Early American Wars

The topic of early American Wars receives a new treatment through this perspective-based series. First-hand accounts--from generals, foot soldiers, enemy combatants, and ordinary civilians--allow for a full range of perspectives on the political, strategic, tactical, and cultural experience of these typically less examined conflicts. The personal stories or "portraits" within each book put a far more human face on the potentially abstract machinations of war, making vivid just what the stakes were for not only the nation but for individual participants. Features include primary source images, maps, and battle plans. Each book was edited by Robert O'Neill, a former military member, Oxford professor, Chairman of the Imperial War Museum and of the Council of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and current Director of the Lowry Institute for International Policy.
