In 2009; three US professors with access to Adolf Hitler’s alleged remains startled the world with scientific DNA proof that the skull and bones that Russia had claimed since the end of World War II were Hitler’s actually belonged to a middle-aged woman whose identity remains unknown. This announcement has rekindled interest in the claim made by Joseph Stalin; maintained to the end of his life; that Hitler got away. The truth is that no one saw Hitler and Eva Braun die in the bunker in Berlin on April 30; 1945. No photographs were taken to document claims Hitler and Evan Braun committed suicide. Hitler’s body was never recovered. No definitive physical evidence exists proving Hitler died in the bunker in Berlin. Dr. Jerome Corsi explores the historical possibility that Hitler escaped Nazi Germany at the end of World War II. FBI and CIA records maintained at the National Archives indicate that the US government took seriously reports at the end of World War II that Hitler had escaped to Argentina. More recent evidence suggests Hitler may have fled to Indonesia; where he married and worked at a hospital in Sumbawa. Even the chief of the US trial counsel at Nuremburg; Thomas J. Dodd; was quoted as saying; “No one for sure can say Adolf Hitler is dead.†Putting massive amounts of evidence and research under a critical eye; Dr. Corsi shows that perhaps modern history’s most tantalizing question has yet to be definitively answered: Did Hitler escaped Nazi Germany at the end of World War II to plot revenge and to plan the rise of the Fourth Reich?

Great Book on Civil War at the western front.By Grover SmithVery little has been written on this subject; the war in Louisiana; and why Texas was never really invaded by the armies of the northern aggression (a little humor here). This book is very readable the author knows his subject and has a passion for it. He covers tactical facts along side of the strategic. The ingenuity of Americans at war is shown by measures and countermeasures each side took in this tragic war of brothers. This is a small book with a lot of information. This book will hold the attention of anyone interested in the history of The war for southern independence (the American Civil War for you yamn dankees ;a little more of that humor). A really good read.2 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Needs a ghost writerBy Michael B. O'ConnorI really tried to get through this book; but the writing was so poor that I had to stop. As a college professor; I have to coach students in writing and this just wore me out. That's too bad because I was curious to read about the 47th Pennsylvania's role in the battles. Hopefully there is a better-written book out there.I did like the photos included; though.8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book on a little known piece of Civil War historyBy calvinnmeThe purpose of the Red River Campaign had little to do with the Confederacy itself. Northern textile mills were not doing so well without a steady supply of raw material; and the Union had designs on what they thought was a large supply of cotton just waiting for them in Texas and Louisiana. Also; the French had just recently installed their own puppet emperor; Maximillian; on the throne of Mexico. The Union wanted to make sure that France did not decide to use the Civil War as an opportunity to expand its dominance even further.The Louisiana Department fought in the Jacksonian fashion with insufficient troops. The Confederates eventually had no choice but to retreat; and all of the Louisiana territory they left in their wake fell under Union control. The Union forces reached the Natchitoches area; remained there a few days; and then took a road to Mansfield toward Shreveport. On April 8; 1864 the Union forces were stretched out over a wide area when they encountered a concentrated Confederate force just outside of Mansfield. The Confederates attacked; and the Union; even with the arrival of reinforcements; was routed. This was a humiliating loss for the Union resulting in the death of 700 men and 1;500 more being taken prisoner. The Confederates also captured quite a stash of artillery; wagons; and horses from the Union forces. Thus the Union managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. However; the Confederate victory was not complete; thus this really didn't change the slow road to defeat that the Confederacy was on at the time.This book examines all of this; including what might have been and the mistakes that were made on both sides; concerning this lesser known campaign of the Civil War. I found it particularly fascinating; being a native Texan; that Texas actually attracted the Union's military attention. Many Texans fought and died during the Civil War; but the vast majority did so on battlefields far from home in Virginia; Tennessee; and Pennsylvania.
