SUMMARY:Military History Bookclub
DESCRIPTION:Military History Bookclub\nAudie Murphy Land Warfare Series\nSponsored by North Texas Audie Murphy Chapter\nDate: July 10\, 2025\nLocation: Prestonwood CC\, 15909 Preston Road\, Dallas\, TX\nPlease arrive by 7:30 AM to order from the menu. Breakfast is $20. Discussion begins at 7:30 and ends no later than 9:00. \nModerated by COL (ret) JP Hogan\, Director of Leadership Development North Texas Audie Murphy Chapter \nTaiwan is a flourishing Democracy and an economic success story. Just one company\, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC)\, produces a significant majority of the world’s semiconductor chips. The island is a bastion of freedom against the PRCs assertive presence in the region. The PRC is becoming increasingly bellicose under Wi Jinping\, insisting that the island is part of the PRC. The US\, in turn\, treats the issue of One China in vague terms but hints at the need to preserve Taiwan as the bastion of freedom. Should China blockade the island or mount an invasion\, it could easily create a chain reaction escalating to regional and perhaps global war. The author\, Professor Kerry Brown\, Director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College in London\, helps us understand how and why we’ve arrived at this dangerous moment in history.  \nRSVP to macabee1948@gmail.com

Breakfast is $15\nWe will be complete by 9:00 AM\nCOL USA (Ret) JP Hogan: AUSA Leadership Education Fellow\nCAPT USN (Ret): Author and Professional Speaker \n \nThe dramatic story of 1914—the start of World War I—presenting an expansive\, dynamic history of the start of this truly global conflict. Most countries did not know what they were getting into during the precarious days of 1914. Global citizens believed they were going to get a short conflict that would settle old scores in a matter of weeks—but it was soon clear that was not going to be the case. From the Balkans to East Prussia\, France\, and Belgium\, nineteenth-century warfare came face to face with twentieth-century technology and the ensuing\, \nbrutal clash of empires resulted in deadlock. And it was a truly global war\, stretching from Europe to Oceania\, from the Middle East to North America. It affected civilians as well as soldiers and governments\, and for the first time\, the world was faced with the fact that neutrality was practically impossible. \n  \nRSVP: macabee1948@gmail.com

SUMMARY:National Defense Briefing Series
DESCRIPTION:Great Power Competition – Sea Power Perspective\n\n\n\n\n\nOctober 26\, 2025 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSince World War II\, the U.S. Navy has been the dominant sea power and one of its primary missions is ensuring that every nation has freedom to ship goods on the world’s oceans. The on-going attempt by the Houthis to shut down merchant ship traffic through the Red Sea\, Russia’s deployment of ships into the Atlantic and Pacific and Iran’s threats to close the Straits of Hormuz is a political\, military and economic challenge. Since 90% of the worlds goods that move between continents goes by sea\, the actions of the Houthis and rapid growth of the People’s Republic of China’s Navy and its aggressive behavior in Asia and Africa has once again raised the issue of sea power and its importance.

SUMMARY:Military History Book Club: Seeds of Victory
DESCRIPTION:Seeds of Victory: Defeat & Triumph  by  James Ellman\nPlease arrive by 7:15 a.m. to order from the menu.  Breakfast is $20.  Discussion starts at 7:30 and ends at 9:00. \nThe discussion will be guided by John Caldwell: CPA\, 9 Marathons (PB 3:15)  and  Robert Epstein: Texas Guard- Military Police Brigade; 20 years law enforcement \nLike all armed forces\, the United States military–often celebrated for its victories–has been defeated on the battlefield throughout its long history. Unlike some others\, the United States has shown a remarkable ability to bounce back from defeat: to learn from the loss\, recover\, and turn it into victory. In this book James Ellman\, who has established a reputation for his reconsiderations of military history\, takes a close look at nine such pivot points on the ground\, in the air\, and at sea\, from the American Revolution through the Korean War: \n \n\n-Long Island (1776) to Saratoga (1777)\n-Invasion of Canada (1812) to Battle of Lake Erie (1813)\n-First Bull Run (1861) to Antietam (1862)\n-Pearl Harbor (1941) to Midway (1942)\n-Luzon (1942) to Buna-Gona (1943)\n-Schweinfurt/Ploesti (1943) to “Big Week” (1944)\n-Chongchon (1950) to Operation Ripper (1951)\n\n  \nIn brisk narratives\, Ellman describes each battle\, explaining how it was fought and lost\, and then shifts gears to detail how leaders–military as well as civilian–such as George Washington\, Abraham Lincoln\, Douglas MacArthur\, Dwight Eisenhower\, and George Patton assessed the factors that led to defeat\, made changes to training\, tactics\, and strategy\, and entered the next battle wiser and better prepared. Ellman finally recounts the subsequent battle\, focusing on how it was shaped by what came before and how the victory was gained. \nAs this book makes clear\, the history of the United States at war is\, to a surprising degree\, the story of tenacity in the wake of defeat\, of flexibility and adaptability on the path to victory. This is essential reading for understanding how battles are lost and won.  \nRSVP to Bob Epstein at: macabee1948@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Military History Book Club
DESCRIPTION: “The Sword of Freedom” by former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen\nPrestonwood CC\, 15909 Preston Road\, Dallas\, TX. Please arrive by 7:15 a.m. to order from the menu. \nBreakfast is $20.  Discussion starts at 7:30 and ends at 9:00. \nThe discussion will be guided by co-Chairmen – John Caldwell: CPA\, 9 Marathons (PB 3:15)  &  Robert Epstein: Texas Guard- Military Police Brigade; 20 years law enforcement                                  \nIsrael has always won. They are winning now. And they must always win in the future. \nIn The Sword of Freedom\, former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen pulls back the curtain on Israel’s success in the face of never-ending war. Cohen has played a pivotal role in shaping Israel’s modern defense strategy. Blending personal stories and the nation’s history\, he offers a rare glimpse into how Israel has defied existential threats and built a cutting-edge defense system. He reveals how Israel always finds a way to win\, as well as: \n  \n\nHow Israel succeeds as a nation and military power\nThe future of Gaza and Hamas\nWhat it takes to be in the Mossad\nThe mistakes Westerners make about the Middle East\nHow Mossad helps counter terrorism around the world\nHow the art of spy craft has changed in the advent of AI and social media\nWhat Donald Trump’s second presidency means for Israel\n\n  \nIn today’s volatile world\, Israel must remain adaptable and resolute to survive. Cohen explores how Israel achieves this: by questioning all intelligence\, prioritizing human ingenuity\, cooperating with other countries (even ones you might not expect)\, and ensuring enemies fear defeat before battles begin. \nAs David Ben-Gurion observed\, “History is not written\, it is created.” From thrilling covert operations to strategies that safeguard borders\, The Sword of Free­dom demonstrates how Israel’s transformation from a vulnerable state to a global power was no accident. \nRSVP to Bob Epstein at: macabee1948@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Military History Book Club  February 12
DESCRIPTION:Grey Wars – A Contemporary History of U.S. Special Operations\nby N.W. Collins\n \nThe discussion will be guided by Rear Admiral Gary Rosholt\, a 35-year US Navy SEAL (Ret) with his Flag Officer tours as the Deputy Commanding General\, Special Operations Command\, U.S. Central Command and Senior Defense Official / Defense Attache\, U.S. Embassy United Arab Emirates along with Robert Epstein: Texas Guard – Military Police Brigade; 20 years law enforcement\nWhat’s it about? \nA comprehensive analysis of U.S. Special Operations Forces in 21st-century warfare\, examining their everyday reality in national security while respecting classified information and sensitive operational details. \nAuthor’s Note from Grey Wars: A lot is missing from this book—deliberately. \nThis book is intended for readers who seek a deeper understanding of U.S. Special Operations and the forces at the center of America’s 21st-century wars. Violence on behalf of the nation by sacred trust\, sums up one military leader. Rings of sorrow\, paraphrases another. While fighting matters evoke raw sentiment—and rightly so—the focus here is on the everyday reality of national security\, not the extremes. \nI set out—and received authorization—to conduct this research across the interagency. Throughout\, I adhere strictly to the classifications of national security and to the core values of academia to respect confidential sources and sensitive information. Upon completion\, this book was reviewed in its entirety by the U.S. Department of Defense\, Office of Prepublication and Security Review\, and other governmental agencies. \nRSVP to Bob Epstein at: macabee1948@gmail.com
