Review:
Russell F. Weigley author of "The American Way of War" The preeminent survey of American military history.
Senator Sam Nunn Millett and Maslowski have enriched what was already the best single-volume survey of American military history. Thus crisply-written, revised, and expanded edition of "For the Common Defense" is must reading for anyone interested in the course of that history, from the days of colonial militias to those of Desert Storm.
Paul Kennedy author of "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers" This is a splendid book, clearly written and exceedingly balanced.
"The Washington Times" Now, for the first time, we have an American military history on the grand scale, and what a grand book it is.
"A work of fine research, peer review and precise, evenhanded writing that is standing the test of time." --Kirkus Reviews
