"From the first interactions between European and native peoples, to the recent peace-keeping efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq, military issues have always played an important role in American history. Ways of War comprehensively explains the place of themilitary within the wider context of the history of the United States, showing its centrality to American culture and politics. The chapters provide a complete survey of the American military's growth and development while answering such questions as: How did the American military structure develop? How does it operate? And how have historical military events helped the country to grow and develop? Key features include: - Chronological coverage of North American conflicts since the seventeenth century and international wars undertaken by the United States after 1783. - Over 100 maps and images. - Timelines of key dates and events introduce each chapter and help to contextualize the material. - Text boxes throughout the chapters provide biographical information or first-person accounts, and examine the relationship between the military and popular culture. - A companion website that includes student study materials such as a comprehensive timeline, chapter summaries, annotated further reading, annotated weblinks, additional book content, flashcards, and a glossary of key terms. - For instructors the website features an extensive testbank of discussion, essay, and multiple choice questions.
