The text presents a broad overview of military events in North America from colonial times to the late 20th century. The tone is sometimes witty, sometimes didactic, a trifle tiresome. Excellent color painting of uniforms with accompanying explanatory text. Black and white photos provide a supplement, of uneven quality. Special attention is given to the war for independence, the Civil War, conflicts with native American Indians, and the world wars. This book is an excellent introduction for beginners, and still can be a pleasure or light reference for more advanced specialists.
