Kindle Edition. by Patrick K. O'Donnell  https://www.amazon.com/Indispensables-Diverse-Soldier-Mariners-Washington-Delaware-ebook/dp/B08M12FQ85 On the stormy night of August 29, 1776, the Continental Army faced annihilation after losing the Battle of Brooklyn. The British had trapped George Washington's army against the East River, and the fate of the Revolution rested upon the soldier-mariners from Marblehead, Massachusetts. One of the country's first diverse units, they pulled off an “American Dunkirk” and saved the army by navigating the treacherous river to Manhattan. At the right time in the right place, the Marbleheaders, a group of white, black, Hispanic, and Native American soldiers, repeatedly altered the course of events, and their story shines new light on our understanding of the American Revolution. As the historian Patrick K. O'Donnell recounts, beginning nearly a decade before the war started, Marbleheaders such as Elbridge Gerry and Azor Orne spearheaded the break with Britain and helped shape the United States through governing, building alliances, seizing British ships, forging critical supply lines, and establishing the origins of the US Navy. The Marblehead Regiment, led by John Glover, became truly indispensable. Marbleheaders battled at Lexington and on Bunker Hill and formed the elite Guard that protected George Washington, foreshadowing today's Secret Service. Then the special operations–like regiment, against all odds, conveyed 2,400 of Washington's men across the ice-filled Delaware River on Christmas night of 1776, delivering the surprise attack on Trenton that changed the course of history . . . The Marbleheaders' story, never fully told before now, makes The Indispensables a vital addition to the literature of the American Revolution.

As divided as we are today about the state of our current politics and the debate about facts, it seems that at least we should be able to agree about our shared history.

His latest is The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier-Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington Across the Delaware    My conversation with Patrick O'Donnell:

There Has to Be an End to It Someday thru the torture that this land is going thru The going is tough. But we know, when the going gets tough, the tough get going, Who’s with me … right? It’s an American trademark. I wasn’t around for the race riots in the mid-60s, but I have seen the video.  Today reminds me of that.   The Songs, Stories & Shenanigans Podcast5: Antiracist got such a response; I can’t help but being thrilled by the discussions and the real change I think, I hope, I pray, has started. We have seen that people can deal with most anything, expected or not.  There are only two things people really hate – change, and staying the same. Change is hard, but, he ain’t heavy, he’s my brother – at least many faiths believe that.  So, has the belief translated to action?  History in America would say no, but so many of us are not willing to give up on what God aspires us to do; we want to write our own history that lives on the example of love thy neighbor.  I’m not holding the sins of the father against the son, demanding retribution to those inflicting the most damage or euthanasia, as they did to my Irish ancestors. Perhaps I bear no blame for the situation, the dire straits big and small, my Black neighbor is faced with every day, all of their life. But I can still choose to recognize the very, very obvious, prevalent and systemic injustice in our country, and community. It happened to me. I can still choose to change the path less travelled, for equal treatment to all humans – not just to white, male, heterosexual, Christian, American, living above poverty level, with no disability or preexisting condition Americans.  I choose to not leave THAT legacy to my children, the children of God, all over the world. We live precariously, in a world beset by violence, by anger and by hurt. Walking our path on a planet dying for healing too. I choose to not only see, but to act. I hope you see that too, and will join me in living for others. The world is reopening, for good or for bad, we don’t yet know. I hope the only resurgence we see is the one I have been writing about for a very long time. One of, Love Thy Neighbor.  It is what we are commanded to do.  All the ills and strife can be overcome with a pandemic of love and respect for a fellow human being, nothing more, nothing less, designed by God, and therefore loved beyond measure. He doesn’t make mistakes, y’know. But we do. It will be tough, a long battle of ebb and flow – stamina and insight and dedication and collaboration, and looking beyond ourselves, our own accumulation of riches, whatever they may be.  Someone else getting something, doesn’t leave less for us – it’s not pie. Clearly, what we have been doing so far, has no reason for recommendation or recall. It has failed, failed utterly. We cannot bury our head in the hope the pain of injustice will just go away. It hasn’t, it won’t. Only different actions will get different results.  Words can inspire, Actions lead to the change any child of God can see is right. Our children deserve that too. On This Day in Irish History: 19 July 2009 - Frank McCourt, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Angela’s Ashes, died in New York, 21 July 1860 - Chauncy Oliatt, Irish balladeer and author of My Wild Irish Rose was born 26 July 1856 - George Bernard Shaw, playwright and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature was born in Dublin. 29 July 1883 - James Carey, a member of the Invincibles, informs on five of his associates, who are hanged for the Phoenix Park Murders. Carey is followed to South Africa by Patrick O’Donnell and shot dead en route. So, What’s been going on behind the scenes? We came oh so close to printing in July, but with so many still tamped down by COVID, we decided a few thousand dollars loss again this month is better than a 5 figure one. We couldn’t print the issue, so, as we did in April, May & June, we put the interactive edition of the July issue online.  Click on any advertiser’s ad, and you will go directly to their website.  We did not charge any advertiser again this month. July stories include An Irish language lesson, Irish Sports update, our Cleveland, Akron, Columbus and Toledo Irish columns, and opinion pieces from the US and Ireland. Plus, we have book reviews, an Irish crossword puzzle, Jokes, Games and stories for the kids, and so much more.

Cleveland Irish columnist Francis McGarry wrote another wonderful column on the evolution of a police force, and of plea bargains.  You can check out the full column on our OhioIANews website, but it starts like this: Cleveland Irish: Shillelagh Law, Part 2 By Francis McGarry The history of the modern police force does not begin in the Americas, nor in Britain.   It begins in Ireland in 1814, with the passing of the Irish Peace Preservation Force Act.  Robert Peel was its catalyst and was the Irish Secretary at the time.  He arrived in Ireland in 1812 when the local police were grossly ineffective, which left the policing to the military.  British participation in the Napoleonic Wars depleted many of those fellows and many soldier-police stations were abandoned.  Regardless of numbers, the military made very inefficient police and were extremely brutal when clashing with Irish citizens, only adding to the unrest.  The Plea Bargain The English would pardon or commute a sentence on occasion.  It took America and quite a few Irish to introduce the plea bargain to global legal history.  Prior to 1830, guilty pleas were not common in American or British history.  In fact, prior to 1830, 10% to 15% or all convictions in lower courts in the US were a result of a guilty plea.  The plea bargain was first utilized in Boston.  In the 1830s, 15% of cases were plea bargained.  In the 1840s, almost 30%; in the 1850s, over 50%; in the 1860s, nearly 60%; and in the 1880s, 88% of all cases in lower courts were plea bargained.  In cities like Boston and New York in the 19th century, this meant that there were Irish on both sides of the deal.  The Irish in New York City in 1860 accounted for half the total number of arrests and half the total members of the police force.  We’ll stop there, to leave a fair bit for you to enjoy with a nice pot of Barry’s or a drop of the pure, wherever you choose to enjoy them.  Check out this story, and the whole interactive issue on our website, OhioIANews.com. -More- See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Raheem Kassam, Jack Maxey, and Greg Manz are joined by Jack Posobiec and Patrick O'Donnell and Steve Bannon for a special episode of War Room to discuss the historic day of Allied troops storming the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany.

In this second part of a two part D-Day special, author and combat historian Patrick O'Donnell joins me to discuss specific events of WWII and the D-Day landing. Patrick's book catalog is the result of years of making friends with former operatives of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS - predecessor to the Central Intelligence Agency) and veterans of various wars including those who participated in the D-Day landings at Normandy, France. The show opens with General Dwight Eisenhower's speech to the troops before the launch of the invasion followed by authentic sounds of gunfire recorded at Normand in 1944. Pat shares with listeners the tale of one OSS operative who was tasked to go deep into enemy territory alone to disrupt an German main supply route through the Italian Alps. When we transition to talking about D-Day we discuss what the landings meant for the world, and what the character traits that can be found in the men who took part in the landings, air drops, and the rest of the war. This is not a tactical battle study of the D-Day landings but an understanding of the significance of the event and the impact it would have on history and in the future alike. Thought it would be another year before the war in Europe would end, the show closes with President Harry Truman's declaration of victory in Europe (VE). https://www.patrickkodonnell.com/ http://thedropzone.org/index_back.html https://www.osssociety.org/ Twitter handle: @combathistorian

Originally constructed in 1921, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is sacred ground at Arlington National Cemetery. When the first Unknown Soldier was laid to rest in Arlington, General John Pershing, Commander of the American Expeditionary Force in World War I, selected eight of America’s most decorated, battle-hardened veterans to serve as Body Bearers. For the first time in The Unknowns, Patrick O’Donnell portrays their heroics on the battlefield one hundred years ago, thereby animating the Tomb by giving voice to all who have served. The Body Bearers appropriately spanned America’s service branches and specialties. Their ranks include a cowboy who relived the charge of the light brigade, an American Indian who heroically breached mountains of German barbed wire, a salty New Englander who dueled a U-boat for hours in a fierce gunfight, a tough New Yorker who sacrificed his body to save his ship, and an indomitable gunner who, though blinded by gas, nonetheless overcame five machine-gun nests.Celebrated military historian and bestselling author Patrick O’Donnell illuminates the saga behind the creation of the Tomb itself and recreates the moving ceremony during which it was consecrated and the eight Body Bearers, and the sergeant who had chosen the one body to be interred, solemnly united. The Unknowns is a timeless tale of heeding the calls of duty and brotherhood. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rick interview's his friend and author Patrick O'Donnell as they talk about his new book "The Unknowns". Enjoy! Patrick K. O'Donnell, national award-winning author of Washington's Immortals, reveals the untold story behind the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in a searing narrative that thrusts the reader into the brutal heart of combat in the Great War, into the perilous, gas-filled trenches where men fought to the death with pistols, clubs, knives, and bayonets. When the Unknown Soldier was laid to rest in Arlington, General John Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces in WWI, selected eight of America's most decorated, battle-hardened veterans to serve as Body Bearers. He chose them for their bravery and to tell the larger story of America's role in World War I.

Patrick K. O’Donnell is a combat historian, bestselling author, and public speaker. O’Donnell has written ten critically acclaimed books that recount epic, and untold, stories of American war. His most recent book, Washington’s Immortals, recounts the story of the forgotten Maryland Heroes who helped push the war onto America’s winning side and defeat the British.   Key Takeaways: [4:00] Much like the rest of O’Donnell’s books, this one found him. [6:35] Green-Wood Cemetery is a fascinating place because it held an epic battle during the Revolution where we could have lost to the British. [9:10] These Marylanders bought the United States precious time during the war. [11:45] O’Donnell became obsessed with uncovering the Marylanders’ story. [14:00] Although it’s hard to confirm these numbers, but up to a 3rd (if not more) of Americans sided with the British. [18:10] Hollywood makes fun of it, but the British army was a very strong and professional force. [19:15] British soldiers were constantly adapting to American tactics. [29:40] By the end of 1776, Washington and his army were in trouble because fewer men wanted to re-enlist. What did Washington do to get more men to join the army? [39:05] The Battle of the Assunpink Creek is one of O’Donnell’s favorite untold stories. [44:50] Washington’s leadership was what was holding everyone together, and improving morale. [49:05] Why did Washington need the support of the French army? [55:00] What kind of role did Thomas Paine play before the Battle of Trenton? [58:35] Although the British had a large army, they struggled to keep control and population protection when broken up into smaller parts. [1:07:10] During the Battle of Stony Point, American troops captured well over 600 British soldiers. In many ways, this battle was a textbook operation. [1:15:15] O’Donnell talks about ‘Over the Mountain’ men and why the British were afraid of them. [1:20:10] Keep in mind, there were not enough farms to feed both the American and British armies fighting in the South. [1:21:40] General Nathanael Greene was in charge of the Washington’s Immortals to take over the South. He split his army up and called a section of them ‘The Flying Army.’ [1:31:00] Charles Cornwallis made the mistake of pursuing Greene’s army. [1:33:30] Greene’s strategy was to basically burn the british out. [1:39:45] Tim does a quick recap about the tactics and strategies Greene used. [1:50:50] Where was Washington during all of this? [2:00:00] Recognize the past is the best guide to the present and the future. Lives depend on this! [2:01:35] Look forward to Pat’s next book about World War l.

Listen to Rick's interview with author, Patrick O'Donnell as they talk about his new book "Washington's Immortals". Everyone you want to know and all the little extra that you don't hear. You can purchase the book HERE! In August 1776, little over a month after the Continental Congress had formally declared independence from Britain, the revolution was on the verge of a disastrous end. General George Washington found his troops outmanned and outmaneuvered at the Battle of Brooklyn. But thanks to a series of desperate charges by a single heroic regiment, famously known as the “Immortal 400,” Washington was able to evacuate his men and the nascent Continental Army lived to fight another day. Today, only a rusted metal sign near a dilapidated auto garage marks the mass grave where it is believed the bodies of the “Maryland Heroes” lie—256 men “who fell in the Battle of Brooklyn.” InWashington’s Immortals, bestselling military historian Patrick K. O’Donnell brings to life the forgotten story of these remarkable men. Known as “gentlemen of honor, family, and fortune,” they fought not just in Brooklyn, but in key battles including Trenton, Princeton, Camden, Cowpens, Guilford Courthouse, and Yorktown, where their heroism changed the course of the war. Drawing on extensive original sources, from letters to diaries to pension applications, O’Donnell pieces together the stories of these brave men—their friendships, loves, defeats, and triumphs. He explores their arms and tactics, their struggles with hostile loyalists and shortages of clothing and food, their development into an elite unit, and their dogged opponents, including British General Lord Cornwallis. And through the prism of this one group, which included rich merchants, tradesmen, and free blacks, he tells the larger story of the Revolutionary War. Washington’s Immortals is gripping boots-on-the-ground history, sure to appeal to a wide readership.In August 1776, little over a month after the Continental Congress had formally declared independence from Britain, the revolution was on the verge of a disastrous end.

On this day, upon which we celebrate the birth of the “American Experiment,” it’s important to remember that it was not preordained. In spite of today's overheated patriotic rhetoric, the revolution, the victory of the Continental Army, the success of Washington and the country that followed, could have easily gone another direction.  There were many times when the revolution might have failed.  (Given the state of our politics today, that may not have been such a bad idea) Just as important and just as surprising are that there are still so many untold stories from that effort.  Stories that, particularly on this day, prove instructive, informative and most of all inspirational. Patrick O’Donnell is the master of telling the stories of our military heroes and as O’Donnell shows us in Washington's Immortals: The Untold Story of an Elite Regiment Who Changed the Course of the Revolution, it was the revolutionary generation that was indeed our greatest.  My conversation with Patrick O'Donnell:
