Synopsis

Working in conjunction with the Army Historical Foundation, Levin Associates presents the story of the United States Army as it has never before been told. In 1775, determined and angry colonists took up arms against a common foe, and their battle cries signalled the birth of the United States Army. The Army has been forged in the fires of revolution, tested on continental battlefields, battered at the shores of Normandy, and hardened on the sands of the Persian Gulf. From its first stand at Lexington, the Army has always had a non-negotiable contract with the American people to fight and win the nation's wars. Now, over 225 years after the founding of the Continental Army, the spirit and essence of the United States Army is celebrated for the first time in a definitive, magnificently illustrated, large format book published with the Army Historical Foundation. The Army is too large, too technically complex, and too historic to be adequately discussed by one or two persons.
