(Because war and religion are historically integrated and ...)
Because war and religion are historically integrated and permeate the history of most peoples, it is of interest to examine the role of religion in the lives of military men. Great Captains of the Faith includes a synopsis of the lives and military activities of ten famous military leaders. These men should be remembered for their military genius - not for their sins. Because this synthesis singles out military leaders of the Judeo-Christian Faith, there are chapters describing, Faith, the Judaic Faith, the Christian Faith, and the Reformation with respect to their effect on war, the analytical thought process, and the role each played in the lives of these ten great captains. Maps and illustrations assist the reader in following the text and understanding the importance of terrain analysis and knowledge of the enemy. Every source is identified by notes at the end of the book.

( Members of these five families fought for our freedom....)
Members of these five families fought for our freedom. The ancestors of the John William Lowry II family were remarkable people. Five major ancestral families came to the British North American Colonies and settled prior to the French and Indian War (1756-1763). Landing on the Atlantic seaboard, they initially settled in Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia. Then, all five families moved into South Carolina. Men from each of the five families fought under George Washington during the War for American Independence. One served in the United States Army during the War of 1812. Others served in the armed forces at different times. All five families moved south and then west to purchase land in central Mississippi after the Choctaw Indians ceded that territory to the United States. There they remained. Both grandfathers of John William Lowry II served in the Confederate Army during the War Between the States. During the early years of the twentieth century he and his wife had nine children, all of whom led interesting and adventurous lives.

During World War II the Allies not only defeated Germany; they destroyed its army, personnel records, and war-making capability. Five years after this collapse, Theodor Blank received the responsibility for the German part in planning the rearmament of West Germany starting from nothing. Heretofore, Blank's role has been told only in part, but new materials and the ability to see events in a clearer perspective warrant a new study of Blank's role in the rearmament process.

( A Christian Chaplain's Wartime Experiences At an early...)
A Christian Chaplain's Wartime Experiences At an early age Mark Lowry was called by God into the Christian ministry. Overcoming early difficulties in obtaining an education, by age forty he had graduated with honors from college and earned a master's degree and a doctor's degree in theology. Having narrowly missed serving in the United States Army during World War I, on 7 December 1941 when he heard of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he knew exactly what the Lord wanted him to do. On the morning of 8 December 1941 he volunteered to serve in the United States Army as a chaplain at any time and any place the nation might need him. Six months later he was a first lieutenant in the United States Army serving as a chaplain in a combat unit training to go to war. His unit landed in North Africa the day the German Afrika Korps surrendered. In September 1943 he landed with his unit at Salerno, Italy, and served in some of the bloodiest battles of the Italian Campaign. With his unit he later made the amphibious landing at Anzio where he served until the breakout from that beach head. This book gives a vivid description of some of the German Luftwaffe and artillery attacks on United States troops. It also describes the challenges imposed upon medical personnel in treating the soldiers wounded in those attacks. Continuing to serve in combat, he remained in Italy until the war ended with his unit at the Brenner Pass. In this book he has described many accounts of the combat action in Italy, including the personal trials and experiences of some of the men to whom he ministered. This collection of short devotional poems and sketches is based upon his combat experiences during that war. It portrays the practical application of the Christian Faith to the everyday experiences of soldiers in armed combat. It is the memoir of a Christian soldier.
