The
Army
by Harold Nelson (Editor), et al
Book Description: In 1775, determined and angry colonists took up arms
against a common foe, and their battle cries signaled the birth of the
United States Army. The Army has been forged in the fires of revolution,
tested on continental battlefields, battered at the shores of Normandy,
and hardened on the sands of the Persian Gulf. From its first stand at
Lexington, the Army has always had a non-negotiable contract with the American
people to fight and win the nation's wars.
Now, over 225 years after the founding of the Continental Army, the
spirit and essence of the United States Army is celebrated for the first
time in a definitive, magnificently illustrated, large format book published
with the Army Historical Foundation.
Written by an outstanding team, The Army has over 350 pages of riveting
and informative text and stories of the Army experience. Essays on U.S.
Army history and today's soldiers focus not only on the tanks, helicopters,
vehicles, and weapons, but especially on the people that make it all work.
The thoughtful incorporation of full-color and vintage photography, portraits,
recruiting posters, and historically inspired paintings complements the
text while adding the excitement that only spectacular illustrations can
bring to a book.
This book enables the history of America's Army to be cherished permanently
in a handsome package that every soldier will be proud to own and--with
its unique medallion-inlaid cover--to display. This book will be read again
and again by past and present soldiers, their families and friends, and
the countless others that have been inspired by the exploits of the United
States Army.

Emmett M. Essin
The last U.S. Army mules were formally mustered out of the service
in Colorado in December of 1956, ending 125 years of military reliance
on the virtues of this singular animal. Much less glamorous than the cavalryman's
horse, the Army pack mule was a good deal more important; from the Mexican
War through World War II mules were an indispensable adjunct to army movement.
