Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine

This Week in U.S. Military History: September 22nd, 2026–September 28th, 2026 guides you from a lonely gallows in occupied New York to the hard-fought streets of Seoul. Along the way, you hear the story of Nathan Hale’s doomed spy mission, John Paul Jones lashing his battered ship to Serapis off England’s coast, and the capture of Major John André that exposed Benedict Arnold’s treason at West Point. The march toward Yorktown, where allied armies close in on Cornwallis, frames the endgame of the Revolution.

The week then shifts to a new kind of war, as Abraham Lincoln’s Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation reshapes Union aims, the Meuse–Argonne Offensive tests an industrial-age American army in France, and United Nations and South Korean forces fight to recapture Seoul in the Korean War. The narration connects tactics, policy, and memory, showing how courage, judgment, and adaptation link these late-September moments. “This Week in U.S. Military History” is the Tuesday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, developed by Trackpads.com.
