Since the first English settlers landed at Jamestown with the legacy of centuries of European warfare in tow, the military has been an omnipresent part of America. In The American Military: A Concise History, Joseph T. Glatthaar explores this relationship from its origins in the thirteen colonies to today's ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. During the Revolutionary War, tension grew between local militias and a standing army. The Founding Fathers attempted to strike a balance, enshrining an army, navy, and a "well-regulated Militia" in the Constitution. The US soon witnessed the rise of a professional military, a boon to its successes in the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the Civil War. However, after the Civil War, the US soon learned that the purpose of a peacetime army is to prepare for war. When war did arrive, it arrived with a vengeance, gutting the trenches of the Great War with effective innovations: tanks, planes, machine guns, and poison gas. The US embraced the technology that would win both world wars and change the nature of battle in the Second World War. The nuclear era brought encounters defined by stalemate--from the Cold War conflicts of Korea and Vietnam to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Since 9/11, the US has been frustrated by unconventional warfare, including terrorism and cyberwar, largely negating the technological advantage it had held. Glatthaar examines all these challenges, looking to the future of the U.S. military and its often proud and complicated legacy.Binding Type: Hardcover

Nice Versatile and Strong Cart
Material Type: Three Tiers Cart
The cart looks great and fits our needs perfectly. It is very sturdy and well made. However, it took a lot longer to put together than I expected because there many parts and they have to fit together perfectly. Worth it though!

Not for someone that needs step by step instructions and pre-drilled holes
Nice cart that looks good once assembled. But be warned: there are NO predrilled holes for any of the screws. You will need to build each section of the frame that attaches to each wood panel FIRST, sit it on the wood and use a electric drill or driver to put the screws into the wood.
Same goes for the wheel attachments - no holes drilled for these either.
So if you are someone that can't even build a piece of IKEA furniture - this is NOT for you as this will require more skill and power tools.

Great Cart, Difficult Assembly
Material Type: Three Tiers Cart
This cart is beautiful and met our expectations. We read many reviews good and bad, so we knew what we were buying. The cart was packaged and delivered perfectly. It is very heavy so help may be needed. It took 4 hours to put together, there were no predrilled holes and some of the metal poles need to be adjusted slightly to fit correctly. The instructions were straightforward, drilling holes prior is very helpful. The wood was a darker brown and I actually liked the imperfections of the knots giving it character. Overall, I would buy this cart again. It is very pretty and will look amazing in our camp.
