Black Jeremy; Degli Esposti F. (cur.)
Breve storia della guerra
br. Perché l'uomo combatte? Che cosa determinò il successo delle legioni romane? E si perverrà mai alla "fine delle guerre"? Il volume offre una sintesi complessiva del ruolo e delle forme della guerra nelle società umane. Adottando una originale prospettiva non eurocentrica ma globale, con particolare attenzione per il mondo islamico e l'Asia orientale, l'autore ripercorre l'evoluzione delle politiche, delle strategie, dei modi di combattere nell'antichità, nel Medioevo, nella prima età delle armi da fuoco e in quella delle rivoluzioni, nell'epoca dell'imperialismo europeo e nell'odierno mondo globalizzato.

Black Soldier in the Korean war
African American Military History Integrated U.S. Army Soldiers Photo Archive Korea and Post WWII 1950s
1957. Vernacular photograph archive of African American soldiers in integrated U.S. Army units circa 1950s documents the early implementation of military desegregation following Executive Order 9981 and provides visual evidence of Black and white soldiers serving together during and after World War II including the Korean War. The photographs place African American servicemen within the first generation of formally integrated military units preceding broader civil rights gains in civilian society. Scenes of joint training transport and daily life show Black soldiers operating alongside white counterparts in contexts ranging from shipboard movement to antiaircraft defense positions indicating the practical realities of integration in active and post-conflict environments. The archive captures both structured military activity and informal moments offering a record of service that contrasts with the segregated conditions that had defined earlier periods of U.S. military history.<br /> <br /> United States and Korea circa 1950s. Archive of 21 silver gelatin vernacular photographs with several images bearing manuscript captions on the verso identifying individuals and locations including one noting Korea 1957-1958. Photographs depict a range of settings including military bases in Korea stateside camps shipboard scenes and antiaircraft gun emplacements in snowy terrain. Multiple images show interracial groups of soldiers posing with rifles and submachine guns while others capture informal activities including one sequence featuring a soldier holding an inflated puffer fish aboard a ship. One photograph includes a note written in Italian on the verso indicating cross-cultural contact or circulation. Composition and subject matter vary from posed group portraits to candid operational and leisure scenes.<br /> <br /> Created during the first decade of enforced military integration these photographs align with the transitional period in which desegregation policies were implemented unevenly across the armed forces with fuller integration not realized until the mid-1950s. The Korean War served as a critical testing ground for integrated units accelerating changes in military structure and social dynamics within the ranks. This archive provides a ground-level view of those developments documenting both the normalization of interracial military service and the persistence of shared routines duties and environments across racial lines. Light wear from handling with minor surface marks and occasional verso annotations; overall very good condition. unknown

Black Troops in Korea War
African American Military Service Cold War Deployments in Korea and Europe Photographic Archive 1960s
1964. Anonymous photographs of African American soldiers stationed in Korea and Europe produced c. 1960s document Black military service during the Cold War and provide primary-source evidence for the study of U.S. Army deployments racial integration in the post-World War II military and lived experience within forward operating environments near geopolitical flashpoints. The images place African American servicemen at installations including Camp Kaiser in South Korea located within proximity to the Korean Demilitarized Zone and in European urban and alpine settings indicating rotational or multi-theater deployment. The archive supports research into the role of Black soldiers in Cold War containment strategy as well as the everyday conditions mobility and social environments encountered by enlisted personnel across Asia and Europe during a period of sustained global military presence.<br /> <br /> Archive of 24 original black and white silver gelatin photographs c. 1960s primarily measuring approximately 4" x 3". At least half of the images are identified as taken in Korea with multiple captions including "Camp Kaiser" "Korean Home" "Village" and "CO Area" situating the group within a U.S. Army installation environment composed of cinder block structures and Quonset huts approximately 60 miles north of Seoul and within range of North Korean artillery positions. One overhead view shows the full layout of Camp Kaiser while other images depict African American soldiers in field conditions described as "Cold Wet" trekking and camping in rugged terrain. Additional Korean scenes include a soldier leaning against a tank marked "Kimchee" and an airfield photograph showing a chrome fighter jet surrounded by personnel alongside additional aircraft including a biplane. European photographs include a parade observed from an apartment window in a German-speaking alpine town featuring a float labeled "General Knuller" as well as street-level images of crowds deployed fire engines and soldiers observing from a Volkswagen Beetle. One image shows an African American soldier standing outside a synagogue marked by a Star of David with a flag bearing the inscription "Troop Att 1964" indicating interaction with local religious or commemorative sites.<br /> <br /> The photographs align with the global positioning of U.S. forces during the Cold War particularly in South Korea following the Korean War armistice and across Western Europe as part of NATO-aligned defense strategy. African American soldiers serving in an officially desegregated military after 1948 participated in these deployments while navigating both military hierarchy and broader social transformations associated with the Civil Rights era. The archive captures a range of activities from patrol and training environments to civic encounters and public events offering a geographically dispersed visual record of Black military presence within U.S. Cold War operations. Light wear and minor handling present; captions and details remain legible; overall very good condition. unknown

Black Troops Injured in the Civil War
African American Civil War Veterans Pension Petitions Congressional Reports 1873 to 1904
1873. United States Congress pension reports concerning Private Daniel Wooden Abram Colley and Sarah E. Wheeler 1873 to 1904 documenting federal pension advocacy for African American Civil War veterans and their families. The material documents federal pension administration and legislative intervention through committee reports submitted to Congress revealing how disability claims for formerly enslaved soldiers and their dependents were reviewed contested and advanced and providing primary-source evidence for the study of postwar veteran welfare racialized access to federal benefits and the long-term consequences of military service in the American Civil War.<br /> <br /> Three printed congressional reports submitted by the Committee on Pensions and the Committee on Invalid Pensions concerning Private Daniel Wooden of the 64th United States Colored Troops 1873 Abram Colley of the Sixth United States Colored Troops 1882 and Sarah E. Wheeler widow of Elijah Wheeler 1904. The reports detail service-related injuries and subsequent disability claims including Colley's documented wound described as "gunshot comminuting tibia and fibula of right leg and implicating knee-joint received in battle at Dutch Gap VA. August 17 1864" resulting in his discharge on a surgeon's certificate in 1865. The documents outline the petitions for increased pension support based on worsening physical conditions that rendered sustained labor difficult or impossible and they reflect the evidentiary standards and narrative frameworks used to justify federal compensation. The 1873 report is printed single-sided while the 1882 and 1904 reports are printed double-sided all in pamphlet-style formats measuring approximately 8.75 x 5.5 inches.<br /> <br /> These reports emerge from the broader postwar pension system one of the largest federal expenditures of the late nineteenth century through which Union veterans and their families sought financial support for service-related disabilities. African American soldiers many of whom served in the United States Colored Troops frequently faced additional scrutiny and bureaucratic barriers in securing equitable compensation. The inclusion of both veteran and widow claims illustrates the extension of pension advocacy across generations particularly in cases where injuries produced long-term incapacity or death. Minor edge wear along the left margins paper stable and legible; overall very good condition. A focused group of congressional documents illuminating the intersection of race military service and federal welfare policy in the post-Civil War United States. unknown

Black Troops Desegregation in Korean War
Civil Rights and U.S. Military Integration African American Soldiers Serving in Korea Shortly After Truman's 1948 Desegregation Order
1949. African American U.S. Army soldiers photographed in Korea during the early 1950s document Black military service during the first major war fought after the desegregation of the United States armed forces. Twenty photographs dating to the Korean War era depict African American soldiers operating in field environments during active deployment. One photograph includes a detailed inscription written by a soldier identified as PFC Glenn Miller describing harsh winter conditions during a convoy movement in December 1951. The images record daily wartime experience during a transitional period in American military history when Black soldiers were serving in increasing numbers within newly integrated units following President Harry S. Truman's 1948 order mandating racial equality in the armed forces.<br /> <br /> Twenty black and white photographs depicting African American soldiers in U.S. Army uniforms during Korean War service. Photographs measure approximately 2 x 2 inches to 3 x 5 inches and show soldiers operating outdoors in Korean terrain including roads forested areas and mountainous landscapes. Several images show troops wearing helmets and carrying rifles while others depict soldiers traveling with jeeps or trucks in convoy movements along rural roads. Numerous group photographs show African American soldiers posed together in field conditions. One photograph bears a lengthy inscription on the verso written by PFC Glenn Miller and dated December 1951 describing a winter convoy: "It was plenty cold that night and a lot of snow we had to sleep outside after riding 25 miles on uncovered trucks for 3 hrs. boots were so cold I could hardly get them on.".<br /> <br /> The Korean War fought between 1950 and 1953 became the first large scale test of the U.S. military following the formal desegregation of the armed forces ordered in 1948. African American soldiers had served in segregated units during World War II and their wartime contributions strengthened political pressure from civil rights advocates to end racial separation in the military. By the time U.S. forces entered the Korean conflict integration policies were being implemented across many units though resistance from some senior commanders and uneven enforcement slowed the process in the early years of the war. Approximately 600000 African Americans served in the armed forces during the Korean War and Black servicemen accounted for roughly 9 percent of American fatalities in the conflict. The photographs provide firsthand visual documentation of Black soldiers serving in combat zones while enduring the severe winter conditions and rugged terrain that characterized the Korean battlefield. Twenty photographs ranging from approximately 2 x 2 inches to 3 x 5 inches. A small number of images show minor discoloration from age; most remain well preserved with clear contrast. Overall condition very good. unknown
