Summary: A Prize-Winning Reference Book
Comment: The Oxford Companion to American Military History has been awarded the Distinguished Reference Book Award by the Society for Military History in 2001.

Rating: 4
Summary: Interesting reference for military history buff.
Comment: This book is NOT a chronological book of American military history, but rather an encyclopedic reference with thousands of entries. No pictures- ... It covers topics including: all the major wars, battles, bios on military leaders, warfare methods, a survey of combat weapons and military hardware, political acts by Congress and treaties, overviews of the military structure and services. It features contributions by notaries like Stephen E. Ambrose and John Keegan... its coverage priorities are odd. The political-correctness bent comes out every now and then in this book...
Rating: 3
Summary: An Encyclopedia for US History
Comment: While the quality of the book seems good, the organization is unusual for a history book. It should be emphasized that this is a reference book set up like an encyclopedia on people, battles, and wars (listed alphabetically). It is NOT set up chronologically!
