The role of the African American in American history has been documented but sometimes ignored by historians. This work is intended to assist researchers in locating the wealth of material that has been published. African-Americans in Defense of the Nation builds on a long list of early bibliographies concerning the subject. This work brings together a broad spectrum of titles related to the African-American participation in Americas wars. It covers both the military exploits-as African Americans have been involved in every American conflict since the Revolution-and their participation in the homefront support in building the weapons that the armed forces used.Organized both chronologically and topically, chapters cover the various conflicts-from the Revolutionary War to the Post World War II era-and branches of the military, as well as the role of African American women in the United States military. This extensive reference work is the most comprehensive listing of African American units available. Additionally, a listing of juvenile titles will assists parents and teachers in locating material.

This bibliography lists published and printed unit histories for the United States Air Force and Its Antecedents, including Air Divisions, Wings, Groups, Squadrons, Aviation Engineers, and the Women's Army Corps.

James Controvich's magisterial updated Bibliography is the first truly comprehensive listing of all Army unit histories that will not be superseded for years to come. Collectors, genealogists, librarians, museum curators, and amateur and professional military historians have all come to rely on Controvich to provide the necessary starting place for their research. His first edition, long out of date and hard to find, has remained in demand. This completely revised, larger yet easier to use second edition is an essential addition to the libraries of all interested in the history of the United States Army. Now in two volumes for ease of use, each volume contains thousands of entries guiding the researcher to both scarce and common histories that have been written about the Army from almost its founding in 1775 up to modern times. From the American Revolution to the Balkans, with attention to the Civil War, the World Wars, and countless other major and minor conflicts, Controvich has brought resources for their study into one place, making them available as they never have been before.
