Description

  • Over 100 maps and images, timelines, suggestions for further reading, and sidebars with biographical and pop cultural anecdotes break up the text and provide ways for students to engage more fully with the content. Includes a discussion of European models of warfare and how they relate to the development of an American "Way of War," providing a comparative framework that ties American military experience to the Western world more broadly.
  • A comprehensive companion website features a test bank of MCQs, essay and discussion questions for lecturers. Resources for students include an interactive timeline, chapter summaries, annotated further reading, annotated web links, and a glossary.
  • This new edition is updated to account for the most recent historiography, and includes a brand-new conclusion which highlights the larger thematic issues that run throughout the book and identifies ongoing debates in the field of American military history.
