The Reese Boys
The Reese Boys is the story of a man, his sons, and a dream that took 25 years to bring to fruition. The story tells of joy, pain, grief, death, success, leading to fame and fortune, along with paramilitary action and millions of dollars changing hands along the way. All in the name of football. Told by a man named Walter Reese that had one son named Ray, Walter watched the entire story transpire from the very beginning. Not ever mentioning himself, Walter tells a story that will re-instill your feelings for family, friendships and dreams. You will take a roller coaster ride of surprises and unexpected, unbelievable occurances, one after another. Ray and Robin Reese have identical twin boys on the same day at the same hospital in 1976 that Tom and Toni Tyler have twin girls. Doctor Dave Dixon introduced Ray and Tom at the baby viewing window and a family friendship started that grew stronger and stronger every year. They added to their clans year after year, seemingly planned the entire way. The families found happiness, joy and fun along the way, but must endure terrible pain, grief, and suffering along with it. In the end, they are closer than ever. And America loves them.
Why Stalin's Soldiers Fought
Inept leadership, inefficient campaigning, and enormous losses would seem to spell military disaster. Yet despite these factors, the Soviet Union won its war against Nazi Germany thanks to what Roger Reese calls its "military effectiveness": its ability to put troops in the field even after previous forces had been decimated. Reese probes the human dimension of the Red Army in World War II through a close analysis of soldiers' experiences and attitudes concerning mobilization, motivation, and morale. In doing so, he illuminates the Soviets' remarkable ability to recruit and retain soldiers, revealing why so many were willing to fight in the service of a repressive regime-and how that service...

The Imperial Russian Army in Peace, War, and Revolution, 1856–1917
In December 1917, nine months after the disintegration of the Russian monarchy, the army officer corps, one of the dynasty’s prime pillars, finally fell—a collapse that, in light of World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution, historians often treat as inevitable. The Imperial Russian Army in Peace, War, and Revolution, 1856–1917 contests this assumption. By expanding our view of the Imperial Russian Army to include the experience of the enlisted ranks, Roger R. Reese reveals that the soldier’s revolt in 1917 was more social revolution than anti-war movement—and a revolution based on social distinctions within the officer corps as well as between the ranks. Reese’s account begins in...
Russia's Army
With the invasion of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin’s Russia seems to have stepped out of time, reverting to an imperial era of conquest and expansion. But as Roger Reese points out in this comprehensive new history, Russia’s way of war has changed little from one century to the next, one regime to another, from the army of the tsar to the army of today. Russia’s Army reveals how the Imperial Russian Army and its successors, the Soviet Army and the army of the Russian Federation, confronted the state’s foreign policy challenges—projecting power and defending the empire—and the domestic challenge of containing internal unrest generated by nationalism, competing ethnic and religious ident...
Military Masculinity and Postwar Recovery in the Soviet Union
Catastrophic wartime casualties and postwar discomfort with the successes of women who had served in combat roles combined to shatter prewar ideals about what service meant for Soviet masculine identity. The soldier had to be re-imagined and resold to a public that had just emerged from the Second World War, and a younger generation suspicious of state control. In doing so, Soviet military culture wrote women out and attempted to re-establish soldiering as the premier form of masculinity in society. Military Masculinity and Postwar Recovery in the Soviet Union combines textual and visual analysis, as well as archival research to highlight the multiple narratives that contributed to rebuilding military identities. Each chapter visits a particular site of this reconstruction, including debates about conscription and evasion, appropriate role models for cadets, misogynist military imagery in cartoons, the fraught militarized workplaces of nuclear physicists, and the first cohort of cosmonauts, who represented the completion of the project to rebuild militarized masculinity.
