Book Description
"From the founding of the American militia in 1636, to the participation of National Guard and Reserve forces in today's war on terror, citizen-soldiers have come forward during national emergencies to provide necessary-defense. These men and women have contributed greatly to their country in times of military action, especially since the attacks of September 11, 2001, and have become essential in both Iraq and Afghanistan in recent years. This book provides groundbreaking information on the contributions of the citizen-soldiers, who are such a crucial extension of the American defense system."--Résumé de l'éditeur
