摘要

This set is perfectly in line with what information professionals have come to expect from this author-publisher team. As the title suggests, the bulk of the work is a chronology of our nation's wars, rebellions, revolts, and other examples of armed conflict, both here and abroad. Tucker casts a wide net, including events that are not strictly of a military nature but that impinge on the broader story. Entries begin with Norseman Leif Ericson's 1000 CE landfall at Newfoundland, Canada, and cover strife in the Middle East through December 27, 2011.
