This review is from: American Wars & Heroes (Hardcover)

"American Wars And Heroes" by Maurice Matloff is a readable account of the major wars in US history:

1. American Revolution
2. War of 1812
3. Mexican War
4. Civil War
5. Spanish-American War
6. World War 1
7. World War 2

In each section, the author summarizes the actions leading up to each war, America's involvement and casualties suffered, major engagements and leaders, and results. The book is very readable and a good title for anyone wanting to gain a basic knowledge of each war.
