A People's History of the U.S. Military
Description
Drawing on more than two centuries of letters, diaries, memoirs, recordings, films, and digital accounts, this sweeping history presents the American military experience through the voices of those who lived it. From early conflicts to the wars of the modern era, it explores how soldiers confronted combat, discipline, fear, loyalty, trauma, and the bonds formed under extraordinary pressure. By placing personal testimony at the center of the narrative, the book offers an intimate, multifaceted portrait of military life and examines the human costs of war alongside its broader place in American history.
