The story of the United States Army is always growing and changing. Historians constantly seek to reinterpret the past while accumulating new facts as America's Army continues to be challenged on new foreign battlefields. Nor does the Army, as an institution, ever stand still. It necessarily changes its organization, materiel, doctrine, and composition to cope with an ever-changing world of current conflict and potential danger. American Military History provides a comprehensive but brief account of Army's past. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. The second volume of this edition takes up that story and extends it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism.

“This collection makes evident Coffman’s importance in defining the field of modern American military history. Lucid, astute, and immensely entertaining.” —Brian Linn, Texas A&M University, author of The Echo of Battle: The Army’s Way of War Distinguished military historian Edward M. Coffman is a dedicated and much-admired teacher and mentor. In The Embattled Past, several of his most important essays have been assembled into a collection that serves as an essential reference to the discipline and an initiation to the study of military history for aspiring scholars. The essays explore a range of critical issues in military historiography?such as strategies for conducting oral history and research methodologies?and examine questions at the heart of the field. Included are two seminal essays on World War I, which provide a fascinating overview of American war strategies and illuminate the reasons why so many historians have ignored this critical turning point in twentieth-century history. The volume concludes with an unpublished essay detailing Coffman’s experience of interviewing General Douglas MacArthur in 1960. Offering readers insights into more than two hundred years of United States military history,The Embattled Past is a primer on the profession from one of the most honored scholars of our time. “No one who professes to work in this field, especially as it relates to the history of the Army in the 19th and 20th centuries, can go very far without consulting what Professor Coffman has written on his subject.” —Roger Spiller, George C. Marshall Professor of Military History, emeritus, US Army Command and General Staff College “Displays Coffman’s years of scholarly expertise and personal experiences as a preeminent historian.” —Quarterly Journal of Military History
