In The American Military Tradition historians John M. Carroll and
Colin F. Baxter gather an esteemed group of military historians to
explore the pivotal issues and themes in American warfare from the
Colonial era to the present conflict in Iraq. From the reliance on
militia and the Minutemen of the American Revolution to the
all-volunteer specialized troops of today, these twelve essays
analyze the continuities and changes in the conduct of war over the
past three centuries. In this completely revised second edition,
new essays explore Napoleonic warfare, the American Civil War, the
Plains Wars in the West, the War against Japan, the nuclear arms
race, and the War on Terror. The book, while not avoiding the
nature of battle, goes beyond tactics and strategy to include the
enormous social and political impact of America's wars.
