Grunts_ Inside the American Infantry Combat Experience, World War II Through Iraq Part 11

BIBLIOGRAPHY.

In researching this book, I gathered and read many thousands of pages of doc.u.ments. I conducted hundreds of hours of interviews, along with the requisite transcriptions. I read several hundred books and articles, some of them multiple times. I consulted several dozen Web sites and blogs. While all of this material informed my thinking, the bibliography below only consists of material I directly used in the preparation of this book. If a book was not specifically applicable to one chapter, or if it was useful for more than one chapter, I included it in the General Works section.
