Sections include: Colonial Wars 1512-1774, The American Revolutionary War, Foreign Wars of the Early Republic, American Indian Wars 1790-1859, the Growth of the Professional Army (1815-1860), The Texas Revolution and the US-Mexican War, The American Civil War, American Indian Wars 1866-1890, The Spanish-American War, America’s Rise to World Power 1867-1917, Rise of the US as an Asian Power 1899-1922, Intervention in Central America and the Caribbean 1903-1935, WWI, WWII in the Pacific, WWII in Europe, The Korean War, The Vietnam War, and the Cold War.
Although each section is perforce not extensive, it seems to me to cover all the major highlights of the period and includes major battles.
Evaluation: This is an excellent introduction to conflicts in which the United States was involved up to the Cold War years and will provide sufficient background to anyone wishing to delve deeper into the individual topics.
