Excerpt from The Official History of the Eighty-Sixth Division The blow fell, and how it was met has become a matter of history. I need not dwell upon the fine quality of patriotism which sent men forth eager to offer their lives, and gave women the courage to remain at home and work, if necessity demanded, or follow the men into the thick of the conflict, in order to sustain and comfort them.

Excerpt from Recollections of a Recruit: An Official History of the Fifty-Fourth U. S. Infantry This modest attempt at recounting the his tory of our Regiment is far from the perfec tion we would wish it to possess. While the orders, dates and places have been carefully verified, we feel that the work is still lacking in the finish we should like to have given it. Actually written down in the rough, in less than a week, mostly while preparing in haste to leave Germany for A1nerica, we have not had the time to heap upon the work the care which such an undertaking would justify. But, in the main, we hope that we have set down the Regiment's accomplishments in a readable manner, breathing, if possible, some of the atmosphere peculiar to the doughboy into the situations recounted; thus making the history, we trust, more than the recital of a few dry facts. Comparatively speaking, we have employed but few names of individual Officers and men, feeling, as we do, that all shared in some de gree the attainments reached. Trained and led by Colonel Crowley through its entire exist ence, it is to be expected that the Regiment would bear some Of his characteristics. It has come to be more than locally famed in the A. E. F. For its energy, precision and ingenuity and those are the marks placed upon it by its Commanding Officer and worked out by thevarious members of the Official and enlisted personnel. In short, our reputation for aecom plishments in field or billet belongs to no one person or group of persons, but to the whole body.

American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.

A seventeen-volume compilation of selected AEF records gathered by Army historians during the interwar years. This collection in no way represents an exhaustive record of the Army's months in France, but it is certainly worthy of serious consideration and thoughtful review by students of military history and strategy and will serve as a useful jumping off point for any earnest scholarship on the war. --from Foreword by William A Stofft.
