  • Rough Riders: Theodore Roosevelt, His Cowboy Regiment, and the Immortal Charge up San Juan Hill . By Mark Lee Gardner

    Dennis E Showalter, Dennis ShowalterARTICLEWestern Historical Quarterly2017

    When Theodore Roosevelt published his memoir of the Cuban campaign of 1898, he called it The Rough Riders. The contemporary humorist Finley Peter Dunne suggested that a more appropriate title would have been Alone in Cuba. Certainly Roosevelt’s fondness for the first person singular is well demonstrated in this volume. The regiment he raised served as a stage setting for TR’s own book, The Life Story of a Hero by One Who Knows. Nevertheless TR’s …

  • Antisemitism in the German Military Community and the Jewish Response, 1914–1938

    Dennis E ShowalterARTICLEHolocaust and Genocide Studies2015

    Eleven million Germans served in World War I, and that service redefined the nature and attitude of the veterans’ community, from the eighteenth century onward one of the pillars of the Prussian state and of the German Empire. As many as forty percent of World War I soldiers joined veterans’ organizations, which were also open to males who had been too young for the war but were engaged by its ideals. After earlier wars, veterans readjusted to ci…

    Considering the Unthinkable: Chemical Weapons in Modern Warfare Dennis E. Showalter (bio) Charles Stephenson's The Admiral's Secret Weapon and Kim Coleman's A History of Chemical Warfare Jonathan Tucker's War of Nerves The use of chemical weapons can be traced back to the ancient world—as can efforts to limit or prohibit their use. But the roots of chemical warfare proper are best sought in the nineteenth century. It was an age of war, an age of …

  • The Great War and Its Historiography

    The understanding of the First World War is connected more than that of any other modern conflict with the war's historiography. Even before the armies marched, the respective combatants were compi

  • Germany and the Axis Powers: From Coalition to Collapse

    Richard L DiNardo, Dennis E ShowalterBOOKGermany and the Axis powers from…2005

    It seemed that whenever Mussolini acted on his own, it was bad news for Hitler. Indeed, the Fuhrer's relations with his Axis partners were fraught with an almost total lack of coordination. Compared to the Allies, the coalition was hardly an alliance at all. Focusing on Germany's military relations with Italy, Romania, Hungary, and Finland, Richard DiNardo unearths a wealth of little-known facts that reveal how the Axis coalition largely undermin…

  • Information Capabilities and Military Revolutions: The Nineteenth-Century Experience

    Dennis E ShowalterARTICLEJournal of Strategic Studies2004

    This paper considers the contribution of military publishing to the nineteenth-century military revolution leading to the Great War. The subject is addressed in four contexts. The first is informational, analyzing the role of military publications in making available data and ideas that increased military effectiveness. The second is syncretic, evaluating the effect of military publications on cohesion within increasingly large, complex armies, a…

  • Researching World War I: A Handbook

    Robin Higham, Dennis E ShowalterBOOKResearching World War I2003

    World War I was the greatest cataclysm Europe had ever known, directly involving 61 million troops from 16 nations. Yet the history of the war and the reasons it started and spread so rapidly were vastly more complex than the players realized. Written by highly respected authorities, this book discusses the literature on all aspects of the war, making it an excellent starting point for anyone seeking guidance to the immense, and often daunting, b…

  • War in the Age of Technology: Myriad Faces of Modern Armed Conflict (review)

    Dennis E ShowalterARTICLETechnology and Culture2002

    A frequent reviewers' criticism of anthologies is "lack of cohesion." It is indeed difficult to bring a dozen or so historians onto a single track, and a preliminary scan of this book's table of contents would seem to invite the familiar judgment. Of the thirteen chapters, five cover aspects of World War I. The rest range from broad-gauged overviews of technology and armed forces through case studies of contemporary Russia and Iraq to an analysis…
