Almanac of American Military History

This excellent set offers more comprehensive coverage and describes each event in greater detail than John Fredriksen’s Chronology of American Military History (2010). Although other almanacs and chronologies devoted to specific wars expand on this set’s coverage, this chronology will serve students well, especially in libraries that lack Fredriksen’s or that require more granular detail. * Booklist *For easily understandable and well-written conformity, undergraduates will profit by having Tucker’s work available. Recommended. * Choice *This is by far one of the best military chronologies available today and it deserves a place in most collections. * School Library Journal *Tucker nails it again in these 2,500 pages of excellent writing that cover a wealth of historical information. For these reasons, plus the fact that military events account for a large subset of general American history, this set is heartily recommended for public and academic libraries. * Library Journal, Starred Review *
