Power and the Glory An Illustrated History of the U.S. Military

Army. Navy. Marine Corps. Air Force. From the founding of the nation to the march through Afghanistan, they have preserved, protected and defended American liberty. Their gallantry is stirring to behold, as the pictures and stories in this book prove. George Washington and John Paul Jones are here, as are Grant, Lee, Farragut, Pershing, Patton, Schwarzkopf. There are surprises (Washington led the Army into battle even as President) and stunning stories of bravery (including chronicles of Medal of Honor heroism). The great war photographers-Brady, Capa, Life's David Douglas Duncan and Larry Burrows-are represented in The Power and the Glory, accompanied by a dramatic narrative of American valor. In a special section, the bicentennial of West Point is celebrated. And, yet more special, this volume is graced with a thoughtful, intensely personal essay by a true American hero: Bob Dole, of the 10th Mountain Division. The title of Dole's introduction is "Duty, Honor, Country." Those words reflect the heart and soul of this moving book.Sullivan, Robert is the author of 'Power and the Glory An Illustrated History of the U.S. Military' with ISBN 9781929049851 and ISBN 1929049854.
