American Military Heritage is an easily digestible historical compendium. First published in 1998 for TRADOC personnel and reprinted in 2001 for a wider Army audience, the resulting volume is highly readable and graphically handsome with many colorful illustrations that enhance the narrative vignettes. Those responsible for training and mentoring future generations of Army leaders will come to rely on this useful volume to instill an appreciation for the lore and traditions so vitally apart of the Army’s rich heritage. American Military Heritage presents, in a readable and attractive format, stories, individual experiences, and traditions from which the Army has drawn inspiration over its long and proud history. In these pages, you can readily learn about such formative Army experiences as Bunker Hill, Gettysburg, and D-Day; about such prominent Army heroes as George Washington, Elijah Churchill, Ulysses S. Grant, William H. Carney, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Audie Murphy; and about numerous details concerning Army daily life, uniforms, and equipment.
