Great works of art, inspired by conflict.Great world conflicts have produced not only great military heroes but also great artists who have documented the bravery, valor, and daring of the armed forces and the bloody anguish of battle. Here are the best of their works, oversized reproductions of the most moving paintings and illustrations ever created in the field of combat art. Encompassing the many wars that have involved U.S. troops, this gallery of outstanding images captures the fighting from every angle. The highly expressive paintings range from majestic land-, sea-, and airscapes, with all the branches of the armed services portrayed, to dramatic close-ups of hand-to-hand combat. Charts and maps clarify particular scenes, and first-hand testimonies of the men and women who participated in the battles add an extra dimension.

With more than 1,100 images and a text written by respected author and veteran Colonel H. Avery Chenoweth, this tribute to the U.S. Marines shines with all the pride of the Marines themselves. Salute the few, the proud, the Marines. From their founding in 1794 to their most recent actions--including the second battle of Falluja--the entire history of the U.S. Marine Corps comes vividly to life in these lushly illustrated pages. Pore through the comprehensive images of nearly every Marine hero, uniform style, sidearm, saber, weapons platform, recruiting poster, plane, helicopter, boat, and mess kit. Many of the photos were shot recently right at the Historical Center at Quantico, Virginia, and they include rare and never-before-seen artifacts from the Marines' long history. Colonel H. Avery Chenoweth provides fascinating background information and context to compliment the visual journey.
