About this audiobook
Americans generally show great respect for their troops, and rightfully so. But what is the history of the US Armed Forces? How did the American military come about?
The answers to these questions might not be quite as straightforward as you might think. The American military industrial complex, as one former president once called it, was not always so streamlined and efficient.
It began more or less as a ragtag bunch of colonialists and revolutionaries who struggled with some of the most fundamental concepts of military discipline. Nevertheless, this ragtag group ultimately shook off the yoke of the British Empire and forged an independent nation.
In this audiobook, we take a look at America’s military might from its inception to the present day. We explore the beginnings of both pre- and post-revolutionary America, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the world wars, the wars in Korea and Vietnam, the War on Terror, and more. The American military is still considered a force to be reckoned with, and its story is one that continues to be written about.
In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:
- The interesting origin of the US Armed Forces
- The participation of American militias in the Revolutionary War
- Armed conflict during the Civil War
- America’s participation in the world wars
- How America was involved in the Cold War conflict
- The War on Terror and how it influenced world politics
- How American’s military advanced throughout the years
- And much more!
