Title: Short- to medium essays on different eras of conflict
Review: A reader using this book will have an opportunity to read about different aspects of war as seen from American conflicts that include the Civil War, the World Wars, Vietnam, etc. They are shorter in scope than Ambrose's usual longer efforts that have gained him so much distinction, but each serves its purpose in explaining some aspect of war that took place and could stand further explanation. This is another of his thinner "compilation" efforts, but contains more new material than does Comrades. It is very interesting to read, but its shorter nature does not allow readers to answer all of the questions they may have.
