People's History of the U. S. Military: Ordinary Soldiers Reflect on Their Experience of War from the American Revolution to Afghanistan

A new installment in The New Press’s People’s History Series, this book offers compelling first-person accounts of common soldiers in the U.S. military. Military service can profoundly impact lives, often being a transformative experience. This book collects personal testimony from men and women who risked their lives in the military, spanning over three centuries.

The book features dramatic, raw, and richly textured narratives from various perspectives, including ardent patriots, disillusioned cynics, and women disguising themselves as men. It also includes accounts from African Americans fighting for freedom and recent immigrants.
