Gone for a Soldier

By Rona Simmons

Our country -- often through the eyes of those who defend its values sprinkled with little known details discovered while perusing the stacks at my local library, turning pages in a new book, or soaring across the internet.

Rona Simmons is a beautiful writer both fiction and non fiction including A Gathering of Men, which I am currently enjoying and No Average Day. Rona is new to Substack and a welcome addition!

Notes From The Past

On Demand History Videos & Notes

I like this site for my personal belief that you must understand the past to understand the present. History is often rewritten and this site does a great job of setting foundations for interpreting events.

Writing Wrongs

By Jim J Wilsky

Fiction that has friction. I will post author interviews, classic book recommendations and my own crime short stories. I am also the co-author of a four-book series that is available in print, audio and ebook formats at Amazon and other similar outlets.

I really enjoy Jim's writing style - he is a beautiful writer that transports me into his storyline in the first few sentences. A rare gift indeed.

Some context and analysis re. the "lost" WWII dispatches of TIME & LIFE correspondent Sid Olson. You can read his unedited dispatches in my new book: "Following the Front: The Dispatches of WWII Correspondent Sidney A. Olson."

The Military Philosopher

By Robert A Mosher (he/him)

Applied Historian and Independent Analyst and Scholar of War, Warfare, Peace, and Policy from the moment the raw material for weapons comes out of the ground to the moment we hear Taps or Last Post over the grave of the last veteran.

Another great substack site with a wide variety of posts from a military political analyst - one of my favorite posts is Dirt and Its Military Uses. Something I had not thought of past foxholes and tank traps.

Ridgway's Notebook

By Tyler Fox

Musings on the history of the airborne in WWII, its principles & developments, triumph's & failures - just the thing occupying Ridgway's notebook.

I love this site and have been a subscriber to it for quite some time. Ridgeway's paratroopers focuses on the airborne in WWII. It is well organized and informative. Highly recommend

Extra Muros explores ways people can obtain the benefits of higher education while remaining "outside the walls" of our dying universities.

Battlefield Legacies

By Antoni

Over five decades, Arve & Antoni Pisani have interviewed WWII vets and journeyed across Europe's battlefields, helping families unearth their kin's lost WWII narratives.

Battlefield Legacies recounts the stories of battlefields and soldiers. I love that these stories are being written down and as our veterans move on their legacies are being memorialized.

The Tactical Notebook has a wide variety of posts. One of my favorites is How the Howitzer Got It's Tail. There are also posts on current events and 19th century military subjects. Definitely worth checking out!
