This work tells the history of America's wars, from the War of Independence, through the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War and the Spanish-American War, to World War I. Analysing each battle, the author narrates the progress of events at Gettysburg, Trenton, the Meuse-Argonne, San Jacinto, San Juan Hill and elsewhere, while portraying - and evaluating - American generals such as Washington, Winfield Scott, Grant, Lee and Pershing.
Believing that our past wars have been a major factor in making this country what it is, Maj. Gen. J. F. C. Fuller (1878?1966) presents in this comprehensive study a complete roster of those crucial actions on which our national life has turned. ø A professional soldier, military writer, and historian of international repute, Fuller has written a lucid, nontechnical, and absorbing account of every decisive American battle from Revolutionary times to the outbreak of World War II, including all the historic conflicts that have become epics of American courage and strength, from Trenton and Vicksburg to San Juan Hill and Meuse-Argonne. Each battle is fully described; enlightening information is provided on the military tactics employed, and the historical consequences of each are clearly examined. The author has also provided a cogent synopsis of the years between the decisive battles.
From the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, and even during World War II, Americans were called upon to fight for their rights and freedoms.
America was discovered in a search for trade routes, but our country has been in larger part maintained and transmitted to us directly or indirectly as the result of war. Almost from the outset there were conflicting claims on the part of Spain, France, and England, and also Holland. The struggles against hostile native tribes along the Atlantic seaboard were followed by war against the aggressions of the French, who would have kept the English-speaking colonies east of the Alleghanies. That long period of strife was followed by two conflicts with England, the first gaining America for Americans as an independent nation, the second confirming it as an independent nationality. In this book, concise chronology of leading events in American history which runs through from beginning to end is not entirely limited to the military side of history.
