Books with author R A Marshall

"The intimate details of small unit combat with the blood, sweat and emotions of the Vietnam War are portrayed in the best Marshall tradition. As Gen. Marshall did in his excellent novels on the Korean War, "Pork Chop Hill" and "River and the Gauntlet," the individual soldier is brought to life with his story and his actions. Well-portrayed with pictures of the various soldiers of whom he writes, the book is well worth reading. One feels the emotional strain, the mixture of courage and fear of death in battle while reading this book." -Melvin A. Young, Newsday

Since independence at the beginning of the nineteenth century, Latin America has maintained close links with Britain. This book examines the cultural and social implications of the relationship through a series of case studies that focus on British, Irish, and West Indian immigrants and their descendants in Mexico, Central and South America. The contributors - historians, anthropologists and sociolinguists - explore the past, present and putative future of English-speaking communities in Latin America and the relationships with their host societies.
