The United States Army, A Historical Dictionary (Hardcover)

An introduction to the people and events that have made the United States Army one of the strongest military forces in the world. The volume profiles the leaders and the accomplishments of the US Army from the beginning of its history to the 21st century.

There is a listing of the army casualties by war, as well as lists detailing the total number of those who served in the army, the number of army battle deaths, as well as war injuries.
