Military Books & History
Keep Shooting carries a curated shelf of 10 military books, graphic novels, battle maps, and commemorative print sets — many drawn from official U.S. Army Center of Military History scholarship and priced for collectors and enthusiasts rather than the rare-book market. From the frontier expeditions of the early Republic to the armored battles of the Gulf War, they pair naturally with the rest of our military collectibles.
U.S. Army Campaigns — Frontier to the Gulf
Trace the Army across two centuries of campaigning. The US Army and the Lewis and Clark Expedition covers the Corps of Discovery as a military undertaking — a standout value at just $0.95. The two-volume Correspondence Related To The War With Spain Collectors Set reproduces primary-source dispatches from the 1898 Spanish-American War. Jumping to the modern Army, The Whirlwind War: US Army Operations in Desert Shield and Desert Storm is the official account of the 1990–91 Gulf War buildup and 100-hour ground campaign, and the companion US Army Desert Storm Battle Map lays out the theater of operations at a glance — a great pairing for the Whirlwind War volume.
World War II
For the war that defined the modern U.S. Army, start with US Army in World War II: A Reader’s Guide, a navigator to the famous “Green Book” official history series. The Battle of the Bulge Graphic Novel retells the December 1944 Ardennes offensive in illustrated form — an accessible entry point now marked down to $4.95 — and the World War II — The Early Years Commemorative Print Set gathers period artwork from the opening years of the conflict in a display-ready collection.
Army Medical & Support History
The unglamorous arms that keep an army in the field get their due here. The two-volume Army Medical Department history — The Army Medical Department 1865–1917 and The Army Medical Department 1917–1941 — traces military medicine from the close of the Civil War through the eve of World War II. Rounding out the shelf, A Soldier Supporting Soldiers is a logistics-and-service memoir on the work of keeping fighting units supplied.
