The collaborative effort of retired Army National Guard colonel Michael D. Doubler and retired Army National Guard chief warrant officer John W. Listman, Jr., The National Guard: An Illustrated History Of America's Citizen-Soldiers combines black-and-white photographs with a rousing, inspirational history text showcasing this proud and honorable institution charged with protecting America's security. A straightforward and engaging account written for readers of all backgrounds, The National Guard is a welcome and appreciated contribution to personal, school, and community library Military History reference collections and reading lists.

Let me preface this review by saying that I did not read this book and I probably won't be reading it any time soon. My brother recently joined the National Guard so for Christmas I thought that this would make a fantastic gift. He is a war history buff as it is so it would have worked for him anyways. I think if you like history or have any attachment to the National Guard, this is a good book to have.
