Re: The American and the Snob?
Thanks for alerting us to this kerfuffle within the Naval subculture. Two questions: did the Royal Navy have a more devoted cheerleader than Alfred Thayer Mahan? And might this not be simply a case of the Mother Country's reflexive snobbery toward us shabby Colonials?

Re: X-Post: MiWSR: Heck on Hill, "The Red Army and the Second World War"
Whenever I read something like this I am amazed at how Jon House is completely neglected. It is known, especially among those of us who worked with him while he was at the US Army Command and General Staff college (twice, once as a young officer and later as a civilian professor), that Jonathan House is a fantastic military historian and has done much to take the encyclopedic, but verbose, writing of Dave Glantz and "synthesize" it into a more accessible narrative, analysis, and often both.
