U.S. Army

In 1775, angry colonists took up arms against a common British foe and their battle cries signalled the birth of the United States Army. Published with the Army Historical Foundation, this richly illustrated book presents the first annual chronicle of the US Army's 300-year history -- from the French and Indian War to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Detailed sidebars written by leading experts feature key events, significant operations, technological advances, and in-depth profiles of the Army's most pivotal members.
