Davis sets his sights on war stories in The Hidden History of America at War. In prose that will remind you of "the best teacher you ever had" (People Magazine), Davis brings to life six emblematic battles, revealing untold tales that span our nation's history, from the Revolutionary War to Iraq. Along the way, he illuminates why we go to war, who fights, the grunt's-eye view of combat, and how these conflicts reshaped our military and national identity. From the Battle of Yorktown (1781), where a fledgling America learned hard lessons about what kind of military it would need to survive, to Fallujah (2004), which epitomized the dawn of the privatization of war, The Hidden History of America at War takes readers inside the battlefield, introducing them to key characters and events that will shatter myths, misconceptions, and romanticism, replacing them with rich insight. 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 650 0 Battles|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Soldiers|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Civilians in war|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Civil-military relations|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 War and society|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Social change|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 7 Battles.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00828915 650 7 Civil-military relations.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00862889 650 7 Civilians in war.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01746486 650 7 Military policy.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01021386 650 7 Social change.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01122310 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 Soldiers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01125233 650 7 War and society.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01170447 651 0 United States|xHistory, Military. 651 0 United States|xSocial conditions. 651 0 United States|xMilitary policy. 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Military history.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411630 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aDavis, Kenneth C.|tHidden history of America at war|dNew York : Hachette Books, 2015|z9781401324100|w(DLC) 2014024942 |w(OCoLC)890626339 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0015691226|zFound on Boundless
