Description

The American Military: A Concise History by Joseph T. Glatthaar explores the complex relationship between America's military and its history, from the colonial era to the present day. From the early days of the thirteen colonies, where local militias struggled with the existence of a standing army, to the modern conflicts in the Middle East, this book examines how the US military has evolved. The Founding Fathers' attempt to strike a balance between citizenry rights and a professional army is revealed, as well as the rise of great generals like Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. The book also delves into the impact of war on the US military, from the effective innovations of World War I to the challenges of modern warfare in the Middle East.
