American infantrymen served their country in the fury of battle
with muskets, rifles, bayonets, and bare hands. Gregory J.W. Urwin
narrates the history of these men from their colonial origins
through the War of 1812, the Mexican War, Civil War, the Indian
Wars, the Spanish-American War, and finally to their painful coming
of age in 1918, as a world-class combat force on the fields of
France in World War I. He describes their strategic and tactical
challenges and documents how military leaders responded to changes
and implemented new policies. Thirty-two color plates by
illustrator Darby Erd accurately depict uniforms, arms, and
accoutrements. Eight maps of campaigns and more than one hundred
black-and-white illustrations accompany the narrative.
