pages, 16 pages of glossy photos, Bibliography and Index
Library: 940.3 BES

Back Matter
The day the First World War finally came to an end was celebrated around the world, prompting the London Daily Express to triumphantly proclaim November 11 "the greatest day in history." Yet the war did not end neatly with the unconditional surrender of the Germans. After a dramatic week of negotiations, military offensives, and the beginning of a Communist revolution, Germany's Imperial regime collapsed. The Kaiser fled to Holland. The Allies eventually granted an armistice to a new German government, and at 11:00 am on November 11, the guns officially ceased fire, but only after 11,000 casualties had been sustained that morning--almost as many as on the more celebrated D-Day 26 years later. The last American to die was Private Henry Gunther of "Baltimore's Own" 313th Regiment. Drafted against his will, Gunther was a German-American, killed at 10.59 am, one minute before the peace.

No other conflict in history better demonstrates the old truism that wars are easier to start than to finish. With more than 40 million casualties across Europe, Africa, Asia and the Pacific, the First World War was the bloodiest of the twentieth century, brutal and unflagging right up to the final seconds.

The Greatest Day in History tells the dramatic story of the war's last few days. Drawing on the testimony of hundreds of eyewitnesses, among them Adolf Hitler, Charles de Gaulle, Harry S Truman, Ernest Hemingway, Marie Curie, Maurice Chevalier, and future generals MacArthur, Patton and Montgomery, the drama takes us from the general's headquarters to the frontline trenches, from the factories to the farms, revealing the twists and turns that led to the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, when the guns at last fell silent.

The Lusitania: Unraveling its Mysteries, by Patrick O'Sullivan

Library: 940.4 OSU

Back Matter
The sinking of the British ocean liner Lusitania is, together with the Titanic disaster, probably the best-known and most written about sea tragedy of our time. On May 7, 1915, the Lusitania was struck by a torpedo fired from a German submarine and sank within 20 minutes; 1,198 people drowned, including 128 Americans. Profound indignation over the attack contributed to the United States' entry into World War I.

Mystery and controversy have surrounded this disaster ever since. Now, after unearthing new evidence through two decades of research, Patrick O'Sullivan asserts that the Lusitania was indeed a ship of hostile intent that regularly smuggled munitions from the United States to England, using innocent passengers as human shields.

Offering the most compelling theory to date of the Lusitania's baffling second explosion," O'Sullivan further asserts that Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, failed to avert a disaster which the Royal Navy foresaw, that Captain Turner was the scapegoat of a rigged tribunal, and that the sinking triggered a sinister cover-up involving British intelligence

Lost Battalions: The Great War and the Crisis of American Nationality, by Richard Slotkin

Lost Battalions: The Great War and the Crisis of American Nationality, by Richard Slotkin
A John McCrae Book, Henry Holt and Company, 2005
562 pages, plus Notes, Selected Bibliography, Acknowledgments and Index
Library: 940.40089 SLO
No photos, but 5 illustrations and 5 maps

Front Matter
During the bloodiest days of World War I, no soldiers served more valiantly than the African-American troops of the 369th infantry-the fabled Harlem Hell Fighters-and the legendary "lost battalion" composed of "undesirable" New York City immigrants (largely Jews) drawn from the 77th Division, known as the Statue of Liberty division. Though these men had lived up to their side of the bargain as loyal American soldiers, earning their right to first-class citizenship, the country to which they returned chose to maintain and even extend Jim Crow and other laws and patterns of social behavior that had stigmatized them. Denied benefits, further service with the armed forces or other federal employment, and basic civil rights (some of the returning veterans were lynched and murdered)the soldiers' struggle to create consensus in favor of ethnic and racial pluralism would finally prevail. It was the first engagement in a long fight for equal rights that would last half a century.

In Lost Battalions, Richard Slotkin takes the pulse of a nation struggling with social inequality during a decisive historical moment. In a telling story of America's coming of age, he juxtaposes social commentary with battle scenes that display the bravery and solidarity of the men who would later be shunned by their fellow citizens. During combat, each unit found itself cut off behind enemy lines and locked in fierce battles that claimed the lives of more than half the soldiers. Enduring grueling maneuvers and the loss of so many of their brethren, the soldiers in the lost battalions were forever bound by their wartime experiences. Field-grade officers, largely Ivy League and upper class, were devoted to their charges, a loyalty that would continue after the war, even as the United States turned its back on the minority soldiers.

Slotkin's incisive analysis serves as a reminder that the opportunities and ideals of America often slip through the grasp of those outside the mainstream. Both a riveting combat narrative and a brilliant social history, Lost Battalions delivers a richly detailed account of the fierce fight for equality in the shadow of a foreign war.

Library: 940.4494 FRA

Backmatter
Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen was the most feared and celebrated of all German pilots in World War I, and has become one of the iconic figures of history. This book by three respected historians, released to coincide with a major motion picture entitled The Red Baron, has researched in detail the lives of all of his 123 victims (over 100 of whom are depicted) and provides a blow-by-blow account of their encounter with the great man - a unique compilation of material.

Table of Contents
There is no TOC as such, just a list of the dates on which Richthofen shot down each plane. I will not reproduce it here, but his career of aircraft shot down began on September 17, 1916 and ended on April 20, 1918. (He himself was shot down and killed on April 21, 1918.

Back Matter
Undoubtedly the most famous fighter type to see service on either side during World War I, the Fokker DR 1 was inspired by Sopwith's Triplane of 1916-1917. Boasting three superimposed wings, the German scout enjoyed much better maneuverability than any other fighter then in combat over the front. Entering service on the Western Front in the autumn of 1917, the Dreidecker (hence Dr), enjoyed immediate success with Germany's elite fighter unit, Manfred von Richthofen's JG 1. Although the triplane was not particularly fast in comparisin with other fighting scouts of the time, and it remained prone to wing failures throughout its brief career, the Dr 1 nevertheless proved a formidable opponent in the hands of skilled aces such as Manfred von Richthofen, Josef Jacobs and Ernst Udet. Although finally replaced from the spring of 1918 onwards by Fokker's far superior D VII, the triplane came to symbolize the German fighter force in the Great War.
