- ""This textbook is meant to serve as a foundation for undergraduate courses in American military history ... War, naturally, plays a central role in this textbook, and in several instances chapters are devoted solely to conflict. Other issues and events beyond war, however, also characterize the American military experience. The struggle between the tradition of militia and the need for a standing army, the evolution of civil-military relations, the advent of professionalism in the military, the non-military uses of the military, and the military's role in democratic society as a tool of international and domestic power, a social institution, and symbol of American prestige abroad are also part of the experience. In order to gain a holistic appreciation of American military history, these themes and others must be examined in the context of American history"--Preface."
