Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine

This Week in U.S. Military History: November 24th, 2026–November 30th, 2026 brings you from the last British redcoats leaving New York City to United States Marines fighting their way out of the frozen Chosin Reservoir. Along the way you hear how Union troops stormed Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, how the Sand Creek Massacre and the slaughter at Franklin scarred the Civil War era, and how late-autumn decisions in Washington, Tehran, and New York set the terms for global conflict and coalition war in the twentieth century.

You will hear a narrative walk through the week’s events, with each moment placed in its wider campaign and era, from the first B-29 raid on Tokyo to the “Home by Christmas” offensive that unraveled in Korea and the resolution that cleared the way for driving Iraqi forces from Kuwait. Threads of leadership, miscalculation, sacrifice, and long-term consequence tie these stories together. This Week in U.S. Military History is a Tuesday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, developed by Trackpads dot com.
