The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
The safety of our country and the protection of all American homes rest on the power of our Armed Forces —
Since that day in 1775 when Paul Revere galloped through the countryside to arouse the menfolk to the colony's danger, the United States has expected her young men to bear arms against any foreign attempt to interfere with her "unalienable Rights—Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
With the astounding growth of all methods of communication and transportation among peoples, frontiers have been pushed outward until now the critical defense of our country may be the Rhine, the Ryukyu Islands in the far Pacific, the arctic North, rather than a bridge across the Concord River in New England.
This book tells you about the training of the young cadets. It gives graphic accounts of famous battles and stirring acts of heroism. The newest weapons and training methods are described; atomic-powered submarines, jet-propelled airplanes, electronically guided rockets and the latest radar devices.
Here is a fascinating wealth of information on all aspects of the five branches of the our great fighting forces.
