This review is from: Ancient Warfare to Modern Battles: Atlas of Military History Maps produced by the U.S. Military Academy: American Revolution, Civil War, World War I and II, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Arab-Israeli Wars (CD-ROM)

These are certainly excellent and useful maps, but this CD is [not worth the $$$] This is a CDR, not a commercial-type CD ROM. It looks like someone recorded it at home. Further, all of these maps are public domain and available for no charge at the US Military Academy's website...Don't make the mistake of paying [$$$] like I did.
