From the American Revolution to the Gulf War, The Encyclopedia of the United States at War chronicles the history of our country's involvement in armed conflict. War is not all battles and weapons and uniforms; its roots begin to grow many years before the first shot is fired. War is the agonizing decision by our political leaders to risk lives to protect the country's interests. War is every story of every person who gives his or her life in the service of their country. And war continues to affect people and nations for years after peace is attained.

War is a fascinating subject, central to any understanding of the world and the way it has developed. Despite the dubious morality of using violence to achieve personal or political aims, the fact remains that it has been used to do just that throughout recorded history. Countries exist because of wars fought against their neighbors or rivals; they retain their independence largely through displaying both an ability and a willingness to fight if threatened, employing armed forces organized, equipped and prepared for such an eventuality.
