Almanac of American Military History

Tucker nails it again in these 2,500 pages of excellent writing that cover a wealth of historical information. For these reasons, plus the fact that military events account for a large subset of general American history, this set is heartily recommended for public and academic libraries. For the fullest accounting of our nation's martial adventures, a supplemental volume is also recommended: The Oxford Companion to American Military History, in which 1,100 entries cover major wars, military leaders, Acts of Congress, peace groups, weapons, and aspects of life in the armed forces. Together, these books should be able to answer just about any question on the subject.
