- Covers the entire spectrum of US history from the Indian and imperial conflicts of the seventeenth century to the battles in Afghanistan and Iraq
- Features an unprecedented breadth of coverage from eminent military historians and emerging scholars, including little studied topics such as the military and music, military ethics, care of the dead, and sports
- Surveys and evaluates the best scholarship on every important era and topic
- Summarizes current debates and identifies areas where conflicting interpretations are in need of further study
"A Companion to American Military History [CAMH], part of the Blackwell Companions to American History series, in fact proves to be a worthwhile undertaking . . . The essays both offer a bird's-eye view of past and current scholarship and perceptively distinguish areas in need of additional research." (Michigan War Studies Review, 16 August 2011)
"The target readership comprises the general public, students and teachers." (Philosophy & Religion, November 2010)
