Five U-boats. That's what Admiral Karl Dönitz sent to American coastal waters in January 1942 — just five submarines to test what lay off the Eastern Seaboard. The results were cat…
The standard account of Operation Barbarossa runs something like this: Germany came astonishingly close to winning, was undone by Hitler's strategic meddling, the Russian winter, a…
The 150th anniversary of the Little Bighorn fell last month, and the commemorations did what they always do — centered on Custer, on the ridge, on the last stand. That framing is a…
The attack on the U.S. Embassy compound in Saigon on January 30, 1968 lasted about six hours. By any military measure, it failed — the attackers never breached the chancery buildin…
The standard account of the Battle of Britain is essentially a film poster: Spitfires banking over white cliffs, a handful of exhausted young men against the massed might of the We…

The strangest detail from the Stalingrad encirclement has nothing to do with heroism or atrocity. It has to do with signals intelligence — and what happens when an army knows exact…
The Maginot Line held. Every fortification it defended, it defended. Not a single German soldier broke through its concrete and steel in May 1940. The French had built exactly what…

By the spring of 1943, the Battle of the Atlantic had been running for nearly four years. The U-boat campaign had come closer than almost any other Axis operation to breaking Brita…
The German army that crossed the Soviet border on June 22, 1941 was, by most measures, the most effective fighting force on earth. It had shattered Poland in weeks, France in six.…
The Wehrmacht's logistics failure in 1941 is one of the most-cited cautionary tales in military history. German armored formations outran their supply lines, the railway gauge mism…
I covered the American armor problem in North Africa back in May — specifically how Kasserine exposed the gap between prewar tank doctrine and battlefield reality. What I didn't fu…
I covered the armor doctrine failure at Kasserine in an earlier issue — the mismatch between what American tank crews trained to do and what the Tunisian desert actually demanded.…
The attack on the U.S. Embassy compound in Saigon on January 30, 1968 lasted roughly six hours before American forces retook it. By any tactical measure, it was a failure. The sapp…
