About this title

From Library Journal:

Formerly published by the Department of the Army (1959), this two-volume set?now in its fifth "edition"?is available to the general public for the first time in a trade format. Edited by Matloff, chief of the general history branch of the U.S. Army Office of Military History, the work features contributions by Albert Nofi, coauthor of Dirty Little Secrets (LJ 11/1/95) and military historian Lida Mayo. One would expect this set to be dry and tedious, but it is in fact a topnotch overview of U.S. military actions throughout the nation's history. The Vietnam War receives extensive coverage, but lesser-known conflicts, such as the 1902 Philippines Insurrection, are also detailed. As up-to-date as possible, this set is essential for both general and academic libraries.?Robert A. Curtis, Taylor Memorial P.L., Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
