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.

The rocket-firing Typhoon fighter played a pivotal role in the Allies’ success in the air and on the ground in World War II, from the Normandy beachhead to the Battle of the Bulge and the final struggle for Germany. In this lively, dramatic account of aerial combat, Norman Franks describes what it was really like to fly at low level and attack trains, ships, and tanks; to fire lethal high-explosive rockets into radar or V-1 sites; or to roll over at 12,000 feet and then roar down into an inferno of flak to dive-bomb an enemy position.
