The War to End All Wars

The best single volume on the American war effort.

~Allan Millett

[Coffman] can explain complex matters in a few sharp paragraphs, illuminate technical discussions with personal vignettes, and use statistics to clarify rather than confuse.... Should become standard reading in twentieth-century American history courses.

~Indiana Magazine of History

A history of the entire American military involvement in World War I, it is widely regarded as the most authoritative work on its topic.

~Lexington Herald-Leader

It is quite simply one of the best accounts of US participation in WW I.

~Paper Wars

Indispensable.

~Register of the Kentucky Historical Society

Will surely stand as the first source for anyone interested in the conflict.

~Stephen Ambrose

As a reference on the American military presence in World War I, Coffman's book should be a standard for anyone interested in such studies.

~Tallahassee Democrat

A detailed picture of America's first great world military engagement.

~UK News

"The Embattled Past" is a delightful little book, filled with interesting tidbits about American military history and some fascinating stories about historians, the teaching of history, and historical research.
