“In The Greatest U.S. Army Stories Ever Told, Editor Iain Martin assembled a series of articles that tell the story of American soldiers of all eras and all ranks, from the American Revolution to Operation Iraqi Freedom, and from privates to generals. The book is a wonderful mix of stories and authors: Louisa May Alcott’s articulate accounting of her service as a nurse in the Civil War; Lakota Chief Red Horse on the Battle of the Little Big Horn; Cornelius Ryan in an extract from The Longest Day.“Martin has introduced each chapter with a brief description of the setting and added a few lines after each presentation. His work is very effective, both in his selection of articles and in the organization and presentation. Military historians and others who have read extensively in the field of American military history will be familiar with much of the contents of the volume, although there may be a few surprises. For the casual reader of Army history, this volume will inspire further reading.”- BG Philip L. Bolte, USA, Ret. / On Point Magazine "This book is another title that should be included in your personal library. Martin has searched many known and little known documents for poignant quotes. This book is also an excellent gift for the Civil War student who you think has a complete library or young enough to start one."- George Khoury
