American Courage, American Carnage: The 7th Infantry Regiment's Combat Experience, 1812 through World War II (coming soon)

Grunts: The American Infantry Combat Experience, World War II through the Present (2009)

Grunts: The American Infantry Combat Experience, World War II through the Present." The book will cover a dozen battles/situations faced by American infantry soldiers in the last sixty years, from the invasion of Guam in World War II to today's counterinsurgency war in Iraq. It's the grunt's story, with first hand accounts galore, plus a passionate argument for the importance of infantry soldiers to our national security. "Grunts" is based on years of archival research, first hand combat interviews, and analysis. My approach is similar to John Keegan's in his classic "Face of Battle," but with a modern American focus, and an overriding argument that modern history has proven, beyond doubt, the central importance of ground combat power in winning wars and protecting America's national interests."
