His wife, Mary, said, “Are you okay?” He replied, “Yes” and laid back down. He looked over at the clock it read 1:02 AM. He rolled over and closed…

their collection of intelligence did not involve much covert action. Rather, German intelligence officers used overt intelligence collection methods, including using both personal relationships and enemy news sources to predict enemy movements and strategy.

Using the anecdote of the battle in Belleau Wood to explain why the world’s evaluation of America’s abilities changed is a strategy that both draws the reader into the story and…

World War I is considered as the war that destroyed men physically and mentally. The novel All Quiet on the Western Front, is based on a German soldier’s view during World War I.

His tactic centered on turning the people against their Jewish brothers and sisters. The German Jews were contributing citizens in Germany, many of whom were educated and business owners.
