The American Military Experience Series

John C. McManus, Series Editor

The books in this series portray and analyze the experience of Americans in

military service during war and peacetime from the onset of the twentieth cen-

tury to the present. The series emphasizes the profound impact wars have had

on nearly every aspect of recent American history and considers the significant

effects of modern conflict on combatants and noncombatants alike. Titles in

the series include accounts of battles, campaigns, and wars; unit histories;

biographical and autobiographical narratives; investigations of technology

and warfare; studies of the social and economic consequences of war; and in

general, the best recent scholarship on Americans in the modern armed forces.

The books in the series are written and designed for a diverse audience that

encompasses nonspecialists as well as expert readers.
