I Love American History

American Military History

Written on February 8th, 2013
I'm new to the forums, so I'm looking around to gauge people's interests. Is there anyone here that enjoys American military history? If so, then why?

I find that I enjoy studying WWII the most, due to the socioeconomic climate of the world at the time. I always get the feeling that the colossal military campaigns that the American armed forces conducted during the war was reminiscent to fictional stories of good rallying to triumph over evil. (A bit theatrical, but please bear with me).

Anyway, I find that the Normandy campaign has to be the most enjoyable aspect of America's involvement during World War II. I'm fascinated learning about the complex interactions that existed between the various members of the Allied high command, as how those relationships ultimately designed the course of the battle. The last British offensive around the French city of Caen may never have happened, should Eisenhower's frustration with Montgomery reached its boiling point.

I digress. So EP, what would you say is the American military conflict that you find the most interesting?

    WWII is very interesting. My dad is a WWII history buff. He had books upon books upon books. I would read some here and there. A book on Iwo Jima was the one that really got to me.

      No. I think the title was simply Iwo Jima. Unfortunately my father no longer has his collection of books so I can't ask him. But it definitely was not Flags of Our Fathers. A very good friend of mie is also a WWII buff. My father gave him some of his books. He's a high school teacher at one of the local high schools here.

      I saw some of your other posts....I hope you get into the graduate school you want. I'm sorry for your painful breakup but I hope in time yor heart heals and you find true happiness, joy and love. You seem like a nice young man. All the best to you (hug)
