Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine

This Week in U.S. Military History: November 17th, 2026–November 23rd, 2026 follows seven demanding days across two and a half centuries of American arms. Listeners move from Washington’s hard choice to abandon Fort Lee in the Revolutionary War to the blood-soaked beaches of Tarawa and the fortress city of Metz in the Second World War, before entering the house-to-house fighting of Fallujah. Along the way, the narrative keeps pulling back to show how each fight fits into a larger campaign, a changing strategic map, and a nation learning hard lessons at high cost.

This Week in U.S. Military History: November 17th, 2026–November 23rd, 2026 also steps into courtrooms, crisis rooms, and the shadows of special operations. You will hear how the Nuremberg Trials and the end of the Cuban quarantine tried to tie military power to law and restraint, and how the ambush near Landing Zone Albany, the climb up Hill 875, and the Son Tay raid reshaped thinking about risk and rescue. This Week in U.S. Military History is the Tuesday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, developed by Trackpads dot com, offering a weekly, front-row seat on how past battles, decisions, and sacrifices still echo in today’s force.
