Descrierea cărții


The story of the United States military is the story of the country
itself. Both have grown and changed over time. Learn about the unique
histories, traditions, weapons, leaders, stats, and fun facts of the
Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Air Force, and Space Force,
and their roles within the military in this fun and fascinating
